Gonzo 2008 Fall Hill Country Ride: Friday October 24 - Monday October 27

[bryant8]

Glad to hear that the last few have made it home!

Great times folks, a few issues but nothing major.  I call that a good time!

I'll have a little video preview finished in a few

No turkeys and no snoring?? Sounds like nirvana!! An out of this world experience for me!! I can't keep up with ya'll fun-wise. Better to leave the old farts behind!!

wait one minute........ from what i understand jason does an excellent job of snoring and george can snore also when he is tired from ridin his bike all day. turkey's no but there was a fawn (in front of will and ron) , suicide squirrel (in front of will and i ) and the bravest f'n cat i have ever seen (in front of jesus, zach and i ). not to mention the fact he was bigger than "duke".

i almost forgot to say thank you to lisa for settn' this up. thank you!!! thanks to all for allowing me to join in the fun. and a big thanks to ron, scott, and will for lettn me slow down their high speed adventures today. however i must say the loop is a definite must everytime i go from now on and i am so glad i stayed back to ride it w/ you guys. next year we know that 337 should be all the way complete. sry will but they put the tire size on my reciept for my rear tire. the 695 will be headed to ams-a next sat for a small leak. smells like fuel but i will know more later in the week.

What an awesome weekend. (just kidding Svoloch, it sucked!!) Other than a completely shredded tire (who knew 167hp could do that to a tire), my inaugural ride on the new scooter is complete and without incident. Thanks to everyone this weekend for your help. This kind of thing can't be done with anything less than everyone's input. Not one slacker in the bunch! 

No major incidents, no speeding tickets (at least on the bikes) = trouble-free good times.

Awesome weekend. Andy and Amy came by and picked up their 696 so he can ride to work in the cold tomorrow. Had a blast chasing Will around all weekend on the Blue Flamer.

Chris, that sux about getting the ticket. We almost made it home with no trouble. I saw his lights come on and was hoping it wasn't for you.

I'd type more but I'm using the phone and am laying in bed about to pass out after unpacking and repacking. Looking forward to the post trip party. I have many Miller Brewery products that ended up in my truck.

Love you guys!!

what the hell is that supposed to mean, Hiero?   

[MurDuc]

It means hiero almost didn't come. 

Thanks for the tips everyone!!! I have a good head start for the spring run now. 

P.S.
Hope everyone thanked Scott for touting my beer gear back to me, so that I could leave it for the Sunday night crew.

I had a REALLY REALLY bad feeling about the trip on Friday, and along with all the dropouts and the slight misfortunes, it just wasn't feeling like a good idea, but I decided to go and just tone down my riding time and intensity and it worked out just fine

Damn it Scott, I thought you were going to 'forget' to drop it off and bring the heavy back to Dallas for us.   

[bryant8]

I just want to thank a few people that made this trip work out

Lisa for starting the whole damn thing right after the last HC trip

Will for leading the group around and letting Scott take a break from his usual duty this trip

RichD and Duke for the usual good food

Scott, your camera work on the PS1000 was great!

So here's to the next THC trip

[calscrazy]

put me down for next fall already i now have at least two of my weeks of vacation spoken for every year!!!!

Damn it Scott, I thought you were going to 'forget' to drop it off and bring the heavy back to Dallas for us.   

The Scottish Ale was long gone...

Or were you hoping for more Gay Rambo Ale?!?

(not that there's anything wrong with that...)

It has taken a few days but I've finallly made it through all the Hill Country posts-n-pics and, needless to say, I'm bummed to have missed this one.  But I know there will be more so in the meantime, I'm really happy to see this latest trip was such a success.

Y'all rock

So glad you guys had an awesome time in HC!  The pics looked so fun.  I am so jealous I can't even read the quote thread!!! Really!!! Anyway - glad everyone was safe!  I will definately make the next trip!
