Hey Houstonians,

Should we start a list of people who would like to go so that we can get our own cabin? 

Scott, How many people can that big cabin fit?

The big cabin can sleep 10 as it says on their website

There are 6 beds +1 futon and space for an air mattress.

Be sure to chime in on the thread on the DFWM.

There are cabins reserved for us already, so far it looks to be a great turnout for another HC Trip LSD style  [evil]

Harvest Classic would be a great destination ride. They have a pro shooter, not as gifted as Scott, who shoots portraits of folks with their bikes in front of the dance hall there.

Just hop on 16 and head north from Koyote.

A great ride from Luchenbach is to take 1888 to Blanco.  There is a low water crossing along the Blanco river just west of the town square with T-Rex footprints in the river bed, makes a nice little ride.

I'm stuck in Houston training Ford reps on the new F-150, I might be able to drive to Luchenbach and at least buy some beer for you guys.

I got my Monster back, but she's home in Louisiana and driving there to pick her up to make the ride is just not gonna happen.

Cheers.

Thanks, good to be back.  Thanks for turning me on to Andy at Metric.  He did a fantastic job on my bike and she's back home.  I'll take her out for my first ride on her in a year Saturday morning.  Lows in the 50's.....I'm jazzed.

Howdy,

Put 85 miles on my Monster.......don't want to jinx her, but she's never run this well or felt this good.  The new Ohlins shock and Race Tech valved Showa forks feel great.

Engine feels strong, forged Ferracci pistons give her bark and bite.

I'm a happy guy, going for a Sunday morning ride right now.

Can't make Koyote or Harvest Classic...dammit.....work schedule just won't allow.

Job has me training the Ford guys in the Houston area next few weeks...so I get to drive home to Louisiana on weekends and ride my Monster.

How bad can things be?

Have fun in the Hill Country guys....I'll be ready for a Spring ride.

Cheers!

I was at MotoAustin yesterday and they said there is a group leaving from there at around 9:00 Saturday. I think that the guys at Ming's on Wednesday are meeting up as well to ride out there, but I didn't catch where as I won't be riding.

I am sure that someone here can help you out though.
