I stared my new job this week and it has run me around
so that my new tire is in the apt managers office, not on
the bike, and things have piled up that must be done
on Sunday. My commute is from Burleson to Valley
View Mall. 
I was really looking foreward to making my second
Muenster run (almost one year anniversary), and riding
with Lisa again.
You guys have a great ride and no "White Cat down"
this time!

Hard to believe it's been a year since the first time I met the group on my first ride as TG mentioned. What a day that was.  Shocked . In many ways it changed me and I thank all you that have been my true friends this past year. I look forward to the rides to come this fall and hope to make many of them. Unfortunately today I'm not able to ride with the group. You will all be in my prayers for a safe and enjoyable ride. I too will be watching WSK while in the garage today if anyone wants to swing by on their way to wherever. It's going to be hot so a dip in the pool seems logical at this point.

Be safe.

And with that post I'm 2000 posts old now! I'm feeling it too  Cry  waytogo  waytogo

Alrighty then!  Great riding day - what a blast.  It was great to meet Mike (Eddie's friend), and Greg.  Greg turns out to be one of my neighbors so that 's cool.  And thanks to The Usual Suspects who were able to play hooky today; Will, Jacob, Eddie. Randy, and John.  Great company, great day.  Nothing like strafing the countryside with friends, startling grazing herds of livestock with the beautiful, harmonious sounds of Italian machinery... Termis at full song... Sa-weet-ness.

I've often speculated that there is surely no better mod than termis for your Duc.  I mean they sound awesome, they're beautifully made, wonderfully proportioned...every minute detail executed with precision.  Stainless steel headers forward, carbon fiber cans aft...  

Damn, Termis are just so cool you're kind of... well, surprised when you discover something they don't do well. Today, for example, we were disappointed to learn that Termis on a Monster do NOT fly.

In fact, the aerodynamic properties of the stacked cans on a Monster are so woefully inadequate that once loosened into the airstream behind the bike, they just kind of lazily spin towards the pavement, cartwheel in a shower of sparks down the road, then shamefully slither off into the high grass along the side of the highway.

Fortunately, the wretched piece was dutifully retrieved by the rider following at the time.  No ransom was required to eventually reclaim the piece either (always nice to ride with friends  Evil ).

So, yes indeed, people, rest assured a good time was had by all today.  We'll just log this Munester Run as "Epic."

Well said Lisa... much better than my quip I was going to post about no White-Cat down, but we did have a Black-Termi down.  Grin

Hit a new top speed on the Blue-Streak today; 170 indicated, 157 on the GPS. Next time I'll start further back on that bridge instead of from where we parked.

I'd post more, but today was a blast and I'm freakin' tired!

I can relate, the last time I did that ride with Lisa and Alan I made sure to go 125mph over the speed limit. But in reality I think it was only 120 or so. Tongue

My dumbass squid move for the year... but at least it was in a "safe" section of the ride. I have a friend's brother who is now hooked on Bonnieville car speed records who says "the older I get the faster I go". He took the words right out of my mouth. Evil

Sounds like someone lost some Termi mufflers off a Monster. But they were retrieved. Those Italian bikes do vibrate stuff loose but nothing like a Motor Company bike! [moto]
