Plan for a long ride and a Kick Stands Up time of around 12:15pm-12:30pm. We need to start promptly as our KSU time is later than I'd want but we need to acommodate a few riders. Plus I have no idea how long this ride will take.

Yellow is the trip down to Dublin.
Green is the return route.

1. Planning to stop in Stephenville for lunch at the below location.

Hard Eight Barbeque
1091 Glen Rose Rd, Stephenville, TX 76401
(254) 968-5552

2. Followed by a stop at the Dr. Pepper Plant in Dublin (http://www.dublindrpepper.com/).

3. Another stop to follow in Venus for a break and quick grub followed by a promising techical ride up up 157. Plan for a late return and the ride up 157 really depends on the amount of light available as it's a tight and narrow rode and I don't want to take anybody down there that's not familliar with it. Alternate is to head straight up 67 and grub down in Cedar Hill or Duncanville.

Dublin, TX

Start: Great Southwest Parkway, Grand Prarie, TX
Destination: Dublin, Texas
Finish Great Southwest Parkway, Grand Prarie, TX
Total Distance: Unknown at this time
Estimated Total Time: Unknown at this time

[Monsoon X]

I'd like to but I don't get out of class till 12:00pm on Sat. morning. When ya'll heading out?

[perezsteveo]

Im in!! :D

[perezsteveo]

Is this going to be a one day trip or are we going to camp??

[evil jose]

I'd like to but I don't get out of class till 12:00pm on Sat. morning. When ya'll heading out?

How long will it take you to get ready? We could wait but I don't want to leave to late in the afternoon so we'd have to get a start time as close to Noon as possible.

Is this going to be a one day trip or are we going to camp??

Let's make this a day trip this time. I've got an idea we can day for an overnight trip to either Possum Kingdom Lake or Lake Whitney for the next "short" trip. Possum Kingdom's State Park has cabin rentals available and Lake Whitney we could crash out at my parents house.

I could leave class early. And be ready by Noon

[evil jose]

I don't mind waiting. Guess that's 3 including me ;)

[bobber]

Where exactly are ya'll leaving from?

[evil jose]

Where exactly are ya'll leaving from?

Not sure yet, where are you located?

[bobber]

I'm in Allen but anywhere ya'll meet up is fine with me. Is this a twisties road trip or just a cruising road trip?

[ThreeFingerPete]

hey bobber, i'll be going for sure unless i have to work, and i'm up in plano, so we can meet up and ride to wherever the official GTG spot is.

[evil jose]

Twisties, I'll be looking through maps this afternoon and tonight to decide on a route.

hey bobber, i'll be going for sure unless i have to work, and i'm up in plano, so we can meet up and ride to wherever the official GTG spot is.

Hey Adam, when will you know if you will be available to go? Can't do a road trip without my two riding buddies http://www.dfwstangs.net/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

[ThreeFingerPete]

well, like i said, I'm currently unemployed, and it takes the wrath of god to keep me off this bike, so unless i get a job and they demand i have to work this particular day, even after me explaining my "doctor's appointment", then i'll be out.


but you know i'm down given any different circumstances.
jose, know anybody looking for a roommate in the plano area?


adam

[PeeWeeC5]

HELL YEAH!!! Im in.... :D

[evil jose]

Well after looking at a map and consulting with a friend of mine back in Dallas who likes to ride his Gold Wing out to Glenrose alot, the ride out looks pretty boring. He said it gets more interesting out by Glenrose as you start the enter the Hill Country but some curves and changes in elevation but that's about it unless we find an alternate route. I'm going to check out more info as the day progress's and post up.

Fuck dude, didn't know that. When did that happen? You've been working there for a while haven't you? Sorry man, don't know anyone looking for a room mate off hand.

HELL YEAH!!! Im in.... :D

Cool!

[ThreeFingerPete]

a couple of weeks ago. they shut yet another store down.

[evil jose]

Check out Bike Trip #1 in the link below. Think that's the route we will take starting out of Ft. Worth somewhere.

[Shaithis]

I can't promise anything just yet, but i should be in for the run. especially since it will be a one day affair. Can't miss the new season of Farscape that sunday. :D

[bobber]

LOL Farscape........................but the dark haired chick is hot.

[evil jose]

OK, updated with a map of the route and a rough schedule of events.

