Thanks TWTEX! My first ride with y'all and I thank you for the warm greetings and open arms reception. I'm already signing up for future rides with the TWTEX. Thanks to Chuck for the great pictures. Thanks to Rod & Dody for a great afternoon ride. And no it was not too long and yes the roads were nice. I didn't expect to find such great riding in that area. The BBQ, roads, hills, BBQ, low water crossings, peaks surprised me. As a ride leader Rod you are the best! All in all folks a great day. Really looking forward to future gatherings. Thanks again.

Hey Chuck, Mine is a 1000...though I have to admit when I have to fill up more than Rod, that 650 looks good at the price we pay for gas!!!! :eek2:

Afterwards,Elzi, Ed and I cruised out to Dinosaur Valley State Park. It really is a neat park, and as a local, I don't get out there often enough. I am going to try to change that. I didn't have my camera with me, but hope that Ed posts up some photos of Elzi and her dino-buddies.

Sure......

Hey Chuck,

It looks like everyone had a great time. I missed it due to your title..... :doh:

There are so many threads on TWT that I have a hard time reading all of them, so when I read your title, I skipped it thinking it was a "V-Strom Only Ride"... As I'm talking to Ed today, he says "you dummy, you should have read the rest of the thread!" :argh:

Now I know! :rolleyes:

Yes, you need to be very wary of a title that has an asterisk (*) in it! :-P

check the fine print. :roll:

Sorry, you missed it, though...

Yeah, I missed another one, too. I should have gone around and counted mufflers. :-P

That means there is at least one that didn't complete the journey. Who crashed?

That wouldnt be funny except it is so true to the Rex group and
since you are an ex rexer you get to still poke fun with and or at us :mrgreen:

Gilk51 · Mar 10, 2008

The Rex and the little Ninja were the only two Kawasakis. It's interesting that there were no Hondas in the mix...

No Hondas... that is interesting.... Did you forget to count the KLRs as Kawis?
I am suprised one of them has not spoken up. :shock:

Oh

I see what you are talking about - I must have edited Ed's post instead of replying to it. Lemme see if I can fix it... :giveup:

Mo betta now - sorry Ed... :-(

ed29 · Mar 11, 2008

That's alright, I just thought you were teasing me by tweaking my post. ;-)

It's all good!

oops, I forgot - I have one but it is not pretty.

I hope it is th only casulty of the day - the buttermilk pie that I brought home.

Apparently, it wasn't secure on top of the other stuff in the top case and slid around, ending up not level.

However, it doesn't seem to bother my son. We dumped the filling back in the pan and he has polished off 25% of it already.

Seems like this isn't the first time you've beat the filling out of a pie, Chuck.

Actually, I think this is my first casualty. The pecan pie from the first Hico Pie Run survived with only a broken piece of crust IIRC. :scratch:

And it took a full right side fall... :doh:

pinecone · Mar 13, 2008

There is actually a place in NM called Pie Town.

Look for a ride report to there and back after Easter (I'm doing the Mods vs Rockers thang in DFW). :trust:

1TallTXn · Mar 14, 2008

Looks like y'all had fun. I might just have to fix the "no Honda's" issue next year

After all VFR has a V in it :trust:

Keep us informed of your plans. Maybe us DFW folks can meet up with you there...

Um, will you be a Mod or a Rocker? :lol2:

Cycledelic Relic · Mar 20, 2008

Hi folks,
I'm back....haven't had good internet access due to a job(client)change last week.I'm still planning on posting some detailed maps of paved(seal coated) Co Rds in several central Tx areas that we usually ride.May take a bit longer than expected due to limited net access but will post to the Members section Roads & Routes when I can.

Texfire: What a nice looking bike! :sun:

I can also report that the Wee will reach 100 mph, actual speed by GPS that is, before the rider chickens out. I'm sure that it's able to go faster, probably with a different rider.

No Comment. :lol2:
