2008-09-06 OK - Tulsa - Knottypine BBQ

[st_james]

Sounds like it is time for another Oklahoma RTE. I'm thinking the 6th of September at noon at Knottypine BBQ in Tulsa. They are located at 3301 W
5th St. If there is enough interest we might go for a ride to Woolaroc after lunch.

Hope to see you there........ James

[okmurdog]

Hey James - count me in.

[Tyrbrnr]

I'm in, James maybe we can meet up and ride in together

[George]

Dang, hate to miss this but prolly too far east so soon after TentSTOC.

[TexTom]

Dang I hate to miss this too. Used to live in Tulsa, and I've got a weakness for the Knotty Pine. Or is the Naughty Pine? :eek:
:06biker:

It looks like I might be able to make this one. (One week before the Indy MotoGP.) Two hours and forty minutes, 180 miles. Any of the rest of the KS crew want to go?

[okmurdog]

Hey Fred, Keith, Steve, Darrell, Tom, Pat...and any other OKC riders, this would be a great ride up Rt 66 to Tulsa.

[okckeith]

Hey Fred, Keith, Steve, Darrell, Tom, Pat...and any other OKC riders, this would be a great ride up Rt 66 to Tulsa.

Sounds good to me. If I'm not working I'll be there. I'm starting a new Job this week. Not sure of my hours yet.

[josephthreedogs]

I could make it if the ride was on the 7th, but can't make the 6th. We will be on our way to KC for the annual V-Rod Rally at the Basswoods resort.

[ST Rob]

I'll be there and woolaroc is fine with me.

[st_james]

Good to here that several of you guys will be able to make this. I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Rick, I would be happy to meet up and ride in together.

George, Aw come on man it's only a thousand miles give or take :)

TexTom, I have lived in Tulsa pretty much all of my life, and still have a weakness for Knottypine. :)


And if you guys would rather ride after lunch, we could skip Woolaroc and go for a ride

[stellarpod]

I'm onboard. Mmmm... barbeque...

Woolaroc sounds interesting to me. I haven't been there since 6th grade. :)

[Fred D]

Hey Fred, Keith, Steve, Darrell, Tom, Pat...and any other OKC riders, this would be a great ride up Rt 66 to Tulsa.

:( James, sounds great, but.....I'll be boarding the Norwegian Star in Seattle that day for a cruise to Alaska - bbq in Tulsa would be a lot less stressful!

You guys have fun!

[st_james]

Stellarpod, Glad to here you are going to try and make this. It should be fun.

Fred, Man I'm jealous. I hope to do that one of these days. Have fun and take lots of pictures.

[okmurdog]

Fred, have fun on the cruise!

I'll eat a rib for ya'....

[L Scott]

James,

I am planning on coming down to the Knottypine BBQ and I am going to try and ride down with Roger ( roginoz ) ….. but if I don’t ride down with him I will still ride down and eat and go for a ride or Woolaroc or whatever everyone decides to go do……

Larry

[okckeith]

Well I have to work. Have fun and mayby next time.

[stellarpod]

That's a bummer, Keith. But, you're probably glad to be working I suspect.

stellarpod

[okckeith]

That's a bummer, Keith. But, you're probably glad to be working I suspect.

stellarpod

Bummer yes. But I got a call about another job my second day at work. I can't turn down. A whole lot more money than my last job. 7 days on and 7 days off. And all my vacation that I had. I'm excited!

[stellarpod]

That's great to hear.

If it's any consolation, I promise I'll eat more than enough ribs for both of us... :eat2:

stellarpod

[FigsST]

Hey Folks,

I am planning on making this ride. I still have to clear it with the Mrs...but she is usually pretty understanding about such things.

I did the mapquest thing, it's 226.4 door to door. Plus, I would get to add another state to my map!

I'll keep the fingers crossed that this works out! :06biker:

[stellarpod]

Excellent! I may just have to run up to Coffeyville after the feed so I can do the same (add Kansas) to my map.

stellarpod

[st_james]

Well I have to work. Have fun and mayby next time.


You're back to work, that's good news Keith, congrats..... Hopefully we will see you next time.

[Tourin']

I had thought about trying to catch up after my insulator show in Pauls Valley, BUT...lost my Vac day at work Saturday. STill trying to get another guy to cover me though. If I don't get there to meet 'n eat, y'all eat a bite for me.:(:07biker:

Hope you can make it, but if you don't we will make sure and eat an axtra rib or two for ya ...

[FigsST]

:sad: upon further review, I will not be making this trip. I have a teenage daughter who dances on the high school drill team. It appears they are marching in a local parade on Saturday morning. I might risk my father of the year status and ride, but the wife has to work that morning and I have to transport her to the event and take photographic proof of the event.

I hope that there will be another ride like this soon, and that I am free of family duties.

Thats alright, There will be other RTE's, family comes first.....

