Weekend Ride (Can you handle it?)

[Bonwilder]

I'm going to try and make it as well... By the time I got home on Monday my greater trochanter needed some massaging but I had a great time!

Sounds good Tommy. I'll back up and take at look at the route map later tonight or tomorrow but it sounds really nice and I'll google the Starbucks to see where that is. Where do you take a lunch stop? I'll plan on making this. Too bad the cooler weather is fading and it sounds like it will be back to normal 95-97 degrees on Sunday. Oh well... it's TX.

Sounds good!

Too everyone that is curious........
We will be meeting up at 8:30 am at Starbucks in Burleson, TX, leaving by 9:00 am.
the address is 1401 Sw Wilshire Blvd, Burleson, TX

From I-20 take I-35w south to exit 37 (174/Wilshire blvd) south 2.7 miles to rte 731. The Starbucks will be on your left.  You will need to make a U-Turn and turn right into Starbucks/Texaco.

Also, I figure we can eat in Glenrose, there is a good BBQ joint there

I think I'm gonna stick around the WareHome & relax, spend some quality time in the hot tub...

You kids have fun!

There is a really nice (not fancy) restaurant in the old downtown square area of Glenrose that Jen, Colin and I found the last time we went to the big animal park (name???) outside of town. You would never find the restaurant unless you purposely did the drive into town to find the old town square. It's off the Hwy 67 main drag. Although, BBQ is good too.

Fossil Rim??

pretty much any food joint will work, I think we should play it by ear.......It probably depends on our departure time  and pace.  If we get to Glenrose at 10:30, we might want to keep going, if it's 11:30, we should eat.........What say you........

f that dude, you're there

[fastwin]

I agree, you'd better go or else we take the rest of your guns... kinda like Obama, Biden and their friend Pelosi will do. That should make you go!

I also agree about food, my life is based on playing it by ear... I know of no other way. We eat when it's time and there is a city available. Sounds good to me. Go ahead and piss and moan now but I'll probably be taking the Gixxer 1000. Love that bike and want/need to ride it some more. It's either that or the Busa, which needs a pre-AR trip shake down... but I'm thinking Gixxer. It's OK, I'll park it across the street as usual.

please take the gsxr 1000, I need something to drool over!  Remember, my first streetbike was a '04 gsxr 1000, the only bike I wish I still had.  Atleast I could pass a car without bouncing the revlimiter, which is more than I can say for the 1098.  Sometimes you just want more.........

I was on another board, ducati.ms superbike the other day and you always see the same question, Is my superbike as fast as a R1 or GSXR1000.  A few people on there were disgusted with the question that they see all the time.  Then finally someone will answer and say not even close.  Especially the older superbikes.  One guy who seemed to know what he was talking about said After 3rd gear the I4's will take it, I laughed and thought to myself, by the time I hit 2nd gear on a newer liter bike (Inline 4) you would need a better zoom on your camera to see me.  I can hit 80-90 mph before I even see 2nd gear on a gixxer, and with 160+ hp (my 1098 has about 143 hp to the rear) my 1098 would never catch up.  The 1098 is only better if you are on a track and are able to ride the tires off of it.(most people, including myself.....can't)  But it is pure sex to look at it.

+1 you have to spend a lot of money to get that kind of power out of these twins. I have responded to those same questions before and generally my answer is something along the lines of... "if you were buying a bike to be the fastest on the street then a Ducati aint it". Getting the 848 for me was never about how fast or slow it was and as a matter of fact I never even knew what kind of power it produced until after I got it, it just wasnt even a factor for me. 

Love the GSXR Brian, hope you do bring it. If I had the coin you can bet my mother's eyes I would have one in the garage! I want TL1000R also, I really really want a TLR... I mean ... REALLY want one.  Brian probably has one

Will Mr. BarneePhife and Mrs. ThelmaLou be joining us on this ride? Catie is thinking about coming home tonight so she can ride. She was hoping that you guys would be there.
