[Austin city limits]

You were right on the phone Coop,,, it was worth digging through all the post just to read the "Fred Song"!!! :crackup

[Imrubicon]

Just a bump for a good ride .
PS: the song is killer LOL

[Mellow]

I'm planning on being in Big Bend during this one however, that might fall through and if it does I'll do the Hill Country so I'll be in the vicinity..

[sherob]

I have some days to burn before the end of the year... have to see if the SO will be cool about me doing this :cool:

[ToroGuy]

Company holiday party is Friday night...may have to leave early so I can be well rested to enjoy the LD Dave BBQ spot!!

Don't want to arrive late and miss the group singing of Fred's song. Keith, will you bring your fiddle to keep us on key??

Oh my gosh - I've created a monster - with Coop's help!:D

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Coop]

Dave,
Do we just go anywhere in the Austin area and have lunch or is there a particular place that maybe we all could meet have lunch (does that place cook goat?), sing Fred's song and start trouble? LOL!!

[BlaSTr]

I've been planning a ride to Big Bend around that time. This could cement things for me. Great BBQ, lots o' STs (and a couple of GWs), then the park, then home.

[sherob]

Dave,

We were hoping YOU would just go any place, and we could all meet somewhere :D

[Coop]

YOU won't be there!! That's farther than a Winger will ride for food. LOL!! I can hear Mac typing already!! LOL!!

[sherob]

YOU won't be there!! That's farther than a Winger will ride for food. LOL!! I can hear Mac typing already!! LOL!!

You just opened a can of Plexus :D

[Coop]

It was a new can too!!

[STratus]

I've made the 4th and 5th (the only years I've had my ST) so I expect I'll make the 6th.

[motomac]

Coop, If I'm there, it will be on the ST this year. The conflict is with Big Bend. If we don't do Big Bend I'll be at the BBQ.

[Imrubicon]

Theres always the palce that has chicken fried bacon ..............

[Putt]

Hmmmmmmm :D

Um, Rob, when you left Texas, they locked the gate, threw away the key, and turned off the light....

Putt...

[lddave]

The location is
Louie Mueller BBQ
206 West 2 nd Street
Taylor, Texas
December 8
11:30 am.

[Coop]

Will there be shirt contest too?

[lddave]

Will there be shirt contest too?

Yes plus a mileage contest.
Most miles to Taylor with a fuel log to show the distance.
Fuel log has to have receipts and a log with the beginning location , time , date , and amount of fuel at each fuel stop.
Shirt contest will be judged by me and Preston Beebee.

[sherob]

So... if I bring a nice bottle of something, will it bribe the judges enough to rule Coop's shirt "too loud" :D

[Coop]

I trust Preston, but .........LOL!!

[Coop]

So... if I bring a nice bottle of something, will it bribe the judges enough to rule Coop's shirt "too loud" :D

Fred is bringing you a bottle of "Old Yeller." LOL!!

[sherob]

Fred is bringing you a bottle of "Old Yeller." LOL!!

I got a bottle of "Old Grand Dad" whiskey for you :D

[lddave]

So... if I bring a nice bottle of something, will it bribe the judges enough to rule Coop's shirt "too loud" :D

Rob I can not believe you would use the word bribe, but the judges might except a donation to the 2008 cheapSTOC tequila stockpile.

[Medicine Bear]

Fred is bringing you a bottle of "Old Yeller." LOL!!

Question is - which one? I'm turning out bottles and bottles of "Old Yeller" every day. Want a case, Coop?

Fred :03biker: :confused:

PS I may have to pack it in and let you win one on the shirt contest (although they didn't say whether this was a loud shirt, best shirt, etc. contest).:D

[Coop]

Drink more water and produce Old Yeller Pale? LOL!! No thanks Fred!!

[Medicine Bear]

Drink more water and produce Old Yeller Pale? LOL!! No thanks Fred!!
Oh no! In honor of Sherob's favorite, I'm turning out IPA - I Pee Ale. Helps my song writing, don'tcha know...

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Coop]

Hvae you gottf ane mor of dat medekun?

