[okmurdog]

[okckeith]

Looking foward to meeting you guys. See you there.

[roginoz]

Any of you central Kansas guys want to go? Check my post on the Kansas sub forum. (It's only about three hours from Wichita.)

[ChucksKLRST]

Fred, I plan on being there also.
By the way, I am going to the Blue Hanger this coming Sat. 17 May for breakfast. Same invite applies if you are interrested in going.

Outstanding!

Won't be able to make the Blue Hanger on the 17th, but am planning to join you guys for breakfast there one of these days.

[Fred D]

Just called Jakes Ribs to warn them to watch for a rowdy crowd of bbq eatin' bikers! They said come on!!

Don't order fries....unless you're really hungry.... or plan on sharing.... ;)

[Tankereng]

Anyone from Texas thinkin about heading to OK for some BBQ? I Think I've been to this place when I lived in Altus, OK. If it's the place I remember, it ROCKS!

[Tankereng]

I Spent some time in Wichita Falls back in 1994....and been there a few times since..nice little town..

Wanna meet in Wichita Falls on the way to Chickasha?

[ChucksKLRST]

Wanna meet in Wichita Falls on the way to Chickasha? I"ll let you know I am thinking about making the day a Iron butt Ride to Eat. Ride to the Blue Hangert in Fort Worth, in the morning for Breakfast and then head up to Chickasha for Lunch, and then home. Have not run the milage but I think it would be about a 350 mile round trip for me. Will keep this thread posted. Other wise sounds Like a plan.

I was actually looking at the same thing. Ft Worth and Chickasha...but staying in OKC at my Parents house that night..LOL

[ChucksKLRST]

Just look at the milage. 420 miles for me round trip. 200 miles from the Blue hanger to Chickasha. Won't leave enough time for breakfast and to make it for lunch. I am going to fall back on the origanal plan Wichita Falls to Chickasha. What time would you be coming thru WF. It is 110 miles form WF to Chickasha. I figure to be there in time for lunch I would leave here about 9:30 to 10:00. and stop at the Honda dealer in Chickasha before lunch.
It is a 5.5 hour ride from S.A. to WF.

[guardian_dfw]

It would be great if everyone from the N. Texas area meets at the Blue Hanger and then rides up for lunch. I'm in if anyones interested.

I might be up for this one...

[okmurdog]

Hey...hope all you guys can make it to the eat....the more ST'ers, the better!!

[Tankereng]

It would be great if everyone from the N. Texas area meets at the Blue Hanger and then rides up for lunch. I'm in if anyones interested. How about everyone from "TEXAS" and surrounding areas

It's a rally then.. Who's in?

RALLY POINT = Blue Hangar Cafe :plane1: :07biker:
Departure time = Stands up at 0900
Destination = Jake's BBQ / Chickasha, Oklahoma

:headbang:

[guardian_dfw]

I just got word from the SO that I have a previous engagement that day. I can make the Blue Hanger but will have to miss the ride to OK. Oh, well better make her happy. She controls the finances.:(

[Tankereng]

Anyone up for a ride down to Mt.Scott after the BBQ? I'm going to head down there and then back up to OKC (Lake Hefner area)

Coop, After working for the ARMY at Sheppard Airforce Base for the last 9.5 years, I have come to beleive the Airforce belongs to the Dept Of Transportation, instead of the Dept Of Defense. I hope Tankereng can take a little bit of ribbing from us old time Army guys from time to time..:D

[okckeith]

Se you at Braums 10:45.

[sagerider]

Wish I could come, but it's too late for me to make plans. I love Jake's ribs! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

I used to live in Duncan, and we used to eat there about once a month, but I live in Walla Walla, WA. now. It's still kinda cold here this spring, and we don't have any good BBQ here at all. Maybe I ought to move back! You sound like a great group to ride with.

I will be getting my first ST on Wed., and I am really excited! I need to ride down to visit my Mom in Meeker late this summer, and I will ride over to Chickasha to eat while I'm there. Maybe run into some of you then.

[Okiedoc]

I'm in, will be coming down from Enid.

[roginoz]

Fred: The Braums appears to be just east of I-44 and I-240, barely off our route from Wichita. (The Zumo says three additional minutes.) If the timing is right, we'll stop and ride the rest of the way with you guys. Looks like somewhere between one and four of us at present.

[Tankereng]

:mw1: Watch out for the Okie's..they're everywhere!!

More riders yeah!! :eat2:

[kts1911]

I will be there via K.C. to wichita falls to chickasha. I got family in wichita falls so thought it would be a nice trip. see u all sat.

Are you going to be in WF this Friday evening. If so get in touch with me. I have a ride route plan for Sat. on the way to Chickasha.

[roginoz]

Chuck - I got a PM from kts1911 saying that he was heading down there today. (He was going to meet with some of us from KS for the ride down on Saturday, but decided to take the opportunity to visit family beforehand.) I've PM'd you his cell number.

