Who's riding and where?

1st time riding with a new group today and I knocked down 323 miles total, my longest day yet.

An ADV bike to the right of mine, all others were pure sport or nakeds. The ZX to the left of mine leaked fuel and caught fire but he got home safe. I was no where near the front of the pack but they didn't leave me in their dust so, 'twas a great day.

What group is that?

A couple of friends talked me into Grand Tour of Texas this year. Scavenger hunt for specific landmarks across the state. Good riding, good fun.

What group is that?

Poor wording, it was my 1st time riding with a well established MotoHouston group. They meet most weekends in Waller, Chappell Hill and occasionally Brenham.

MotoHouston, there's a blast from the past. I used to work with one of the big guys from that forum. I stopped working in Houston and didn't get down that way, just drifted away. That pic didn't look as squidly as their demographic used to be.

I also didn't have time to chat on forums, especially one as involved as that. I know more from Two Wheeled Texans.

I've done some local riding with various TWT groups and several lunch meet ups too. I plan to make the Moosehead Cafe lunch this Saturday in Crockett when the Monthly Lunch Run (Southern Style) & East Texas BMW+ Club groups converge. (See post #1 in that thread for details.)

If you're not a TWT member, guests are always welcome.

I am on TWT, haven't been a regular poster for a while unfortunately. I don't work a job that let's me onto the internet during the day, so no checkups.



Actually, this is the most posting I've done in a long time. I've been laid up since crushing my ankle at the end of October and then surgery. (~700lbs of motorcycle landing on an ankle during a training exercise, I don't recommend it. ) Next week I get to finally start learning to walk again.

Not riding these days. Waiting until the fuel in my bike thaws (joke).
I need at least 50s and sun to ride. 15 and no sun is "a little" chilly.

Got out to Luckenbach for the last ride of 22.

Took the scooter on a 15 mile round trip to Harbor Fright to pick up some bungee cords that I was lacking during the freeze last week. Gonna take the real bike in a few minutes to the army surplus and pick up some 50 cal cans

Where is there an army surplus store?

 

[Grumps21]

BW8 and W Belfort. About a mile south of the southwest freeway.

Rode maybe 50 miles yesterday and planning on riding again tomorrow.
Gorgeous weather we are having these days! Will it last?

I plan to ride today (We & Th too), will you be anywhere near Walker county? Meet for lunch / ride?

Anyone else?

I used to pack @10 bungees of various lengths, 2 cargo / helmet nets and @20' of trot line. I dumped all the bungees for 1 pair each of 42" & 60" Rok Straps and saved a ton of space while (so far) meeting all my needs. YMMV

They've changed the website since I was last on it and now there's almost no strap details. Watch the 42sec video to get an idea of how they work.

 

[Grumps21]

The ROKs are good. I have two sets that I carry on my road bike

I rode a bunch last month - unusual for January. No riding today.
