[Squeaky]

Hmm, looks to be about 280 miles each way for me. Put me down as a maybe.

Where's some good camping nearby?

[wczimmerman]

First to the list, Squeaky. Will Spank be making this event, too?

[Squeaky]

I couldn't leave him at home by himself, he might try to throw a party with all his monkey friends or something!

[wczimmerman]

Updated the list to reflect the guest of honor

[Graubart]

Please put me down for a very strong "maybe.":eat:

[kurt]

I'm a "maybe", up for overtime on the 28th. If I don't work, I'll be there.

[budzrex]

I should be good to go as well

[rocketbunny]

<edit> Strike that. Can't go after all.

I'll be flying back from a business trip. Seeya in May. :/

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[MCRyder]

I've heard good things about this place from our local ET guys Terrebandit and txbanditry. I'm a go for launch.

Tyler State Park is nice. Although I've only ever ridden my mtn. bike at the park, I do have a couple friends that camp there all the time and enjoy it.

[Sleepy Weasel]

Go ahead and put me down for this one...

[Gilk51]

Well, I was really hoping to keep my 2006 string of pie runs intact but I will have to pass on this one. :-(

I suffered too much verbal abuse during the last one to Kyle that I am not about to endure that humiliation again... :roll:

OK, actually, I have a conflict with the Quarter Century Club meeting this year at the Ranch of the Lonesome Dove in Southlake - it means a free BBQ dinner. :eat:

However, my better half (tortuga), the rampaging scooter rider has been chomping at the bit to make a run out to Lake Fork and see what it is all about and this fits the bill perfectly. So, is it OK if she comes without me? I'll try to tell her to behave... :huh:

:mrgreen:

[kurt]

:mrgreen:

Of course. She just can't make us look bad (slow as we actually are). :mrgreen:

[budzrex]

What Chucks not coming, well maybe I can harass the monkey instead:lol2:

:mrgreen:

Sure thing! She could do another one of those burnouts in the parking lot! :rofl:

[terrebandit]

I'll be there.

GET a BOWL of warm blackberry cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.... :eat:

I may have to take a day off my Atkins diet so I can join you in the feast. :doh:

Dave

[JR]

Where the duce is Lake Fork, TX.... More detail may bring out more riders???? The Grumpy One.

[kurt]

Between Tyler and Sulfer Springs.

[Squeaky]

If any other out-of-towners want to get together and camp out, I'm pretty sure Tyler State Park is where I'll be setting up for the night.

Let me know, and we can book multiple sites as needed....

[wczimmerman]

There's a link to the Marina in the first post and on that site a map.

[birdwh]

Another PR missed! Stupid Project management classes...grrr.

Have fun folks.

[terrebandit]

Hey all....

I know some pretty good roads close to there and am willing to lead a short ride after our meal. The route I would take is basically South, so that would be real handy for anyone riding back toward Tyler, Austin, or DFW. PM me if interested...

Dave

[Kidder]

Count me in.

[1TallTXn]

hmm, looks like 120mi one way for me...

and I don't know whats going on yet.

count me in as a maybe

[FWRex]

Please add Allison(veryquick) and myself to the list. And we're hoping to bring along another couple of converts to the cause.:rider:

[wczimmerman]

List updated with a few more

[Achim]

Please put me on the list as a "maybe".

Achim

[busarider1]

Throw me down for a "maybe" too. I may have a trip planned to CO that weekend but not for certain at this time.

[Photojojo]

I'm a two up maybe.

[wczimmerman]

Added a few more 'maybe's

[triumphant]

I'll be there for sure. Rode down there today and can vouch for the food. Moser's is on your left on hwy 17 - 1 1/2 mile off fm515.
If anyone wants to ride down as a group - I'll be at the Exxon station at I-30
and 205 hwy (Exit 68) to depart @ 9:15am.
Dick

[wczimmerman]

Put you on the list

[dutchinterceptor]

Mark me as a "maybe" please.

[fz1nutt]

Please put me down as a definent. Any east TX guys willing to lead a tour after of your great roads up there, I hate to eat and run.
Possible thread jack- anybody attending Lone Star Track day in Cresson 5/01/06 ?

