Pending the weather forecast - Wife & I are in!:rider:

[kurt]

Probable, unless I'm moving.

[Beemer Steve]

we will be there

[connick]

The lady and I might be in. Is it OK if I try and set up a ride with our local riding group and we all swing by?

[kurt]

The lady and I might be in. Is it OK if I try and set up a ride with our local riding group and we all swing by?

Absolutely fine.

[Gilk51]

The lady and I might be in. Is it OK if I try and set up a ride with our local riding group and we all swing by?

Absolutely fine.

A head's up on how many would be good to know. Other than that, bring 'em out.

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

maybe, maybe not. i hope so. but not sure. could be, but i dont know. no reason why not, but you never know. i want to go, but things happen. :rider: , :doh: you know what i mean?

[Maverick]

Sorry, won't be attending. I will be at the State B.A.C.A. meeting that weekend. Have fun and be safe all.

[stcalder]

like james said pending the forcast ill be there. i might be bringing a few extras along. will let you know how many.

[Graubart]

I'm in! :eat:

[Dirtrideroader]

Probable, unless I'm moving.

Do you need me to ride your 800GS there for you if you are moving? No reason both of you should have to miss it.
Says the man with the Aircast...

[jbh]

I am in.

[Squidward]

I'm gonna say probable until I get confirmation from Kim.

[terrebandit]

I'm probable Chuck

[JKDGabe]

Probable. It's a long way to go just for pie... I'll try though.

[JacknTexas]

Tina and I are maybe's.

[Simmons1]

I'm in!

[trl5791]

Im in given the botttom does not fall out the weather.

[P-Ratt]

Thinking about it.

[Squidward]

Kim and I are in.

[taminator]

Add Taminator and 10-95 to the probable category please!

[Gilk51]

list upated (see post #1)

-------

Count: def/prob: 6+13 (19), maybe: 4

[CaroleAnn]

I'm a possible depending on all things!


Edit: Well all things possible make this not possible. Sorry I have to miss it, I was really wanting to go to the Koffee Kup.

Edit (again): I watch to see if you update the list before I change my mind again, Chuck. Keep me as a possible and I'll know for sure closer to the date!

:giveup:

[Tracker]

[Soozy]

I am in.

[Sleepy Weasel]

Re: "Hico! Hico! It's off for Pie we go!"

You're such a nerd, Chuck.
:lol2:


I'm not saying whether I'm going or not, because every time I say I'm going, something keeps me from going.

[Prothos]

Thinking about it

[DFW_Warrior]

I guess you can stick me down for a maybe on this one. As long as I don't break myself down at Big Bend, I'll try to make it.

[Kidder]

I will be unable to attend.

I'll be in Alaska on a business trip. Brrrr

[StromDude]

I'm planning on it....Bill

[Blueburg]

You can put me down as a most probable. It will be my first pie run. I've been to the Koffee Kup but have never had pie there. Really poor weather could put me out. Anyone else in the San Antonio area want to run up 281 with me?

[shootergal]

Sorry, won't be attending. I will be at the State B.A.C.A. meeting that weekend. Have fun and be safe all.

me too!
Thanx Chuck....have some blueberry/banana pie for me! (it's the BEST!):eat:

[HoopleHead]

I'm in unless it's wet or bitter cold. I'll be leaving Utopia at 6:30am to meet BlueBurg in Pipe Creek at 7:20 and then hook up with Pooh and others?? near Bulverde at 8:30. Save me a slice of pecan pie if we're a few minutes late.

This will be the longest day of riding for me in a very long time... hope my 68-yo beehynde can handle it!

[wbrisett]

Put me down as a probable. (very likely)

Also mark me as +2 (with Wife and child -- assuming she doesn't get Saturday detention like last month!)...

[10-95]

Add Taminator and 10-95 to the probable category please!


Add us to the definite list. Found a neat B&B around Cherokee to stay that night.

