lots of old faces, new faces, eastsiders, and westsiders. sure would be nice to meet everyone!
CrAzY proposal: let's ALL get together. every damn smelly one of us ( er... you ). let's pick a day, and negotiate it out until we have absolutely everyone ( or as damn close as we can manage ) on board, and then let's invade some place even for just an hour. the motopia photo was fun. hell, we found more ducs to come that morning, which was awesome....
let's start with a place, then start to nail the date/time. hell, i'd get up very early indeed to ride out and meet all you bastards... or even stay up past my bed time.
so, step one: WHERE ( then i update topic to reflect )
step two: WHEN ( trickier, but let's try not to compromise!! )
get started!
I just checked my calendar, and I'm in for this one. [thumbsup]
Hard 8 BBQ in Coppell (north of DFW Airport, off Freeport Parkway about a mile north of 635).
Dedicated bike parking. LARGE pic-nik tables on a covered patio and some good BBQ.
Several of us have been there before about a year ago and it seemed to work out really well.
That's a good one Lisa! I think it was October last year when we last met there as a group, Jen's Dad was still alive and I think it was around Will's B-day (since he talked about getting the S2R for a present) and it was before the big BBQ at your place. Anyway, I digress... again, Hard 8 BBQ is a good spot for a big group and it's kinda sorta centrally located. Well, I'll let the westies comment on that. Lots of room and you are right about the designated, fenced in parking for bikes only. You gotta love that... as long as it's not filled up with Hogs... it is a BBQ place after all. [laugh] Patrick will have to bring a tofu wrap for that same reason. [thumbsup]
I'm in as long as it's a Sunday. i work on Saturdays. :(
just about anything in June should work for me
and now i'm sooo hungry, for BBQ. thanks Lisa! [thumbsup]
yeah, i got some drool on my keyboard :P
not much fan of BBQ, but whatever... I'm in.

Patrick this is a great idea. The photo shoot was a great turn out. I am in!
Better than the spiral diner idea. [laugh]
For those who aren't of the "predatorial persuasion" Is there a place we could meet that isn't so meat-centric? [thumbsup]
I'll agree with WiWa on that. I don't know how many times I've seen Patrick eat nothing but alcohol and/or tiny sides while the rest of us are chewing on full entrees.
Whatever you guys decide is fine with me. Somebody just make a decision ;D
DFW airport
- plenty of parking
- centrally located & easy to find
- lots of places to eat
- plus, we can have a "loudest exhaust" competition: bikes vs. jets!
Seriously though, count me in for where-ever when-ever. [thumbsup]

Works for me. How are they set for a group of say.... twenty? It's been known to happen with these DFWM'ers 8)
There's also Wilhoite's and Esparza's over in downtown Grapevine as well.

#1 yours on Saturday
#2 get together at a place TBD at a time TBD maybe late June.

The point of the TBD at TBD is to get ALL DUCS together. Compromise little or none, and get as many folks as humanly possible.
In other words; Darmok and Gilad, at Tenagra
right? right. 'nuff said. [drink]

ooh. it's not good, nordog, it's not good. Those who find themselves on the same page as the Svoloch are a strange and twisted breed, and when they find themselves among that number, they rarely feel comfortable coming forward with that info... Shaka, when the walls fell, nordog. Shaka, when the walls fell.
'nuff said.
-Svoloch
When does the svoloch dictionary come out?? ???
shaka khan or shaka zulu? i don't think either was surrounded by walls. wait maybe..... nope. ???
i don't care pick a place, date and time. lisa call flips and ask the necessary questions. how big a group can you handle? what time on sundays are you open? do you have room for at least 30 hopefully up to 50 bikes? if the answers are good we can go with july 13 so everyone has plenty of time to set their schedule and be there. that's two months out everyone can just tell people "hey can't do it that sunday i've got this big ducati thing for shaka zulu or khan whichever he prefers!"

Topic updated with July 13th tentative date. Is everyone blocking that day out with big black markers? PENALTIES WILL BE ASSESSED IF YOU FAIL TO ATTEND.
Perhaps we should start working on flyers? could put them at AMS and at Plano Eurotrashcycle. Man, if only we had someone good at graphics and photoshop... maybe our group pic could go on the flyer?
phase II. where?
look at you mr. Inevershowup!

patrick, nordog can't make the 13th something about floaties in the deep end. i dunno! so maybe you better bump a week if he would like to show.

That would be too cool. The 20th works great for me. I don't expect everyone to bow to my schedule, but if it's tenative anyway and it's no problem bumping one week I would much appreciate it!
july 20th [thumbsup]

Anytime in July except Saturday the 12th works for me [thumbsup]
20th is iffy for me... 21st - 25th i will be out of town for work.
we should have started a poll on this thread for voting for your top two "x week of X".
I'm flexible... Y'all decide ;D
July 20th fine for me too. July 13th is my son's birthday and July 26th is my wifes, so I should be free. :)

You've got to be there Rich. You gotta hold up the Supersport end of the Ducati line. RichD's too modified and is now a different bike but which he needs to bring so everyone can check it out.

yeah, i'll basically count on not being able to do anything from the 20th through the 25th. the 13th should be fine, though. [thumbsup]
Just let me know when it is, I'll be there! [thumbsup]
should we push to first week in august to ensure all attend? how about it, folks?
I'm leaving on 12 July for Italy for a couple weeks
When are you back? I'm really shooting for as close to ZERO compromise as possible, otherwise, it's just another stupid get together with Scott and James lying about their track skilz, and me, Will, and Rich getting drunk and hitting on people's moms...

Saturday, the 2nd of August is the last day I can make it before going back to work.
Satu August 2nd people? Clearly the "where" is not going to be the issue....
aug 2nd is a no go for me.
I'm workin August 16th (possibly 17th) and July 12th. Any other days than that are clear right now, so yeah, August 2nd looks O.K. as does July 13th :-\
8/2 is out for me - out of town (now that I found everone again) 7/13 is [thumbsup]

Welcome!! We tried to get everyone over here. Glad you figured it out [thumbsup]
Well whats up with this?? ???
ask patrick??
1 month away, any more details yet?
Hello Brothers to the south!! I used to pipe up every now and then on TOB just to say "hi", but havn't done so on the DMF. So "Hi" ;D
As much as I would like too, I probably won't be able to join you guys and gals until later this year for any events. My wife is due to give birth to our second on Tues.
I might be able to get away for a day trip sometime in Sept. Would love to bring a group down to hang with you guys 8)
Anyway, glad to see everyone has made it here to the DMF [thumbsup]
If any of you make it up to God's country be sure to give me a shout out. You're welcome anytime [beer]

July 13th is out for me. My son is turning 5 that day and we have birthday plans for him at 1pm. If it's later in the day, I might be able to make it. :)
Has anyone determined anything?
Can't make the 13th. Off to Oklahoma for some hill-repeats. (http://www.smileyhut.com/naughty/bicycle.gif)

I'm very familiar with that road off of the mountain. It's great if you can catch it without any traffic. The fun roads are just west of there a couple of miles. Just head west and then take a right or left [evil]

The S. Grade road at Palomar Mtn. is one of my all time favorites.

"S2" (Cali State HWY-2) is another GREAT one...
