VFRinAustin: what's this about a Duc?!?

[aggie81]

Count me in. That's my last day of vacation, and a big hunk of pecan pie should offset the deleterious effects of the cruise buffets from the previous week. -Steve

Dang, where did I put that Lipitor?

[JLG]

I'm in. Missed last couple and look forward to getting back to these.

Ok, now thats the kinda talk thats going to get me looking for my, er, as the English would say, Bum, because it got chewed off by an irate SO that came home from 7 mths in the UK to find a new bike in the garage.

No Hypermotard yet, but Ellen and I are going to have a serious talk about it when she gets home. I am going try and get a test ride this weekend.

[pacman]

Anybody in the DFW area want to get an early start Saturday morning and put in a few miles?

I have the whole day and would love to blow the cooler part of it doing some exploring out west of the metromess.

[zombierider]

I'm in and if we can get someone to watch the girls then my wife will be with me.

[wildebube]

Count me in.

[Tightwad]

Wife out of town...with the Kids....CHECK
Bike needing riden.....CHECK

Count me in, unless the trip to Albuquerque and back doesn't go as planned. I would be up for some morning riding with other DFW folks....I would be coming from the Frisco area.

I'll give them a call this afternoon.

Why the heck not?
Set it up and I'm in.

[Ace Wingnut]

Count me in for this one.

Alrighty then. Calling all DFW peeps. Let's meet up in SW Ft Worth at the Starbuck$ on Bryant Irvin Rd. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=4849+Bryant+Irvin+Rd+fort+worth+tx&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.160552,82.265625&ie=UTF8&ll=32.679118,-97.415106&spn=0.008597,0.020084&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1) I'll be there at 7:30, and will plan on stands up at 8:00.

I'll put together a 3 hour tour out in the Parker/Palo Pinto Co. region. Think we can make it all the way to Possum Kingdom with enough time to get back to Ponder? I'm thinking it would be real tight, but I'll look into it. I haven't been out there since I was a little tyke.

[dword]

the last pie run ended up being 1080 mile round trip.. this one is looking like maybe 180?? I don't know.. it sounds so.. boring... I mean where would you go explore up there.. go play in the red river? I guess if I planned a trip going around the metro area like maybe thru OK then it would do... so yea, count me in..

[pacman]

Ok, after a little perusing, PK is out of the question unless we hit the road at about 6am. That's a little earlier than I'm interested in. I'm looking at a route of about 110 miles up there. I'm still tweaking it a little but, so I'll post it up later this evening.

Dword, I know our route pales in comparison to your last Pie Run, but you're welcome to join us in SW Fort Worth. :thumb:

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

vfer: You rock! Thanks for contacting them!

[pacman]

See my next post for route.

Again, I'll be at the Starbuck$ on Bryant Irvin Rd (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=4849+Bryant+Irvin+Rd+fort+worth+tx&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.160552,82.265625&ie=UTF8&ll=32.679118,-97.415106&spn=0.008597,0.020084&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1) at 7:30am. KSU @ 8:00am. See you there! :rider:

[Ace Wingnut]

OK, here's a proposed route from southwest FW, out towards Mineral Wells, and then back over to Ponder

http://tinyurl.com/2heuet
I probably have either a faulty brain or a faulty computer, but all I get from this link is a big ol' map of the whole US. Even zooming way in, I don't see a route. What's my problem? (Be nice.)

[pacman]

No brainfart. The link is bad. :doh:

Pacman1 - looks like a good route - takes me about an hour to get down there - hopefully I'll remember to set the alarm clock on a Sat :mrgreen:

L & V, do you think you can find it? Will the bike have a chance to warm up?

I suspect that you may have visited this restaurant before...

Wayne, put me down as a maybe. I am still deciding if I want to go to the KLR tech day in the AM or go ride with you all. I may just go ride with you guys and then hit the tech day after lunch. That way it's the best of both worlds.

Dude, that rocks! I didn't know you were back on two wheels already.

[pacman]

All you GPS freaks may want to hold off on plugging my route in. I'm still fine tuning it just a bit.

