Sunday ride...

[_Sheffjs_]

Meeting in San Antonio in the square by the church at 10:00;  Gil & Crystal,
Jerry & Sherry, John Paul and prolly Billyboy....anyone else?

[Flrider]

I would like to try and make it. I know where San Antonio is but could I get a little more detail on the meeting with place, maybe an address or intersection ?
I will be coming from Kissimmee

Thanks

[IamGCW]

I think the Church address in the square is 32848 Massachusetts Ave, San Antonio, FL 33576.

Use caution on approach, if I am there it is possible there will be lightning (being me and a Church) 

Gil

[billyboy]

That will be a yuper-do.      See ya then. I'll be the one on the dirty Valk.   

[billyboy]

Hey Doug And Jimmy; you want to come out and play.     

[FloridaValkRyder]

.....a yuper-do.   ....

What the heck is a yuper-do?  ???

[James III]

 Rode 2200 miles this last weekend, the Time Machine needs a bath, good check over on the lift and remove my extra tank. Would like to join you all but just have miss this one.  Hope to see everyone at the gathering on the 19th. 
Ride safe and have fun. Weather is looking fine!

     I believe the street name has been changed from Massachusetts and is now ST Anthony Way. The church has a 9:00 AM service which normally is exiting at 10:00 and a 10:30 mass . The parking in front of the church could be sparse as well as busy in the time you mention .  It may be less congested to meet across the square . There isquite a bit of  parking along Pennsylvania Ave and in front of the Post Office (still on the square just on the oppisite side from the church/school) .  (yea I live in San Ann)

     Sorry I can't meet ya'll . I am all set to go on a credit union charity ride . One of these days we'll catch up with ya'll . Have a great ride .

     

[_Sheffjs_]

Well I guess we should just drive the entire Circle and find a good spot  we will be there somewhere

[_Sheffjs_]

Ok drive the entire square.  Ignore me

[IamGCW]

If you see a yuper-do stop and wait for the others that are circling the square.   

Gil

[IamGCW]

Crystal and Gil are back in the house.  Will post pictures when time allows.

Thanks to Jerry and Sherrie, Jack, Billie Boy and one forgotten name for the fun ride and lunch. 

Gil

[_Sheffjs_]

[F6MoRider]

Had a great meet up and ride today. Thanks for puting up with me and thanks Greg for
riding tail gunner. Greg and I went to the Hess to gas up and check out the bikes and looking around and there he was-------sitting on a riding lawn mower with a flat tire eating ice cream
looking down and checking out his new shoes and looking closer and closer and then dam near
fell off the thing. Man we were laughing our asses off.    Well we couldn't leave just yet being we wanted to see him get closer to the ground. I know I know,but you had to be there.
But he hung in there like a trooper.     Man I was so proud of him. Jerry you trying
get me another speeding ticket. I saw the error of my ways you know.  
Anyway thanks again and I promise not to use the same restroom in the park before you Sherry.
    HE HE HE  Well I guess you just had to be there. Talk soon.  


 

[_Sheffjs_]

Ok Billy ---what the flap!! Or maybe Greg needs to explain this one. And Billy, Sherry says she is going to slap you next ride.

[billyboy]

You mean like she did you.    

[F6MoRider]

Yepper, out behind the Hess station, next to the multiple diesel fuel pumps, sat a guy on a riding lawn mower, with a rear tire that was almost flat, parked in the shade.  He had a beverage and was just sitting in the seat, with the deck lowered, as if he was going to start mowing. As he drank his beverage, he was observed fighting off sleep.  He sat, slumped over, his head would slowly fall until it snapped and he awoke for a brief moment, just long enough to take a sip, before he repeated the process.  We were watching like someone watching a tightrope walker waiting for him to fall off and hit the pavement.  

About 15 minutes went by when, after another almost fall off, he dismounted and whet inside the Hess...and after bouncing off the walls as he navigated his way around to the door on the other side of the building...

He returned to his trusty steed a few minutes later with a cup of ice cream and remounted.  five minutes later, he was repeating his previous behavior ...taking a bite of ice cream, fighting sleep while dropping his head until almost falling off, waking up, repeating.

Frankly, other than wondering why he was sitting there on a mower with a flat, I was amazed he never dropped his beverage or his ice cream.  I know he was fully asleep many times even if it was only for a few seconds.