This one ?

[lddave]

That is is the one.

[Medicine Bear]

I went to the doctor today to find out if I could put partial weight on my broken leg, thereby enabling me to cage it to the BBQ. He allowed as to how there were so many little pieces (apparently it shattered rather than just breaking) that, even though it was healing well, it would be mid-December before I could put any weight on it. I haven't given up yet. My wife may have Dec. 8th off and if she does she's getting a free BBQ lunch in Taylor for driving me there. Ain't I generous? :crackup

As an incentive, I'm going to tell her there's bound to be a red Wing there. :spank1:

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[lddave]

[QUOTE=Medicine Bear I went to the doctor today to find out if I could put partial weight on my broken leg, thereby enabling me to cage it to the BBQ.
Fred [/QUOTE]

Fred hope you can show up, if it looks like you are going to be able to make it I might even leave the KTM at the house and ride the old ST11OO .

[Medicine Bear]

I'm going to do my best. I already have my shirt ready. It's not loud but it's funnier than heck! Unlike Pooc...:crackup

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Imrubicon]

I did a prerun today as its only 20 miles away .
I got the moist brisket and the chipotle Sausage with lemonade. Cisco says thumbs up big time :bow1:
Round rock to Taylor on 79 is still slow going as it down to one lane as they are blacktopping it again(still) .
Seems like that peice of road has been worked on for years LOL:rolleyes:

[Imrubicon]

Didnt go east but north to 29 was fine.
I have a friend that is going past there east for dinner thursday and I will ask him about it

[ST/SV]

Didnt go east but north to 29 was fine.
I have a friend that is going past there east for dinner thursday and I will ask him about itOK, thanks. I'm planning on hitting as many backroads as possible, probably coming up 112 to 79 now, but just checking out the alternatives.

[lddave]

I have not looked at my route but it will include breakfast in Patterson or Fayetteville and then 2 lanes to Taylor.

[lddave]

After eating at Mueller's a few of us are planning on going to Lone Star BMW for their annual open house.

[STill Fiddlin]

I should be there - day was booked but I think we've got things shuffled around. Need to figure out a route...

[Mellow]

A few of us are camping at Garner State Park.. We'll head over there Sat and meet up with folks, should be a nice ride there and back.

[lddave]

Keith depending on your route we might cross paths on the way up there.

[Mick]

I have not looked at my route but it will include breakfast in Patterson or Fayetteville and then 2 lanes to Taylor.

Dave,

As soon as you guys get settled on a time and route from the Houston area, how about posting where you guys are meeting. There's an outside chance I might be able to make it.

Speaking of breakfast, does your new residence of Fulshear have a good breakfast gathering spot yet? The last time I was through there I noticed that there appeared to be a bit of new contruction going on.

[lddave]

Mick as far as the route I will pass it along when I figure it out.
There has been a fair amount of eating establishments opening up here lately.
There is Essence House and Texas Traditions is scheduled to open soon. I like Garretts off 359 between Brookshire and Patterson. In Simonton Ropers is open again.
Maybe it is time for a breakfast meet and ride afterward.

[Coop]

Dave,
Let's meet up in Snyder and ride in together!!

[lddave]

Dave,
Let's meet up in Snyder and ride in together!!


No Coop too many tourist on the road to the travel mecca you live in.

[Coop]

I was afraid of that!! LOL!!

[lddave]

Coop I have been thinking about riding to Amarillo and trying one of those 74 oz steaks.
What you think steakSTOC ?

[sherob]

[sherob]

Only 425 miles from Brighton :D

[Coop]

I'm betting his jaws wear out first!!

[Medicine Bear]

Well, it looks as if my wife can't get off from work on the 8th so I won't be getting to Taylor just yet. Sure would like to have seen all you fine people, Coop's shirt, and had some legendary BBQ.

I am so very disheartened.:(

The sad part is that, on the 13th, the doc is very likely to give me driving privileges. Five days late and a dollar short...

