TWT Fall Rally 06

Forums New posts
Thanks so much to STRider for coordinating the trip. It went as smooth as a trip with 21 riders, hail, rain, and cold can go. I had a great time, and was so glad to meet other riders from TwTex. I hope to see y'all again!

We missed you kocook

I'll second that! This is the largest group ride I've been on, but it was but by far the smoothest.

Redd and Texian, I want dibs on the Hawk if you decide to sell it whole. My wife needs a bike.:trust::trust:

I'll mark it down. ;-) I'm running a couple of plans through my head, and selling it off is definitely an option.

Before I forget...
It was really nice seeing everyone.
also, great riding with some new people....Wes, Don, Roger, Allan/Debbie, Jon, Mike, Hugh/Beth....(?think that's it?)
It was great fun.:clap:
 
Thanks, Sarah. I missed all of you, too. Sorry to hear about your get-off-- but so, so glad to hear that you did so well.
 
Thanks Matt.I will not post the picture I have of the nameless one picking up a black GS.Thanks to Scott for hauling me up there and back.Thanks to Stuart for sittingup front so I could fall asleep when Scott started rambling about free market,politics, religion,fuel prices,marriage, raising kids,etc.Thanks to Hugh for slowing down enough to let me watch how you ride.Thanks to Paul for letting me ride the speed triple.thanks to stuart for letting me ride his FZ1.Thanks to hugh for letting me ride his KTM.Thanks to Scott for letting me ride his KLR.I guess I should change my user name to Squeaky leeroy.Thanks to Mark and Sarah for the Comedy relief.Hope you are feeling good Sarah.I will quit now as this is way past my personel guideline on the length of a post.

Good reports and pics, so no one did any water crossings?:lol2:

None that I know of, and Scott and Hugh would be the only water crossing candidates on this trip. Did you guys sneak one or two in there at the back of the pack??

Speaking of Hugh (vfrhugh): There's nothing quite so demoralizing as pushing your liter class street bike through a corner at a high rate of speed, thinking "wow, I'm really cookin' though this corner, and look how fast and smooth I am", and then getting passed on the outside by Hugh on a knobby-clad Katoom thumper.:giveup: Hugh, I bow before you.:hail: I'm not worthy.:hail:

At least this time you weren't snapping photos as you passed.;-):lol2:

Beth and I had a great trip also! We left Mont Belvieu Thursday and stopped in Greenville to visit relatives. Our hotel room had this photo by the room number. I took it as a good omen.

We arrived in Eureka Springs early enough for me to make a quick run to Ozark and back before dark. Since it was not the best road conditions for the VFR I took the KTM. I came upon the aftermath of a small twister about 20 miles South of Eureka Springs. I doubt it felt to small the family living in the house.

I almost got out of Arkansas unscathed but Monday morning revealed this on the passenger side door.

At least I know they broke their taillight. My trip cost went up a little. Don’t ya just hate that first door ding!!

Thanks again great trip and kudos’ to Matt for the hard work. I really do appreciate the effort that went into the trip. Thanks also to Matt’s helpers on the trip.

I am jealous of you all.
Glad Sarah came out of it in good shape overall. I dont think I can look at the pics of the lil hawk tho. heh.

Glad everyone came thru the trip well. Rain or shine Arkansas can be fun to ride. I remember riding the pig trail in the evening in a rain storm and an 18 wheeler in front of me and one behind me. It was actually a fun ride in the wet and dark

Man, I was gonna post up about wanting the lil hawk if they get rid of it, but I thought it may be too soon to ask. heh
Oh well, if it happens to be available, I may be interested in the lil hawk or even parts if it comes to that.

:tab The Squid Machine really does alter your DNA and cause tentacles to start wiggling out from under your jacket... It does not help that there is no speedo or tach, so you are really flying by the seat of your pants... I do think I squirted a little black cloud at one turn though... :wary: :oops: Chasing down the group on Matt's "not a wrong turn" was a real hoot :twisted:
 
If anyone has pics of my bike, I would love a copy. Mark didn't get any pics (he wasn't sure if I wanted proof or not);-)

Thanks Vaughn, we will keep you in mind.

Anyone know anything about the Honda 599?
 
Sarah, I have lots of pics of your bike along with gawking bystanders and what appears to a woman who just lost a mud-wrestling competition.

I will get them uploaded to my computer tonight.

After calculating the number of frames per second and the distance traveled...I come up with 24.7 mph! :lol2: :trust:

BTW, I'll PM you later tonight.

ehhh--

It's really all about the guy on the GS...No, I mean the RC... No, I mean the other guy on the GS & the RC...No, not BOTH guys on the GS...

Aw heck. It was really somebody who rode the Katoom.

The photographic evidence supports the theory that I was not involved in the events that didn't happen.

And btw, my speed was 25.7. I want every mph I can get.;-);-)