[DFW_Warrior]

me too!
Thanx Chuck....have some blueberry/banana pie for me! (it's the BEST!):eat:

This???? (http://www.bostoncabaret.com/) Have fun, I would have never pegged you two for music lovers.:ponder:

[AustinMike]

I'm gonna try to make it. I could use a ride for fun. Too much work, work, work lately!

[$hooter]

I'm in...unless its WET...dont do wet by choice. Also working on several others, but put me down as absoultely, aint a-gonna miss it, gots to have me more pie.

Also on Saturday, March 14, 2009 is the Rattlesnake Roundup in Sweetwater, Texas.

[FWRex]

I'm in, Chuck. John, you leading the ride down there?:mrgreen:

[Pooh Bear]

Blueberg twisted my arm! Pooh Bear will attend with her new toy!

[Maverick]

This???? (http://www.bostoncabaret.com/) Have fun, I would have never pegged you two for music lovers.:ponder:

it's an acquired taste. :rofl:

but listening to Disturbed, Metallica and Megadeth at the moment, might go for something a little more intense when I start doing some work in a bit.

Besides, it's not always the music you hear but what moves your heart.

[shootergal]

This???? (http://www.bostoncabaret.com/) Have fun, I would have never pegged you two for music lovers.:ponder:

WHOA! Totally fell for that one Warrior! Cabaret Music! :doh: NO!! PLEEEEEZE!!! (& Mav likes Disturbed, but I'm kinda hooked on Theory of A Dead Man right now.....SO not cabaret music!)

[Squidward]

I'm in, Chuck. John, you leading the ride down there?:mrgreen:

I actually could this time.....I have a map.:doh:

[FWRex]

I actually could this time.....I have a map.:doh:

Well, then, you've got my vote.:thumb: It was looking like a fun ride, last time, right up until the point where I lost sight of you.

Well, then, you've got my vote.:thumb: It was looking like a fun ride, last time, right up until the point where I lost sight of you.
The law has been laid down for this ride. :scott:

[igo-wfo]

I'm gonna tape my Garmin Vista to his faceshield.

Or should we just LoJack him? :ponder:

[Squeaky]

I actually could this time.....I have a map.:doh:

Yes, but do you have an aux fuel cell? :lol2:

[MCRyder]

Chuck, put me down as a probable. If the weather's good, it'd be a great day's ride!

[dukey33]

Sign me up.

[txtinman]

I'm a definite!

[piglet]

Chucky, do you think there will be anybody standing around shooting the bullon this ride. Cause I just don't know if I can eat pie without telling a few lies.:rofl:
Put me down as a definite maybe.:eat:

[drroccostein]

No pie for me, I will be in Chicago from 2/27~3/7/09 on business.

[Gilk51]

This???? (http://www.bostoncabaret.com/) Have fun, I would have never pegged you two for music lovers.:ponder:

In case someone does NOT know, BACA = Bikers Against Child Abuse :thumb:
(too bad they weren't around when Bill (DFWW) was a child ;-) )

Chucky, do you think there will be anybody standing around shooting the bullon this ride. Cause I just don't know if I can eat pie without telling a few lies.:rofl:

Don, a bunch of these folks will be from the DFW and Austin areas - now you KNOW that there will be lies flying like flies! :lol2:

Well it's been awhile to be on an official TWT pie run, but put me down as a definite. All of my golfing buddies have lost their jobs so Ill be riding alot more this year. Just added a M4 cf can so I'll ride in the back if we get a DFW scooter confoy going.

[HoopleHead]

Chuck, you can make me a fer sherr... I don't ride long distances in rain or freezing weather if I can help it, but I'm as definite as I can get.

[Dirtrideroader]

Not for me. I will still be in an aircast and Erin is taking a Dirtbike School riding course.

[ekms377]

Chuck....put me down for me +1 for sure.....maybe more later.

[shadow247]

As long as the weather holds I am there. I will be on my Shadow with my girlfriend, and my dad will most likely be on his V-Strom with his wife. So add 2 bikes to the definitely-maybe-reallywanttomakeit-haven'triddenintoolong list.

