Yes, decided to haul it just to save myself some struggle with storage. I don’t have panniers so it’s just easier to throw stuff in the car and haul over.

Welp, I am out. My new bike is not arriving in time, and the CB500X's seat is away for an upgrade.
I'll have to drool over Gina's Versys 300 another time.
Y'all have fun!

Darn!
Which begs the question for me: should I stay or should I go? My wr would like it
Might just truck up there and sleep in the cab unless there's any camping space left. Hotel seems like overkill for just me.

Sounds good. Maybe I follow you on your skinny roads at Goldthwaite. Flexible on the time. I will say 8:00am but nine would work also if you prefer. Meet up at 7 Eleven near my house on the route out of town. https://goo.gl/maps/BAMhzj6ea6sNJpXj8
Perfect Ed, I haven't ridden with you since we did those dirt roads from Alvord to Jacksboro in 2018, right before you left for Tuk that summer.

I did my first oil change on my SDGT in the Quality Inn parking lot in Morrillton, Arkansas at 11:30 pm by street light.
Brought the oil, filter and a flexible drain pan with me. Poured the old oil into the container the new oil came in and disposed of it at a local auto parts store.
It's a hassle....but there was no way I wasn't taking my new bike on that ride.
Just saying that where there's a will, there's usually a way....
Thanks for the input JT!
Here is what I've got (utilizing Rever). Going to get this new file loaded into my Zumo Tonight and play around there a bit.
If you are planning to meet at the Bucee's Houston people shoot me a PM with your bike so I know how many bikes and which bikes we are on the lookout for.
Cheers!

I took ThumpIT's #17 site near the river. (Across from Park Host #1) It has room for 2 tents/motorcycles. If someone with a tent needs a place to crash, DM.

Riders,
The weather forecast looks fine and the ride is on.
If the forecast changes for the worst by tomorrow night I will post an update, but it seems unlikely that the forecast will change appreciably in the next 24 hours.
See you in Kerrville.

Got my Wife on board for this, just need to find a place to park the RV, or get a hotel room. Any thing still available someone might know of before i set off on calling endlessly.
BTW Wife has never done a ride before, so hoping to get her hooked so we can do more of these together. you all think this will be easy enough for a true beginner. She knows how to ride a dirt bike fine, even has 2 state championship's in cross country stuff. just new to road stuff.

If anyone is needing shop space during event for a "midnight repair" / tire or oil change ... I have shop space somewhat near motel (8 miles).
South Hwy 16 near Biker Church / Turtle Creek / Folk Festival.
Can also accomidate parking your transit rigs / whatever... if that is a need.
There are some empty commercial parking areas (North of McCoy Lumber) near Lone Star Motel that were used for thousands of Covid Rental cars (Might allow parking ???) + a Cracker Barrel that seems to allow overnight parking (back lot) also near Lone Star Motel. Often overnighters park near Lowes.
Kroc Center (nearby Lone Star) for $8 showers / health club (Closed @ 7PM Sat, and on Memorial Day) https://kerrvillekroc.org/
