AWESOME ride day!  Thanks Dax for putting this one on.  I enjoyed meeting all the "new" people but if today is any indicator, we're going to need name tags for the next group ride for sure  [laugh]  Gotta luv it!

I took a ton of pix but I need to run 'em through photochop so I can make myself Heidi Klum.  Will post a link later.

fyi, if i am leading any "fast" group, we will be going fast. And we will cover a lot of miles. For reasons beyond my control, we will also probably arrive after other groups, but members of my ride group will also see many roads  that they could not have planned ahead for.

Glad you guys had fun! Hope you all made it home safe. Just got back from a solo Muenster ride. What a great day weather wise! I've been waiting since late April for these days. Doc's was dead. Couldn't believe it! I literally was the only person there and it was 1:00!! The were 6-8 Harley riders tightening their do-rags and getting ready to leave when I arrived. But zero riders ever showed up while I had lunch. Crazy!! Needless to say the service was great. [thumbsup] [drink]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Awesome day!    [moto] [moto] [moto]  Had a great time!

It was great to meet everyone, and yes we need name tags for the next meet up...

It was fun exploring some new roads, the scenery today was great with the leaves starting to turn.  And it was fun learning how to ride on gravel...  :P  (ok, that part not so much fun but I made it out of the parking lot without dumping it in front of the audience  [clap])  The food there was great but I needed a nap before we started to head back...

Thanks 'skrat for setting this up... someday we need to take this route again so you can show 'spoke where all the turns are...    [cheeky]

you bet UJ.  The funniest part was waiting and watching all of you look over and point yet no one slowed fast enough to make the turn.

You all were hiding behind the trees...  sneaky...

Oh well, without the stories it would make these boards pretty boring. 

It would have been fun to have a GPS setup on AM's bike just to know where they really went...  [cheeky]

Yes, thanks Dax!! Good job!

You know what's cool?  This HUGE ride
was in honor of CDC. Sometimes things just
fall into place in spite of entropy.

I had one hooked up in vegas, but in the sunlight it is very hard to read (i gots no fairing). I'll see about rigging something up in the future and calling it my "gauges".

I am glad I made this ride. It is good to be able to put faces with some of the names on the board. We should make this an annual ride. I didn't know CDC, I did see him at a Demo Day in Ft. Worth a couple years ago. He seemed like a nice guy and rode a nice bike.

I will make more group rides with you guys when I can. It was a great ride.