[ELVIS]

anyone know what time yall will be back to dfw??? this sounds like fun, and i would not mind making a few riding buddies. is everyone going solo or bringing wives/girlfriends?? thanks

[bobber]

I'm rolling solo

[evil jose]

For the most part, I think everyone is riding solo. Don't see why it would be a problem if she came along though. As far as the length of the ride, I'm figuring roughly 300 miles. Based on the start time and stops I would figure we would be back no later than 6 or 7pm.

[ELVIS]

that sounds like a ball. i will leave the wife at home and roll solo, that is if just anyone is invited.

[evil jose]

Well don't leave her home on our account but it's up to you.

Still trying to talk my cousin into driving my truck for the trip. What do you guys think? Do we need a "chase" truck?

[bobber]

I think a "chase truck" is a great idea. Just incase.

[Monsoon X]

Still trying to talk my cousin into driving my truck for the trip. What do you guys think? Do we need a "chase" truck?

Heck yeah, a "chase" truck would be needed. I'm a N00b, I might fall or something. :(

[perezsteveo]

I think a "chase truck" is a great idea. Just incase.

Agree

[evil jose]

I'll see what I can do then.

[ELVIS]

if not i have one we can take.

[evil jose]

if not i have one we can take.

Yup, got the ramps, canyon dancer, and other straps. Appreciate the offer.

[PeeWeeC5]

1. My girl wants to go but I coming SOLO anyway.. :D Rides like this suck with BSB's.




2. A chase truck would be nice but if we can't get one I don't see it being a really big deal, we'll just have to chill a little on the aggressive riding. If someone does line up a chase truck I have no prob. thrown in some cash to cover gas.

[redheadintx]

1. My girl wants to go but I coming SOLO anyway.. :D Rides like this suck with BSB's.

Tell her the girls will go on the overnight trip... b/c I want to go on that one too! hehe... ;)


<---perezsteveo's wife.

[ELVIS]

the truck doesnt really matter to me either way. i would give some gas money though if we had one. i will leave the wife because i cant imagine it being too comfortable with a passenger for a long trip. this aint gonna be no 55 stay alive trip is it :confused: ??? tripple digits!!!! :D

[redheadintx]

hahaha

The reason I'd want to go on the overnighter is for the camping; not to cramp his ride. :p

I'd meet him up there or follow in the chase truck or something, but not ride the entire way on the back... ;)

[perezsteveo]

but not ride the entire way on the back... ;)

PUSSY!! :p

[evil jose]

Well pitching in on the gas money would really help me out, appreciate the offers guys. I'll talk to my cuz again after work and see if I can convince him or try to at least get a firm answer so I can try and line someone else up. I might be able to get another buddy of mine to drive my truck but he'll want to ride my bike part of the way I'm sure :D (he's bikeless right now).

I'm all for agressive riding but gotta watch the speeds as well for the popo. I'm really hoping for some curves and changes in elevation once we get close to Dublin. I enjoy that riding more than I do triple digits. I guess we do need to lay some ground rules though for this group since it'll be a larger one than I normally ride with. Mostly I'm concerned about spacing and if you are going to do any kind of wheelies or stunts to allow plenty of room for the others.

I'm looking already into the next trip and I'll have more info as the time comes. Thinking about a trip to Possum Kingdom. Did some searching on the state park there and they have cabins for rent. I think that'll be an interesting trip.

PeeWeeC5, BSB's??

[PeeWeeC5]

PeeWeeC5, BSB's??



Back Seat Bit*h's ;)

[evil jose]

Back Seat Bit*h's ;)

Ah... LOL!

[ThreeFingerPete]

jose, offer to buy your cousin barbecue if he rolls the s'crew down there, it always works on me.


adam

[redheadintx]

Back Seat Bit*h's ;)

Who you callin' bitch, bitch? :p

;)

[Monsoon X]

Yeah, we definitely need to lay down some ridin' rules.


1.) I don't stunt. If you stunt. Get away from me.
2.) Don't be a fool around me*
3.) I'm not trying to be stopped by the PoPo's
4.) If you want to break the sound barrier. Pull out, away from the group, wave by-by and get after it.
5.) We will AVERAGE 70-80mph Not too slow, not too fast.
6.) Have fun (unless, to you, having fun means being a fool) In that case. DO NOT have fun.
7.) Don't be a fool around me*
8) don't be a fool and endanger someone's life.

