Downlow HOOKY: Midweek periodic E TX Burger Cruise !! ;-) - ICE Req!

[muskrat]

Ha!  Sounds like my excursion on 455/753 this afternoon: two loose dogs, one vulture on a low level reconnaissance run, a cow of some sort (and a par-a-tridge in a pe-ar tre-eeee).

Thank you.  Thank you very much.  Yeah,  I'm here all week... And don't forget to tip yer waitress...

ya shoulda sent me a PM.  I had time earlier this morning for that very same run.

Man, you're kidding?  It would have been nice to have company but my "free-time" very seldom matches up with anyone else's so I don't even bother asking most times. 

Oh well, NEXT time then

   Going this Thursday 4/15/10 Tax Day - Usually I wind up going alone but I thought I would resurrect this thread in case someone else can make it.  Maybe meet at Chubby's 11331 NW Highway between Plano & Jupiter ( Closer to Jupiter ) about 8:30 AM.

I have to work in Addison at 4:00 PM so if you want to stay out longer & twist more I can give you instructions about how to get back to town.   [moto]

Dammit! You always go when I can't!! I'm leaving for west Texas tomorrow AM and won't be back until Friday late. By the way, ate at Chubby's for lunch Sunday... quite a crowd! Don't give up asking, I'm making one of these come hell or high water! There's a 1/2 lb. jalapeno burger at East TX Burger Company with my name on it!!!

Dammit! You always go when I can't!!

+1 I thought maybe I could play hooky, but I am booked solid until after noon....

I'm off Thursday [moto]

Thursday looks do-able

Awesome . Which bike?

[Cher]

the good bike, of course 

[Cyclone]

  Cool - some folks can play hooky!  Hope the weather cooperates but it looks good so far.

Boobies - I bet $5.00 that there is nothing wrong with that Guzzi other than TPS (throttle Position Sensor) &/or Throttle balance.
I had exactly the same symptoms on the boxer after a battery change - & the guys at Perry's in Ft Worth got it fixed in about 20 minutes while I waited and watched.  Someone has probably fooled with the "sacred screw" on your throttle body and Joe Biden expletived it up !

PS: we can meet anywhere on the east side Chubby's is just cheap and convenient - hey that could be my motto! 

[fastwin]

Heck, it's my motto! Y'all have fun. Whatever you do, do not eat my jalapeno hamburger at E. TX Burger Co.!!! That would really piss me off!!!

[Cher]

Chubby's sounds good.

As far as the TPS setting goes, it is a known problem with Guzzis too.  Setting it properly is an eleborate procedure that is "sticky'd" on a Guzzi V11 tech forum.  I'm printing that out to take with me to Stuart's next week.  I've got factory reprinted repair volumes (2!), plus three other printed sources of data that I'm sure can be used to sort the ^$%@$## thing out by someone who knows what they're looking at. 

But I bet you're right Cyclone, it's going to be something really stupid because all of the "big" stuff has been gone through already...

Thank God for Ducatis 

[TresGatos]

the good bike, of course 

Even more awesome
that 999 was the a leader on my first group ride ever.

Yo Donald!  I don't need the route, just let me know
that it's not I20 to get there

THIS WEEK !  Thursday (TAX DAY 4/15) I leave from E. Dallas 9AM go out over Tawakoni - hit some curves for a while - Lunch at E. Texas Hamburgers in Mineola - back in Dallas by 3:00 PM before anyone knows you are missing!   I have to work in Addison at 4:00 so I must be back myself

It's about 250 Mi. with a third getting to/from playland through nice country, no highways required unless you need to blast back !  Midweek is sweet with not much happening between school bus times !  

Anyone able to play hooky ?  
And tis time it's April15. What's up with the tax day
reference? [moto]