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[barnett]

i'm in.

ken

[budzrex]

I think I may wander that way Friday and camp somewhere along the way if the work schedule allows

[King_O_Road]

well I just got the old CB900F up and running, so barring any further problems put me down as a maybe... I got to make my first run some time .....

[wczimmerman]

Done deal.

[Snoopster]

Chris,

Please add myself & Erik "Rainmaker" as a maybe. I noticed that you have Rocketbunny as a definite but she changed her post & won't be there. Does any of the Houston group have a route planned, Squeaky????

[FJR Bandit]

:angryfire I'm a no go. Work is getting in the way again.:angryfire

[wczimmerman]

Appropriate edits made. Thanks for the heads-up Deb!

[Squeaky]

Does any of the Houston group have a route planned, Squeaky????

No clue. I was hoping to convince Gavin to come along for the ride so that I wouldn't be choosing a route or leading. You want to camp out overnight up there? Would be a lot more fun (and easier on the rear) than round trip the same day. And gosh, we haven't camped in forever! :trust:

[Snoopster]

[Cagiva 549]

I have a nice back road most of the way route by way of Marquz , Fairfield , Canton and other small towns . I think I will have to leave about 6:00 am . Just watching the weather , calling for 40% Saturday so this is all very iffy. SEYA

If the weather behaves and you take it easy on me with the offroading, I'll follow you up there. That is, if you'll have me... :rider:

[Sleepy Weasel]

Looks like my status has been downgraded to "maybe."

[zzr_chuck]

hey deb..would you guys mind if i tag along?

[budzrex]

Looks like slim pickins from Central Texas, whats up guys anybody riding up???

[busarider1]

Looks like I'm more of a "definite" than a maybe. Just bought some camping stuff and I'm going to try it out this weekend.

[Snoopster]

hey deb..would you guys mind if i tag along?

I talked to Squeaky & it looks like there will be no dirts roads for them to play on so I don't know if this means that Dave will be leading or what route is planned????. I'm iffy depending on the rain but I'm sure you are welcome to tag along.

Chris: Erik "Rainmaker" has to work & won't be able to make it.

[zzr_chuck]

:rider: .............cool, hope the weather is good

[rickmillertx]

Count me in. I'm dropping my wife off at DFW airport at 7:45. Then I'll drive back and jump on the bike. Should be able to get to Lake Fork by 11:00.
:rider:

[busarider1]

I'm a definite for sure now!!! Woohoo!!! Going to take off Friday and do my first motorcycle camping trip. Wish me luck.

P.S.- Could someone point me in the direction of a good campground somewhere within a 100 miles of Moesers? Grids will work since I am going to use my GPS for the first time also! Thanks!!!

[Kidder]

I'm out. I won't have my new rear tire put on by then. :giveup:

[Gilk51]

It's mentioned earlier in the thread but Tyler State Park on PR14/FM14 (I think that's right - going from memory). It is off I20 between the Tyler exit (US 69) and Kilgore.

[pub610]

Whooee, Chuck. You are good!:clap: FM 14 is right on the money. Just a few miles north of I-20.

[Gilk51]

I'm out. I won't have my new rear tire put on by then. :giveup:
Wow! Didn't you just show us a photo of a worn-thru rear tire coming back from Arkansas or something? And you already wore out the replacement? Man, I guess all those burnouts in the parking lot while the wife is practising on her bike must be hard on the tire! :-P

:rofl: I have to keep myself entertained while she putts around the parking lot so rolling burnouts seem appropriate! :rider:

Well, this was my first Metzeler Sportec and I only got 2500 miles on it (YUCK). I ordered a Pilot Road (my first sport-touring tire on the gixxer) in hopes that I'll get 5000 miles out of it. The best I've gotten so far was 4300 out of a Pilot Power.

Have fun everyone and take lots of pics.

Appreciate it!

[Sleepy Weasel]

Zimm, please take me off the list... I'm about out of back tire, and UPS says the new one won't be here until Monday.