*All fools will be swiftly kicked in the tail by me at the next scheduled stop.

[ThreeFingerPete]

LOL@ next scheduled stop.

[PeeWeeC5]

Who you callin' bitch, bitch? :p

;):D :p

[PeeWeeC5]

3.) I'm not trying to be stopped by the PoPo's
Red & Blue, Down shift 2.. ;)




















**I do agree with all the rules posted so far.. If your gonna stunt thats fine, but if you take me out while do'n some stupid shit there will be hell to be paid.**

[Monsoon X]

Red & Blue, Down shift 2.. ;)



It's hard to run when you're unfamiliar with the area.

[evil jose]

OK, I TEXT'd my cuz and he's down. I'll buy him lunch regardless, it'll be worth it to have that as a backup in case someone breaks down.

Good rules JC, pretty much sums it up for me.

[ThreeFingerPete]

speaking from experience now JC?

[Monsoon X]

speaking from experience now JC?

Remind me to tell you stories of my Outlaw Father. He's 60yrs old and retired now but, back in tha day! LOL

I'll start with how he got to Dallas from Houston in two hours one night with blue/reds in tow. Here's a hint 89 Taurus SHOs didn't have rev limiters or top speed governors. :D

[ThreeFingerPete]

does the caddy have either of those?

[Monsoon X]

does the caddy have either of those?

Don't know. Any speed over 60 and that thing is floatin! :eek:

Man, you need to start doing some of the weekend rides with the guys on here. I know what you mean though, I've been where you are and it takes a while to build up to riding long distances. We do plan on taking frequent pit stops for pictures, fuel, and smoke breaks for me :D

Do you not have a riding jacket? Please get something to protect your hide while riding ASAP. Hell, you can pick up a cheapy Fieldsheer mesh jacket for $100 locally. Make sure you have some good gloves to.

yeah i know need a jacket, the jacket has been high on the to-buy list since i bought the bike. only bad thing is the past 3 weekends, i have been very busy racing and those are the best times for me to purchase stuff. also the races were major 3-4 day events... which means no $$$$ from work.

yeah yeah yeah, excuses :rolleyes:

OBTW.. ordered a jacket.. now gloves.... ugh

[evil jose]

Ahhhh yes.. include me on the smoke break list. ;)

Ahh... Another corrupt person like myself :D

Well your on the right path. I know what you mean about being busy. Hell I haven't had a day off in 3 weeks now. But you gotta love shopping online :D So what jacket did you get?

[SC457A]

i ordered the joerocket ballistic 4.0 , not a super sporty/leather deal. i want something more touring (the style riding in am currently doing) has tons of pockets, water proof. etc. and some armor type stuff. ordered it from a buddy in calif. 179$ and free fed ex!(hope they dont treat me like andrew)... local yamaha shop wanted 240!!!

if i start riding more aggressive then i will consider a leather style jacket.

so i just now need advice on good type of riding gloves.

[Jedi]

The day after I fell is when my kevlar/leather jacket arrived in the mail.

Shit happens, be prepared for it whether you ride agressive or not.

Road rash is a mutherfuck.

I would have opted for the leather jacket. There are several stores offering closeout prices on some of the Fieldsheer leathers and I picked mine up for $200. It's a little heavier and warmer than a mesh but will defintely stand up better in the even of a drop. Might consider buying one once you start doing more riding, you never know when you are going to fall and your body and skin are defintely worth the extra investment. I want to get the leather pants next :D

[perezsteveo]

. Road rash is a mutherfuck.

YUP!!!!
<------- Found out the hard way about wearing gear.....

[SC457A]

:eek:

wow.. i ordered the jacket at 8:30 am thursday, 3 day fed ex shipping. payed only 19$ extra.

got it today (friday) already! helmetcity rocks!!!! they next day'd it !!! they rule and it wasnt 3 days... :eek:

woo hooo... sorry im kinda happy, good service for once

[PeeWeeC5]

Jose, where you ever able to figure up a total distance?

[ELVIS]

gotta get a new rear tire today. picked up a nail on the way home from moes thursday i think. hopefully i can have it scrubbed in by saturday afternoon. do we have an address on where we are leaving from yet?? also anyone from around the carrollton lewisville area want to meet up somewhere for the ride to grand praire if we are still leaving from there? thanks god bless.

