Kansas Riders thread.

John, Stu (or anyone else in the area for that matter)
I hope to be doing some wrenching myself this week as I'll have parts in and plan to dig into a few rear ends. My new tires should be in so I'll be making a trip to Topeka to pick up the front and get them both mounted as well. Need to swap hard bags onto the wife's new standard and some toher odds and ends.

If you make it through the Wamego area give me a holler and I'll buy you a drink!

What time are you looking at getting to Cassoday? I maybe in I will have to check the work board in the a.m. to see. I to could use a ride and some face time with friends!

[tybme]

Barring any unforeseen circumstances - I'm in. See you at C store about 7:30
I'll post if I can't make it for some reason - and no, a little rain in the air or the forecast won't stop me.

[stude31]

I could use a ride as well.....  I get off work at 7am so I probably couldn't get out that way until 745 or so....  I will post again in the morning to confirm.

Should get in about 9 or 930, John.  Hoser

[tybme]

Well the radar picture looks mixed, most of it could stay west of the i35 corridor but if it slides east it will be very wet. Any opinions yet this morning?

[stude31]

ah ha ha ha.... Yeah my boss just called me on the phone and said "Your not riding today, it is raining clear down to Texas, and the weather.com says 80% chance of rain".  I replied with "Yeah but I am counting on the 20% chance that it won't!"     

[Hoser]

Don't look good, does it.  hoser

[stude31]

Hey so let it rain... How bout we meet for breakfast somewhere...  we can drive a cage to stay dry.  Any suggestions?  I know of a few good places to eat in topeka area... Not sure if they are open or not...  Brad's Cafe in north topeka or Cafe at Billard Airport (north topeka area).  What do you think... 

[tybme]

I'm in and to hell with the rain. I'm gonna finish getting dressed - hop on the bike and run for Topeka. I'll check the boards when I get there to see who's going where or someone give me a call at 81seven-105six

[Hoser]

[Gunslinger]

Heck, I'm in! I just saw this, but can be in topeka / auburn in 45 min or so.

Where ya headed?

[tybme]

Home with a good rain the last 30 miles or so.
It was great meeting all of you and I can't wait until the next time.

[Gunslinger]

We made it home about the same time Ty, With about the same amount of miles in the rain. LOL

Was a good ride, I needed to get out and see some new friends, It was good to get Kerri out for a ride again too.

All in all for an impromptu meet 'n ride with the remnants of a tropical storm hanging over us it was a pretty good day. Cool temps, not too much rain and a couple hundred miles in places I haven't seen in a while. Thanks to everyone, and I home Joe is ok 

[Hoser]

Good ride, guys, nice to make new friends..  hoser

[stude31]

Okay... Short notice but wanted to check in on the Kansas riders to see who all was heading down to Cassoday,ks tomorrow for the ride in?  I haven't heard that it is cancelled looks like from what I can tell it is still on.  I work tonight but will be heading down as soon as I get off at 7am.

Hope to see you guys down there! 

[tybme]

I'll be going down with a group that is promoting the ride for the red cross but I don't have set plans on getting back. Would love to meet some more Kansas riders!

Should be a slower day at Cassoday with the ABATE event going on at lake Perry.

[JDW365]

Well I got to spend the day on a train , woohoo NOT ! So how was the ride to Cassidy and where is the report and pictures!  Hope everyone had a great time and day.

[stude31]

Well Engemt,

It was a good ride out.  I got off work at 7am and we took the back roads down.  Stopped and grabbed breakfast and then made it down to CASSODAY (you would think someone living just an hour away new how to spell the city!  , sorry couldn't resist it    )

Well I tried to locad "WDValk" but no such luck.  Next time Wayne    It was good to see Dana hadn't been able to catch up with him this year so that was my extent of viewing the bikes.  I got off the bike and found "johnny on the spot" and then visited with Dana.  We then left and headed north back to Hays House to eat lunch and then we departed and headed home.  I think I rolled in just about 4pm.   It was good times.  Here are the only two pictures I managed to take.  They were us as we left Cassoday and was heading to eat.  I had to take a leak and of course all the gas stations were packed so we pulled into a park area and found a John (no pun intended JOHN).   So that is when I took these pictures.  Ty it was good to visit and eat with you and ride back home...

Good times and good fellowship 

[Hoser]

Well, I didn't see you guys, but I saw your bikes.  My Grandson rode with me, pics are on the following thread.  Hoser
