What's happening Houstonians? Anyone out there still riding? I know I haven't been.  :P
Anyone up for a bike night some time soon? Wednesday night maybe? You know you want to.  8)

Hey, I'm still riding! 

I should be able to have some free wednesdays after this week as it's my last freakin week for Insanity!

I may have the Multi by the end of the week, so could  [moto] somewhere next week.   or when it actually shows up, which ever comes first.

Hey David, glad to hear someone still does.   [moto]

Allen, keep us updated on the status of your Multi's arrival. I'm sure you're anxious. I got dibs on a test ride.......I'm kidding of course.  [cheeky]

Tentative plans for a meet up next Wednesday 6/23 sound good?

Been in Houston about 6 months now .. man is it hot and humid here!  [bang] [laugh]

Been riding in the mornings and rode to Austin ...always up for meeting you guys.  Just let me know where and when.

well hell man!  what the heck??? 6 months and we haven't had a meet up for you, we gotta fix that for sure

Next Wednesday sounds good.

hiero, thanks

Next Wednesday works for me as well  [moto]

Any suggestions where to meet?  8)
Default place can always be Rudz.  :P

rudz is good, king biscuit is a good spot, lil big's in the former ming's spot is kind of weird, but good sliders...

Just checking ... we still meeting this Wednesday?  [bacon]  If so, where and when (is Rudz ... Rudys on 45?)

I guess since noone has a real preference, we'll just use the regular place, Rudz is actually Rudyard's over in the Montrose area.  7-7:30 ish most people start showing up and we just park on the sidewalk in front

although I am never opposed to Rudy's BBQ!!!  I prefer the one off 290 rather than the one near woodlands, but either one is still pretty darn far for most people, Montrose is fairly central for most

Yeah Rudz sounds good. Tomorrow Wednesday 6/23 @ 7-7:30'ish at Rudyards on 2010 Waugh Dr.

I didn't know there was a Rudy's BBQ here! Maybe we can save that for a post weekend ride.  [thumbsup]

TWO actually  [thumbsup]

weather doesn't look like it's playing nice at the moment, stay tuned for what it looks like later tonight

Rain most likely in the late afternoon to early evening...

Push it back a day or move it to next week?

I'm good with thursday and next week should be fine as well.  For anyone interested, a friend of mine will be playing at rudyard's on saturday night, so if you're looking for something to do, she'll be rocking the house that night

Food for thought.  Thursday evening Houston Superbikes is having a "sneak preview" opening for SETxDOC members before the grand opening this Saturday.  They're located a stones throw down 59 from WreckedExImports near Sharpstown Mall.

The forecast for tomorrow looks a lot like today. We can push this to tomorrow if everyone prefers though.  ??

Doesn't matter to me.  The North side is clear; cloudy but clear and none look like they're about to dump.  Forecast keeps pushing "rain" later on tonight; now indicating 9-10ish.  Radar looks scattered around downtown.

This is going to be par for the course until October.

If ya'll can push it to next Wednesday I can make it. [beer] Not that I expect you to change it just to see me!
I still get out every once in a while, even though my bike has to strain to haul my fat ass around these days! :-[

K. Today AND next Wednesday. Problem solved.  [bacon]

lol, y'all have a good time tonight, I've already been caught in torrential rain twice in the last two months and I don't particularly enjoy it when I can avoid it!  :'(

I'd like to see what the whole Houston Superbikes thing is all about though tomorrow so hopefully I'll see a few of you there and I'm down for next week, if only so that poor damon will have someone to commiserate with  [moto]

Ok, I assume tonight is out ... maybe I'll make it tomorrow.

It was good to see you again Joe.

Not a drop in the sky all the way from Teh Woodedlands and back.  Houston summers; a coin flip is a better indicator of rain then the weather guessers.

I'll probably swing by Houston Superbikes tomorrow.  I'll bring the rearset bracket bending fixture along for Hiero, though I'm waiting on the threaded sleeves for the mounts; eta Friday for those.

Same here Allen. Skies were clear there and back yesterday.  [moto]

Took the bike to work today for chuckles and grins and now am sitting at the computer with one eye on the screen and the other out the window. What the hell was I thinking? [bang]
 
Hoping for a bit of luck and a dry and clear path back to the dump when the whistle blows.

ah, that's sucks!  I was planning on taking the bike myself and heard the rain report on the radio in the morning just in time to switch but it's been dry the whole day... you'll probably get lucky and it'll be fine!

After last Thursday I feel your pain.

It is a 23 mile run between the office and the dump. All was looking dry untill I got to Pasadena. It came down in buckets.
Then on 610 it was dry again. And I had just detailed the bike over the weekend. That's it! from now on I leave it dirty for during the week and detail it for the weekend. Well no, that's not such a good idea either.......damn!

Hey Joe

You know we ride every Thursday night, and then get together for dinner, Vince is coming out more often, you should come by, we are also ridding every Sunday, of course depending on the weather, last Sunday we had a small group about 6 bikes.

We are ridding a lot, just shoot me an email or call me you have my number right?

Tonight we are not ridding but still meeting for food and drinks.

Who this be? Juanito is that you chavalo? LOL   [laugh]

Dude, I need to get some serious seat time on the motos. I'll hit you up next time I have time for a ride on a Thursday or Sunday.  [moto]

Come on up this Sunday we are organizing a ride, if the weather permits we will be in Bellville around 10:00 am for the people that are allways running late, but original meet place will be in the Sugarland area at 8am

After my ride yesterday and a random note from someone looking for Paul, I was prompted to log on here for the first time in way too long!  The only excuse I have is that wedding planning has taken over my life. 

It sounds like Joe and David are up to their old tricks, though.  I hope all is well with everyone!  When's the next meetup?

I'm down for most whenever, just trying to get the tach fixed on the monster and find some time to finally try to start up the 748 again after some headaches a couple weeks ago...

Uh oh... sounds like a story that should be told over a beer.  I still need to request some help turning wrenches since I still haven't gotten around to either replacing the shifter linkage or just bending it back into straightness.  Perhaps after all this wedding mess is done...

Good to hear you're still around Dom. My condolences about the upcoming events. Really, no kidding............. [cheeky]

Sadly, no, I'm not riding much so I'm trying to make excuses to have me committ to ride. Even if it's just to a pub to catch up with the monster peeps.  ;D


Hey David,
I have a few parts from my 750 if you need anything just let me know. I think I still have the speedo cable and speedometer if you need them.  [thumbsup]

did you get it all back together already?? if not, how about this saturday?

I haven't put it back together.
Yeah, Saturday works for me. Morning of afternoon? I got some new goodies too. Let me know what time works best for you and I'll plan my day around it. Thanks!  [thumbsup]