[evil jose]

Jose, where you ever able to figure up a total distance?

No, I need a copy of Microsoft Streets and Trips to accurately get the distance and unfortunately I lost that last month when I formatted my laptop and I can't find the copy I have :( I'll see what I can do but I'm guess roughly about 300 miles.

[Knee Dragger]

I'm A LITTLE TEA POT

[Knee Dragger]

Heck yeah, a "chase" truck would be needed. I'm a N00b, I might fall or something. :(

Plus he can get some video and pics!!

[Knee Dragger]

[QUOTE=PeeWeeC5]Red & Blue, Down shift 2.. ;)

Yeah if anyone kills me I'm gonna come back and haunt them!! :eek:

Supposed to be sunny... high 81/low 65... should be perfect for you guys!

[Shaithis]

i'll be bringing a tank mount vid cam for the in action scenes.

[BottleRocket]

i'll be bringing a tank mount vid cam for the in action scenes.

dont forget the bungee net :p

I might be able to go, Im not sure yet.

[FastFord19]

well Shaithis might have talked me into coming, That is if yall dont mind riding with an old bike, noob rider, who just wants to ride (i dont stunt or nothin). Maybe i wont have to get gas every 5 mins :cool:

[pacerunner44]

I'm in if I can drag myself out of bed. Have we figured a meeting placed in GP? There's several gas stations around HWY 20 and GSW. I'll pitch in for the chase vehicle in case my crappy bike breaks down.

[Shaithis]

Yep, i'll pitch in as well for fuel for the chase truck. Is it still coming with us Jose? Would it be ok if i threw a back pack in the bed?

[Shaithis]

argh! i can't wait for this weekend to start.

[ThreeFingerPete]

i know the feeling.

i'll know if i'm in or not by tomorrow, and i don't mind chipping in for gas, etc.

[evil jose]

OK, my cousin is down for driving the chase truck so that shouldn't be a problem. Got another buddy of mine riding with him that'll probably ride my bike part of the trip as well. The map is not showing because of the hosting directory, I'll get that fixed a little later. Also we might cut down on the return trip distance a little as my cousin told me it's getting darker sooner down there. Anyway, appreciate the offers on chipping in for gas. That well really help out alot.

[SC457A]

i am still a maybe. i have to work, but i am trying to swap days with a co-worker.

other than that im ready. bike has fresh oil/filter, got my jacket/gloves.

OBTW... taking off all the lower fairing just to get to oil filter sucks.

[Monsoon X]

I might not be going. Ya'll can leave earlier if you want.

[FastFord19]

why wont you be?

[bug1124]

Hey while you guys are down there you should check out the new Dr Pepper flavor.

"Dr Pepper today announced the introduction of Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper and Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper in its heartland markets, with a national roll out planned for January 2005."

I haven't tried it yet, but I am looking forward to it coming out.

[BottleRocket]

still looking for a chase truck jose? :cool:

[PeeWeeC5]

I may be on the "iffy" list aswell now... I was told that I may have to work.. :mad: I guess I will see what strings I can pull now.

[evil jose]

still looking for a chase truck jose? :cool:

Got that covered with a driver and co-driver. Thanks ;)

[staticX]

Id go but I don't get out of work till after 1pm maybe 2....oh well have fun :cool:

[Monsoon X]

Okay. I'm going now.

[ELVIS]

meeting place info yet??? thanks.. god bless.

[perezsteveo]

OK so what time are we meeting and witch gas station?????

[evil jose]

OK, meeting at I-20 and Great Southwest Pkwy on the NW Corner. Can't think of the name of the gas station but I will find out later on and post the name up. Kicks stands up at 12:30pm.

[FastFord19]

just got done washing the old bastard, guess i'm ready for tomorrow

[pacerunner44]

OK, meeting at I-20 and Great Southwest Pkwy on the NW Corner. Can't think of the name of the gas station but I will find out later on and post the name up. Kicks stands up at 12:30pm.

The station is next to a Harley Davidson shop and you'll also see a Waffle House. I can't think of the name of the station either and none of the maps are showing the station. Anyone near that area that can swing by and get the name, it'd be appreciated.

I wanna say it's a Connoco.

[Thomas99GT]

so how many riders does it look like is going? what time do you think we'll be back? i'm about 80% sure i'm gonna go :D

[evil jose]

I'm thinking about 10 riders. We are probably looking at being back around 6 or 7 so there will be some night riding involved.