[STRon]

If it is not raining I'll be there. The ride to Woolaroc sounds great!
See you there,
Ron

[st_james]

Sounds good Ron, Hopefully the weather will cooperate

[W8NONU]

Hey guys,

Just saw this and think I will be able to join. I have a restaurant 1 block from the Knotty Pine and we close at noon on Saturday. May be a few minutes late getting there due to getting my place closed, but would like to join you for the ride if I get there too late for lunch.

[BadgerMan]

Is this still a go?

[st_james]

Is this still a go?


There is a chance of rain, but yes I will be there


W8NONU - A few minutes late is not a problem, hope to see you there


Hope to see you all there, James

[okckeith]

Soory I can't join you guys. I have to work. Just wanted to say enjoy the ride. And please be safe. Reading about way to many accident post. Hope to join in next time.

[stellarpod]

Oh man, I hate to do this, but...

(Talk about getting old and forgetful) Saturday is my wife's birthday. And it's not just ANY birthday. Although I probably shouldn't mention exactly WHICH ONE it is (somewhere between 49 and 51), let's just say that it would not be a prudent move for me to spend the day riding motorcycles instead of spending it with her.

For this reason, I'm going to have to back out as well. I'm really sorry, as I was very much looking forward to meeting several of you and the trip to Woolaroc as well. (I've already got all the waypoints and routes stored in my GPS). I will definetely make the next one.

Chew a couple of ribs for me...

stellarpod

[okckeith]

Ok I want pictures and a ride report. All I got to do was work today. Hope everything went well.

[okmurdog]

I had good intentions of making it to Tulsa, but....

I met some friends for breakfast this morning and then we rode to a Honda supercenter in Shawnee, OK. After checking out gear, accessories, used & new bikes (looking to use some coupons sent to me in the mail)...I wasn't watching the clock closely enough and when I noticed it was 10:20 AM, I knew I didn't have enough time to make it for lunch. I ended up riding around the local area here and THINKING about how good that BBQ must taste at the Knotty Pine.

Anyway...sorry James I was a no-show!

I'm still curious how the ride was for those who attended, and yes...let's see some pics!

Hey Keith... So what ONE item did you get a 40% discount? I'm tempted to make that trip out there myself. I'm about due for a new helmet.

Pat

[roginoz]

It was cold and raining at 6:00 AM here in Wichita, and the radar showed more of the same almost all the way to Tulsa. I went back to bed, and enjoyed a late breakfast at my favorite local place. I've ridden all day in the rain often enough to show that I'm stupid, no need to re-prove the obvious. I'll try to catch you next time.

[st_james]

Well we had 4 ST's there, 3-1300's and 1-1100, and we also had a Vulcan 500. Thanks to ST Rob, ST Ron, Krush, Tim and my g/f Rose who came out for some good BBQ. We got lucky, It quit raining a couple of hours before the posted time so no one got wet

W8NONU could not get off work but he stopped by and to say hello.

Rob, Ron, Rose and Myself took a nice ride afterwards. I had a senior moment and forgot my camera, So sorry but I did not get any pictures :shrug2:

It was good to finally meet some of the local ST owners, Thanks again guys.

Roger, I saw the radar Saturday morning, and I am glad you did not ride down for this. It would have been a wet ride the whole way for you.


OK, who's going to host the next Oklahoma RTE ?

[okckeith]

When and where's the next ride to eat? Do you think we could do the Talimena Drive and have lunch at the lodge. It would be a pretty long Ride. What do you guys think. Just a suggestion. Maybe make it an overnight trip.

Talimena sounds great to me. What about the last weekend in Sep? (26, 27, 28). Maybe a late afternoon eat at the lodge (around 2 or 3 pm) to allow time for folks to make the ride without having to get up at 0'dark-thirty?

I think you're right...probably an overnighter staying in Mena, AR

That last weekend in September is the same weekend as Bikes, Blues and BBQ in Fayetteville. I'll be camping at Devil's Den State Park, and already have a rough plan to ride Talimina on Saturday with a group of friends from KC

:06biker:

[okckeith]

I am off those days. But that is the week after NATSTOC. IS that to Close? It works for me. I'm just concerned about everybody else.
I work every other weekend. I'm off every other Fri, Sat, and Sun.
What about 10-11-08. That is 3 weeks after NATSTOC. Close to the last ride for the year for anybody to travel any distance. Cool enough to enjoy camping one last time but not to cold.
Hopefully some of our TX, ARK, MO, KS friends and any others can join us for a last get together of the year before it gets to cold.
Let me know what you guys think. Could be fun!

[st_james]

October the 11th looks good to me....

[okckeith]

Well I just remembered. Chuck is haveing BORINGSTOC in Wichita Falls that weekend. I think several of us from Ok are going. Can we do a differant date?

[roginoz]

+1 on the different date. I was going to try to make it to Wichita Falls, if everything else falls into place.
