??? Is this a BMW only event? I'll be purchasing a Dual Sport and will try to make this my break in run
Try not to ride on the grass at the Lookout - the grounds keeper doesn't like it.
Otherwise, join us for lunch!

I had planned to be there this year, but several of us are participating in the Texas Tiddler Run on the same day. Y'all have fun, safe time and tell an extra story for me.

Forecast calls for a slight chance of rain in Jacksonville on Saturday.
Okay, 80% chance, but that means there's a 20% chance we'll be dry.
See you guys there.

Wunderground site shows a slightly better prognostication.

Just trying to be optimistic.
An excess of curmudgeonry is bad for one's health, and I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

I had someone from a few hundred miles away email and ask if the picnic will happen picnic rain or shine.
Yes.
If it rains, some of us will be there, either dry, or showing up in rain suits!
Or showing up wet because they didn't stop to put on their rain suits!
See you there.

Well, I can tell you now we are wussing out and rolling up in the car.
Miss Vicki and I are camping overnight and don't want to plow thru a squall-line on two wheels going home Sunday morn.

No shame in driving. We don't have to practice to be miserable - ride a bike enough and you will have your chance to be soaked to the bone.

Among the 50 door prizes for the picnic are a few specials. Besides several new BMW MOA t-shirts and license plate frames, an older MOA member donated some old-style MOA patches and stickers that have been out of production for years. Three lucky door-prize winners will walk away with a vintage MOA patch & sticker each!

Well, if that won't attract a crowd, then there's just no hope for America.
I want a plate frame, so I'll be sure to be there!

Great picnic and great weather all day! About 40 bikes and 50 attendees; really good turnout considering all the severe weather recently.
I will work on posting pictures.
The weather worked out really well, except that rain shower that Jeff led me through on the way home. Just enough to soak my clothes.
Thanks for the German Chocolate cake!

Mark your calendar!
Three months from this weekend - May 21st - third Saturday in May.
The Fourth Annual Texas National Picnic!
Held at Love's Lookout, a few miles north of Jacksonville, TX on the east side of US 69.
No entry fee.
We'll fire up the grills at noon; bring your own chow - something to throw on the grill or grab a burger or sub on the way in.
We have a few dozen door prizes that have been donated by moto-companies; we'll post a complete list when we have everything together. There should also be plenty of grab-bag prizes so every attendee should get something (key chains, moto-calendars, cozies, visor wipes, sports bottles, moto-towels). So far we have received items from Giant Loop Moto, MotorWorks UK, Rocky Mountain ATV, MotorcycleGear.com, and Wunderlich America. We have pledges of gear from 14 more companies.
Hope to see you at the picnic!
