Thanks Ray, was hoping to see this post soon! Already had it marked on my calender!

Have you ever seen such a dirty bike?

You'd think Disco would have washed that bike before heading down to Dripping Springs!

Here's some more pics from last year...

Disco · Mon 06, Dec 2010, 19:54:02

Thanks for the heads-up, Ray!

I may have a conflict 18-20 Feb, but if I free up, I'll be there. That was a great time!

After numerous washings since last Feb, and several thousand miles in the rain last summer, I'm sure there are still hidden areas just coated with Lime Creek Road silt.

Oh, and if you think mine was dirty, you should have seen TJ's that weekend. I almost didn't recognize him as we passed each other and waved in Tolar!

Rocketman · Tue 07, Dec 2010, 09:03:05

It wasn't dirty, it was just a uniform gray paint job!
(The layer on the front of my pods was at least a 1/4 inch thick...)

Amazing how dirty we all got - in just a few hundred feet - on Lime Creek Road!

QOTFU · Thu 09, Dec 2010, 09:06:15

I'm in!

Old Geezer Richard · Sat 11, Dec 2010, 11:44:11

Thank you Ray for the heads - up me and Mrs. Geezer ( Lisa ) ain't gonna miss this one .... Holly Moley can't wait

... Thanks the Geezer

Mr.BubblesVRCCDS0008 · Sat 11, Dec 2010, 18:11:29

Denise and I will be there if at all possible.

Super Santa · Sun 12, Dec 2010, 21:21:22

Maris, make sure the Sherwood's and others who joined us last year are aware. Thanks in advance.

Lyn-Del · Tue 14, Dec 2010, 20:02:13

Wizard plans to be there. Unfortunately an annual conference is that weekend this year. I stand a good chance of seeing you folks at other times this year, but won't have another chance to hear these folks speak, so I'm going to the conference. Have fun without me!

I remember that weekend. Cleaned on it for 6 months it seemed. Every time I pulled a cover there was more. Disco was the only bike I saw after leaving Forth Worth that day. At the time I didn't recognize that grey Valkyrie, it wasn't untill I looked in my mirrow's and saw some yellowish tint's

Anybody can your read my license #?

BnB Tom · Sun 19, Dec 2010, 09:32:24

If memory serves me correctly (and it doesn't very often OR very well),
that was the road that led to the demise of Disco's U-joints. . .

which resulted in this infamous picture

I live 3.5 miles down a Missouri Gravel Road and my bike was NEVER THAT Dirty, What did you do, GO MUDDIN"!!!!

5_19 · Sun 19, Dec 2010, 11:51:25

QuoteWhat did you do, GO MUDDIN"!!!!

I went on the "Long John Ride" which is held annually in Fort Worth. It was about a 75 mile ride and one of the paved roads had oil field construction along the road for about 10 miles. If I remember right it was one of those misty just above freezing mornings and all the mud had thawed to a nice slush and once we got there and you realized whats happening is already too late to turn back

That's all I got to say about that!

grizs50 · Sun 19, Dec 2010, 17:23:12

So you did go Muddin"!!

Grizs50,
I don't want to hijack this thread. Are you going to the Mid-Winter gathering? As for me date is not good yet, something I have to work on!

Actually BnB, it was at the Gatherin' of the Fools when Disco's U-Joint gave way....

He did however, find more Lime Creek Road silt from the Mid-Winter Gathering under his saddle bags even though it was six weeks later!

grizs50 · Sun 19, Dec 2010, 22:04:22

As much as I would like to be there I will probly be in Missouri at that time! Sounds like an awesome party!!!

Super Santa · Tue 21, Dec 2010, 19:56:57

I will be making a trip to the Austin area this coming weekend and hope to finalize lodging arrangements at that time. Hopefully by this time next week we will have it all in place.

Stay tuned for updates.
