Unfortunately, I will not be on either ride tomorrow. My "little red bitch" (250) needs new tires (the rear has no mo' tread). Someone has offered to let me take out his 750 but I don't feel comfy with a bigger uncontrobaly b!tch since I am used to a little 250. I am not afraid of wrecking it....I am afraid of dropping it. So, I declined the offer. Hopefully, I will have some new tires soon!!!


KSU at 8am. If you want to eat, be there at least 20 minutes before 8am to get some chow. There should be a map to the sonic location (off of Clifford Street in White Settlement off of 820).

Howdy from Cresson. Where in Cleburne do you live? Just curious because my boyfriend works out near there.

Glad you found the group. Hope you can make it out Thursday.
