Sort of short notice and in the middle of the week but was just curios if folks were interested. No biggie if folks can't do it. The weather should be really nice... before it gets to 100+! The Belmont hotel restaurant would be cool again. Sounds like it was really good. Any suggestions would be welcome. The 999 and the 996S need to stretch their legs!!
Eight hits and no response. Screw it I'll eat where I want! [thumbsup] [drink]
How 'bout we meet at Orlando's in El Prado- my treat ;D
Where is that?? And are you in town??? I'm up for it! Wherever it is. [thumbsup] [drink]

I might be up for this but only if you CHILL OUT! [laugh] [cheeky] Seriously, I might be able to break out if work is calm and the weather's nice.

By your "treat", I assume you mean you're picking up gas and hotel for the
trip over (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=dallas,+tx&daddr=El+Prado&hl=en&geocode=FYuI9AEdfWg7-ilLl0V79xlMhjGPZ0f2pJvsuQ%3BFWMpLAIdfAu1-SnlmSFBXGUXhzHCN67z_mu49w&gl=us&mra=ls&sll=36.448611,-105.575556&sspn=0.41204,0.891953&g=El+Prado+new+mexico&ie=UTF8&z=7)? That's mighty white of ya'. ;)
Hey, not so fast fastwin! Some veiwers may just be lurkers from who knows where.
And Smoke at the Belmont is great for a bike meet [thumbsup] [moto]
I'll see if I can make it even if I'm a little late.
I'm in for the Belmont [moto] Great choice!
Maybe I can meet TG at the Shell station again on the way downtown? ;D

Just 1/4 mile North of Taos... 11:30? [thumbsup] ;D
Checking the shedual and might make this. [thumbsup]
Finally flushed some folks out!! [laugh] I'm hip for the Belmont eatery... Smoke?? Was that the name?? Anyway, I know where the Belmont is. I'm free, so those with time restrictions throw out the best time that works. [thumbsup] [beer] [bacon]
I'm an actual maybe, I'm working all weekend so I should have tomorrow off
I just have to be home by 4 or I'll turn into a pumpkin because Sam has a cello lesson after school - at our house.
As far as posting sooner; I did in fact see this thread last night but I was getting a lot of "SMS connection problems" white screens. So I gave up on it... :-X Not sure if it's a DMF problem or what but it has been happening quite a lot recently [bang]

careful, people might start talking :-* ;D
Dude, they're already talking. But I guess as long as I don't get banned, I'm good.
[moto] Game time decision here - they start the fabled FENCE tomorrow & I want to keep an eye on things like gas lines etc. :o

Well, doesn't it work like ...if you're banned everyone wants you then? Nah, forget that.
Stay focused people. Time?? ???
Did someone say their gumbo was good? I think I remember reading a post about that somewhere. Hope that's the case, my good gumbo meter is reading way low.

I would suggest you stay gone if they are hitting gas lines unless of course I'm your named beneficiary. :'(
Dan, I'm riding down the tollway to 35 to 67 for this so you can try and catch-up Sunday am.
I think 1 pm sounds good.
We have a vote for 1:00PM. I'm good with that. Let's see a show of hands. Any counter offers??
More importantly, I need feedback on that gumbo thing. Now I can't stop thinking about gumbo. [bang]
Affirmative! Gumbo is awesome [thumbsup]
Seafood or chicken/sausage? I'm hoping for seafood. [thumbsup]
No seafood, just chicken and sausage combo gumbo ;D
Hmmmm... disappointment. I'm a seafood gumbo person. I'll get over it. ;D
Did I misread earlier? I thought this had turned
into a supper meet. I might could get there by 7,
but lunch is out for me.
Sorry you can't make it. I bet it will happen again soon! [thumbsup]
In fact I've been toying with the idea of a spring time Hard8 BBQ get together on a weekend day. Once every October is fun and all but we can certainly do it more often than that! Any thoughts?
Damn... I just threadjacked my own thread! Do I get extra points for that? ;D
Ha! Threadjacking for fun and profit [laugh] I think a Hard 8 meet would be good. Prolly ought to be sometime before July... :-\

Alrighty then. I'm going to cruise around starting NOW! So if plans change, please leave me a voice mail ;D Otherwise, I'm at the Belmont, 1pm.
;D Looks like I can make this 1:00 PM at Smoke - see y'all then.

I can honestly say that YOU were one of the first friends here on this board. And still in good standing...I hope. [thumbsup]
For the 1:00pm timeslot I'm going to have to bow out. My hall pass is only good until 1:00pm. ??? :P
Maybe another time. Have some BBQ gumbo fer me will ya Brian. It's (my best cousin Eddy...) Gooooooooood! [thumbsup]
Sorry you and Dan can't make it. Not sure who else will be there besides Lisa and myself... need to dig back through the thread and see who I may have missed. Again, since everyone seems to like this place over Jack's this could be a regular lunch/dinner gig. Hope to see you guys soon. [thumbsup]
I'll be there at 1:00pm for whoever shows.
EDIT: looks like maybe Will, Dax, Bryant, Donald, Lisa and moi. See y'all there!
Luch @ Smoke is great. Don't forget that they have an awesome happy hour too! Made so by the terrific view from the patio. The patio is across the drive and upstairs from Smoke. Go over and check it out when you're there today. At Rockers vs. Mods scooter Scott, Dangerous Dan and I sat up there and got really happy. Some serious free-pours from my observation.

I concur.
What a great way to make the workday more "play"; ixnay to the oss-bay on the at-fay ire-tay. [drink]
Ditto. I thought you were talking about a flat tire. [laugh]
[drink] Good lunch ! Took a couple of photos and threw them in the same Lunch with DFWM'ers folder as the last lunch at Smoke:

Love having a private patio each time when we go - & reserved moto parking out front & good service & food - now if it was just a little less expensive.....
Pics make it official! Nice lunch for sure. Look forward to the next one and hope more folks can join in. Maybe a weekend lunch where it won't jack with folk's work schedules. [thumbsup] [beer]

fastwin, I found Chris' route map from the '09 Hico run:

[thumbsup] That's a great route.
Thanks Will!! Is that the same route that you guys rode just recently? I remember Chris posting that he had made some changes to the route but I don't know if the '09 that you just posted has had any changes to it?

That's a good question and I'm not sure of the answer. Unless I'm leading, I'm usually not paying attention to the specific road names. I'd check with Chris on that. [thumbsup]
I'd be willing to bet that's the same ride route. There weren't any weird turns or anything complex as far as finding our way.
I believe some road construction altered the route from
the first time I rode it with Chris.
Great run! [moto]
