My new baby is due on June 7th so I cant make it this year. Perhaps in 09 i'll strap the little one to the backrest and head up there.

You need to get your priorities in order! Choosing to be there with your new baby instead of with us partying...
I think everyone fully understands... and CONGRATULATIONS! Hey! We can all ride down to your place and welcome the little one in XSive style!

If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

I mean... it's three thousand weary road miles for me to get to Texas.
I (obviously) see nothing wrong with me flying down to Texas and commandeering one of HobbyMan's bikes.
All in favor, say "Aye". (Or "Arrgh Matey")

With no particular time schedule to be on, it would sound like a pretty good excuse for a road trip to me. See if the 'ol back is still up to sleeping on picnic tables??
Of course, when you get here, we could STILL go steal one of Hobbyman's! lol His have been sitting too long anyway, they need some gas run through them. Heck, maybe we'll all just go grab one and knock the dust off of 'em! Just as a favor, you know? lol.

Now we just need to get those west coasters headed this way after their rally the weekend before...
Will send directions ASAP (like after I post this)
I'm arranging with a friend of mine for t-shirts, so watch for ordering information in the South Central rally section in the next month or so...

I had posted a list of accomodations in the South Central rally section for the MoXSM last year... I'll check the info and make certain it's still good... I know one of the hotels has changed hands so I'll get that updated...
2 rallies this year?
The XS bug got you, didn't it?

Originally posted by HobbyMan DUDE. I think I might be off for that weekend! My Finals end June12. 4/c is required to help with graduation that week. As it looks right now, count me in. That being the case, if anyone needs a room to crash in, I should have some space. What is the count right now? I may end up missing the 1st day b/c of graduation. Still, I am sure my Dad will enjoy a few XSives around. I will keep everyone updated.
Glad to hear you will be back riding again soon! I have to check my schedule, but I know it will be fun.
I sure had fun last time. Next time, I may want to get some genuine Texas Chili. I liked the ride to Grapevine.

Got our first baby due May 25th but my parents live in Richardson, TX so I can probably swing a visit. Between my dad, bro-in-law and me, we would be bringing three bikes (mine the only XS). We'll be there as long as you don't mind a Roadstar and a Vulcan tagging along!
