Please put me down as a definite! I'm way behind on making Pie Runs.

[vfer]

If the wife is still doing good,I'm in.It's gonna be close though.

[1TallTXn]

Ah drat. I'm at sea for this one :miffed:

[Gilk51]

Definitely add me as a definite definite definitely.

Thank you. :roll:

[TejasFJR]

Please put me down as a maybe. Considering I've never made it to one of these, I'm hoping I can make it to meet more of you folks.

[wczimmerman]

List updated. I won't be able to make this one as the Zimmerman crew will be spending the day at Fiesta Texas. I will be at the June Pie Run in Conroe, though!

[Eulogite]

Is there a group ride after lunch?

[FJR Bandit]

Ok, you can add me to this one.

[txgryph]

I'm in... as a solid maybe.

[Eulogite]

Any East Texans or Greenville-area people want to hook up for the ride to Hico?

[dutchinterceptor]

Well, pull me off the list CZ. I just got a call this morning about doing a photo shoot. Even as much as I'd like to go, I need the money worse. Maybe I can do at least one more this year.

[Graubart]

List me as a definite! :sun:

[busarider1]

I'm going to try and be there. Make me a "probable" please!

[htown71]

That's a pretty neat looking place. I have driven through hico a few times in route to other places. I always wanted to check the town out and see what they had to show about Billy the Kid. They also have the texas steak cookoff there wanted to go when that was happening.

Would love to but I have a work commitment that weekend.

Well heck if you can make it from Ok then I guess that I should do my 60 or so miles to get there. I will try real hard to make it.

Alert to DFW riders wanting to play on FM 51- this road is now being heavily
patrolled due to recent fatalities. I was fortunate enough to get to speak personnaly to one of their officers. Yea 82 in a 60, CHACHING !!!!$$$
Great day for riding anyway. Ranch House in Glen Rose for BBQ greatness. I think PIE first, Ranch House 2nd for sat. pie run. Lunched down by the river. Pics to follow.:rider: :eat: = heaven, ticket be dam**d, first one in 4 years I guess thats not toooooo bad. Me thinks doing the track day at Cresson on May 1 played a role.:trust: :trust: :twisted: http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/5928/im0011049cw.jpg

[txgryph]

I'm impressed if you got a ticket on that bike for 82 in a 60 on that road. I wouldn't go that fast even with full on race knobbies and a long travel suspention.

:lol2:

[Eulogite]

Here's the deal: The littlest Ninja is helping her sister with a garage sale this weekend. Yep, kitchen pass, big time. The weather is going to be great and I have three days, a bedroll, a coffee pot, and a credit card. I've been to the hill country twice in four weeks, so it's time to go to Arkansaw!:sun:

My first Pie Run will have to wait. :-?

I need to go conquer Talimena Scenic anyway; I put my head in my rear and my V65 Sabre in a guard rail up there a few years back, breaking my shoulder. :argh:

I have no plan other than to do a lot of riding, followed by a few scotches and sleeping under the stars.:zen: If anybody wants to go, send me a note.

[ejk]

Anyone from Houston considering this ride? We could slab it up and then return via the hill country, or vice versa.

[phuffstatler]

I'd like to to go. It'd be a very easy run for the 'Wing up 2243, then 183 and then 281. Hadn't been to Hico in years. Used to do computers for the school up there in the early 90's.

Ok, Edit - Going to the New Ulm thing instead... Catch all you folks on the next one!
.

[skiphunt]

I might try to make this. Does anyone know how many v-stroms will be there? I just bought an 05 and I know nothing about this bike.

[Gilk51]

Does anyone know how many v-stroms will be there?
One here. DL650
Bill (graubart) is another, also DL650 (red).
If Busa comes down from OK, he'll have a DL1000.
could be others...

[rocketbunny]

Ok - I'll be coming up for this. Put me as a definite.

[busarider1]

I'm a definite now. May bring a couple of busa riders with me too. We'll see.

[skiphunt]

put me down.

That's about 2.5hrs from Austin? (at the speed limit ) :-)

[Doons]

I'm in... as a solid maybe.

I'm making the same rock solid commitment ! :trust:

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

No problem.

[budzrex]

I will be missing this one, riding in the Ozarks
, Zrx rally in Eureka Springs:rider:

[Gilk51]

Nobody has mentioned a meet point for DFW folks to ride down. My wife is waiting 'til the last minute to decide to go - she has been getting help for her back the last couple of weeks. With that in mind, I plan a pretty tame ride down with the option of some better stuff coming back.

So, I plan to be at the Exxon in Venus about 8-8:15 with the goal of a LeMans start about 8:30 and a ride down US67 to PR21/FM200 on one side of Glen Rose and maybe FM203 on the other side in order to get to Hico around 11:00 or so.

So, any of you pokers are welcome to join me. Or just wave as you scream by... :rider:

Oh, I plan to stop and take some city limit pictures on the way...

[King_O_Road]

well everytime I sign up for these, something happens and I can't go...:doh:
So this time I have waited untill the day before, and the stars have aligned in my favor...:clap:
I will be in Leander at the post office on 183, first thing in the morning.:sun:
(I am guesing it will be 2 to 2.5 hours up there)( So an 8am start out should get there ok)
Any one passing through want to meet up?:rider:

cell -(512)-five six three - seven four five two

[rickmillertx]

I've got the ZR-7s washed and ready for the party. I don't know my schedule so if I see anyone on the road let's go get some pie!
:eat:

[Squeaky]

I've got the ZR-7s washed and ready for the party.

Even though the weather forecast is 0% chance of rain, washing the bike just makes me nervous... :sun:

Looks like I'll be making this one (my first for the year!) with Rocketbunny and Skid from the Houston area. Anyone else from 'round these parts?

[Hotboot]

My '06 record will remain zeero. You all have a safe Saturday.

[kurt]

I'll be on the BYT, ya'll have fun.

[King_O_Road]

I am still planning on being at the Post Office in Leander (US 183) at 8 am then riding out at 8:30...:sun:
Skiphunt said he will try to make it by then...
Any of you Houston guys or girls coming through at that time?
I will check this post again before I leave the house.

I am so excited... my first pie run !!!! :eat::rider:

Let’s see:
Tank full - check
Trip odometer reset - check
Tire pressure - check
All the gear all the time - check check check
Camera - check
Pie Money - Pay CHECK!
OK let’s ride...

[Gilk51]
