What was equally impressive was the fact that even though that 180 Dunlop was fryin, he was pulling away from us like a friggin bottle rocket!!
I guess he was anxious to get to the General Store in Hunt for lunch!!!
Geez, good times!!!
See ya again soon, until then, ride safe.

Man, I forgot about that! Mud left a helluva stripe on Grapetown Road when he twisted that right hand!

He did the same thing one morning in Blanco after we turned left at the light onto the road to Luckenbach. He was leaned over a bit making the turn so that particular stripe had an 'S' shape to it. I clearly saw both sides of the MudGlide within 2 seconds! That was the first time he rode with the OFW gang.

I think I need to get myself one of those frame-mounted video cameras!

Yeah, that sounds good!
But get one with an automatic adjusting telephoto lense........'cause one second he's just in front of us and the next...... waaaaay out in front!!
If there is a hill or a curve ahead...........forget it, he's gone, next county!!
He'll usually be at the destination waiting on the the rest of the "*******" and OF's, and getting a few shots of us cruising in!!!!
Do I LIE????
See ya'll

Well it sounds and looks like I miss a hell of a good time last Sunday. I'll be heading out Friday morning for deep east Tejas by way of 79 east. Will be taking 130 around A-town to Taylor and on to Rockdale for gas and a smoke. Them it's off down 79 to Hearne and on to the big town of Buffalo, for a coke and a smoke. After that it's on to Palestine,Jacksonville,Herderson,Tatum and then Lake Cherokee. Y'all have a great weekend and we'll catch y'all soon. Unitl them...twist that throttle and roll!

Ask Mud to show you what really comes out of the crankcase after a good ride.
You'll be surprised.

My interjet has been screwed up since Sunday morning.

For the most part it was a great day riding.

when I went back for my camera,
a kid on a Suzuki passed me on the rear wheel.
had a look at my speedo. it said about 85.
he kept it unicycle for another half mile.

I got some real good snapshots in Luckenback.
I'll post them later and some other comments................

..............here's the blow off from the crankcase..................

That is one bad road glide in asthetics and performance and you handle it well too.

........like I said, usually sitting at the destination waiting to get pictures of the OFW's riding in.
Great pictures Mud!!
One of these days, I need to ride on ahead (yeah right, like THAT's going to happen!!) and get a few pics of you riding in.....if you'll show me how to operate that Photo Taking Masterpiece!!

Oh yeah, that's a wicked pic of Star B standing behind the Mud Glide!

Mike, I would love to make a ride, but I got (quite literally) bribed and conned into attending a wedding in Corpus Christi this weekend. I don't think we'll be back in SA until noon on Sunday.

And those are fantastic pictures you and MUD took. FYI - shortly after the third (from the left) picture Mike took, he had both hands off the bars and was working the camera. Good Times!
