Title: San Antonio Meet and Greet
Post by: Greg on March 03, 2009, 11:53:31 AM
I see the Houston folks are putting together a Meet and Greet, and it occured to me that it has been a long time since the San Antonio folks have done the same thing. My bike should be operational again after I pick up my new tire from Cycle Gear this evening.

Does anybody have any interest in going to one of the bike nights this week? Either Hills 'n Dales on Wednesday or Floores on Thursday night.

If this is too soon then how about next week?

Let's get together and give the Cruiser crowd something to admire besides Harleys, Road Stars, Vulcans and Choppers

I am up for this, but this week is bad for me. Next Thursday is looking good.

Wednesday is good for me Greg.  Thursday is Bethany's birthday.  Just give me a call.

Jon - maybe we should plan on next Thursday so we can meet up with Wasabi. However, if you want to grab a quick drink at Hills n Dales this Wednesday I'm also up for that.

Let's plan on next week then - since Jon cannot make either tonight or tomorrow.

Wasabi - can you do next Wednesday?

I drive by Hills n Dales all the time on Wed's and it's packed w/the Harley crowd.  I don't mind going (should be interesting reaction lol!) there, but am wondering if there's a better option out 10...?  I live the next exit down from Hills n Dales and I know SA2R is close too.  Wondering if there'd be a better/further ride out to somewhere else?  Like Grey Moss Inn? I'm sure Wasabi could fund us all for dinner ;)   My neighbor on the 696 lives down the street from me the other bud on the Paul Smart lives off Bulverde and usually hits Specht's Wed nights

Been to Hills and Dales before with Greg and it was decent.  Harley crowd was accomodating.  Spechts wouldn't be bad or maybe even Fox and the Hound.  Didn't know they did anything out at Grey Moss Inn.  Im up for anything.

LOL Jon - I think wcw was kidding about the Grey Moss Inn thing. First it is not a bike place and I secondly I don't think wasabi would enjoy funding us all for dinner, as it is a bit pricey in there.

I'm good for either night next week, but if we do Thursday then my friend Donnie with the PD Harley will join us. If ya'll want to do Wednesday then either Spechts or Hills n Dales is fine with me.

LOL No Joke!! I have never been to the Grey Moss in, but I heard it is a little pricey. I rode to Corpus last week for my work and this past weekend I was looking at my back tire and noticed a 1/2 in swath that shows the Steel belting.  :o. I am so glad I did not have a blowout on the way back from Corpus. So I will not be riding till I get a new tire. Hopefully that will be soon, but not by wednesday or thursday. You guys have fun. I will watch the board I might just show up in the car. [thumbsup]

I'm good for Hills n Dales at 6pm or would you rather cruise out to Spechts and try something different?

It doesn't really matter to me. I think Fox and Hound does a bike night on Wednesdays too. Maybe hit Hills and Dales then check out Hound. That is if it doesn't rain.


Title: Re: San Antonio Meet and Greet
Post by: Greg on March 10, 2009, 02:42:22 PM
Ok - lets hit Hills n Dales at 6pm. We don't want to get there too late or it gets hard to find a spot to park and I don't want to get boxed in if we want to go check out another spot.

Due to the wet, cold and windy weather we have decided to bail on the meetup at Hills N Dales tonight. We will try again next week.

Sounds good - I'll meet you there around that time, and then we can wait for any others to show before planning any other places to go visit.

neighbor on his 696 will be coming too.  Other buddy on Paul Smart lives off Bulverde/Evans and is just riding straight to Specht's if we happen to end up out thataway.  C u chaps manana

Post by: patroldawg on March 17, 2009, 06:15:15 PM
I would love to go, but living over in Converse it takes forever getting over to that part of town in the evening, with that amount of traffic.  I would get there late and get home late.  just wouldn't work for me :( Plus, I HATE riding in the area 1604/281 and 1604/I-10 during weekday rush hour.  F'ing cages are reckless.  I was just reading the post on the totaled bike today at 1604/281. ridiculous.  the Austin event next week sounds interesting though

A couple of pics from the small gathering. I should ahve grabbed a pic while we were at Hills n Dales showing the 4 Ducs surrounded by a sea of HDs. Maybe next time  ;D

And for you uneducated folks, the first picture shows what is meant by the expression "Getting your Ducs in a row"  :P
