MOOT MaG #11

[lragan]

Good show, Jim!

Looking forward to spending time with you two!

[Jerry G Turner]

We will keep a light on for you

I just reserved at Mountain View for Weds and Thurs night, wish I could stay longer.  Planning to arrive for breakfast on Weds.

[Marc Albea]

Nancy and I will be there.  Of course we are bringing the dog so we had to find a place that would accept pets.  Found one but off the beaten path about 7-8 miles from turner Falls.  Can't remember the name.  Since the annual MOOT MaG is about the only time I get to ride for pleasure each year I am always looking forward to the gathering.

This will be number 10 of 11 for me!!  MOOT!  Might be also bringing a buddy that bought my 98 Valk but won't know for sure until he determines when he has to be in South Carolina this year. 

My son is also thinking about buying a 3rd gen.  We are going to take a look at a non-runner that has been sitting for a year on Friday.  Not sure if he will be up for riding the distance at this point.  Last time he was on a bike was in '04 just before he flipped my wifes VStar classic.

Oh, medium for me and if the SO's are getting, XL for my wife.

Marc

Not to get off topic but if any of you are aware of a 3rd gen (running preferably) for sale at a reasonable price, let me know.

I look forward to arriving Thursday night or meeting the group at the Chickashaw Cultural Center Friday, probably with my better half Shellene
That will make not 1, but 2 hammock tents! 

Oh, and if Rob is still doing T-shirts we should add a small and a large

Scott 'Hop Along' and Shellene 'Sprocket'

Sorry to jump in late, but I plan to make MOOT MaG #11.  I will arrive Wed. evening, do the tent again, and probably stay at Smokin Joe's hopefully in the shade.

I am not going to make it to MM #11.  Recovery from left eye surgery for detached retina on 3/4 is taking much longer than I had hoped for.  I am now scheduled for cataract surgery in both eyes in June.  I pray this results in the improved vision I need to ride again. 

You guys have a blast.  Post some pics for those of us who will be there in spirit only.

I won't make it, but I sent some goodies to Greg for prizes.

Dobie, you are the greatest!  Would love to meet you in person sometime.  Thanks for your continued support of this group of riders.

I have a soft spot for you guys. My dad was from Bonham, TX and I was born on a ranch between Ardmore and Springer, OK. The first home I remember was adjacent to Dornick Hills Country Club, where my dad worked on the Circle F ranch. Went to school in Ardmore through my sophomore year, then moved to New Mexico where I finished school and joined the Navy. I was home-based in California, where I met and married Val, and have been here ever since, but I still have relatives all around the Odessa/Midland area.

Plan on tent camping at Smokin' Joe's.  Size XL on T-Shirt.  Will probably arrive with Budman on Wed.

Hey Jeff, sorry to hear of your medical issues. I will pray for you to get better and will miss riding with you again.

I just called and made a reservation.  Thanks!   

Sold the Ghetto Valk in Germany last Friday and had plans to pick up the new shoes and ride it to MM #11.  However I was just asked to go on a work trip that week /weekend and I will miss MOOTMag...  I can hear the collective sigh of relief from all of you...     Sorry to disappoint.

[Jerry G Turner]

Troy you will be missed hope they are paying you lots of money. Hopefully we will see you at MM 12

Howdy folks!
I just got off the phone with Joe at Smokin' Joe's.  They did not get any damage when the storms went through Davis the other night.  He is prepared for us and looking forward to our visit. He assures me there are plenty of options for the "tenters" as well as trailer slots. (Yes Hop-Along, there are lots of trees for your Squirrel Bed.) 
Given the proximity to fuel and a good place for forming up prior to rides for safety briefings and so forth I suggest this as our "Ground Zero" point. Joe told me we have several options if we want to have our Saturday evening "awards ceremony" there ranging from menu order in the restaurant, to home style service on the patio. I told him we were more of a "play it by ear" group and he said fit his business model just fine.
REMEMBER: Google does NOT have the correct place for Smokin' Joe's.  The location is just WEST of I-35 on the south side of HY-77; it is NOT on HY-77 closer to Davis as shown on Google.