OK, kick stands up at 12:30. I can be reached at the number below. Hope to have a good turnout and a great ride.

(214) 718-8563

[Shaithis]

Does the east side ( plano, carrollton, lewisville want to meet up a bit earlier to head out the the station? Maybe we can meet up somewhere on G Bush or 35. i need to go to motoliberty tomorrow morning, so i was planning on heading out a bit early. Think i will pick up a new jacket. =)

[Frogger]

Dammit! I'll be in San Diego for my last regular season football game. :cool: :mad:

[ThreeFingerPete]

I'm down, bitches.

tom, call me tomorrow/today and we can meet up.

[evil jose]

Dammit! I'll be in San Diego for my last regular season football game. :cool: :mad:

I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures ;) Hehehe... Well I know it's probably no comfort to you but our second trip will be in a few weeks. Is there any break between regular season and post season?

[PeeWeeC5]

Sorry I missed, work ended up trapping me..... So how was it? How come know one has posted up yet? :confused:

[Thomas99GT]

We had a good time. It was good meeting with you guys. Post up some pics Jose! :D

[pacerunner44]

Sorry I missed, work ended up trapping me..... So how was it? How come know one has posted up yet? :confused:

It was an awesome ride and a perfect day on top of that. Nice to meet everyone and not to get left behind by the faster bikes. :) Think by the time everyone got back it was time for a beer. Might not see those pics until tomorrow.

[FastFord19]

Yeah i had a blast, glad to meet all of you guys, even though i'm still tryin to put sn's with bikes/faces. I'd like to go ride with all of you guys again. I'm just glad yall didnt get on it enough to were i could keep up.

[Monsoon X]

It was fun. I had a blast. I think my fav part was passing the HAWGS. LOL

[SC457A]

no kidding on the hawgs, my favorite part was getting past the school bus, only to pull over??!?!?!?

[Shaithis]

They made me do it.. i was just gonna keep rolling. ;)

[ThreeFingerPete]

we didn't pass the school bus. We pulled over and he kept on truckin.

[Shaithis]

we didn't pass the school bus. We pulled over and he kept on truckin.
Yeah, the school bus was ahead of 6 or 7 cars and we were behind the cars. Could have passed them once or twice, but maybe half would have made it, the others would have been stuck.

[evil jose]

I had a blast on our first road trip. The pace wasn't to fast, almost not to slow ;) Traffic can sometimes be a bitch but I'd rather ride with it rather than risk an accident/ticket. We had a pretty good size group, what was it??? Like 12-13 bikes? Does that sound right? Sorry I don't remember everybody's name/screen name but hopefully as we ride more often I'll know you by sight.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took. My cousin took a couple but I wound up deleting a bunch that were just to blurry.

Here are the first three from our starting point at the Conoco gas station.

[evil jose]

Our lunch stop at the Hard Eight BBQ in Stephenville. I decided on this stop based on other motorcycle trips I've read about. Not a bad place, great variety of meat and they weigh out your food and charge you by the pound. Interesting concept as you can mix and match what you want rather than getting stuck with a particular plate. Next time I want to try some Quail. Oh, and they were serving free beer. Being one not to turn down free beer I had to have one cup :D

[evil jose]

You know this is a biker place when they have parking set aside for motorcyclists.

And our final destination. Dublin, TX and the Dr. Pepper plant. We barely made it here on time after a gas station incident with OneBadWagon :D

Bought a case of original forumula Dr. Pepper with Pure Cane Sugar ($16!) and a Frosty Pepper which was pretty damn good and I had a good sugar rush going :D

[evil jose]

Some pictures of the Dr. Pepper plant and MoonsonX's laid out.

[evil jose]

Some on the way home coming up 67.

[evil jose]

And our final stop before splitting up. Exxon/Whataburger in Venus, TX just south of Midolothian.

[TonyMCev]

great pics jose. i am glad you guys completed your ride with no one going down and no lawdog stories. i might be able to make the next ride, but it would mean trailering my bike up to dfw then riding with you guys. anyone willing to put a fellow up for the night ? glad you guys made it back ok...

[ThreeFingerPete]

man, i look like i just went into hyperdrive warp speed in that last pic!

tony, i live pretty far up north compared to most of these guys, but i got a spare room/couch you can crash if you want to tag along.