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[motomac]

Fred, I will miss you. Sorry you won't be there. I guess if you are getting your driving privileges back you must be well on your way to mending. Out of the chair and on crutches, cane, walking on your own????

[Mellow]

That sux Fred but you'll get back in the saddle soon enough.

[Coop]

Dang it all Fred!! Who is going to start the trouble if you're not there? Get well soon!!

[Medicine Bear]

Fred, I will miss you. Sorry you won't be there. I guess if you are getting your driving privileges back you must be well on your way to mending. Out of the chair and on crutches, cane, walking on your own????

Hi Mac!

Still in the chair and a walker for places the chair can't get to. I'm guessing, considering how well the water therapy is going, I'll be able to switch to one crutch, a cane, or nothing but a bad limp after the middle of December.:hurt1:

Thanks for asking...

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Medicine Bear]

That sux Fred but you'll get back in the saddle soon enough.

Yeah, but I caught Arlene on eBay looking at Wings so that saddle may not be my Russell Day Long!:o4:

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Medicine Bear]

Dang it all Fred!! Who is going to start the trouble if you're not there? Get well soon!!

Gosh, Coop, you've never had any problems before...:D

Wish I was gonna be there to see you guys - I haven't given up yet. I'm trying to convince a friend that it's worth it to drive to Taylor just for BBQ.

We'll see.

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Imrubicon]

But your feriend gets to meet all of us also LOL

[Coop]

Fred :03biker: :confused:

Have you considered carjacking a minivan and making the driver take to to Taylor? No? How about just taking a taxi?

[lddave]

Weather forecast for Saturday is partly cloudy and upper 60"s for the temperature.

[lddave]

Fred have you checked the Grey Hound bus line schedule?

[lddave]

I decided to try having a few hats made up and if the embroidery folks get finished in time I will have a few to give out as prizes.

[motomac]

Man, I just looked at the TX map, and it looks like less than 125 miles from Magnolia to Taylor. Isn't there anyone going to Taylor from the Houston area that can help Fred out?????

[Coop]

Yeah, tie Fred's chair to the back of your bike with a ski rope and awaaaay we go. LOL!!

[Medicine Bear]

Yeah, tie Fred's chair to the back of your bike with a ski rope and awaaaay we go. LOL!!

I wonder what ATGATT for a wheelchair is? If I'm going to be tied to a bike, it better include toilet paper!

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Imrubicon]

The one and only answer would be

Now THAT'S funny!!!

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Medicine Bear]

I don't want to say much yet because we haven't worked out the details yet but I may have a ride to Taylor (and, hopefully, back) courtesy of a to-be-named-at-a-later-date ST-O member.:woo

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[motomac]

I am going to have to eat a little crow for this one guys. Due to the S O's condition and her living alone, I have to call this trip off. She hasn't recovered enough from her surgery to fend for herself completely, so I will be her nurse for a few days. Fred, I do hope someone can get you there.

Mac, you do what you need to, she needs you. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll see you again in Texas when we least expect it.

Tell her to get well quick.

[Medicine Bear]

Mac, I think being nurse for Gail was a foregone conclusion. I am sorry you won't be there because (drumroll please)...

Toroguy (Mike) and his wife have graciously offered to haul my wheelchair and me (and my son, if he can tear himself away) to Taylor.:hotpepper :woo :hotpepper

Lucky for Coop, it's way too close for me to get Arlene to make yet another new and interesting (read: LOUD) shirt.

See y'all there!

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[ToroGuy]

As Fred and I were planning the trip to Taylor, he mentions he wants to make an impact and he has always admired George Bush the elder...so we started practicing the Taylor arrival --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoMW3L5pHE0

[motomac]

I am glad for you Fred!!! Torguy, good on ya!!! The Garner trip is definately not going to happen, but the Texas flag shirt quite possibly may be in Taylor. We will see what her kids schedules are for Thursday and Friday.

[05ST1300ABS]

I have to admit...that new version of Ole Fred, the GOldwing, and the trike...might come to haunt all of us in about 20 more years. The part about Texas might have to be modified to read...
Tennessee...gods country...Red...ST1300 red..