I'll probably ride through Anetta (North and South) on FM5, which my original map doesn't include. There was some construction on that road about a month ago, but I'm hoping it's finished. Anybody know? It's a nice stretch of road, so it would be nice if it's finished.

The only other possible change would be to continue west on 1885 and 52 all the way to Whitt, and then head back toward the east on 2891. That would put us at about 130 miles for the route inbound to Justin. I guess we could keep that as a alternate, time permitting.

I'm liking the sounds of these changes, so here it is, an updated map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=4849+Bryant+Irvin+Rd,+Fort+Worth,+TX+76132&daddr=Winscott+Rd+%4032.667600,+-97.473700+to:US-377+S+%4032.624250,+-97.524670+to:32.686198,-97.68425+to:E+Lake+Dr+%4032.769460,+-97.671900+to:N+Lake+Dr+%4032.826990,+-97.715750+to:Friendship+Rd+%4032.850310,+-97.753230+to:Zion+Hill+Rd+%4032.859750,+-97.823080+to:Harwell+Lake+Rd+%4032.866480,+-97.867410+to:N+FM-52+%4032.954560,+-98.015200+to:Erwin+Rd+%4032.969650,+-97.854940+to:Erwin+Rd+%4032.959230,+-97.794720+to:Sarra+Ln+%4032.924950,+-97.771440+to:Ponder+Tx&mrcr=2,3&mrsp=3&sz=11&mra=dpe&dirflg=h&sll=32.748013,-97.738495&sspn=0.423312,0.6427&ie=UTF8&ll=32.886507,-97.612152&spn=0.845299,1.2854&z=10&om=1).

[dword]

Freaks? Did he just call me a freak.. why am downright offended. I'll have you know I'm not a freak. Just because I sometimes plot my way home from work to see which way is closer and play with it while in route to just about anywhere. That don't make me a freak, it makes me a.. . . uh.. uh... duh.. .. well I'm not sure what to call it, but I'm not a freak!! :twisted:

[Gilk51]

Dude, that rocks! I didn't know you were back on two wheels already.

As of Tuesday night - you need to read the Tarrant County stuff! :-P

[sharkey]

I had a problem pulling up the route but what do I care, I'm only following.
I'll go where ever at least until I run out of gas.

Unless something comes up, I'll see you at the Starbucks at 7:30am. I'll need body fuel before we ride at 8am but will try to stay away from the coffee unless someone who rides has a small tank and we stop for fuel early.

[pacman]

What, you want me bring my bad M&G mojo on up to TC as well?

[Gilk51]

I don't think that your "powers" go across the county line... :-P

And don't have to show up - you just have to READ about it...

In that case you're doomed already. :lol2:

[DFW_Warrior]

Dude, that rocks! I didn't know you were back on two wheels already.

Yep, Tuesday was my first time back on two wheels. Then I went for a little ride during the evening on Wed. and rode to work on Thursday. And now...... yep... it's raining again.:-(

But I should be fairly healthy for your ride out to the pie run.:-P

Any idea of the time?

Vicky

[Gilk51]

Any idea of the time?

The usual time is 11:00 AM to try to avoid the lunch rush and some of the heat in the summertime.

Hope to see you there!

11am?!!!!!!

Let me see, I guess that means I am getting up real early or i might have to bend a few state mandated velocity requriements to get there on time. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[WhtKnight]

We are possibly in on this one too. Was doing the reading, looks like alot of fun and some good riding before and after. Will see if we can get up early enough for the "pre" riding also.

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[BIG A]

may be able to make my first pie run, am buying a bike in plano on saturday morning at 10 so may be a little late, but the food and pie sound good, and it will give me a few more miles on my new bike, a 05 gs1200:rider:

[zombierider]

ok update me my wife and 3 friends

[vfer]

Ranchman's does baked potatoes by reservations.When I told the guy we were coming he said he would hold 10 for us.Being that it is lunch,I didn't think we would probably do that many,but we are hitting 40 people now,we might need to get a count.

[dword]

let me get my shoes off..

Go ahead and scratch me off the list for this one. Too many miles in too little time (wasn't able to get Friday night off).

I'm sure I'll catch y'all at another one.

[TexasShadow]

Youse been whacked. :mrgreen:that explains why I've been feeling so wacky lately :doh:

You coming up?

