Texas get together
 

Ok folks so once again I am planning on gracing the great state of texas with my presence. last time I did only one of you were compelled to come out and meet me, however this time will be different.

I will be in San Antonio the week of 16-20 november I will probably add a day or 2 on either the front or back of that week to sightsee, and since most of you are in or near Austin I will probably just take the drive up that way maybe spend a night in the area, or if someone has a bike they are willing to lend me we can go riding.

I have a little place between Austin and San Antonio.... it likes bikes.

its still a long way off, I just wanted to announce my impending visit

:bigrofl:

Alas, I'll be downrange this time... looks like unless someone else takes pity and hangs out with ya, you're hosed. :lol:

Well if you want us to hang out with you, don't disagree with Moira.

I didn't disagree, I've seen pics of her small place and I like what i see. That sounded way worse than I meant it to.

:lol:

It's all good. Nov is a great time of year too. You gonna be at Ft Sam again?

Fred, it's all good man.... truly.

We like planning ahead.

I live about 2 miles from Moira's little playground of fun...:)

You're welcome to crash at the house if you need a place to stay I'm about 20 minutes south of downtown Austin.

Be great to have a beer with you if nothing else....

No, I'm staying at the one hotel next to the mall that is at the river walk, I think its a crown plaza, but I'm not sure.

Last time I was there I tried to rent a bike, but the only thing I could find was a little 100cc scooter and there was no way in hell I was gonna ride one of those from San antoino to Austin. Instead I just met with Caroline at some bar that was doing a bike night

HA! I don't think so. We aren't renting my house out to strangers on this forum.

But we can go riding if you find a bike...

Looks like I'll be in town from the 15th thru the 28th of Nov, and I'm contemplating renting either a sporty or a vrod that friday into saturday, and possibly sunday. Though depending on finances I'll either be looking for a couch or a shady motel, the type of place where I bring my own sheets and shower shoes.

Excellent.

I have a trackday on Black Friday - the Friday after Turkey day. Though, I'm out there at the track a few days a week. So, give me a shout when you're here.

I live about an hour North of there, so I can't help much with somewhere to stay.

O man. You still believe in that "Stranger Danger" stuff?

go with the vrod ;) much more fun than the sporty

You're right, I should just open my home to people I just come across on the street.

It's much safer!

Especially when they're carrying.

and your bed :P

I call first pillow.

I'm here in san antonio. If anyone can get out thursday night I can drive up to austin or somewhere within a 1 or 1 1/2 hour ride. I get done on thursday at 430, and can be on the road by 5.

Let me know and I'll PM my number

Not sure what anyone else has planned, but my vote is we go to the Flying Saucer. www.beerknurd.com :D

I sent heather my number. Yes, all you bitches will be there!

Sorry kids, my eldest is getting braces that morning and Evan comes home that afternoon... I'm out.

I'm out too... that whole trans-Atlantic flight thing. Oh yeah, and they would probably feel some sorta way if I just tried to leave. :lol:

Nonsense.
Just send through some bogus paperwork and by the time they got it all sorted out you'd be back. :lol:

For anyone else that is lurking and wants to come out we are going to the Saucer tonight.

I will probably get there around 6:30ish or so but I've been telling everyone 7. Lori, if you get there before me get a big table. :wink:

How long are you in town for Fred? I'll be in Austin this weekend. I'll be busy during the day on Saturday, but later Saturday night I might be able to get out for a bit. Not sure yet. I'll be in south Austin so I can meet ya halfway or somethin' if that's easier.

I'm on a no-beer diet for a little while, so I'll have to stick with water. LOL

Flying today

good times. thanks for driving up derf.

Nice meeting you! have a good trip home...
