Ride anyone?
Hate you guys... [cheeky]
In.
Where/when? How about an east to west 455 run to Muenster. Lunch. Windmills. Tavoas Bridge.
In
Out [bang]
we can do the same route we did to Loose Wheels and ride back the same way? We can meet at 10?
In 25 words or less what's the Loose Wheels route. Weather could be very similar to today. Important to those without Gerbing stuff. I'm interested. Haven't ridden in a while, long over due. [moto]
R u sure the warden will let u go?

Start at the corner of hwy 5 and El Dorado Parkway (QT gas station)
Go towards McKinney Airport and pick up hwy 546 â€" fun twisty section
North on 982 to Princeton (go through Princeton) - a little construction but only for 7 miles
Pick up 1377 North towards Blue Ridge â€" long sweepers
Left on 545 heading East to 121 intersection â€" tight turns with some straights
121 North to Westminster â€" 10 miles of straighter than hell roads
3133 North to 2799 where we gas up at Tom Bean
11 West to 69 North â€" straight and boring but no way around that
Then onto 697 East â€" well known and fun as hell road that takes us just south of Sherman.
Lunch and then everyone can superslab or take 11 South back to 2799 and onto 121 West to 75 South and into Anna for some 455 West into Celina where you will be 10 miles North of the Dallas North Tollway.
Suggestions are welcome to avoid the 121 North to Westminster but 697 CANNOT be missed.
works for me. I'll be at the QT, 10, thurs.
Used to teach tactical shooting at a range near that area right outside of Whiteright. Where would lunch be?
Loose Wheels if it's open or anywhere in Sherman.
Tom Bean?
I am in for sure.
It's in Deaf Smith County
I'm off Wed and Fri this week. Oh well. Have a great
first group ride on 2011 [moto]

yes sir, there's a town called that.
There's a gun range there. I was wondering if that's where oldfastwin did his instructing.
I will be bringing a friend with me. The weather is looking stellar and I can not wait! [thumbsup]

Texas Pistol Academy. They still have me on their website and I haven't taught there in years. And they have the number of years I taught there wrong too. [bang]
Is anyone else having a brainstorm about an awesome 'ride & shooting class' kinda day?...
Forecast for tomorrow is high 50's and mostly sunny [moto] AWESOME!
roll call please.

Josh?
jv is tentative in.
i have to be back in the D by 4:30/5p. and no later
battery seems weak but good enough for one last hurrah. i hope.
going to test the new front end and bed in brakes on tollway tonight. if i kick the bucket because i did not assemble calipers correctly, it would be impolite of you not to eat moonpies at my funeral.
Chattanooga is a client of mine.........we will have Moonpies.
SHOW UP!!!!
we will be home by 3 at the latest but more like 2
Test ride went well. I will be there tomorrow
I'm in.

good times
awesome ride. next time we will do 697 four times instead of two.
great stuff! That 697 is awesome [moto]
that was some good barbeque too.
Great times for sure... 697 is a hell of a fun ride!
Nice meeting you Brian and I hope to ride with you all very soon.
I was there? [laugh]
other brian
If we hadn't spent so much time yapping we could have looped Westmienster in and back up the 75 service road to 455. just saying..... ;D
I enjoyed the yap. That was a great BBQ place, they even had sweet tea. Now if they only would have had Moon Pies...
i got fresh ones. a case of 'em at the house. straight from tennessee. They are visibly 'fluffier' making them far more delicious.
Where did y'all have the good BBQ. Always room on the list for another good meat restaurant. ;D [drool]
new place not far from 697

I'll bring some back with me when I'm in Chattanooga at month end. :o
Thanks for letting me ride and hang with you Guys (and Gal) today. Great time!
come out often!
Nice January day for a spin. Glad you folks had a good one. Tomorrow is going to be nice too. Hope a few take advantage. [moto] I'm heading east for farm work. No 2 wheel fun for me. :P This weekend and next week sound pretty funky. Makes missing today's ride more painful. >:(
i thought you had bikes at the farm?
They're back home. One is the dead S2R1000. Too much work to do when I go and no time for riding. [bang]

It was a fun day. I've added you to our cast of Characters (that's
characters with a capitol C, mind you!) [laugh]