[pub610]

Chuck, add Ninjette and me to the list of maybes.

[davidl]

Chuck, Add 2 to the definite!!!!! Can't live without pie

[DFW_Warrior]

I guess you can stick me down for a maybe on this one. As long as I don't break myself down at Big Bend, I'll try to make it.

Yeah.... ummmmm... no comment. Lets just say that now I won't be making it.

Consider me shaved. I won't be making it. :(We were just talking about this while down in Big Bend....:lol2:

[M38A1]

Yeah.... ummmmm... no comment. Lets just say that now I won't be making it.

Ahhh crud. Spill the beans. Are YOU ok?

[DFW_Warrior]

For the most part, yes. I won't be on either the street bike, or dirt bike for a couple weeks. Long story short, dirt bike crash, leg got pinned between the ground and the Cycle Rack, and it squished my knee and thigh pretty good. Got back from the doc today and so far, it's all just a bunch of external swelling and bruising.

You can get more of the story here (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36912) if you want to.

[wildebube]

I'm a definite. I also have a definite for +1, probables for +2 and +3 and a maybe for +4. So that's anywhere from two to five of us.

[Squeaky]

We were just talking about this while down in Big Bend....:lol2:

Jamey is still in NM and I'd prefer to run sweep for Lilia then head out there alone. I don't need to ride out there just to prove something to you - I ride when/where/how I want. Laugh if you want - it says more about you than it does about me. :shrug:

[bung]

Me + 1

[Xdriver]

I'll make this one for sure. Anyone riding from the Mid Cities/Richland hills area in DFW?

[Chirpy]

Consider me shaved.

TMI!

Upgrade me to "Almost assuredly will most likely make it!"

[CaroleAnn]

You can move me from the 'possible' to the 'probable'.

[M38A1]

You can move me from the 'possible' to the 'probable'.

Cool.... Haven't seen you in a while. Glad to hear you're still around!

I think you need more smileys. :mrgreen:

list updated - see post #1 to see if I have gotten you pegged right when you said "most probably likely maybe as long as it doesn't..." :roll:

:mrgreen:

[Gilk51]

Oh, I will have "Project #2" with me and will try to make it available for folks to sign. I'll have a short description and also either I or Scott (M38A1) can 'splain what it is all about.

I had it with me in Conroe but was so overwhelmed at the turnout, I never got it laid out for signing. :doh:

Target delivery for Project #2 is June in Marble Falls if all the parties can be gathered.

Upgrade me to a definite Chuck. Weather looks good and my new Bandit is needing some mileage.

[pub610]

Chuck, make me a definite and Ninjette a probable. Weather looks good and my old FJR is needing some mileage.

[jar675]

Well I guess I should be put on the thinking about it list. I will be in the work truck I didn't bring a bike with me. It will be a long haul.

Like I said last month... nothing is definite.

Now you're just spelling it wrong on purpose, aren't ya? :lol2:
My guess is that he might stop by on his way back home from NM.
Close...

He'd be going from NM to Hico and then back to NM. I was going to meet him there just to have lunch with him but I don't think I can make it up there and back in a day. I've got a treatment rescheduled for Friday morning and it usually makes for a tired/non-alert weekend. :doh:

I will just have to play it by ear and see how I feel. :shrug:

[WoodButcher]

I'm a maybe. Trying to decide if I want to work this into a ride over the Regency Suspension bridge and make an epic day of it, or whether I should stay home and do stuff in the yard I didn't do when I was in Big Bend last weekend.

just stirring the pot...

[Squeaky]

Just go back to NM with him...
Thought about it. Depends on how I feel, since it makes for a MUCH longer ride home on Sunday on the notascomfyasaStrom FZ. ;-)

Huh? 324 from Eunice to Hico, and 257 from Sugarland to Hico. Were you using Stinky's math formulas again?:lol2:

[Squeaky]

Maybe I was calculating it without taking the freeway? :scratch:

[Squidward]

The forecast shows 25-30mph North winds with gusts up to 35mph for Saturday. If that's the case, Kim and I are going to probably just stay at the house. As much as I want to go, I don't feel the need to be miserable on the way there and back.

