I can't go.  Wife gets back in town Saturday so must replenish the kitchen points but call me and I'll give you some great roads to ride.

I'd definitely be up for another Muenster Run if we've got decent weather (i.e., no rain and above 60 degrees)  ;D

Tuesday said someone?  Maybe for me.

According to the forecast, Tuesday looks almost like Spring weather; high in the 70's.  And, more importantly, no snow   [bang]

I can post a new thread on Monday or so if a Tuesday ride looks like a possibility...

Are you kidding? its freezing out and the wind is nuts?!

Meanwhile, I was wrenching, but I'm out of beer and too cold to run to the store. Pderbyerous, I know.

Well, what the hell - let's shoot for a Tuesday Muenster Run then.  Leave town around 11-ish, hit Doc's for lunch then back by 4 or so.  Weather looks good - low 70's, sunny.  Prolly still be windy but who cares!
Title: Re: Sunday 21st
Post by: muskrat on March 21, 2010, 04:12:05 PM
looking good so far.  I'll have the Hardley since the Monster is in rehab.  New triples, powder coating and "corrected" exhaust.
Title: Re: Sunday 21st
Post by: Cher on March 21, 2010, 04:21:12 PM

Cool.  I think ato might be interested as well.  Maybe we should start from that Starbuck's over there by Grapevine Mills mall?

Post by: junior varsity on March 21, 2010, 04:36:05 PM
JV is out for this one - bike is still apart after the carb teardown. While things were apart (new fuel lines, fuel pump, filter, petcock, heat tubing around fuel line), I decided to pull the springs off the exhaust, unbolt it and get it coated.

I'm still waiting on darn petcock to come in (went with motion pro valve instead of silly complicated vacuum petcock)

Shell station on FM 1171 and Shiloh Road/McMackin, 11am.  BE THERE!!!!   [moto]  I'm on the tractor Guzzi

Post by: muskrat on March 22, 2010, 10:46:32 AM
why don't we meet in Tioga and then run across 922 and north on 372 (nice road by the way).  then onto 82 for 16 miles of straight into Muenster for the loop and back your way?  Just a suggestion since there seems to be only 3 of us going.
Title: Re: Sunday 21st
Post by: Cher on March 22, 2010, 01:01:14 PM

I don't have any problems with that.  Where is Tioga?  ;D   Is 11am still good?
Title: Re: Sunday 21st
Post by: muskrat on March 22, 2010, 01:02:57 PM
Tioga is right up 377 north of 380.  There's an Exxon (only one) where we can meet and 11 is fine by me.
Title: Re: Sunday 21st
Post by: fastwin on March 22, 2010, 01:16:30 PM
I'll pass. The roads to Tioga suck. Clark's BBQ is awesome but that's it. 372 just leads to Gainesville then a 15+ mile slab on 82 to Muenster. Zzzzzzz.
Title: Re: Sunday 21st
Post by: Cher on March 22, 2010, 01:38:07 PM

So is lunch in Muenster?

nope.  428 is descent into Aubrey and then 2153 onto 2164 and then back on 455 to Pilot Point and 5 miles of slabing it to Tioga.  Then Muenster loop North on 373 to 677 then South through St. Joe and back on 455 for the home stretch.

straight roads can be made more challenging if you drink first.



wait, what?!                                (kidding. don't drink and drive. or ride.).

he can try Rock Hill road.  No way in hell you can catch those corners faster than 30 mph.  Just ask 3 cats
