I will NOT be taking the Valkyrie to Bobz on Saturday. The weather forecast says morning temp on Sat. is in the upper 30's with high in the mid 40's. I am a candyass and I don't ride when it is under 50 degrees.

JDW365 · Thu 08, Oct 2009, 09:46:11

My work schedule is not looking good right now to make it, but should know more tomorrow. JDW

JDW365 · Thu 22, Oct 2009, 10:37:24

Okay Ks Riders we talked a while back about a ride to Hutch for the Salt Museum and the Dutch Kitchen on the November 7th. Just checking if any one is still interested.

JDW

motomama · Thu 22, Oct 2009, 10:40:29

I would be interested! Let's just hope the weather will cooperate!

JDW365 · Thu 22, Oct 2009, 10:52:23

I was thinking if we could get a number idea I would call the Dutch Kitchen and the salt Mine and see what I could get set up. So far I have You, Carl?, Stude31(his idea), Cyndi and I, who else? JDW

Hold tight on my rsvp.... I work friday and saturday night. Let me check tonight when I go in "if" I can get off or not. I think it will be a good time even if we have to ride in cages. It's the visit that counts (for 50% of it

he he ). I'll let you know tomorrow John.

Black Pearl's Captain · Thu 22, Oct 2009, 14:00:40

Raymond and RHonda have had it in the plans for a while so yes we plan to be there. We may also have 2 or 5 more with us.

Good point Capt, didn't think of that, although my wife would certianly agree with you! That makes it a lot easy to work out as well. Salt Mine at 10, leisurely. Then move to the Dutch Kitchen for a good lunch and spend sometime kicking tires and telling lies, Stude31 will probably talk about his "Best Hamburger in the world" at some closed up burg in Allen. Maybe we could start planning December's ride then, everyone bring an idea! JDW

Stude as far as I know it's planned. I plan to be at the saltmine Nov. 7th at 10 by bike or car if it's snowing. We can do the mine then go eat wherever we decide to go. Does that sound like enough plans?

Does anyone want to meet up in Newton or north Wichita to ride over somewhat together? I was thinking I would leave Andover and head for Newton to meet anyone else.

Raymond

JDW365 · Fri 30, Oct 2009, 21:28:58

I am in the air with my job right now.

I will know better for me closer to thursday or friday.

Sorry I can not get any firmer than that right now. 10 am at the Salt Mine is what I had in mind. Sounds like maybe ten of us or so depending on the weather should not be a problem getting in anywhere to eat. And by the way Raymond, QUIT using that four letter word SNOW! If I can make it we can meet here at Newton and ride over from here no problem.

JDW

1fastbob · Fri 30, Oct 2009, 22:07:23

I discussed this with Valkhound and he plans on being there also. 10 AM would be fine.

Gunslinger · Sat 31, Oct 2009, 04:01:39

Put myself and Firestarter down as Definitely, Probably, Possibly, Maybe's.

Family has plans that weekend, but if we can swing it I would love to make a Nov trip. I might be able to guilt Roadkill and his wife into going as well.

Maybe you will have better luck getting Roadkill to come!! It's been bad timing every time I try to bring him along.... Miss ya RK!!! Hope you can make it.... Haven't seen you since InZane and you only live an hour away (sigh)...

I'm in!! I am not sure if I am riding or caging it just yet... Have to see about weather first. I haven't found a set of ski's for the bike yet...

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

1fastbob · Mon 02, Nov 2009, 18:23:02

I haven't seen a post regarding whether this get together is officially set up. I would like some clarification from the organizer. What is the status of this meeting in Hutchinson, Kansas. Is it go or no go. If it is go the when?

Thanks

New subject, ride report. Met with egnmet and stude for lunch today in Junction City. Great little cafe in Grandview just west of Fort Riley. Note to self, don't leave your cold weather gear in the interstate and ride the tourer in November in Kansas! Hoser

JDW365 · Mon 02, Nov 2009, 20:06:27

Good seeing you and "the kid" Hoser. I never saw the sun coming home till I pulled in the drive, go figure never trust the weather men they know not what they talk of!! Yeah I know I am a slow learner. JDW

Were ON!

I think the plan is meet at the Salt Mine about 10 am, come by bike, car, dog sled, however you want. After the Salt Mine, we'll go eat lunch. It's a pretty ridged schedule, but I think we can make it work.

Not a real organized event just a get together for fellowship!

stude31 · Mon 02, Nov 2009, 20:43:24

You two (hoser/Engemt) would have left your head at home if it wasn't connected!!!

You guys are "suppose" to be wiser than us young whipper snappers... What happened today... You both failed to remember to bring clothes for the possible conditions!! It's fall you can't go off of what a weather man says... Of all people I am so disappointed in the two of you!!!!

Leave it to the young one to teach the oldies.... $:-\$ Guess I shouldn't say that too loud most of you in here are older than me? (looking around the room

) Ummmm it looks like I said too much $:-\$ Oh well come get me with your walker... I can out run you!!!

Seriously, I had a great time and as always good to see you guys. Hoser, glad I could pull you away from your duties!! I failed to do that for Motomama, she stuck to her guns and didn't come...

See you guys and gals saturday! Fyi... wear warmer gear!!!!

Black Pearl's Captain · Tue 03, Nov 2009, 10:39:26

Salt mine ride plans for Raymond and RHonda. We will be leaving the Park City Quik Trip at 8:30. We will head north 18 miles to Newton and make a quick stop at S. Kansas street and SE 14th in Newton (Broadway). Per Google Maps there is an Autozone there. We will be there right about 8:50, not a stop just a pass thru to pickup anyone who wants to meet there.

From there we will head west on 50 to the Kansas Underground Salt Mine muesem, it's 30.4 more miles. The Salt mine is on East ave. G street. We do not have any special arrangements with the muesem so we will just buy our tickets and wait in line with whoever may be there. FYI I called the salt mine, tours go down every 40 minutes starting at 9:20. The second tour down will go down at 10:00 so lets try to be there by 9:45 and get in the 10:00 tour. Next tour down would be at 10:40.

Does anyone want to buy tickets now for the 10:00 tour?

After the Salt mine we will discuss lunch plans with whoever else is there.

It's supposed to 73 degrees so it's gonna be a nice day for a ride.

Please post here if I should look for you somewhere on my route.

Raymond

Blackduck KS · Tue 03, Nov 2009, 12:02:23

I will be at the Q trip at 8:30 AM.

Black Pearl's Captain · Tue 03, Nov 2009, 12:49:28

I bought my tickets today. 28 in a group go down so get yours now. 10:00 tour. There are 24 tickets left as of now.

Call the Kansas Undeground Salt mine at: 866-755-3450 and get the 10:00 tour Saturday.

Raymond

Blackduck KS · Tue 03, Nov 2009, 14:11:17

Oh boy, what a weekend coming up. Wife has to go to the butt inspector Friday morning for colonoscopy, mom is in ICU in Liberal and may be released Friday or Saturday. I still might make it but, it's not looking good.

Hoser & I hooked up today at his place and rode to Madison, Ks. There were over 50 bikes there for the Retired Old Motocyclists Eating Out (ROMEO's). Had a great time. By the time I got back home this evening I logged around 350 miles. Great day for riding.
