Meetup: Sonic on Clifford St. in White Settlement
Kick stands up: 9:30am
Get there early if you want food and/or coffee.
Ride Leader: fixxervi6

Keep watching this post, details pending

Good thing I won't be there to help you get drunk before you start the oil change.

That was with the Gixxer...not the ape. He learned the first time (you both learned the first time).

TXSR is starting a ride from Sonic at 9:30, or is this meant to be the same thing

the two rides were done separately but we are working on joining them up.

He learned. I didn't. I would get him drunk again before changing oil.

It will be on your bike next time.

He can get drunk while I work on my bike

It is, he's just slacking on updating his photo. Actually I'm probably slacking on that too, my RL photo is like 3 bikes ago

Ya, I need to update the photo with the R1

I should be there. Need to find warmer gloves though... it's going to be pretty cold in the morning =/

Good ride today. Very chilly in the morning but turned out nice in the afternoon.

Yup, very good moderate ride! Thanks leading Rick!

I had a great time, another successful ride.

Rick and Jim- thanks for handling the business ends of it

Mike, what app are you using for routes?

I usually just plot it out with google maps. last time it was a piece of paper taped to the tank. I have waze on my phone but have not dug into it yet. any recommendations?

android

I use a program called Tyre to map the route. It uses the Google API. I use my phone and an app called Copilot for GPS. Tyre will save the files in the format that Copilot can use, so I just load it to the phone and go.

Tyre will convert files to several formats, so when Rick sends me Tom Tom or Garmin files I just load them, then save them as a Copilot file. Works good.

thanks.

If I have a route built in advance I'll usually (when reminded) bounce an electronic copy out to the other RL's, this way if the group gets split or something I'm not worried about it since multiple people will have the route we can hook back up.