[FastFord19]

talk about some blurry pics, but they are good anyways :D

[BottleRocket]

I love anal sex with horses.

[SC457A]

on the pic we are all sitting at the stop light, i noticed we all put into 1st at same time. was synconized shifting!

had fun. took me 2 hours to clean all the bug guts off the bike sunday afternoon

[ELVIS]

:eek: i still have those rib bones i was gonna give to my rott under the seat of my bike :eek: i was wondering what that smokey goodness i smelled in the garage this morning. usually smells like gas and b-12 chemtool. :D

[Monsoon X]

I ate my peach cobbler as soon as I got home. :D

LOL Yeah, it was like on Biker Boyz when they all put the kickstands down at the same time. hahahahaa

we need to start a "biker gang". some one come up with a cool name :D

but seriously that was one of the best times i have had on a group ride. no egos or attitudes, it was great. a total pleasure to meet everyone of you. thanks, god bless.

p.s. i forgot to chip in for gas on the chase truck. when is jose gonna be back around?? i got $5 bux for him.

[Monsoon X]

That must be a popular route. Man, it was bikes everywhere.

[evil jose]

I remember that light and I remember all of us at that light and remember how we all dropped into gear at the same time and I was thinking how sweet that looked ;)

Yes, that route is pretty popular for bikers and one of the reasons I choose it. Possum Kingdom should be equally as good and we might try to squeeze in another ride before it gets to late in the year.

[evil jose]

we didn't pass the school bus. We pulled over and he kept on truckin.

Hell I thought pacerunner44 was gonna get nailed by the bus when he cut in front of it.

great pics jose. i am glad you guys completed your ride with no one going down and no lawdog stories. i might be able to make the next ride, but it would mean trailering my bike up to dfw then riding with you guys. anyone willing to put a fellow up for the night ? glad you guys made it back ok...

Why would you need to trailer the bike down???? I doubt I could help with putting you up for the night as I would be getting in late Friday from Boston.

I'm down with that! BIKER BOYZ!!!!! LOL! Seriously though, I think it's great that we are going these roadtrips. I tried to hook up with another group of riders but it was to complicated. They wanted to "meet me" on one of there rides before I could even register as a member on the board. Just didn't feel right. I wanted to get to know these guys before going out riding with them. Oh well, I think what we have here is better ;)

As far as gas, don't sweat it. The trip was a lot shorter that I thought it would be and the Supercrew used a little less than half a tank of gas so it wasn't bad at all.

ELVIS, awesome bike man. I love the look plus the sound of the V-Twin through those Yosh cans. Very unique!

[perezsteveo]

I had a great time as well!!! It was great meeting all of you!! Cant wait untill the next one :D

Ya sorry Jose forgot to give you cash...I got $5 for ya next time I see you...

[perezsteveo]

Jose you think you can post up that link for the helmet parts??? Thanks

[evil jose]

Done.

[QUOTE=evil jose]Hell I thought pacerunner44 was gonna get nailed by the bus when he cut in front of it.

Yea, didn't realize we were stopping until I passed the bus. Oh well, made it out alive. :) Best part of the ride was passing that big group of hawgs. They shouldn't have tried to cut us off and I think we pissed them off since there was no way they were going to catch up with us. :D Look forward to riding with you guys again.

[88hatch5_0]

Damn, yall suck!! That looks like fun, I wish you guys would do that on a Sunday so I can go. Oh well maybe you guys can have a mini trip on a Sunday!!

[Thomas99GT]

I wonder what those harley guys were thinking when I flew by them at 150 :D One of em was cheering us on lol

[Monsoon X]

Be careful with Adam, Bottlerocket. He'll argue into submission over two dollars!

actually, i'm more proud of refraining from hurting that little cocksucker, but that's fine, you didn't see that part, too busy wishing you had blue pants.

[Monsoon X]

You're just mad that your "plumber's crack" was showing on the ride. Better get a longer jacket. :p

Cool pic. Jose. Next time, have someone in the truck video tape. ;)

Well I had my cousin driving my truck and another buddy of mine was going to come along and take some pictures but he backed out at the last second :( He did take a few pictures but they didn't come out very well... very blurry :( He didn't know about the long shutter time so as soon as he snapped the picture he moved the camera and it made most of his pictures blurry :(

Your more than welcome to tag along next time and take pictures ;)

[ThreeFingerPete]

You're just mad that your "plumber's crack" was showing on the ride. Better get a longer jacket. :p


find me one, and i will.

if you'll notice, i TRIED to keep from being obscene, but being a tall guy, it's a hard life.

