Alright dammit, time for a TX RTE. New Date! April 1st!

[stroguy]

4/1/2017 in Groesbeck TX. A tank of fuel from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio nd Austin. Early arrivals can have breakfast and the later arrivals can have a burger. Let's say a 10AM arrival for chow early, then hanging and bragging afterwards. We'll hang for the burger folks or maybe a scenic ride.

I like breakfast so I will be an early arrival.

Great planning Stro !!!!!!

Alright, Texas....what are all y'all made of?

[stroguy]

Thanks, hopefully kinda central for the three big cities to have a lil get together.

[stroguy]

Just doing a Google street view recon of the place and there looks like plenty of parking. But there also could be overflow into gravel or grass if enough show.

Make sure to throw a hunk of lumber or a plate of some kind for your kickstand if you get forced into a grassy area. Don't want any bikes falling over.

Crow fly distances from city centers to Groesbeck

San Antonio - 180
Dallas - 95
Houston - 140
Austin - 111
Shreveport - 180
Waco - 35

Woohoo! I'm in.

[Ntexastom]

I now have this on my calendar, so definite maybe for me. Thanks for planning.

[sharkey]

I can't plan 4 months out. :icon_biggrin: I could be dead by then.

Put it on calendar and will hopefully make it. I start a new job next week and my scheduling will probably be non-standard.

[stroguy]

Where's the gravesite? We can come to you.

[sharkey]

Cremation. Drive down FM4 around Santos and you'll pass me.

I've seen the cost of funerals and everything associated, I am turning to powder as well, either naturally or by express in the oven.

Last time I will bump this this thread year.

654 miles from Milton, Florida....anyone got a spare room???

Heck if you ride that far to eat, I'd at least have to put you up in the camper in the driveway.

[Mdenari]

I am in, anyone riding from Houston?

[willtill]

Take a group picture and post it :icon_cool:

[stroguy]

Take a group picture and post it :icon_cool:

With or without?

[willtill]

With or without?

With screen names.

[stroguy]

I meant firearms. But we can do screen names if that tickles your fancy.

Firearms would be a nice accent, within the group photo :icon_cool:

[53driver]

As long as we stay away from Austin, I think firearms wouldn't be an issue....

[stroguy]

I am in, anyone riding from Houston?

Spring. Grand Pkwy, 290 to 6 and up the back way via 14. Sun up cause I get hungry quick.

[Hondaguy]

I live in League City. I'll come. 2013 Black F6b.

[stroguy]

For the Houstonites, as we get closer to the 1st we can firm up meeting locations for those that want to cruise up to Groesbeck together. As of now I would most likely be leaving at around 7AM and heading for a coffee stop in College Station around 8AM. There is a huge Stripes gas station there. If we don't leave Houston together we could congregate at the fuel and unfuel stop in CLL.

Here is a pretty sweet app for keeping track of whereabouts for a limited time. I used this so the wife could watch me travel to AreKansas for the rally. You control who sees you and for how long. If we share our cell numbers or email via pm's we can see what folks will arrive at CLL or Groesbeck.

OC Baby!!!:icon_lol:

People make fun of us over yesterday's snowfall BUT for my job, I drive and had to make an airport run from Dallas and then head back again. After the drop off, I had to head home to FtW, it was horrendous yesterday and thankfully the company is using a rental and didn't get the permanent lease vehicle yet. I though for sure someone would hit me.

Taking the F6B out tomorrow since it should warm enuff to ride a bit.

[stroguy]

The weather for that day looks great.

You been talking to Blackmetoc?
Navy weather forecasters are the only ones willing to forecast 3 months out.....

[Sorcerer]

Hum, 15 hours 39 minutes 1080 miles. One way. I'd have to eat a quick early breakfast and then turn and burn.

I did Dallas to St. Paul in one day.
But not back that same day....

Will you need snow tires to escape MN in April? Make a trip of it and go see the sisters on the way to San Antonio.

[Sorcerer]

Yup. At that time of year one most likely could encounter snow/ ice coming and going. The real question would be the ice on the driveway and side streets.

[Bill1584]

Found it, Stro. Thanks for organizing! I'm in if I can convince my wife to postpone our anniversary dinner (friday 7th). You traveling OC? If you do, I will.

[stroguy]

I don't carry OC Bill. Mainly because I wear a shirt that covers my belly and my pistola. As visitors to Groesbeck I will opt for concealed. But now for the group pic I will gladly tuck my shirt in.

[stroguy]

NFL playoff bump.

[stroguy]

Conference Chanpionship weekend bump. I'm pulling for the foreigner this weekend.......Go Falcons.

[SBF6B2013]

I just changed all thread references to 1 Apr.

Stro - please PM those who were indicating attendance at the possible postponement of anniversary plans or spousal involvement to ensure they are aware of the change.
Cheers,
Steve
PS: I'll be there!

[stroguy]

Mission completed sir.

[BuzzzPhotos]

Date change blew me out of the saddle. I photograph sports & youth soccer is the biggest payday of the year. Sure enough I scheduled it for April 1st. I'd love to be taking the group photo of F6Bs...

[stroguy]

So sorry BUZZ. I will have a biscuit and a slice of bacon for you. Glad to hear your involvement with youth sports. Sweet.

[ddoug]

Sorry - we will not be able to make the date.

[sammyseahawk]

There's a chance we will be coming from Pasadena. Depends on if there is a Patriot Guard mission that day or not.

[stroguy]

Sorry - we will not be able to make the date.

Next time Doug.

[sharkey]

No can do. Haven't worked a Saturday in the four months with the new job but I have to this Saturday. Wish I could make it, another time. Sidenote - we meet for dinner about every other Tuesday somewhere in Tarrant Co. for twtex.com so feel free to check the site and come join us. Last week was Fuzzy's Taco.

[53driver]

Okay!
I'm in Dallas this week.
I'll be there on Saturday!

Looking forward to a good showing!

Cheers,
Steve

[stroguy]

Sounds most excellent!
What may I bring?

[stroguy]

Wife loves wine. Hope the weather holds for the evening on the veranda. Sounds like a food day fursure.

[f6bmbaer]

I would like to meet some of you guys I live in Waco but have to work till 2:00 maybe we could meet somewhere for late lunch

[stroguy]

It's a beauty morning for a ride in Houston. We are heading out when the east starts lighting up, maybe in 30. Should be sitting for chow by 10. If you come late we have a Waco friend that wants to meet later. We will head back shortly after breakfast as the weather in south TEXAS begins to get spotty later in the day.

[f6bmbaer]

Since I have to work till 2:00 I will be having a late lunch at George's restaurant in Waco 1925 speight ave Waco Texas 76706 maybe some of you guys would like to have a good late lunch with me

[stroguy]

Good plan because the other place is closed. Steve and I are in Kosse Cafe in Kosse TX. Don't go to Groesbeck.