[Gilk51]

Hey, wasn't I on the 'definate' list?? I disappeared! :eek2:
:tears:

So why are you not going to make this one? ;-)

[TexasShadow]

So why are you not going to make this one? ;-) I yam!! Are you kidding? Ponder is my fav place to get away, ride, eat and read :) Can even hunt for dead aliens on the way home :trust:

I'll be at the KLR tech day before and after. The two are close enough it'll be a ~20 min ride.

[kurt]

that explains why I've been feeling so wacky lately :doh:

You coming up?

Not this time.

[Gilk51]

I yam!!

Yeah right - you are not even on the list... :-P

[TexasShadow]

Not this time. :(

Yeah right - you are not even on the list... :-P
I was :ponder:

If I didn't wander
on Saturday to Ponder
everyone would wonder
why I made such a blunder!

[RosscoB]

Put me down as a maybe. I'm moving that weekend so it will take a miracle.

What time are you leaving? 7:00am or so?

I have myself and two others definitely going possibly a third as well. Maybe we can run together on your route if the my guys are up to it. We are starting off from Plano East Senior High.

We are going on a 350 miler on Friday (Bowie - Sherman - Paris - Emory - Plano). So we may want the quickest way to Ponder. I will have to ask if they want more fun! I know I do!

[Tracker]

probably leave 07:45-08:00. Route shows sub 3 hrs. Don't care to get there too early.

[Gilk51]

Not this time.

Nope, I do not have a large object to strap onto the bike to bring you this time (like the last 2 times). I'll miss the August one due to a prior commitment. What do I need to bring you in September? :lol2:

[zombierider]

I called Ranchman's here are the pie's that they've have:
chocolate meringue
Coconut meringue
Apple
Butter
Peacon

[TexasShadow]

They also have cobbler and ice cream.

Nope, I do not have a large object to strap onto the bike to bring you this time (like the last 2 times). I'll miss the August one due to a prior commitment. What do I need to bring you in September? :lol2:

Pity. I still have room. :mrgreen:

brand new to this forum but would love to make this ride put me down as a maybe.. would like to meet up for the morning ride at starbucks before.. but I would be the guy with the small gas tank there

[ABYSS]

I am a noob as well and I am going to try and be there.

I wont be able to do the pre-pie ride this time though.

Hey AggieC05 I may have to challange you on the small tank claim

I would really love to come to the pie run, can you put me down as a maybe +2. Everyone needs help moving this time of year and i have a truck...but motorcycles and pie are a lot more fun than moving!!

Oh yeah, I don't think the Doc knows about it yet, but I'm actually feeling really good on the bike now. Plus it's soooo much cheaper than that big Dodge truck!!

You need one of those bumper stickers: "Yes, it's my truck and No! I won't help you move!" :zen:

Let them have the truck & go jump on the bike!

Cool!

I'm going to do my best to be there.

[AggieC05]

Hey AggieC05 I may have to challange you on the small tank claim

Its not that the tank is so small. Technically its a 3.4 gallon tank, unfortunately I am missing the little plastic straw like thing on my petcock so it doesn't feed all the gas from the right side of the tank first. I also do not have a reserve due to that as well. So I have found I can use about 2.2 gallons before the bike dies. So I typically take it no more than 80 miles without a stop to make sure it doesn't leave me stranded.

Wayne,

I have to stay on the maybe list for now. As of now, I plan on being there. I'm playing in a vball tourney right there @ LMRA Sat afternoon. Really, really want to go, but not sure if I'm up for 5 hours riding and a vball tourney.

I'm in, barring unforseen events. Only 37.2 miles, including the out-and-back to the KLR tech day.

Weather forecast:

Friday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 7pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 74. Southeast wind between 5 and 10 mph.

Saturday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 92. Southeast wind around 5 mph.

Saturday looks like a beautiful morning for a ride.

OK tank size we are identical but you are the winner with the missing part changing your useable. But heck I only get around 100 MPT with all 3.4 gallons. On 2.2 I would be lucky to see 70-75

I would also like to take a moment and thank you Quick-Silver for the warm welcome to TWETX! Do you feel better now? Ya know if you would have pm'd me and expressed your concern. I probably would have been receptive and maybe even deleted my OFF TOPIC replys. Instead you chose to singled me out in the forum, may I inquire as to why?

