Moderate Ride Saturday May 7th

Good ride Rick.

They finished up the bike in an hour and a half, so I was able to meet up with the group in Palo Pinto. I now have 1038 miles on the bike.

What a great ride! I know I was hungry, but that was one darn good brisket sandwich. Does anyone know our total miles more or less? Thanks Rick

From my house I did about 270 miles.

Im in for a May 21st ride if I can steal my brothers bike and helmet.

Wait, don't you have one of those ride leader icons by your avatar?

On a different note, we met you guys about a mile or two south of I-20 on US281, looks like you were headed to Natty Flats. Rick leading, Heath riding drag, couldn't make out who else, but looked like a nice turnout. Then we spotted Jim chasing after you just west of Weatherdord. Hated to miss it.

Great ride, thanks all! Now I just need to hit the gym and get in shape for these longer rides...

Actual route was just over 200 miles but by the time you add in getting to the meetup and slabbing it around it adds up.

For me I consider long rides in the 300 - 500 mile range, my preference is long rides but it's hard to do them publicly since people start getting miserable. I can cover a ton of ground by myself by stretching out the gas stops and doing gas-n-go's but that ruins it for a lot of people so I try to keep things civil and non miserable. I think my record is something like 2200 miles in 4 days but it's been a long time so I don't remember exactly.

My first time using Rever to record the ride, I think it stopped recording on the last leg, but here's the share if you want to check it out:

NO U TURNS! YAY TOM TOM!

[Polokid69]

looks like 4 Kawasaki's on the ride ?

From what I recall: yes. 250, 300, 650, ZX-10

Then Rick's RSV4, a S1000RR, and Jim showing up in the middle with his new R1.

Surprisingly, non of the Kawi's dropped a valve.

[LonestarCBR]

The really scary part was that there wasn't enough tow-bikes to get them all home in the event of worst case scenario. I call that a big "whew!"

[Polokid69]

hopefully there was enough duct tape for the Triumph on the ride

[LonestarCBR]

I'm living on the edge now...I'm riding without duct tape in the tank bag, tempting fate!
