Hi Charles...I PMed him (Rob) on the other site that we hang out at. He was supposed to come over tonight and work on his bike, but he couldn't find any Engine Ice. I'm sure he'll be here soon.

I'm staying waaaaay in the back of the sport group this time.  If I get hit on the knees with those huge rocks again, I'm going to start strangling people.   

knee pucks...

I'm in as long as it's a Sunday. 

I'm gonna test out this "cool vest" I got last week if it's hot. It's one of those blue "bullet proof" looking things with ice pack pockets on the inside and a hydration pack in the back. Makes me look really fat in an Aerostich suit, but at least I'll be cool.... I couldn't pass up such a nice deal on it. It lists for $189. I got it for $50.

Glad you made it here... Looking forward to catchng up

This might as well be a track day... im wearing full leathers this time...

O.K. it looks like we're starting to get a concensus; June 22nd or 29th.

Let's give it until the end of the week before a date is set.

Thinking I might try and make a pre-run to Muenster late in the week (yeah it's more than a month away for the "big" group ride... so what?!?)

Anyone have the day off on Thursday or Friday?  Weather may not co-operate but any excuse to get out and ride 

The real question now, Lisa, is which bike are you going to take on the scouting run?  Oh the choices

I do have friday off, but no bike.  Sorry out for the pre-run.

Lisa, I have an appointment at 10:45AM Thursday morning that I forgot about when we talked today. In addition to the appointment I may have that meeting with my brother. Not sure. Friday looks better as far as being open but as you said the weather might be a problem. I just checked the local TV station online forecasts as well as Accuweather and weather.com and most say 20% of afternoon showers. That's about the bare minimum chance, more so on Saturday than Friday. What day were you thinking about? If Thursday is a must I could change my appointment. Hey, sacrifices must be made sometimes in the name of a ride.

Hey there Brian, I'd prefer Thursday but Friday is do-able.

I'm thinking of leaving from the Bass Pro Shops parking lot in Grapevine around 9:30am.  Hit the fuel stop in Decatur (James' Shell Station    ) then cruise on into Muesnter around lunch time.  Hit Doc's for the requisite German food (and a beer), then depending on time constraints, either cruise back the way we came on the back roads or just haul butt east outta Muenster on Hwy 82 till we hit I-35.  I think the earliest I'd be back to the Lewisville area would be 3pm; I'd for sure like to be back no later than 5.

It'll be the "typical" Muenster route.  Hopefully a good day of riding with some good food in the middle 

the dead guy they put in my knee votes for the 22nd also. my dad calls him fred. he should get a vote also he is here in spirit.

Lisa, just back from the little league baseball game (yes! we lost! out of the playoffs, end of season!! yes!! OK, I didn't say that. OK? ) and I will see what I can do about ditching my Thursday responsibilities tomorrow and free the day up for the ride. Your plan sounds good to me time wise and route wise. I am pretty sure I can alter my stuff by tomorrow. I will give you a shout on the board or PM you with details. I too would rather go Thursday. Have the neice's 8th grade graduation that night but Lord knows we'll be back by then. The GSXR1000 has had a nice "make over" and needs a good ride to make her happy so I am looking forward to it! Talk at you manana.

Lisa, PM sent.

Got it - thanks
