I managed to get in some miles this past weekend but I missed riding with you guys Sunday.

Had a friend and his wife out for the weekend and we rode 150 miles Friday afternoon, 325 miles Saturday (Three Sisters) and rode a couple of hours (8-10) Sunday morning. Then had to pick up 3 more friends at 11:30am flying a Cessna into the Bulverde air strip from Houston. Threw some steaks on the grill for lunch and we spent the afternoon watching football and BSing. They headed back to Houston around 6:30pm.

Hope I get to catch all you OFW on the next run.

Big Red

 

Well, I did get out for a while on Sunday, had to meet my Brother and his family at Coopers BBQ in New Braunfels to sign some Legal papers. They live in Bulverde and His Attorney was from Austin and met them there around lunchtime for all of us to have a reasonable meeting spot.

After the paperwork and some great BBQ, I rode with a couple of other "occasional" OF&W's (that met me there) Roland, Tim, Frank and Rick and we rode up to Wimberly, Fisher, Dripping Springs ect on some roads I have never been on before.......it was different, sure did seem to take a loooooong time.
(I could have sworn that I saw a sign...... Tulsa - 35 miles!!!!)

Anyway, I took Elvira out for a spell to stretch her legs and break her in some.
If you guy's have never ridden a Road Glide, give one a shot sometime.
......I LIKE IT......A LOT!!
(I think Big Red is on to something).
This ain't your fathers Geezer Glide (although I just got 2 years closer to "Geezer" when I turned 58 last Saturday).
Now I guess I gotta find me a rifle scabbard to hang on the bike for a place to put my cane!!

I'll catch up with all you guyz and galz......... hopefully next Sunday?
Until then, ride safe you OF's & W's!!!!!!!!!

 

Those are awesome pix! That Moto Guzzi is kick-***! I always wanted one for taking road trips when I was a pup. I love that cafe fairing! I had a 1974 Kawasaki 500 H1 at the time. I had upgraded Mikuni carbs and Bassani expansion chambers on it. That bike would scream, but it sucked on any ride over 200 miles.

I had a blast on Sunday. I am getting that chicken-fried burger when we go to Los Dos Amigos again. PD is right, we should make a ride up north around Marble Falls, maybe to Inks State Park for an overnighter. I heard it is beautiful up there.

 

Hey guys had a great ride on Sunday, nice to get out and ride a little just for fun. Just a heads up for anyone interested looks like me and a couple of friends will make a one day tripper down to Galveston for the LSR on Friday the 5th. will probaly leave the FM 78/46/I-10 area (Seguin) about 0800 or so and heading to G-town via the back roads Gonzales-shiner-bay city-freeport and acroos the San Felipo bridge onto Galveston Island from the west end. Grap some lunch (my vote is for the Spot and then spend a few hours checking out the scene and vendors. Than head on back around 1800-200 with the return to be decided than backroad vs. Interstate. Give me a holler if interisted and I will post up any changes as they come up. As in any fine military plan this is a living dynamic plan subject to change.

 

A friend of mine built a Ultima chopper for a customer. Ask me if I could fab a dash for it. Here are the results. Need to be powered coated or chromed. But I like the finished product. Already thinking of a few improvments on the next one.

 

Nice Job Mike.

 

Sure is quiet around here.....

 

Y'all have a great weekend, the weather is looking killer................next stop Galveston. Hell Yeah...........Lone Star Rally time, going to meet up with a few folks at the Spot on Friday. Heading on down 71 to meet up with a few riders on the other forum at Columbus, and it's on!

 

I had to come back and read this again. I can't do it tomorrow, might could have pulled off a Saturday. Yall have fun and be safe. Take plenty of pics to post, so I can really feel bad about not going.

 

You guys have a great time! I wish I could have made the trip this year (after convincing the better half to go). Maybe next year.

Just got in from Virginia and looking forward to a little rest this weekend. Forgot - you guys ride safe!