Quite honestly it has about as much as all the other things that are "Off topic" like Moving, trucks, Delivering things to friends,the pre-pie ride,peoples health .....

Did you realize you are doing exactally what you pointed out I was doing.

Sorry, I didnt know I was doing something that out of the ordinary.

I am a very straight forward person and can take it form the best of them and have. Quick-silver does not have the ability to ever make me worry in any way, shape or form or fashion.

Just curious as to why he singled me out instead of making a general comment for pie list preservation. LONG LIVE THE PIE !!!

I will address that in private from this point forward with him.

My KRS went down a couple of weeks ago with a fueling problem, my Sprint is in need of its 12K service. I'm now tryin' to get a new rear tire and maybe do the valve adjustment for Cameron's Ninja 500 before Saturday. So I'm comin' in on a wing and a prayer :lol2:

David, I am truly sorry you were offened by my remark. I was just razzing you a little. Try not to take anything I say on this board as personal.

You may rest assured I will never respond again to anything you post on this board.

[DFW_Warrior]

Okay, okay, now you two get along!!!!:giveup:

David, I've met Jerry before and trust me his signature line describes him to a T. I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it. When I was new to these forums I would have a tenancy to take everything as serious as well, but I learned quickly that I needed to go in the opposite direction. I think by far there are more things said in jest on this site in one day then serious things said all year. It's just how the folks on here are.

This is a great light hearted board where people are never afraid to give someone a little light ribbing. And before anyone can say a word, yes, my bike likes to knock off Ducati mirrors, fall down in creeks, mud holes and high side in Arkansas. There I think I covered it all now....:lol2:

Can't we all just get along?:rider:

I have nothing against Jerry or anyone else for that matter, And no Jerry you didnt offend me.

I can handle ribbing from someone I know or have at least met.

However when someone I have never spoken with or corrosponded to starts in on me I lock it down one way or another.

All is well

Bring on the PIE!! :eat:

Speaking of PIE, does this little place know how many are coming ?

RoadHawk: there are no reservations for these events. It's just an excuse to ride somewhere, get rewarded with pie, meet lots of like minded folks, then ride some more. The sign up list is simply a way to keep an approximate head count so we can warn, I mean, notify the restaurant of the number of folks coming. This is all in your best interest by ensuring that there will be enough pie to go around. :trust:

1. Nope, I won't be making it to this one. Too far and I've got to work until 11pm tonight. Y'all have fun though!

2. Yes, I like keys. I like 'em cuz they start bikes - and I reaaaaaly like bikes. I like to take any opportunity available to ride any/every bike there is to ride. Some remind me what I am missing in my own garage and some remind me what a good thing I have back home. I joked at bike night that I'd want to be buried with everyone's bike keys so I could have some fun putting on the miles in the afterlife... :rider:

Same here and a shame to ride just 30 miles for pie, I may meet you on your loop somewhere, might do the St. Jo thing if time allows.

[VFRinAustin]

Well, you better change me to a maybe. I will be setting out early in the morning but depending on the weather I might not make it all the way. Need to be able to make sure I can get back tomorrw night, and 600+ miles potentially wet might be a little diheartening.

Hope to see yall but enjoy the pie if I dnot make it (like that needs to be said)

Yeah, I'm familiar with 407 too and you definitely need to take it easy west of 35 due to the surface. Thanks for the post Larry!

There are hardly any corners between 377 and 35W.They fixed the corners between 35W and 156.Its between 156 and 287 you better watch out.

[Gilk51]

Its between 156 and 287 you better watch out.

If I remember correctly, that's the direction that the pacman crew will be coming from - Wayne, please take note... :giveup:

Also, if anyone is coming from the KLR Tech Day, they will be riding on that section of 407 (all roads lead to Rhome). And, yes. the KLRs should probably stay on the road... :lol2:

Have fun but be careful, folks!

Duly noted. I may just skip that section and jump onto 114 over to 156.

Thanks for the heads up, guys. :thumb:
