Re: Howdy Fellow Texans from Big D
Welcome to the site!

That is a sweet looking ride! If you plan to make the Pie Run, you may want to ensure you have good cold weather gear. Also, check the Upcoming Ride/Trips/Events forum for the "DFW to Hico" thread if you want to ride down with other folks.

Quote:
The phrase "eminent domain" reflects an assumption Karl Marx would find congenial: government is the default owner of everything, and that private ownership, however extensive, is merely a contingent arrangement. - Will Grigg

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

The issue is always the same: the government or the market. There is no third solution. - Ludwig von Mises

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least.”… Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe—”That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. — Henry David Thoreau, 1849

Human reason must justify what the human will has chosen, even at the cost of falsifying reality. - Stephen Westerholm

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Welcome. I've got a '06 F650 GS. Like it a lot. Rode it to Montana and back last June.
How do you like the "G" so far?

Re: Howdy Fellow Texans from Big D
Welcome to the forum! There are a couple of regular meet and greets in the north part of DFW if you like to get out and be social.

The Thursday Night Irregulars meets "around"... http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49684

And this fine group of folks meets at Cafe Brazil in Plano.

Re: Howdy Fellow Texans from Big D
Hello Mr. Friday,

I have truly been enjoying it. The heat has been a little unruly, but I usually ride early in the morning around 6am. I love the service you have put forth here for us all to use, I really do. It is such a fantastic to service.

Thanks so much. I am always looking for a a few folks to ride with but here are not too many that I have been able to locate that are early risers on Saturday.

Thanks for contacting me. Hope to meet you someday soon.
