OK, I'm in. I'm getting a PLB (personal locator beacon) so I won't interrupt the ride this time. Adding Quik splints to my med kit too. Nothing as embarassing as a doctor being unprepared for his own injuries. Maybe I'll have to find that link for a KLR trailer to carry a more complete kit. :mrgreen:

Depending what I can learn about this ride - I might be up for it, yes... we could meet up someplace and ride down there.
 
I have a question, are we going to have to appease the old lady with the goats? Coastalcop should have been a diplomat! I guess she was part of the adventure

bigboy,

The most current information on the 2008 Texas Adventure Ride (TAR) is posted on my web site at www.texasadventure.net

A brief history: In 2006 a couple of friends and I did a 3 day adventure ride from Austin to Langtry, TX and back. We had a great time and discovered some wonderful DS roads out in the hill country and west Texas. Based on that trip I decided to put together a ds/adventure ride in the same area. The first TAR was the last weekend in April of this year and 125 riders attended. I thought it turned out very well (at least I know I really had a great time) and based on all the positive feedback I plan to keep it going as an annual event.

You can find reports on the first annual TAR in the ds ride reports section here on TWT.

Hope you can make it for the 2008 event.
 
I will keep in touch with you "bigboy" I should know here in the next month or two the outcome of my shoulder

Tell your boss you have to rescue the lower half of Texas from a swarm of aliens on two wheels? Secret missile launch tests by Bedouins wearing helmets? Giant desert and sand worms on wheels posing as a national threat? Be creative ;-)
 
:lol2: No, that wouldn't get me far down there. The DR650 would be hauling my butt around. Maybe by then I'll have these new racks figured out and have the Pelican Cases installed!! :angryfire Anybody ever install the HT SU racks? I am NOT looking forward to relocating the rear turn signals!

Several of us from this local will be trailering down. I'm not riding a 250 all the way down to Junction then riding dirt for two+ days :eek2: Hopefully after Tennessee next month, next year's TAR will be a piece of cake ;)
 
Thanks for all the info - I am definitely interested now that I understand it :) Will keep an eye out for more info!
 
I don't know many TWTers yet and I would love to make the event.
Will a Wee be OK or should I bring a DS?