[WoodButcher]

Yep, local forecast here keeps showing the temp being a little lower each time I check and now they are saying windy. But it's only Thursday so I'll wait until late Friday to make the call for me.

[southplainssilver]

Please add me to definite list. First saturday off of work this year. I'm going to have some pie.

[RJ2]

Anybody going down from Denton County?

Haven't heard if any Dentoners were going yet - there usually is...

Yup....we'll be waiting to see if the forecast gets any better before we decide whether we'll be bailing or not for sure.

Bob,

We're not exactly leaving from the Denton area, but if you don't want to ride alone, you are welcome to make the run with me.

We're meeting at the "Rise and Dine Restaurant" on Beltline Rd in Addison. Show to eat about 7-7:15ish and we'll be gone by 8:30.

Look for the BMW RT's... My red 1150, a Graphite 1100, and a couple of 1200 RT's.

We're slabbing to Lake Worth, the back roads to Weatherford, Granbury, Chalk Mountain, Iredell, and on to Hico.

Here's the start spot...

Hate to drop out on you guys, but I have to do it. Too much cold headwind for too far... 68 years old and no windshield doesn't mix well with the weather. Plus a chance of some campers showing up, so I hope to see all of you next month.

Please ride safe and eat an extra slice for me.

[sparkyphotog]

Sorry, but 41 and 26 are not good numbers for me without a serious windscreen and I'm currently naked (the bike, the bike). I'm officially out.

Yeah, John and I are watching this part:

Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 54. Windy, with a north northwest wind between 20 and 30 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph.

[M38A1]

I'm in!

Cool! Both of you or solo?

Was it last year or the year before on this pie run ? with the big wind and blowing dirt across the road. My first experience with this kinda cross wind was on the return trip. Felt like a pillon rider was practicing line drives on the left side of my helmet with a Dallas telephone directory. I don't think the windshield helped much. Memory is still to vivid and I'm a wuss, but I will really miss not being there.

[L8RG8R]

I'm out! :sun:

[Squeaky]

I was there for the super-windy one, I was there for the freezing cold and west first one, and I was there for last year's super-hot one. Count me in for another "memorable" one! :rider:

[Gilk51]

I'm out! :sun:

But... you were a "definite". :-(

Ok, with all the changes in and out & new people adding - I am just throwing up my hands and not updating post #1. :giveup: No nametags except maybe some hand written ones.

If you are coming - do it & ride safely.
If you are staying home - enjoy the lack of extra calories.

I think the really windy day (gusts 50+ mph) was 2 years ago 'cause I got a picture (Squeaky's?) in the group "Everywhere in Texas" of the dusty road that Stinky claims he is in. :roll:

Yup. Last year was just hot (100+) with a big turnout.
The windy/dusty day had fires blowing smoke around also, and it was the day Becca (RB) ran out of gas. :lol2:

[connick]

Too windy for us; my group won't be making it. We'll try for another one. Have fun, all.

[jar675]

Probable








Or you can say I will be there!:mrgreen:

[L8RG8R]

Yeah sorry about that Chuck. With my leg still hurting and my bike only having had one 1 test ride since being rebuilt, I don't want to add cold and wind to the list things to think about and concentrate on. Now if I knew for sure that my bike was good and the leg was normal, I'd be in. :rider:

[sparkyphotog]

Cool! Both of you or solo?

Just me.

[ghostrider1964]

I am in. I heard a bunch is coming through Gatesville... Can we hook up there? This is my home turf...I work in Bosque/ Hamilton Counties so I know the area well...:giveup:

[ekms377]

We're out........:doh:

[Yeeha! Stephen]

You guys need a big fat BMW to plow through that wind for ya'?

I'm meeting my buds in Addison, but coming back through HEB, NRH, Haltom on my way to Lake Worth... :rider:

[Squidward]

We're out. I find no pleasure in fighting the wind on either of my bikes.

