Yes and yes, hopefully, my recently renovated IS will be ready to ride by then.

HI,

I'm a new owner of a 2014 Valkyrie and live in The Colony. I was curious how do I join the Texas Chapter? Do you guys do group rides, etc.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim K.

Joining is easy.  You just did.

Do we do group rides?  Yes.  We used to do them more often.  With the weather being more riding type, I expect us to do some more.

Come to the meeting and we'll talk.

Welcome Jim

   You'll be happy to know that another member of our group ALSO rides the 'new version' Valk.  Not sure what year it is.

His handle is Brew1Brew. 

  He makes it to most of the meetings.

rocketray

how about a meeting discussing splitting  the "Texas Forest Trail" on 2 weekends--the northern 1/2 above I30/Hi-80 one day /weekend-some 300 odd miles and the southern below I-30/80 some 400 miles another weekend?

RainMaker

Well, someone should suggest a place.  I won't because I don't want to pick a place too far west.

That's fine. Just need to know so I can plan the trip, make sure I've got a full tank and have my hotel reservations on the way there.

Could be worse.  You could be making the pilgrimage to Woody's place.  You can see the St Louis Arch from there, I think.

Could be even worse, could be at Godfire's place, I think you can see Russia from there.

  Hmmm.  Guess I'll have to wait until Thursday to decide whether to wear a 'cooling vest' or a snowmobile suit for the ride over to Rudy's.  :coolsmiley:

Great turnout tonight. Good to see everyone. Like Tom said, as long as you were riding north or south, the wind didn't matter, but east/west was typical Texas spring with gusts up to 30 mph.

Thanks to Woody for providing a blessing for the bikes.

  Here's the group that decided to test their internal wind gauges.  :cooldude:

Starting with Sidecar.  Then there's Rainmaker, Speedo, Yoda Master, Houdini & daughter, Christbiker,

  Valkpilot, Wheelman, mugmarine's wife (and mugmarine) and Randall...  and of course ME!  8)