I think we found the elusive Yuper-do but didn't realize we were observing him in his natural habitat.  I'm going back next Saturday to see if he brings Mrs. Yuper-do, that is if Youper-do's mate.

[billyboy]

I like the yuper times. Ya got to love it.     Sherry;  Pappy's bringing down the Jello so don't blame me.   roll:  What!!!!!!!!     

[Flrider]

It was a great day and a great ride

Met at 10:00 and chatted for a while and then Jerry led the way and took off and I mean it when I say "took off"  
No complaints here brother, you can lead anytime, I'll be right there with you    

It is great listening to all the stories and laughing, enjoyed the good company and the ride, THANKS guys and gals for making the newbie feel welcomed  

Billy, what can I say brother, you sure make it fun.  
I am waiting for you to post that selfie

Nice meeting you Greg,  
Jerry, Sherrie, Gil and Crystal, see you next Sat  

[billyboy]

OH!!!!! I forgot to tell you. On 52 & Eharn Cut Off a state tropper had a bunch of squids pulled
over. Well a few HD'S in the mix I guess they didn't haul ass. I guess I fell a bit better.  
Man what a cool day.  

[F6MoRider]

It was a great day and a great ride

+1

Could not agree more!  It was good to meet you, Jack, and hope we didn't scare you with our craziness.  Look forward to riding again.

[IamGCW]

Billy
At Pine Island (aka Siberia) we spotted a valk in your base color with a black fairing.  But the saddlebags were Green/cream ones.  Guess you're off the "paint that thing" hook (for now). 

Meeting at the North end of the park was great, for others that choose that location to meet. Billy reported the lady's restroom was one of the cleanest he had used.  Or something like that.   

Also Billy, where is that "selfie" picture from the rest room?

There was no lightning when I rode the church parking lots (sinners it is safe).

[_Sheffjs_]

Yeah wasn't that motorcycle that we saw at Pine Island Billy's cousin?  Why did we not take a pic of that bike.  It looked exactly like your motorcycle Billy except the green and cream bags!

[_Sheffjs_]

I agree with gill on the meeting place. We need to save the address of the house across the street from where we parked. 32841 Pennsylvania Ave, San Antonio, FL.

[IamGCW]

Sherrie looking for Easter eggs.             

Jerry and Jack with the Billy Boy look alike bike (Pine Island, Fl).       

Hernando Beach park

[billyboy]

Glad you guys had a good ride to the far west. I kinda get nose bleed when I get on US-19.
Great group pic any vids on Sunday.    

[Flrider]

Sherrie looking for Easter eggs.             

Gil

I don't think Sherrie will do what you ask, ever again 

Maybe I'll bring my GoPro next time and see what kind of trouble we can get into or get others into 

[IamGCW]

Jack

I think they Facebooked the video of you two passing me on 50.  Or I can send it to you.

Gil

[Flrider]

Jack

Gil

Gave up on Facebook a while back, send it to me if you can.

I'll bring mine next time and shoot you guys as well.

[Flrider]

 Sherrie,

I can't believe Gil posted a pic of you like that  ???  

Here, let me help   

[Pappy!]

Absolute beautiful ride!  15 minutes never lasted so long. 

F6MoRider.

Sure am glad I haven't heard THAT one yet!!

[reclaimerroger]

Sounds and looks like you guys had way too much fun.
I had loads of fun today riding through snow all the way from Va. W.Va. border until home.
Low here tonight to be 19 blowing snow right now.  Why oh why did I leave Florida.  The poor Gold Wing is in the back of the pickup.  At least the Valk is in the trailer.  Supposed to warm up quickly.  Might get to ride by the weekend.  Stay safe all.

[IamGCW]

Roger

You were missed.  Where is CW?  Maybe he could join us Saturday.

Gil

[James III]

Jeeze Guy's sorry I missed this one! Looks like a great time you all had! Excellent weather!

James

[reclaimerroger]

Hi Gil,  CW left for Ill. a couple of weeks ahead of  us. 
The snow all melted today and it is supposed to be in the 60's by Friday.  I will be riding.

[_Sheffjs_]

I am just catching up on all these replies from LAST week, and now I can't believe Gil got ANOTHER pic