[Desertgirl]

I'll be there, probably the only one in a car!!! :lol2:

I'm hoping to make new friends and meet some generous souls who will allow me to drool over their bikes and test them out...I'm looking to buy one. ST style, like the BMWs the most, but wanna try a Triumph Tiger and Ducati. See my other thread posted in General, re looking to try out bikes.
See you all there.

[Squeaky]

Well, I know of at least one other person coming in a truck, so you're not alone. ;-)

Wind? Cold temps? Why is this stopping folks from riding for pie? I'll see you up there Stephen.

Yeeeehaaaaaa!!!! This is going to be a fun ride! :rider:

[Simmons1]

I'm out!:tears:

Got home from Friday Night Ice Cream at Burger Box and noticed a puddle of water in our front yard. Since it hasn't rained recently, that only means one thing, a broken pipe in the front yard.:eek2:

It appears to be the fresh water feed to the house since when I shut the water off the meter stopped spinning like a top. The plumber will be here tomorrow morning to find the leak and tell me how much it is going to cost to dig up the front yard.

[M38A1]

Hey Chuck----
I'm still in if that counts for anything. ;-)

[slowoldguy]

For those who venture down to the Gap via 1238 before or after pie, be mindful of the local constabulary. I received a "performance award" warning Sunday (Thank You, Thank You, oh Thank You ) and a mighty direct "We are watching this road. Closely." They'll forget about us soon enough, but right now is not a good time for spirited riding on THAT road.

Y'all have fun.

[Gilk51]

Hey Chuck----
I'm still in if that counts for anything. ;-)

:lol2: I hope so - I can't figure who's doing what on this one.
I'm still going, too. :rider: :eat: :rider:

[Squeaky]

And me too! You can even click on this link when you wake up to make sure I didn't oversleep and that I'm on the road already:

That's just because Mother Nature got her knickers in a bind and feels like talking it out on us again. It isn't really because of those rumors you heard...

[Beemer Steve]

We will be there like yeehaw says you need a big old beemer to push the wind

[terrebandit]

Had a tough day today. Not sure I want to fight a strong north wind tomorrow. It will be a last minute decision for me.

[Tracker]

I wish you all safe rides. Sorry, but my neck just isn't up to being jerked around by gusting wind like that.

[P-Ratt]

I'm feeling a bit ill tonight. I have 200 miles I have to go tomorrow afternoon, so I'm cutting out on the 400ish miles from the pie run in the morning. Hopefully the next one will have a better result.

It's True, It's True.... 6:15am and she's on the move!
See you there Squeaky!

[Gilk51]

It's True, It's True.... 6:15am and she's on the move!

Well, she's going the wrong way! :doh:

All she had to do was turn right on 6 and take it all the way to Hico! :eek2:
(of course, thru about 100 traffic light:yawn: ;-)

[voyagerrider]

Kathy and I are out. We will try for the next one.
Marty

[jsb223]

Bundle up...

:rider:

[Gilk51]

Bundle up...

Yep.

Rats. My boots won't fit over 5 pairs of socks! :doh:

OK - about to go up to Minyards to see what other crazies are out and about.

Prayers and travelling mercies to all that venture out - especially Squeaky who appears to be lone wolfing it a long way. :pray:

Ya'll ride safely - see ya for some pie! :eat:

[jbh]

Im out, going to paint the kitchen instead today and ride tomorrow to see the ghost towns.

James and Beca were going to do a short loop around the area 2-up on the FZ1. The word I got from Steve and Wendy was that they turned back to Hico since James didn't have enough gear and was cold. They plan to stay in the area (Glen Rose, Stephenville, Granbury) tonight...

[Gilk51]

Home. Pooped. Wind was brutal/

Guess we need a ride report... :yawn:

[STILLSMOKEN]

Chuck why don't you run over to Glen Rose and tell Squeeky to turn her SPOT off. I think they must have found a place for the night. Barn

LOL - I'll get right on it.

Closing the "prep" thread - ride reports (with pictures) should go here (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37306). :zen:
