MOOT MaG #11

[BudMan]

Davis, Oklahoma = Smokin Joe's bbq.  This is a good, good thing.

Jeff, this is indeed a good thing! Best BBQ I've had in a long time!
It is also a great place to park the Toy Hauler for MOOTMAG!
I'll be parked at Smokin' Joe's new BBQ and RV Park.
The location is not correct in Google yet because Joe just relocated to a larger facility immediately off I-35 on HY77. 
Karen and I had Ribs and Pulled Pork BBQ there and were really impressed with the food.
RV sites with either 30 or 50 Amp service is $23.50 per night and tent camping will be $12.50 for MOOTMAG members.  Joe has also assured me he will be happy to cater our Saturday meal as well.
We can order from the menu and be served either inside or out.  I asked about inclement weather if we chose outside and he said not to worry about it, he could take care of us either way.
If you are going to tent camp or RV there be sure to mention MOOT.

I've never been to a MOOTMAG, so what were the last few like (I'll try to search previous postings)?  Is it a some folks going on informal rides everyday and hanging out in the park or activities planned for specific times or both?  Planning on the Turner Falls Inn but sadly will have to leave Friday at noon .... if I ride up the night of the 4th instead of the morning of the 5th (Weds), will there be anyone there the morning of the 5th and anything going on, or will most people show up the night of the 5th and into the weekend?

Can't speak for everyone else, Buster, but I will be coming from Austin with another MOOT member from San Antonio.  It is a long haul, so we do not expect to be there before late afternoon.

[BudMan]

I'll be getting in fairly early on Wed. the 5th.
(It's only a couple of hours from the house.)
There will be a mix of rides both "largish" groups and smaller rides as well.
Most of the rides will be shorter in duration this year due to the concentration of good roads in a small area.
I am trying to set up some non-ride activity this year at some of the local attractions.  No definite word yet, on this, but soon.

I'm sure you will be thanked many times for what you are doing, but I want to thank you and the "planning team" for working through all of the logistics surrounding MootMAG #11.

[BudMan]

Thanks Brandon!
The Oklahoma contingent aims to make this one "a MOOT MAG to remember."

BTW, Joe (of Smoking Joe's BBQ) has agreed to make arrangements for our closeout/awards dinner.  I'll finalize plans with him as we get a better head count.

This is going to be great!

Buster, MOOTMAGs are a loosely planned event, allowing you to jump in whenever/wherever you want. KSU times are posted for planned rides, but there are also impromptu rides that take place. Once all events are finalized a schedule will be posted with times and locations of the events. Eat, sleep and relax as long as you like but be prompt and gassed up for any scheduled ride. Sometimes there has been a group meal planned for arrival day, an evening ride to dinner and also end of ride meals. Obviously we are a motorcycle group with an eating problem.....
The most important thing about the events has been safety; be on time for the group rides to get a good briefing about riding with the group. Second, enjoy the time together with the group (Meet And Greet), bring your stories along and plan ahead, it will be hard to beat the ones that Allen, Lowell & Terry have...

Love it!  To quote Greg when I met him.. "We are eating Enthusiast with a biker habit"

Buster, I've only been to one MOOTMAG and it was awesome. You cant go wrong with a group of people with a common interest and this is a great group of people. Still in the air as to whether I go this year of not.  Trying to plan a 14 state ride.

[Len Averyt]

I should be in riding condition by then. I hope!
Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
I have been so slamed with work and now my injury so I just haven't been avalable for any Moot activities and I miss you guys!

[Jerry G Turner]

Len not sure what your injuries are but hope that you heal quickly and can attend because I for one miss seeing you also. May Gods healing hand help you heal quickly.

Buster, this will be my 6th consecutive MOOTMaG. I cannot tell you what a fun riding event this turns into once it starts rolling. It's great to spend time with like minded individuals. These guys have become my friends over the years.

I hope to be there on the 5th before noon.

If you make it, be sure to bring a camera, there's always something worth taking photos.

This is a family oriented organization. While alcohol is never allowed before or during a ride, some of us "pop a top" after the riding is through just to clear our throats. The camaraderie is top notch in the evenings.

This event is always worth the time and funds.

Just read about it..   I'm in provided I sell the old Ghetto Valk and pick up the new one soon...  The ride "down" from Colorado doesn't look bad at all!

Yeah, and it is down hill all the way.  You should be able to coast there...

No fun in coasting...  It's always full speed with my hair on fire!   

Hope to see you there Lawrence...
