October 17th Ride - Charles De Castro (CDC) honorary ride.

Did I mention ALL Easties?   

Let's not forget CDC, he watched over all of us today.  Here's to ya 

[fastwin]

Hopefully he was busy on his own ride. [moto]

And one to grow on  



Who woulda thunk it; 21 DFWM riders out blasting around on a beautiful Autumn day enjoying the scenery and a fun lunch stop?  CDC would be proud.

Nice day, twisty roads, good food, and great camaraderie. A pleasure to see new faces as well as old. Except for running out of gas on the Tollway on the way home, it was perfect. Kinda painful to see the group waving at me as I sputtered off to the service road, everyone thinking, no doubt, that I had just reached my exit. As luck would have it, I managed to scavenge the tank vapors sufficiently to coast right up to a parked  NTTA courtesy patrol truck and got a half gallon of gas to get me to the nearest Shell station. Man, the Multi was thirsty today, for some reason!   [moto]

I think I see Rob

Does your yellow light work?  I thought you were exiting and I could not tell you had trouble at 90mph in tollway traffic.  Sorry man.

Classic ending for you John

   Oh NO!!!  That's exactly what I thought; Pinnochio's hitting the exit... On we go.  So sorry.  Glad you made it off the North Dallas Motor Speedway Tollway without further drama.

No worries, it turned out well as usual. Strangely, the Multi has always been able to coast right to gasoline whenever it runs dry. Not a bad design characteristic for a bike with a low fuel warning that comes on 30 miles after you fill the tank.

Classic ending for you John  

Just the luck o' the Irish.

We were doing 90!?!? After that ride, it felt like 40. Well, duh! No wonder I ran out of gas.

Just don't feel good about group rides this big anymore. Would love to hook up on smaller rides with folks I know. Glad you guys had fun but I'm looking forward to smaller group rides with more well known riders. No offense to the new folks. No way. Just like them to get their miles before a big group ride. I haven't survived 46 years of riding by pure luck. I'll stick to solo rides and smaller experienced rides. Again, no offense to the newbies. I hope to see you soon on a ride. [moto] But first things first.

nancy negativity. we split into multiple groups so we didn't look or act like a parade of dumdums with wheels.



also, a loose rear brake switch for the brake light was the culprit for the intense LED disco show coming from the back of the monster. 2 minutes in the garage and it was discovered, counting the time to cut and light a stoagie.

Again, that's Mr. Nancy Negativity to you. And no one said anything about dumdums with wheels. Stoagies are goodness! Hope it was a good one!!!

Good to hear about the brake light fix and I've got your
bracket where it won't get lost.
I prefer small groups, but this rocked
big time today!  I should have spent
some time from trailing the rabbits and
rode back and enjoyed the scenery more
at least for a while. All those bikes and
no drops. Great job everyone
