I'm not working until November 2nd so I'm up for a ride or three. ;D
A little rainy today and I'm leaving town tomorrow. This weekend's weather looks like it will be a copy of last weekend... in other words AWESOME!!! Last weekend was perfect. Won't be around this weekend to take advantage of the great riding conditions, I'll be having fun in west TX for the last weekend of dove season. [thumbsup] I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding a few hundred willing riding partners this weekend. [laugh] Enjoy it!! [moto]
I meant, mostly, next week. get your act together and lets go. some of your horses in that stable need exercise.
how about a Halloween Ride? The 31st is a Saturday
Motopia has a scheduled ride each Sunday morning. Open to all even people in Southern Oklahoma. [thumbsup]
Or, you could come out to the AMS private track day tomorrow with T and I and cheer us on! [beer]. But then of course that's a ride in and of itself for you to go ALL the way down there. Come on down! [moto]
Geez people hookey means during the week dammit [bang]
ok ok ok. i'm free on the 30th also. i just thought it would be fun to ride around in a costume. like one with a cape.
[moto] I'm kooky & I'll play hooky ! [moto] I know some good twists in E. Texas & awesome burger joint in Mineola - leave E. Dallas 8:30 - 9 AM - back 3:30 - 5:00 PM. I would be up for something else if preferred. Let's see what the weather brings - I'm open any day next week ( I have stuff to do but could play any one particular day ). ;D
that sounds fantastic for.... next FRIDAY. because that's when i could go too, that makes 3.

QuoteDo you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids. November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when? his cape snagged on a missile fin! Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine! Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snag on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex! No capes!

hijacking bastards ;D
ok so how's Monday work for a short trip and then Friday an all day trip lead by our resident photographer Donald?
I'll try to merge in... lots of trabajo thou!
does the cape come with Super Girl? ???
its the accessory parts catalog i think.
Damn, on backorder
Looks like Wednesday 10/28 will be best weather (some wind ) anybody available for E.Tex hamburger cruise ?
Friday could work too - 10% chance of showers - I will probably go Wed. even if no-one joins me. [moto] Mid-week is ultra sweet, with sleepy [leo] s & a quiet pipe I'm usually long gone before anyone even figures out I've blown past. I'm planning on enjoying trees more than dragging knees - just sayin' [thumbsup]
Thinking about [bacon] breakfast @ Chubby's NW Highway N side just W of Jupiter @ 8:00 AM - lunch @ E.TX Burger in Mineola about 1:00 after twisting around Lake Fork & environs. Could meet up with some folks in Rockwall or Quinlan if you are coming from west or south & don't want to come into E.Dallas. 8)
me me me me
Sun out now!
MUST. PLAY. HOOKEY. TODAY!
(the fix is in at work, Mooah-ha-Ha-HAAA!) [evil]
Mini-ride? [moto]
Lunch? [bacon]
Moto Liberty to gawk at gear? [thumbsup]
Any takers? Leaving soon.... ;D
[moto] Cylone rides alone - ( as usual ) [thumbsup] Looking forward to sweet potato fries ! ;D
8) Great cruise - but, cloudy flat light, windy, & leafy ( just trying to make you feel like less of a loser for working today [bang] ).
[bacon] Fall Safety Reminder: leaves covering roadway are slippery & hide potholes etc. - no problem in todays wind - just a heads up ! [beer]
[evil] Thursday 9/12 looks good for E. TX kookey hookey - anyone out there besides crickets ? [laugh]

