    2nd Annual Meeting of the XSive Minds - 2008

    because you know how I like to plan ahead... ahem... and this will help to plan vacation time for those who need a little XStra time...

    Thursday, June 19 - arrival and hang out
    Friday, June 20 - arrival and workday (Tod? think you'll have something for us by then? )
    Saturday, June 21 - ride and car show
    I think this might also be a Christian Classic Cruisers car show evening as they tend to fall on the 3rd Saturday of the month...
    Sunday, June 22 - breakfast and head home

    Place - Hurst, Texas (halfway between Ft. Worth and Dallas)
    More details to follow...

    Mark your calendars now... remember this will be the XS's 30th Anniversary and a good chance to get together with other XSives to celebrate

    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.

      HHhhhmmmmmm....

      There is a possibility I could make it. This side of Texas isn't that far, but going to Houston from here is quite a trip. I'll keep it in the back of my mind and see if I can't squeeze it in. The Pathfinder is getting homesick for Texas. LOL

              This'll be during Laconia Bike Week next year. Durn Texans can't have all the fun. But I'll be there in spirit.

                New Hampshire...

                In the summer. Beautiful! The ride up Mt. Washington, rt 16 from Gorham to Berlin. Rt 2 back into Maine, then on to my hometown of Waterville, Me. What I wouldn't give to have a bike that I could ride when we are visiting my family...

                  Sounds like someone needs to take one of these extra bikes they have and ride home, or buy a running one around there... and leave it there somewhere.

                    You know Tod, I almost went and looked at an XS that was for sale in Fryeburg Maine, last summer. It didn't need anything, and it was legal. I have no place to leave it up there, and it would take to long to get it ready after sitting for a year. We only stay 3-4 days when we go up there.

                      That's why you pay someone to maintain it

                        Wildkat, I would love to get down your way someday and meet you and John, as well as all the other folks in your neck of the woods. It's such a long ways though, that I don't know if it will ever happen. But I DO think about it as I read of your get togethers!

                          Hey! This is cool!

                          Representation from all over da place! Hope it works out...

                          Believe me... I understand about the distance thing... We wouldn't be able to make the Idaho get together until the kids are older (maybe the 40th anniversary? by then... more dependent on us holding together than the bikes )

                          Ya know malber... Laconia would be fun... but not nearly as cool as getting together with a bunch of XSives...


                          laxdad... I think this would be a great time for you to air out your bike and yourself after your recovery.... which, I hope... is still coming along nicely...

                            Now thats what I call planning ahead. I have already scheduled this event. Should be firmly settled in the new casa by then. I hope the car show has more than one Honda car. The last show I went to up there was a little sparse. Had some really cool bikes though.

                            When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g Hardbagger

                              We could bring our Chevy mini van, and Taurus as well, to compete with the Honda.