[Tankereng]

On my way in a few hours...via the Blue Hangar Cafe for Breakfast...:headbang:

[okmurdog]

See you and the rest of the crew at Jake's tomorrow!

Ride Safe

[KrazyKooter]

I plan on making it. Blue Hanger first.

[Fred D]

Well, the first Okie Meet & Eat is in the books!

Thanks to all who made it a success - condolences to those who missed it....:)

We may have to do this again!!

Here's some photo's I took, and am looking forward to seeing the shots others there took.

[ChucksKLRST]

Great to see some old friends and even better to meet new folks in the STOC community. I guess I was the only one from Texas at the BBQ. Hey Texas Folk, where were you? Too full from breakfast at the Blue Hanger? You all from Texas missed a good Lunch. Took a couple of pictures. Going home in the wind was no fun. Average MPG on the way back to WF was about 37mpg and I was only running 65 to 70 most of the way. Average coming up to Chickasha, with the wind was about 42mpg. These are what the bike computer showed. Hope every one got back safe. Fred, looking forward to the next one.

[okckeith]

I enjoyed meeting everyone. The food sure was good. Hope we can do that again. Hope everyone made it home safe. Sure was windy on Mt. Scott.

[Tyrbrnr]

I think we put Oklahoma back on map today, I know I was all over the map. I've never see so many STs in one place before, totally cool. I had a great time meeting everyone and I learned alot, You can't have enough FARKLES. Absolute must do again soon.

Let see some more of those pictures!

[okmurdog]

I enjoyed meeting fellow ST riders & seeing all the farkles. I think I seen a couple of James Bond specials today :bow1: .

We will definitely have to do it again - soon! Next time, how about a 'burger and pie...awww heck, let's just make it pie!! :eat1:

Anyway...nice meeting everybody & I apologize in advance because I probably won't remember your name next time I see you...but I will remember your face and ask your name again!

...and yes...keep those pictures coming!!

Hey, now! On the last picture that Fred_D posted, they guy in the red (me, yes, it looks like my diet isn't going to well at all) and the guy in the blue (Tankereng) are both from Texas. Heck, Tankereng rode all the way from San Antonio.

I had a great time. Mount Scott was great.

[st_james]

Thanks for hosting the first ever Okie event Fred. :bow1:
It was nice to see such a good turnout.

I stand corrected:bow1: . Wish you guys would of told me that. Did not relize you were from TEXAS. Maybe in the future we will have to wear name tags.:eek: I would have liked to give Tankereng some ribbing about the Air Force.:D Glad you guys made it. Did you do Breakfast at the Blue Hanger?

Tankereng, my sincerest apologies for missing you - I met several of the people who showed up twice, if that's any consolation....:o:

:) Like many people, I've got to meet people two~three times for their names to stick, then when screen/forum names are added to the mix, I have twice as many names to have trouble remembering....

[Orange Power]

Here are some pics I took at the Braums in OKC before heading to Chickasha.
Ignore the thumb over the lens of the last one.

Thanks to Fred for putting the ride together.

[Orange Power]

My memory for names is not too good either.
How about matching faces with names and user names?

I'll go first:

Tom Douglass
Edmond, OK

An "official" thanks to everyone who showed up! Any thoughts for where to go for the next Meet & Eat?

[roginoz]

One attaboy for Fred. A good get-together, and some nice folks. We rode to Mt. Scott after lunch (thanks to Keith for the backroads guide service) and it was well worth the trip. Mileage improved by about 10 mpg on the way back to Wichita; wind is only a bad thing about half the time.

As for the next time, does the Meers Store still have the best burger in OK?

[ChucksKLRST]

That what they say.

Meers sounds great to me. I vote for that.

[okmurdog]

Good idea Tom...

I know of a good burger joint in El Reno...Johnnie's Grill. I rode over there with some Harley riders several weeks ago. Very good burgers (voted one of the best 100 burger places in America), and they also have great PIE for dessert! They had several varieties of homemade pie...I tried two different ones :p:


-Mark

[okmurdog]

Meers is good by me also....as long as they have pie! :tc1: :-)

[Tankereng]

Well everybody....I finally made it back to San Antonio about an hour ago..:07biker: Total Mileage for the weekend.......1194.9 (Zumo miles)

Hey Mellow, did I end up the official "longest distance" rider at the breakfast?

What a great ride for the weekend!! Rode from OKC via Altus then south down 183/283 all the way to San Antonio.. Zero traffic...and the cars I did come upon moved over and let me by with a wave!! How cool was that..

I was sure I was going to catch up with Mellow eventually due to the 5 dead Turkey vultures I passed...:mw1:

Thanks again to everyone. I had a GREAT time. One thing I would like to point out was the abundance of SILVER at both the Blue Hangar Cafe as well as Jake's Ribs....GO SILVER!! :07biker: :07biker: :07biker: :07biker: :07biker: :headbang:

This is the only one I took up on top of MT Scott. Guess I will have to make the MEERS run in July to get some more shots.