Can't make this one either :-X
who's up for veteran's day kookey?
No can do today, ball and chain stuff today on the home front. Made a nice Muenster run yesterday. It was overcast/foggy from Bass Pro/DFW airport area all the way to Muenster. Brrrr, bet it felt like a 20 degree drop at 70-80mph after being in nice sunshine. Bank clock in Muenster only read 59 degrees at 12:30! Needed more clothes. After lunch it was all sunshine and felt MUCH warmer!
Wasn't the only one with a Veteran's Day Muenster run in mind. There was a group of 18-20 bikes in the lot of Roehmers (sp??), Doc's was closed. Had a killer combo plate of sausage & schnitzel!! But the local folks around me were having the tex-mex enchilada plate lunch special and it looked awesome!! I had major lunch plate envy!! German food rocks but that tex-mex plate will be sitting in front of me next time! [thumbsup] [bacon]
Donald, I need to make this east TX run with you sometime. I was at my Winnsboro farm last week mowing and came home Weds. through Mineola around lunch. Had one of the best jalapeno/cheeseburgers ever at East Texas Burgers!! It was damn near culinary perfection not to mention it was freaking huge!! Almost needed help lifting it up! [laugh] Don't do the sweet 'tater fries... o-ring man. I would love to check out your route, my drive is the boring yet efficient Hwy. 80 then north to Quitman and east on 154. Zzzzzz, but then again I'm in the truck not on a bike.
OK, end of long winded threadjack...
I need to go on some of these adventurous rides, I don't know where sh!t is in texas still. I'm getting better at figuring out DFW, but its taking awhile.
Hell, I was born and raised here and I still can't figure DFW out! [bang] [laugh]
Cyclone is talking about an east TX ride towards Mineola, about 85-90 miles east on Hwy 80 from your house. That's the boring car ride route. He does something more interesting on the bike... I think. There is a burger joint at the "major" crossroads in Mineola that's pretty damn good and it's been there forever. Especially considering that Mineola doesn't offer up a whole lot in fine dining establishments.
This time of year is a great time to ride in these parts. We are actually having some north TX fall weather for a change. Fall in Texas usually comes on a Wednesday and by Thursday it's gone! [bang] One day it's 95+ degrees and the next it's 45... fall weather, you blink you miss it! This year we are actually having some nice sunny mild weather, good football weather. Loved the Muenster run yesterday once the sun came out, there was some actual tree color to look at and all the leaves falling across the road added to the autumn feel. In the spirit of Thanksgiving I did see a flock of 15-20 wild turkeys in a field outside of Justin... why didn't somebody shoot them all last weekend? It was the opening of hunting season after all. Don't trust those damn birds!! [laugh]
[bang] Did not get out there today - only commuting on moto today [bang]
From E Dallas I like to take 66 over Hubbard then take 551 South in Fate to 276 E. out to Emory where the fun begins. Cons are: stoplights ( not bad in weekday traffic ) ; slower than US 80. Pros are: you go over Hubbard on that other bridge not IH 30 :( & over Tawakoni twice ; the scenery is nicer than US 80 (which also has a few lights). As the crow flies the 66 - 276 route East is shorter but if I mess around out east too long sometimes I blast back on 80 to save a few minutes.
Weekends get more [leo] ( thanks a LOT Corvette club ! ) Best to be sensible out there - you can zip a bit but there lots of deer, farm equip, School stops, leaves on roadway, etc. Last year I came around a 90% turn and there was a Brahma Bull across one lane about 100 feet ahead of my full dead stop looking right at me. I could see the farmer on the other side of the downed fence continuing to mow his field like nothing was wrong & gave him the hands up shrug shoulder WTF ? He gave me the hands up shrug shoulder WTF RIGHT BACK !
I turned around & went back like I came to an alternate route ... better to be sensible than mess around with 2500+ lbs of uncooked unpredictable beef... [beer]
I'd like to ride Hamburger Hooky cruise again next week... [thumbsup] Monday & Friday are bad for me - anyone available? [bacon]
I'm interested. I'll see how the week unfolds and check with the family social director. I have a feeling this awesome weather can't hold out much longer. Don't want to jinx it but we have been on a three week streak of kickass weather, especially the weekends. Haven't seen that happen in quite some time.
I'm interested. I'll keep my eye on this if you don't mind me tagging along.
any day the week of Thanksgiving works for me/us.
late afternoon run-about ride anyone, say about 3:00? then onto dinner somewhere maybe? [moto]
What day?
today at Jack's Burger in Addison. Four of us Oakies will be there at 4:45 p.m.

You guys just don't want me to ride [moto] scheduling it before 5:00 [drink] [laugh] [wine] on a weekday. It's ok [thumbsup] , I get it [evil]. Of course the Nuevo rico can do that. Hope you had some good twisties beneath those tires. Where did you ride? Pics?
[bang] you caught on finally. tollway twisties [evil]
