That's why I took the picture of your back !!... Plus, I was already having issues with my camera Next time, I'll be hitting the food line first, then go to the store !! lots of Folks sat to eat, and never got up...guess they wanted a good seat for the auction ?

 

When did you take that photo with a bunch of empty tables and chairs? When I got there, the tables and chairs were all filled up (and the live band was taking a break).

It was a great ride! Some of the complaints you have comes from being in such a large group with a wide variety of riding experience. I had a rider that this was his 2nd group ride by me - he was a bit timid keeping things tight, understandably so.

We started in the 1st group out of Houston and ended up in the 3rd group leaving exit 619 - same issue being in the right lane. SA was hairy with the traffic.

Overall - getting 600 bikes that far without any incidents other than 3 flats - HoooAhhhh!!!

We stayed overnight, went to the river walk and then busted home trying to beat the rain. Got a few sprinkles but nothing bad.

btw... the pic with the blow up doll - that belongs to a friend of ours. LOL Gave it to her on thier 34th wedding anniv ride we took to Big Bend last month. Marion is his name. She rode with Marion to Presidio, to Terlinqua, through border patrol and back to Alpine! ROFL

 

Only 3 flats ...pretty d@mn impressive..... While you were on the River Walk, did you see the New Exotic Dancers ? Marion was parked near me at 619. Me and the missuz were north bound on 183 as one of the Houston groups ( I'm guessing the first one 9:15am) was pulling into Buc ees.


Teagan...are you pointing at the small piece of Bald head, or the guy in the black tee shirt ?

 

I'm guessing I was in the second group to arrive. The line to the store was short, and they were just wrapping up getting ready to serve lunch.....I took that probably 10 to 15 min before the band took their break. I think I was in the food line closest to the rest rooms, when they went on break. I was behind the guy from Paris,Tx who had the V-8 trike in your pics.

 

The group I went with made a point of getting to the registration early. All just to be the first bikes to get to the park and to be the first people in the food line.

 

That would be the second group.
I was about a dozen or so bikes ahead of that trike.
