The 5th Annual TeXSive Hill Country Rally

[sksxs1100]

never a dillow but did hit a dog... barely felt like a speed bump

I should have checked here first.... I just made a commitment for that weekend. I volunteered to lead a ride for the Centex VRA (Central Texas Vulcan Riders Association). BTW, for those that remember my flying Saddlebag covers, I replaced the bags so as not to embarrass myself two rides in a row, but as life is sometimes, I have to sell Sancha, but if it's allowed, would still like to ride with y'all when I can, but I'll be on a Kawasaki Nomad instead..... I will still have the project bike, but not going to make a trike out of her, just restore and rebuild as needed.

Who can ride with the TeXSives

Hey Duct Tape!

No worries, mate! You can ride with us anytime. Its not so much about the rig, but the ride, the friends and the FUN! Of course, nothing is as fun to ride as an XS11!

Thanks again for the rack. It fit perfectly and SWMBO and I can now go on overnights comfortably! She may even ride with us in October!

Skippy344,
I will be in your neck of the woods again with a different riding group on the 5th of August. So far it looks like we will be going to the Texas Roadhouse (?) in College Station that weekend. I'll be on the Nomad though. By then "Sancha" will be sold and "Next" won't be on the road yet.
Also, I found the backrest that goes with that rack!, I'll bring it to College Station on the 5th. It needs to have the pad re-covered, but the price is right! Just pick it up when I am there (not even shipping!)

[skippy344]

Awesome!

Give me a call when you guys get to the RH and I, and maybe SWMBO will come have lunch!

PopRock and Kong want to come. It's still a clear weekend so far.

I noticed the comments on the speed bumps, a couple of weeks ago I was riding back from Luckenbach and almost hit a deer, he/she was less than 6 inches from my handlebar when I rounded the curve and shot past at it at 60 mph. Actually there where more deer than I could count, but most at least moved to the side of the road when they heard the horn. I always wondered why those bike horns had such an annoying sound to them, now I know, it's to scare deer off the road! That whole area is filled with them and at night and they all seem to like the road! Anyone riding after dark, remember to look for those glowing eyes, they really do stare at your headlights!

[MAXIMAN]

Zilla and I will be there. For me it will be my second year. For Zilla his first. Last year I brought Zeus (red '79 SF).

In any case I'll likely be riding down with PopRock.

If you are going to the gathering in Aggie town, why don't you give me a holler, when you pass through this area. I'd like to meet you. I'm off work on Thur-Fri, and I get home from work around 3pm.

[MAXIMAN]

I'm not going to College Station. I willbe at TeXSive in October ...hopefully. You?

And will you be able to make it to OklaTeXSive in September 22nd?

I don't see my self making any long rides in the near, or distant future, because of lingering effects of last years accident. I can't ride more than 80-100 miles without being VERY uncomfortable. Last month, SWMBO and I took a 160 mile ride, and I was sore as hell, and my seat is in near new condition. About one tank of gas' range is about all I got in me. Even Davis, Ok/Turner Falls is over 240 miles round trip, and I wouldn't dare try to make that ride right now.

Last month, SWMBO and I took a 160 mile ride, and I was sore as hell...

On open highway with an XS, that's only about 2 hours in the saddle right?? "Cruising" with my Harley buddies, 160 miles takes at least 4 hours...
Just load the bike up on a truck or trailer and drive down... ride when you get here. We can all go knock on Maximan's door.... with this heat, I doubt he would open it though.. lol.
I am starting to have a little more faith in my XJ... been running several hundred miles and 2 weeks straight now... lol. WOO HOO! I may try to make this Hill country rally myself. Anyone wanting to make their bike look REALLY good... ride next to mine!
Hope you get to feeling better John.

Front door? It's so hot here the paint is peeling off my front door?



Tomorrow it's supposed to 110!!! That's Vegas style heat!

[shutchis]

I'm coming on my GM-Suzuki-GSXR-Hayabusa-MegaSquirt-XJ Motorcycle...that's all the parts I installed to fuel inject my motorcycle.

Or on my OLD honda.

If Deborah comes, I'll drive the truck. See ya in October. Stan

If she comes, you ride, she drives. That would leave the back of the truck for beverages.
