Going?
Might need something better for any easties?
Yup! I plan to leave at 9 from the house.
Tommi, where will you be coming from?
I know it's from your house but it could be from your GF's house so I'm just asking?

I plan on doing a ride this afternoon. [thumbsup]
It will start from my house about 2:30 (just North of Mansfield on 278) and go to I-20 West [moto]
It will head south on 35W for one exit and end at the MillerCoors brewery.
Free Parking and non-adult refreshments provided ...if you put money in the vending machine.
I plan on loitering there for about 8.5 hours... [bang]
Then (as crazy as it sounds) I plan on riding back through the same route in reverse.
Wish I could join but other plans are a callin'. :-\
Have fun out there.... [moto]

Hey, you gonna make this ride?
i'll have both arms wired up to an apheresis machine tomorrow AM actually...which is *almost* as fun... though after the session, the ride home is pretty fun...because i'm sometimes kind of dizzy and lightheaded. that's where those oreo cookies really come in handy.
i have the carbs tucked away for you, though.

As per Wikipedia:Apheresis machines (also known as "cyberapheresis machines") are electronic sex toys that can be controlled by a computer. [1]Promoters of these devices have claimed since the 1980s they are the "next big thing" in cybersex technology.[2] "apheresis machines" can also refer to the integration of telepresence with sex that these toys make possible â€" the term was coined in 1975 by Ted Nelson [3] in his Computer Lib/Dream Machines.
In its original conception, this technology was to have been used for remote sex (or, at least, remote mutual masturbation), where the physical sensations of touch could be transmitted over a data link between the participants.
Visualisations of this hypothetical technology invariably featured an image of an attractive woman engulfed in a rubber suit equipped with sensors and built-in, remotely-operated dildos, suggesting an inspiration derived more from rubber fetishism and/or medical fetishism than a desire to meet widespread demand.
Sex toys that can be manipulated remotely by another party are currently coming onto the market.[4] These toys sometimes come with prerecorded movies to which the toys' actions are synchronized by means of a previously-written script. Other products being released fit a new category called bluedildonics, which allow a sex toy to be controlled remotely via a Bluetooth connection....
word...and it's one hell of a sex toy, believe me.

Has anyone ridden this route before. I went out today to check it out. the roads were well paved and relatively clean some parts were wide open and others were tight with 25 MPH turns.. As fast as I rode, most of the time I was taking it easy. It's just those wide open roads are so tempting. I would suggest if you haven't run these roads to just take it easy and enjoy the ride. I remember to many group rides where people crash trying to run a fast pace on an unfamiliar road. Don't follow the guy infront of you too closely. This isn't a race. we will wait for everyone regardless of your pace.
Google the roads I listed if you want to follow them. Print it out and you'll have a map. It is 90 miles to the first gas station stop and we caan eat at Grandbury or Glen Rose for BBQ.

I have not... but a13bPilot may have... he lives out that way...
I think he plans on making it to this ride.
I called to give him a "heads up" about it and he sounded like he was going to show.
i'll be thinking of you guys tomorrow morning while draining out my bodily fluids.
p.s. whenever i see your new username, i think of this:

+1 as cute as duke is, I still always think about that damn bike. It is cool!
It IS a cool bike... no doubt.
I think if I rode one I might like it too much!
Pierre Terblanche said (more than once)
it was the benchmark he was trying to surpass with the Hypermotard.
Supposedly the power-to-weight ratio is better on the Hyper...
But I think you could actually drive past a couple of gas stations on the Duke...
;D
Damn, now I'm going to be thinking about it...
(the name thing -NOT- buying another bike.... )
"I will not buy another bike... I will not buy another bike... I will not......)
sounds like someone is buying another bike...

so sorry guys, left CDC a voicemail this am. Our babysitter fell through, kids come first. Would have been there, but I loaned out my Moto straps so we couldn't tie them down in the basement. They've already proven they could get out of duct tape. Damn kids. Hope everyone had a blast.
Charles, THANK YOU for leading a great ride today!!!
Excellent pace, nice road selection...
Sorry I couldn't stay for lunch...
but Duke is happily peeing in the backyard, and I've got to get ready for work.
ENJOY THE BBQ!!!

I was afraid I was slowing you down. There was no way my Monster was going to put a gap on the SBK. ;D
Sorry you missed lunch. I take it you got home and to work on time though.
After lunch Jason led us to his house to see the airplane. It is a beautiful machine. But I could never ride in one as I would be scared sh1tless. I can only imagine what a great experience it would be to pilot a plane like that.
The ride is ten times better in the fall when it is cooler. We'll have to do it again.
On the way home, the heat was brutal and we got lost. I kept on reading the directions Jason gave us and I was looking for 917 when I should have been looking for 171. Anyway we found our way eventually with Jim's GPS. Jim has pictures I hope.

My bad Tommi. The phone was in the tank bag and I didn't think to check it knowing that you know my number. Jason kept calling my number too b/c RichD's phone bat went dead so he couldn't reach RichD too. (Say that seven times fast).
But now I have 3 more post to go. ;D

Sorry bout that. :-[ Glad ya'll made it home ok. Great ride. ;D
The "Time Machine" worked well... I got home at 1:22! Which I think was about 50 minutes+/- travel.

I can't believe you're not a hero yet
Nice roads and good company today, for sure! But the heat was brutal. Definitely fun on 1188 and 1189 (and I few others I don't recall). I'm definitely up for a repeat of this run when it's at least 15-20 degrees cooler. I saw 105 degrees on a bank sign in one of those towns we scooted through. :-X
Thanks for leading, Charles. Thanks for suggesting this last minute ride, Tommy - even if you guys couldn't make it. Next time!
