What a fine day for a ride! Foggy all morning, shiny all afternoon. Started from my sweetie's house in South Houston (MsBehavin got called in to work) about 8:15 to try to catch the group leaving 1960 and 249 at 9. I waited at the Exxon (there was no designated corner to meet) for 20 min or so, then took off following their planned route about 10 after 9. I caught up to what appeared to be a group of three harleys which were dealing with a road-raging pickup by riding 10-15 mph under the limit - I kept back a safe distance until 1375 opened up, then gave the old Connie the reins! I rolled into Crockett about 11:20, and since the designated hour wasn't until 12, I topped off my tank (3.4 gal/144 mi for 42.3 mpg). Pulled into the Square to find 50 or 60 bikes on all sides of the Square, and pandelerium in the Moosehead - from the front looking back:
and from the back looking forward:
Don't let these pics fool you - by the time the food came out, there were a LOT of riders there!
I had a bite to eat and met Russell from Plano. I headed back after visiting some of the array of bikes in attendance - Beemerbob's Ural got a lot of attention, and there was a group which included (among others) a giant Victory bagger and TWO Hayabusas with stretched swingarms.
'Twas a beautiful day for a ride back to Houston - 45 was not that heavy, nor was 610, and both were very fast...THanks for Pie, and welcome to Leon/Focus Frenzy, Pie Man 3.14. Y'all have a great New Year!
