Big Bend CANCELLED

[muskrat]

Until further notice, we must move the trip.  I'm afraid that I have to be in Cinci that week now and it's getting too close to the wedding to plan that far ahead.  Sorry for this guys but if you'd like I can forward all the info I have on Big Bend if you decide to tear off on your own.

Sounds like a cool trip. What month?

sometime after February 8th when my Dad returns home to Venezuela.  I'm itching.

Awesome, I'll keep an eye on the thread.

OMG you don't know how long I have wanted to do this ride. I have heard it's a pretty quick trip once you get outside of Abilene. I've had friends who have actually gone out there in a matter of 6-7 hours on the bike. These are HD dudes who do something like a race/timed/thingy to see how fast you can go out and come back. I'm thinking an 8-9 hour I-20W blitz then down south to the BBNP. One of my friends who has a Busa said he got his bike up to 180+ down one of the roads on a bright sunny day. When he came to a stop in a small crossing a statie came up and said that was some impressive driving, how fast were you going? Bobby said about 180 or so. Trooper said, I thought so I lost you at about 150. Went on down the road.

Look at me I'm a 970 now!

I will NOT do 180 with deer    Hell I can't run that fast on my little Duckie anyway.
So lets visit and discuss plans then.....

I'll take my cowl off and you can ride with me 

[TresGatos]

This may be my first multi-day ride. I have not been down there in many moons and never on two wheels.

Dax, any routes in mind so I can fire up the PC atlas and dream?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.....

 [moto] I would be interested in doing this ride !  [moto]

Das Boot will not do 150 mph unless you throw it out of a plane ! It will however ford small streams, go over loose rock bigger than pea gravel, and allow enough pillion for camping - but that slows it down even more ( to sensibly above the speed limit ) !  

Sounds like a couple of different routes are being discussed ( Abilene vs San Antonio ) so I too will keep an eye on the thread and see what develops !  

My theory is that being hasty seldom allows for full pleasure - not that there is anything "wrong" with that !
