Pie Run Report - Sam's in Fairfield

[LeanN2It]

The weather looked doubtful last night and early this morning, but it really turned out to be a great day! The wind was "interesting" a few times but I will take wind over rain any day.

My roundtrip was around 250 miles and mostly highway as there aren't alot of options from the Denton area and I had to be back at a decent time. But it was still great to be out on the bike on a pretty day.

Most of the folks started rolling in around 11

It looked like a pretty good turnout today

Lots of cool bikes today

I am kinda partial to this one

I had a great lunch with Brian and Allen and the staff at Sam's was as awesome as always. Look forward to the next one.

It was a great day for a ride, and as always to eat at Sam's. Thanks to JackInTexas for an excellent after dinner ride, I clocked 350 miles of fragrant flowers, twisty back roads, and beautiful scenery.

It was so very wonderful to get out and ride today! Went to Fairfield with the crew out of Bedford and Cleburne on a sweet route where we got to ride around fallen trees and take on some curves. Thanks to Dano for leading!

I rode back with a group of Burg People and a Bandit. I didn't care if the wind blew, I was smiling!!! Thanks guys for letting me join you.

It was so nice to see old friends and meet some new ones.

Back home after 157 mile on the way down, 168 on the way back. More uphill, I guess.

Debbie, Phil, Jack thanks for sharing lunch with me.

One observation after two months of data gathering .

Pie runs cause windy conditions.

See you all at the all Strom RTE.

My scooter and I got to ride home on a big flatbed truck. My belt shredded when I was thirty miles from home. Thanks to AMA road assistance the trip was totally covered. And a big thanks to Mike for waiting with me until the truck came

 

[Soozy]

Aw Rasz!! That is horrible. I am so sorry you went through that.

 

[PKGuy323]

Dang-sorry to hear that. It was great to meet you and learn that secret handshake.

Good to know AMA came to the rescue as I have their coverage yet haven't used it yet.

I'm home after 402 miles for a great hamburger steak and chocolate pie. Not sure how well this will work, but I tried to make Chuck proud with some pixel snapping of the days activities.

Today's destination:

Some folks like to squeeze every last mile from their tires:

Those are cool pictures, Scott. Now go back and put screen names on all of them so we know who they are.

Makes me wonder, if you'd come back with us it might not have happened

Kidding of course. I'm glad it worked out that well. It makes me feel good about jumping ship from AAA to AMA. I did that when AAA couldn't find anyone who could put gas in a motorcycle Wonder if they have problems with emptying boots?

I had no pie and didn't take a pic of my strawberries (absolutely PERFECT ones, btw).

Good stuff, Scott!

 

[Robin]

Good stuff, Scott!

Oh yea, meant to say, you were a great Chuck-for-a-Day.

 

[dfwscotty]

Ditto Scott

Really great arrival shots!

 

[M38A1]

Some misc. shots of the line-up. I think I counted 50 +/- bikes.

Of all those shots riding into Sam's, I think the only one you missed was Collin riding my ZR7S!

No proof.

And what would a pie-run be without people?

I got a text from Jack "jackntexas" this morning saying that our ride was on. Along w/ Jack, I met up with Phillip "Pkiser", James Cain & Dave from Huntsville (not sure about his user name) and we headed out around 9:10. We did a nice loop and arrived about 2 hours later. It turned out to be a great day but once in Fairfield I realized why I should always take my allergy meds. Thank goodness the gift shop had some. It was nice to meet some new people & also see some familiar faces.

After lunch Jack, James & I headed out for some more great riding. Jack got the "Squeaky u-turn" out of the way quickly at the Fairfield Reservior. James got separated for a moment while day dreaming but I know that we both enjoyed the roads that Jack chose. Thank you Jack for leading the way. I logged in about 310 miles and can't believe I didn't take a single

Here are my pics. Blueburg (Bill), SA Strom (Brian), bmcdonau (Dennis), DBL (David) and Carl (screen name unknown) rode to Fairfield from San Antonio and Austin. We met up in Rockdale and rode up 77 and 79. A good time was had by all.

I had a great time riding down from DFW with the Burgman group along with Rasz on her Z9 and Jasen on his Bandit. 337 miles by the time I got back home. I did remember to take a picture of my pie this time but I couldn't decide on what to get so I had both apple and pecan:

Those are cool pictures, Scott. Now go back and put screen names on all of them so we know who they are.