:tears:

[wczimmerman]

Wow! Quite a few edits to make (I've been busy lately)...all complete.

[MCRyder]

Sorry for the extra edit, but I'm gonna downgrade myself to a maybe. My church's youth group is having a car wash at 10am Saturday and I'm gonna try and beg off attending till later in the day. I'm already doing a wedding rehearsal tonite and the wedding ceremony tomorrow nite so I need to get out and play :flip: Maybe I'll let them wash my Sprint (:eek2: :nono:)

No problem. Hope you can make it!

Drats! I knew that once I mentioned camping that Mother Nature would unleash her fury upon me. :( :pound: :tears:

No matter, I'll still be there barring a tidal wave.:mrgreen: :sun: :rider:

[terrebandit]

If its pouring rain, I won't be there. Hopefully the weather will hold for a few hours that day.

[budzrex]

Oh well catch you on the next one

[King_O_Road]

well you can move me from the "maybe" to the
"nope, ain't gonna be able to do it" list...
I am on a diet anyway and the Pie would just mess
with my 'girlish" figure....:lol2:

[Snoopster]

Count me out. I don't really like to start out in the rain. Hope to make one in the future.

[Squeaky]

Squeaky, Skid, and Cagiva are playing it by ear. If it's raining when we get up, we're out.

Unfortunately, this is the NOAA forecast for tomorrow:
Saturday: Periods of showers and thunderstorms before noon. Some of the storms could be severe, with damaging winds. High around 83. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming west. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

[diggers1300]

Add 4 to the list. My SO and I will be there and we'll be joined by a couple friends of ours on their 'Wing.

[Gilk51]

Well, scratch Susan (tortuga) - her scoot is in the shop for routine maintenance and won't be ready until Saturday afternoon. (it is also expected to rain all Saturday morning here)

[budzrex]

I too must bow out, I am riding in the Hill country instead.

[1TallTXn]

I've got family obligations, so i'm out as well :(

maybe some other time

Ya'll have fun! :eat:

[Cagiva 549]

Here are a few pictures at Moser's today...

Looks like the weather kept the cruisers and sport riders away. ;-)

A great time was had by all and the pie... OH MY GOD THE PIE! :clap:

Look forward to seeing more of ya'll at the next one!

[Squeaky]

Waking up to torrential rain, thunder, and lightning was not a good sign. After it blew past, today turned out to be absolutely beautiful and I wonder if waiting it out would have been an option. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

Glad y'all that made it had fun and enjoyed the pie!

[Texas T]

Waking up to torrential rain, thunder, and lightning It wouldn't be a Pie Run otherwise, would it?
:sun:

[diggers1300]

Russ is the guy in the red shirt in the pic from the previous post.
He came from Lawton, OK! My ST and John and Linda Ellis' 'Wing escorted him to Vivian, LA on his way back to OK via Mena, AR. Sound like he is in for a great weekend ride. :rider:

Here's a pic of the bikes at our stop on Lake O' The Pines. The other pic shows the group from Dallas we met up and rode with for about 10 miles on their way to Jefferson for the night. There were several Goldwings and Harley's, a Silverwing scooter, and even a Suzuki Victory that had been triked!

Sorry mixed up a couple of the pics but they're all there in the two posts.

[rickmillertx]

I posted my pictures in the Story Telling and Tire kicking forum. Sorry.

Had a great time at Moser's. Loved the food, the people, and the great conversation. Kathy and I rode down with Joe Freeland. Joe rode his VStrom and we were on the Trumpet Trophy. Didn't get wet at all. Finished the day with a detour on the way home for a swing around Lake Tawakoni to stop by and meet some old friends. Great day, great ride, and great new friends.

I'm back! A 1,200 mile weekend for me. Thanks for the escort to LA diggers. Had a great ride thru AR and on 8 thru the mountains back into OK. I'm tired! Looking forward to riding with y'all again.

By 10:00 the clouds were losing their "gonna rain" look and I was considering going. Then I remembered I had a guy coming up from Livingston to look at the cargo trailer I had for sale. Long story short. He came, he saw, he bought. Maybe see y'all at the next one.