[evil jose]

I hope you showed the old lady that kept trying to go around you the "plumbers crack" :D

[ThreeFingerPete]

nah, but i showed her plenty of brake light.

[evil jose]

nah, but i showed her plenty of brake light.

That actually sounds like a very dangerous thing to do. But hey, it's your life...

[ThreeFingerPete]

not hard on the brakes, just enough to light it up.

[evil jose]

not hard on the brakes, just enough to light it up.

I can hear all kinds of excuses from the old lady to the local police if she accidentally ran you over. Again, probably better to keep a cool head rather than riding with a hot one.

[ThreeFingerPete]

i'm telling you, i wasn't braking, i was just lighting up the light.

damn jose, i thought you knew me.

[pacerunner44]

i'm telling you, i wasn't braking, i was just lighting up the light.

damn jose, i thought you knew me.

That lady was on your a**. I only saw your brake light 1-2 times. Just looked like you were doing the speedlimit and she didn't want to give you any space. We should have all surrounded her. I'd like to see the look on her face, but she might have run us all over. :eek:

[evil jose]

OK, let me rephrase that. HarrASSing a cager.

Hehe... I can see that old lady wiping out several of us rather quickly. "They were attacking me!!!"

[ThreeFingerPete]

LOL!

bitch coulda just started swerving and the bodies would've started flying.


i thought the brake light was on when she kept jumping out to the side.

[evil jose]

Never know what those crazy old bitches will do :eek:

[ThreeFingerPete]

that's fine, i'm sure she has insurance.

[evil jose]

that's fine, i'm sure she has insurance.

I'm sure it wouldn't be worth it going down and wearing blue jeans.

[Shaithis]

Just next time wrap yourself up in bubble wrap. You'll be fine. ;)

[pacerunner44]

Hehe... I can see that old lady wiping out several of us rather quickly. "They were attacking me!!!"

She'd say, "I thought they were going to gang rape me." Lol.

[ThreeFingerPete]

I'm sure it wouldn't be worth it going down and wearing blue jeans.

you'd be surprised how much pain and suffering will get you.

[FastFord19]

I was thinking "WTF is this Lady doing?". stupid bitch

[Shaithis]

i never did see what you all are talking about. When exactly was this?

[FastFord19]

goin down that one road :) it was on the way back, thats all i remember. half the group or more then half passed her up, then adam did. And some of us were still stuck. Then she finally exited off.

[ELVIS]

LOL!

bitch coulda just started swerving and the bodies would've started flying.

theres no way i was the only one riding with a heater on saturday. the trunk space on the tiller is huge. ;)

piece/heater/gat/pistola/lead spitter/attitude adjuster. thats all i could think of.

[Monsoon X]

Horrible. Couldn't see crap. I used the peripheral light from a car way in front of me in the next lane, to scan for oncoming road kill or tires.

Seriously? You were cold that night? Felt great in mine, but I can't remember if you had on a leather or mesh jacket.

I should have offered this JC but you took off so fast. You could have just rode behind us or my truck and followed us up 67 and let us clear the traffic for you. You should seriously think about buying some sun glasses and just wearing a clear shield unless you know for certain that you will be back before dark. I actually like riding that way better as I can open my shield at low speeds and still have reasonable eye protection from debris and bugs.

[staticX]

I must not have a problem with my tinted shield at night, I can see just fine and its a dark tint. :cool:

[ThreeFingerPete]

that's how i do it, or used to, but i lost my shades on the outing before last.

[ThreeFingerPete]

try a regular shield, and see how much different it is.

I have some and that's how I usually roll when I wear the clear shield and I know for a fact that I'm coming back at night.

I guess I really didn't expect to be gone all day, Saturday.

[Frogger]

Nope nn break between reg and playoffs. We are in the home stretch though. One more game to go before we make it to the SuperBowl in Long Beach. Then I can take a break and relax a bit.

Karen

I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures ;) Hehehe... Well I know it's probably no comfort to you but our second trip will be in a few weeks. Is there any break between regular season and post season?
