MOOT MaG #11

[v4_jeff]

Holy thunderstorms, Batman. I'm seeing a small break in the weather, gonna' make a run for it from Austin in just a few minutes. First planned fuel stop is just north of Waco, will hole up there for a few minutes and decide whether the rain suit or cool vest is more appropriate. Planning on a short stop in the DFW area to look at a car (I know, I know...), might make Turner Falls by mid-afternoon.

Guess I'll see if these LeatherLyke bags are actually water sealed... 

Jeff,
Lots of folks are staying at Turner Falls Inn so that sounds like a good starting place. There is lots of room for join-up and "post flight debriefing" at Smokin Joe's.  Joe's is about 1500 feet towards Turner Falls from I-35 on HY-77. At that point HY-77 runs almost directly North and South, Joe's is on the East side of HY-77.  That will be the second place to look, I would think. Thursday is probably a settle in day with lots of short small group rides, I suspect.
Friday will be a ride and tour of the Chickasaw cultural center for those interested. Saturday will probably include a Meers run for the best hamburger on the planet, and Sunday is get away day. That is about all the structure there is this year. (I try not to over think things, I know what I'm no good at and tend to stay away from it...thinking that is.)

Thanks for the info, Bud. I'll see y'all in a couple few hours.

Ahh, great that we can communicate,Bud.  Dinner was fun las night, good to meet ya'll.  

Hourly screen on weather.com shows rain until 11 or noon so looks like I may not b riding to breakfast unless the forecast changes again.  Giving David some time, how about a tentative plan to meet at Smokin Joe's at 12:30?  Also for those arriving, i've physically seen Several places called Smokin Joe's, the first in Ardmore, and there is another one a mile or two north on 77 from where the group is staying, so the one you're looking for is the first one north and east of i35 on 77, on the right side .going .  looks like mine is the only scooter at Mountain View.

7 of us just arrived back at Joes later than expected but it was an awesome ride.  Staring at each other trying to come with a plan, maybe late light lunch here at Joes

[buster]

Heading out soon from Joes for a loop around Lake Murray, back for dinner

6 bikes leaving from Turner Falls Inn in about 5 - 10 minutes

Kristi and I may get an opportunity to come up for a few hours tomorrow.  Have to wait till morning to see if we actually have the day off.

We have a couple of really good ride options for Friday. We'll have all the map book there and should be ready to hit the road in any direction a soon as we finish breakfast.
Let's ride!

Great to see everyone!  Shelley and I made it back to Norman with no issues.  Of course, it was a lazy 1.5 hour ride following Brad back after a lazy morning... breakfast wasn't till after we saw Mike off, saying bye to Buddy Karen.. we didn't eat til near 11 I think

Hope everyone else has such an enjoyable return ride!

Home from another successfull MOOTMAG!  Got to the homestead at just about 12:30 P.M. (No real reason to take the long way home when pulling your house with you.)
MM-11 is in the books, and the planning for MM-XII is already gearing up for next year.  Dave started everyone thinking about next year when closing the activities at Smokin Joes.

Thanks to everyone that ventured north of the Red River to enjoy some of Oklahoma's charmes.

Committee members watch a call to arms as we gear up for next year!

I made it home safely about 20 minutes ago, 4:30 my time.  I hit light rain in Huntsville and continued to the house, south of Houston.  I had a wonderful time seeing everyone and meeting new friends. Thanks again to the planning committee, and thanks to Brad for leading us on some great scenic routes and safe rides.  Time to unpack the bike and rest my back and butt.

Rick and I arrived 5 p.m. in Austin.  We left about 10:45 this morning after a leisurely breakfast at Boomarangs, and a ride up the hill revealed by Jerry.  Trailer in the barn, bikes still tied down inside.  Thanks to all who came, to Buddy and Brad for leading us around OK, to Dave and Brandon for fireside chats, to Terry for gift certificates and Magna wisdom.  It was great fun.

I think we got in around 2 pm.

Left much later than expected, up most of the night with a case of acid reflux and came close to knocking on your door Lawrence to see what meds Rick may of had to help.

On what is suppose to be 100% Real Gas, I went 113 miles and just hit reserve at 110, put in 3.75 Gallons which works out to 30 miles per gallon.

Did you go back on I35 Lawrence, I do not remember seeing your black trailer, although I was not looking, getting back at a pretty good clip so I was focused on traffic. Did you happen to see us?
