*MOVED DATE* Intermediate Ride - Saturday November 2nd
*MOVED DATE* Intermediate Ride - Saturday November 2nd
This is a planned LONG intermediate ride. Classified as intermediate due to speeds AND distance, this is a ride to Austin, back roads down, slab back up so bring your throttle locks if you have them.
Meetup, the sonic off of Clifford, KSU at 8:30 am, breakfast is highly encouraged, some come early, this ride leaves on time.
This route is probably around 450 miles total, hits some AMAZING roads, when we are in the good stretches the pace will be bumped to intermediate. Due to the length of this ride, we must maintain a pace if we wish to be back before dark, if you show up, expect high speed sweepers and corning, lots of twisties to be had.
The slab back will be close to the speed limit, 35 is watched way too closely.
Because this is an intermediate I highly recommend leathers, full mesh that zips together is acceptable, sneakers are not. Make sure your tires are in good condition before deciding to attend this ride ITS A LONG RIDE, if you "think" you might be able to make it, BUY TIRES TO BE SURE YOU CAN.
Lake Travis is 60 feet down from full, I'll try to work in a way for us to get a peak at the lake but no promises.
I'll figure out a place to eat and stuff later on, but I wanted to get this up with as much advanced notice as possible.
Post up if your in.

Re: Intermediate Ride - Saturday October 12th
I might be in to start and leave early. I have to figure out if I can risk the gas money though seeing as I am not getting paid till congress and all of them figure a way to get along. We will see.... either way I can not take the night off right now because that will not be paid. No sick time or vacation time for me right now lol.

Re: Intermediate Ride - Saturday October 12th
Bike breaks down? Borrow someone elses or trade it in for a newer model.
Drank too much? Know your limits and have some priorities man!!!
Forgot where your keys are at? Seriously, you shouldn't be allowed to have a motorcycle.
Shits? Purchase and wear some depends.
Flat tire? Aren't you drinking that already?
Headache, stomach ache? Are you a woman because women tend to use that excuse!
Dick hurts? Keep it out of the Chinese finger trap.
Bad dream? Its a dream that is all. Carry on and get over it.
Parents come down? Technically, they would be heading North not South if they live in Corsicana like you claim.
Women(s)? Women is the plural of woman so no S is needed unless you are talking about belongings of multiple females and if that is the case an apostrophe is needed before you add the S. If you are talking about having multiple women over your place, leave them there while you ride. You may come back to a spic and span apartment and dinner on the table waiting for you.
Brother calls you? Connect your phone to your sena, this way you can talk to him while riding.
Lost your gloves? You should always have a backup pair just in case you lose the first.
Someone asks you to go drinking? We already covered this. See above statement.
Forgot how to start your bike? This is also with the lost your key...you don't deserve to ride a motorcycle so sell it now.
Can't fit into your leathers? Your dominatrix leathers don't count so I don't we care if you can't fit into them. Put on your big boy moto leathers and get over it.
Have to dog sit? If you sit like a dog then you are trainable so get on your big boy leathers! If you are sitting on a dog, then I don't want to know because that is just nasty!!
Forgot what your name is? Who cares. No one is calling your name while you are your motorcycle anyways.
Remember you had something to do? Did you forget that you promised to ride to Austin?
Won the lotto? You won't ride because you won $2!?!?!
Friends come down? From where? The sky? Are we not your friends? Don't we count too?
Shoot guns? There will always be another day to shoot guns but not another ride to Austin when the weather is nice and if there is then different peeps will ride. What's wrong with current group?
Find you really are broke? Go to the ER and get fixed. That doesn't inhibit you from riding.
Need to shop for your Halloween costume? Seriously? Go as yourself...that is the cheapest costume you can get without spending money.
A girl calls you? If you had your phone connected to your sena, you can have your phone sex and ride at the same time. Garage door won't open? Park outside or take the bike out the front door.
Fire happens at your place? Invest in a fire extinguisher and park outside where your bike is safe from an apartment fire.
Too cold, rains, or looks like rain? Is this why your dick would be hurting other then the Chinese finger trap?
Get invited to something important? The title of this thread may not have your name in it but it is an invite nonetheless so does that mean this isn't important? Is this just something of little value so who cares, blow it off?
Just don't want to go? Fraking pussy!!! GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Random stuff I say:
Women are like square roots, if they're under 17 you just have to do them in your head.
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an incline plane, wrapped helicly around an axis?

Just a weather alert, they are calling for rain Saturday
I have rain gear but I won't do the ride if it's going to be wet from here to Austin and back, I'll keep an eye on it, and if I cancel it will be last minute.
