Plans and places

Okay... it looks like we will be meeting at our (John and Wildkat) place on

- Saturday, June 16

(anyone who wants to come in on Friday is welcome too)

- BBQ at 3:00 or so (Saturday)

(but will have food available of some kind for anyone getting in earlier)

Car show 5- 9 (Saturday)

Back to our house for smoked turkey sandwiches or whatever...


We'll go for a ride on Sunday morning and decide on the best route for everyone (keeping in mind the ride back for those leaving Sunday) Saturday night.

Is that all completely confusing now?

Hi Kat, been a while, if you dont mind a SOB, ( some other brand ) I will try to make it up there, been having a few issues with the bike, got some bad gas and it has been giving me crap trying to get it back right, but I am just about there, I will keep you up dated as to how things are going

[Wildkat]

SOBs are fine with me

We've even been known to ride with a harley or two before...

(and before anyone gets upset... I'm just kidding...)


Come on up! We'd love to have you ride with us!

and yes... please, keep us posted on how things are coming along with your ride.

[HobbyMan]

If anyone needs it I should have at least one room available, possibly two, if anyone needs it.

[HobbyMan]

btw: cool new icon wildkat

[Wildkat]

Thanks HobbyMan!

Erik the Red was kind enough to send me the pic of a street sign of Wildcat Rd and told me to make it my own... so I did...


Hey all... for anyone who might not have seen this in the Members Lounge...
Friday Night at the Races

Please let us know if you want to come to this...

[dale_1]

I will do my best to be there..... Monday's interview went so good, they wanted a call this morning. I go in tomorrow at 8am.

Guess I did good.

By the way....... is your little fridge still workin ok???

[John]

Still chillin'.

[HobbyMan]

Its kinda hot out to be chillin

[Wildkat]

Even with the rain...

Neither rain, nor hail, nor sleet, nor snow, nor heat of day, nor dark of night shall keep these XSives from a rally...
Wow! Never thought so many people would go through such nasty weather just to make faces at HobbyMan... but a decent turnout despite it all...
Tod came in Friday to go to the races... and HobbyMan was AWOL... so were the races... Due to rain earlier in the day, races were cancelled... but John, Tod and I had a nice ride out to the track anyway... cut it short as there was a LOT of lightning moving our direction.
Saturday was good... rain most of the morning but cleared up a little in the afternoon... Andrew came in early to get a jump on the food and was good enough to leave some for the others when they got in around 3:30. skippy344 and his beautiful bride (Greg and Lynda) and webbcraft came in... followed a bit later by Hippie Dave (riding a Honda ... with FOUR wheels)
After some food and talk... we mounted up and headed off to the car show... which was cancelled.... webbcraft headed home at that point and the rest of us went back to our house.
We decided to mount up and head northwest as that is where the Weather channel said there wasn't any rain... WRONG... rain rain rain rain rain... so we turned around and headed back to the house... where there was beautiful blue sky above us... mounted up again and headed south... then west... clear skies... sun... cool weather (in Texas... in June... talk about being smiled upon) Dave and his lovely lady, Cindy, rode my 81 (I will NEVER wash that seat again... WHAT an honor... I'm almost giddy ... eat your heart out Shameless Hussy )
John lead the way along a local lake road with lots of twisties... I rode sweep so I was able to watch everyone else ride... pretty cool... especially when Dale_1 threw some sparks going into a curve (he will now be known, unofficially, as Sparky)... After the lake road we jumped on the highway and the FJ said it was time to air out a little bit... so I twisted the throttle a little... ahem... then Andrew went blowing by me (after I slowed down)... By the time we stopped... we had been separated by a traffic light... and imagine my surprise when the three bikes still with me were ridden by trbig, HobbyMan and Hippie Dave... (yeah I know... shocking, eh?)
Made it back to the house and hung out for awhile... planned on going for a ride this morning, but the rain might change that plan... Greg and Lynda are riding home as I type... but the rest of us are hanging out...
Thanks to all for coming in and making this a great weekend!

[HobbyMan]

Alright alright I know you were all worried about my journey home you can rest easy because I made it home safe.

I have got to say that it was good to see everyone even though we did not get the chance to ride much or go to the car show. I had a good time. THank you John and Kat for opening your home to a few wet bikers cooming out of the rain. (hey I was wet this morning also) And as always the food was excellent also. I will keep everyone updated on everything. Thanks again for showing up eveyone, it was awesome.

[Wildkat]

YIKES! Duh...

sorry nubee...

and you were there... and you were there...


HobbyMan... it was our pleasure! Maybe next time the weather will cooperate a little better... but at least we were able to get in a bit of a ride.
Best of luck in your venture (adventure)!!

Yes... I know we'll still see you on here... but it just won't be the same...

[trbig]

Just made it home safe and sound... I got 39.4 miles a gallon.... about 6 or 7 more than I get when I ride with just Hobbyman... Hmmm...

Thank you so much again John and Kat for opening your home to strange people again... especially me! The food WAS excellent, and the company as always was fantastic. Great to see everyone again and hope you get home safe. Happy Father's Day all.
