2008-03-01-MD, Frederick - breakfest

[gene]

Hey guys how about at meet and greet at 9:30 on March 1st sun or snow ?? Thinking maybe Bob Evan's on rte 40 on the Golden mile? Bring the cage,bring the wife or girlfriend, bring the kids we like them all :D I'm really in need of a bike fix, so let's get together for some socializing and maybe a ride if the weather cooperates!

[St. Arbucks]

I will try my best to make it. I'll also see about dislodging that social introvert and all-around unibomber hermit: Tim Blanch.

[Blrfl]

Hmmm... I might be up for that.

--Mark

[timblanch]

OK, I'll go. (shamed by St. Arbuck's.) It will be nice to see Gene since he let me ride his ST in late 2005. Has it been that long?

Tim

[brentster]

If the spousal unit doesn't have to work that morning, I'll be there. Count me in!

[gene]

Tim ,Tim who ??;) ;) Tim come on down, I've saw you a few times at a distance going up the hill . See ya next week

[gene]

Brent you can bring the little ones ! But he has to wear the antlers:D

[motomac]

Bob Evans??? Did you say Bob Evans??? This could be a maybe!!! What is the address?

[Blrfl]

Although if we're going that far north, why go to Bob Evans?

(I know, Gene... All roads lead to Thurmont...)

--Mark

[gene]

Well you know I choose Bob Evans just in case Mac had a free day !! Mark bring Rachel along if you bring the car

[gene]

Here you go Mac


Bob Evans Restaurants
1505 GARRETT DR
FREDERICK MD 21702 RT. 40 & OLD CAMP RD

[motomac]

Here you go Mac


Bob Evans Restaurants
1505 GARRETT DR
FREDERICK MD 21702 RT. 40 & OLD CAMP RD
Thank you Sir, when I looked up BE in Frederick I found 2 and didn't know what that road you listed off 40 was.

[gene]

Mac you gonna bring the KLR ?

[juddspaintballs]

I'll put it on my calendar. I don't think I can pry Lauren out of bed early enough to make it to my house (hour away from her). But I should be there. ST with me if at all possible.

I'll pass this along to a few others in the area I know.

[Carl Custer]

I'll take a shot at it.
Having knee done on Friday so, no moto.
Maybe the Venerable Volvo or just more pills.:cool:

[gene]

This is looking to be fun, more new folks are coming out !!

[brentster]

Brent you can bring the little ones ! But he has to wear the antlers:D

That becomes an issue of logistics.. If I bring the monsters, then I can't bring the bike. But.. If I strap him to the front of the bike and put the antlers on him, I have a well recognized Frederick hood ornament.. Hmmm..

[gene]

You could strap him to your back now that would be a avatar:D tell his mom it's only down the street so he will be fine:p: she can even come out side and wave at him as you go bye while talking to her on your zumo . Any more concerns I can help with ?

[J Paul]

I,ll be there weather permitting. J Paul

[gregj]

Weather permitting, I'll try and be there. Preferrably on the :07biker: :D

[WVUandVT2]

Hello all. I might be going out of town then but if I don't I'll be riding over there. It'll be nice seeing you folks again. As for Bob Evan's, YUM YUM :-)

[motomac]

Well boys and girls, I checked the Weather.com for the next couple of days and it is looking very bleak for a motorcyclist trying to head east out of Canton Saturday morning. It is supposed to start snowing again tomorrow and continue through Saturday morning. I dearly love Bob Evans' sausage gravy and biscuits, so have some for me while ya'll are at breakfast. If there is a change in the forecast for the better, I'll see ya there and get my own sausage gravy and biscuits.

[gene]

We'll miss you Mac, but a safe trip is what's most important! Maybe we will see you for Mellow Day at DQ :D

[gene]

Looks like a nice day tommorrow just a little cool, so the bike it is:D ,see you guys in the morning. I'm up for a ride after breakfest if anyone wants to go for a ride !

[gregj]

Cant make this one, my son is wrestling saturday. Yall have a good day tomorrow, and ride safe. :D

[motomac]

Well we have at least 4" of snow on top of what we already had, the temperature has risen above freezing and it is raining. Later the temperature is going below freezing and the snow will start again, and this goes on all night long. I won't even be able to get Zoom Zoom out of the drive, let alone either motorcycle. Have some sausage and gravy biscuits for me folks, 'cause I probably won't be able to get to the Bob Evans 1.5 miles from my house tomorrow morning!!!

[juddspaintballs]

TOMORROW!


Just a reminder.

[juddspaintballs]

weather.com says "high winds"

I'll be riding.

[Blrfl]

Well we have at least 4" of snow on top of what we already had, the temperature has risen above freezing and it is raining. Later the temperature is going below freezing and the snow will start again, and this goes on all night long.

Sounds like a KLR kinda day!

--Mark

[motomac]

With all the ice under the snow, I'm not too sure I want to chance that. I did stuff like that in my earlier years, but my reflexes aren't what they used to be and my strength is a bit lacking also.

[Blrfl]

It was great meeting/seeing everyone this morning, and thanks for keeping the ribbing about the thing with the extra wheels down to a minimum. I really wasn't in a good condition to be riding.

I apologize to the fellow on that gorgeous Triumph; I've forgotten your name.

Pictures are here (http://st-gallery.notonthe.net/main.php?g2_itemId=979).

[juddspaintballs]

Ah, great time today. I think I remember all but one's name. I've got Gene, Mark, Brent?, Tim, Jim, Chris (spelling?), and ____


Thanks for the pictures Mark. If you couldn't ride, you might as well have taken all the picture :P

[sail2xxs]

Meeting up with everyone was great!! Really enjoyed the chat, and checking out the farkles! The guy on the Triumph Sprint ST was Tom Fraser - my riding buddy from the PC 800 group. We ended up sticking to the ride to eat philosophy and grabbed ribs at Smokey Bones in Bowie on the way back. :p:

Hope to catch up with you all for breakfast again soon, perhaps around Annapolis? Depending on the group size, could also meet up at my house and make breakfast here!

Best,

Chris

[Blrfl]

Thanks for the pictures Mark. If you couldn't ride, you might as well have taken all the picture :P

When we do ride, Gene's wife Lisa is our official photographer:

(Just to prove that I do actually ride and I'm not some breakfast-attending wuffo (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wuffo). :D)

[motomac]

I'm envious that you had that many show and I had to stay home. The good news is, we had some thaw today and supposed to get more tomorrow!!! My driveway had about 1/2 of ice from the garage to the street under about 2" of snow. When I was shoveling the snow off, I almost went down three times.

[gene]

Had a great time today and to meet a few new guys. As one guy mentioned the St folks are the nicest bunch of guys or something similar to that ! It was a pleasure to meet a young man like Jedd this morning as it gives me hope there will good men around to lookout for the rest of us when we get old. Chris pick a date and I'm sure a few at least will show up to eat and socialize!

[timblanch]

Guys,

I had a really nice time meeting everyone. Thank you Gene for organizing it and Mark for the photos you posted. If possible, I'll get in on the next one ride to eat too.

Yes, I do think the ST guys are the nicest.

Tim
:biker:

[dompa894]

I am sorry I missed this RTE ... I like the ride out to Frederick, too.

Next time for sure.

[WVUandVT2]

Wish I'd been there too. Timing just didn't work out this time. I hope it does the next time.