[Medicine Bear]

When I read the word "impact" you can understand how I felt, wondering if it would be a safe landing or one similar to my accident.

Gotta admit it looks like fun and a heckuva lot better than sitting in the house.:D

Now, if they'd rolled that guy out the door of a Twin Otter at 10,000' it would have been more spectacular.

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[Dketchum]

I am hoping work will let me attend this event.

[Bigfish]

I am going to try and make this one, I eat their fairly regular as I work in Taylor. The grub is preeeety Good! I was also thinking about heading to the Lone Star gig to check it out, if ya'll don't mind a tag along. Also, for anyone looking for a nice back road. Park Road 1 that runs between Bastrop State Park and Buescher State park is an awesome little ride. It's about 16 miles of curves thru the Lost Pines. Awesome little road detour. And the Roadhouse Cafe on the Bastrop end serves up some great burgers.

[STill Fiddlin]

If I can get my baby buttoned back up tonight, and the fuses don't blow when I turn it on, I'll be there.

I'm sure this is in a thread somewhere, but this is what Fred needs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTNz6NftP34

[Coop]

I better stay home and whine. I don't think my colon will accept BBQ yet. I hope everyone has a great time and someone show Dave what a real shirt looks like!!

[lddave]

Mac and Coop you will be missed Saturday. So with Mac not being able to attend it leaves the long distance award wide open. So get a gas receipt from your starting location and show it to me and if you are the winner there will be a prize. And for the best voted shirt by me and Preston will receive a prize.
Arrive early and beat the crowd.

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[TexTom]

Anyone in southAustin going. I'm down by the"Y" and I'm going.
Drop me a line.:06biker:

[Imrubicon]

I should be at the old Albertsons/ Mc Donalds at 620 and I35 at 10 am .as its only about a 30 min ride from there if anyone is interested.
Dang it I may have to work in the afternoon though as I am on call this week

[motomac]

I want you folks to know that I really was looking forward to this run. I had recently joined the TWT board and was wanting to put some faces to names from that board as well as seeing some old friends from this board as well as some new ones.

Coop, you should go even if you don't eat, just to talk with friends you haven't been with for a while.

[Dketchum]

looks like I will be able to make this one. Leaving shortly...was just plugging in some alternate routes into the GPS.:)

[STill Fiddlin]

Dave (K) - I must have missed you there. It was a good turnout. Thanks again to Dave (B). I particularly appreciated that this joint had forks.

Also, good to see Fred, who is doing pretty well on 4 wheels these days. :)

Passed through Giddings on the way back and saw a restaurant that should be on everyone's list -- Ok, maybe not. (Had the old camera and had to dodge in, so I hope you can read it. Made me stop and take a picture, but *not* go in for a donut.)

[Mick]

It was a good turnout.


Indeed it was. My guesstimate is 50+.

As for Fred, looks as if folks kept him from doing wheelies in the parking lot in his wheelchair. Nice to see him on the mend. Also, nice to see Joe and buddy again but unlike last time, there was no violent wind & rain storm in the middle of the northern plains. Also saw two Eds from STOC days and met George from Austin. Good folks, good Q!

Here's some pics:

These are just a few of the bikes:

Is this the winner for the long distance prize?:

Even an ST1100P showed up:

[Medicine Bear]

Well, I gotta tell ya, there are too many people to thank for helping me have an absolutely great day at lddave's BBQ RTE. If I left you out it is not intentional.

Thanks to ToroGuy and wife, Linda, for hauling my carcass to the RTE and back and helping me into the place as it had no wheelchair ramps that I could find. They're a great bunch of folks and never even complained once about my incessant talking (I babble when I'm happy). Thanks to Bigfish for helping me out the door and down the monster steps to the sidewalk. Being in a wheelchair makes me really appreciate what the "alternately abled" folks have to go through to do the simplest things.

And thanks to all who attended - what a great bunch! It was especially nice to see that bright ray of sunshine, Squeaky, from TWT. Always a smile (or was it a smirk?) on her face.

Thanks to all who came up and expressed wishes for my recovery.

One other thing: Seeing all of you out there and the bikes helped me to decide whether I'll ride again or not when I can get on 2 wheels instead of the 4 I have now. How could I miss out on all the fun? I still haven't decided what those 2 wheels will be attached to (my wife gets 51% of the vote and she says my next ride will start with "Honda" and end in "ing") but whatever it is I will be back.

Last but not least, thanks a whopping bunch to Dave for putting the RTE together. These are the times I enjoy most.

Fred :03biker: :confused:

[lddave]

Fred you got they loud shirt award again .
Just got home will post the other award winners.

[ToroGuy]

Yea, Fred talks ALOT. Help me figure this out -->

+ Every other sentence included some reference to WING??
+ After leaving Taylor, we had to stop at the first DQ we came upon??

What can this mean??????????? ;)

[STill Fiddlin]

Mike, I did wonder if you and Linda had thought about towing Fred home, you know, give him that open air feeling again. :)

[Dketchum]

Dave (K) - I must have missed you there. It was a good turnout.

I tried...8 miles before Taylor coming up 95 from Bastrop, I have a massive loss of power on my bike, I kept it running and diverted to head over to 79/hutto/round rock in case it quit completely, would be easier to get help picked up/off I35..About 6 miles before round rock I had to stop for gas as the computer said I was getting about 8 mpg and the gage was dropping fast..Here's where it gets exciting..I pull into a shell station in Hutto and when I get off bike at pump, there are FLAMES coming from the bottom left of the bike! I push it away from pump and am trying to bat out the burring plastic while yelling for help to see if the station has a fire estingisher..One finally shows up and poof, flames are out. I called buddy in SA and he brought his truck up, we loaded bike and got it back home..

What had happened...Inside the shrink tubing on the jumper I had made to the left coils positive wire, to pick up the tach signal for the Cruise control, the spade terminal has broken, therefore no power to that coil, 2 dead cylinders that are still getting fuel pumped into them by the FI as the 2 cylinders on the right are still firing. Hence, fuel was building up in muffler/cat converter and being ignited by the heat from the crossover pipe, causing the pipe to get red hot...

When I stopped for the gas, the heat ignited the black plastic and I had flames. Looks like I Will probably need a left muffler as I believe it got cooked and there is a lot of rattling inside of it. The only other part needed is the black plastic piece below the middle fairing.

The wire has already been repaired (using much better connectors now) and she runs fine.

Exciting day!! :o:

Anybody have/know where a left muffler might be for sale? I of course will search/look on Ebay where I found a right one before.

[STill Fiddlin]

Ok, well, as long as you had an excuse :eek:

Glad it didn't turn out worse - you ever think about trading that bike in???

[Dketchum]

LOL!!! :bow1: It just wouldn't be right seeing you on another bike :D

[lddave]

The weather for December was good, the BBQ was great, and it was good seeing everyone plus meeting new folks.
Fred won the shirt contest, plus his wheelchair was neat.
Bob Hall ( 2001 Iron Butt Rally winner) won the long distance award, 1410 miles round trip from Albuquerque .
Bob said something about a great burritos place in New Mexico, so their might be a New Mexico RTE in the future.
The folks from Germany got prizes for the best craftsmanship on their bikes.
I want to thank everyone who made it to Taylor Saturday for making this another great BBQ RTE.

Dang, I could finally beat Bob Hall at something. I haven't seen Bob since he left Ohio.

Yea, Fred talks ALOT. Help me figure this out -->

+ Every other sentence included some reference to WING??
+ After leaving Taylor, we had to stop at the first DQ we came upon??

What can this mean??????????? ;)

Arlene is having a positive influence on the old rascal?

Arlene is having a positive influence on the old rascal?


An influence? For sure! Positive? Questionable. Expensive? No doubt!

Old rascal? Coop, how could you? I'm as young as I feel. And I feel Arlene up against me several times a day. Now that's feeling young! :woo

OTOH, on a Wing, she'd be farther away from me than on the ST. Maybe that'll put a few things in perspective...:D
