MOOTMaG 2014

[v4_jeff]

I'll be riding in Thursday morning, so I'd appreciate it very much if you could hold off until Thursday or Friday evening for the bat cave. I really want to see that! Saturday worked well for the prize distribution last year, and that's when the PLM folks are planning on hanging out with us so it'd be good to have everyone in one place for their visit. I'm not sure when they'll be getting into town, but I'd love to be able to meet them out on the road somewhere so they can get some action shots. After all, we're there to ride!

Is anyone passing through Austin on their way to MM'14 with some trailer or truck bed space for a small commuter bike? I'll ride the Mag down, but I'd love to be able to show off the Zero to you guys.

[hop along]

Does anyone have one of those fancy 'point and shoot' thermometers they can bring to MOOTMaG?  I've fairly convinced myself, by a seat of the pants observation, that my Magna is generally running a lil hot.  I also hope to get anyone with a mechanic's ear to listen to it.  I've got myself fairly worked up that it is making new noise, I'd even had the local shop check it out, and after a nice little labour fee tell me it's just fine.  (Maybe I'm just looking for a reason to buy a new bike!)   
See y'all soon!  I might even have a buddy coming to visit from Colorado.  He's not on a Magna.  In fact I'm not sure what he's riding right now.  But he can regale us with some good stories of his 6 week Alaska trip a year or two ago

Marty- what time were you wanting to leave Grapevine on Wed., for MM12?  I will be coming from OK, and can come through the DFW area.

Hey Brad,
Early after sunup and b4 rush hour would b ideal for me but I'm flexible, as you're the one with the longer haul. To keep you on I35W and out of the construction and traffic, we could meet south of I20 and perhaps catch anyone else leaving other parts of the metroplex.  On the southbound side of I35W off exit 43 at Sycamore School Rd, there's an Exxon and a nearby Whataburger and Jack In The Box.

Further south, there's also a Burger King at exit 38 (Alsbury Blvd) in Burleson just past Alsbury Blvd, not sure if there's gas right there.  Certainly open to other ideas!

Dave,

Do you think the restaurant across Hwy 83 from the Texaco where we eat breakfast frequently would let us post a note to let late arrivals know which way we went and when we might be back.  We could do it at the cabin, but that is out of the way.

I've got some bright orange paper we can use.

See you Wed morning.

I will be headed out Wed as well name a place and time and I will be there.

Mootsters,

I cannot get away until Thur.  I hope to be in Leakey between 5:00 and 6:00 pm.  If I am running late and you guys head out for dinner/bat cave/other chicanery before I arrive, someone please text me at 972 768 8165 (assuming cell service) or leave a note at the Lodge.  I'll catch up.
If you don't, I'll be stuck at Lodge with nothing to do except sample your beer and whiskey.

Looks like summer due to arrive in Leakey about the same time we do. 

Dave, I still have a bed at the Lodge, right?

I have been looking forward to next week for months.

Yes, I think everyone would enjoy the bat flight. We need to watch the weather and pick a good night.

Yes, you have a pillow on which to lay your head.

I will be headed out Wed as well name a place and time and I will be there.

Between 0800 and 0900, I will be having breakfast and gassing up at the Exxon TigerMart/Whataburger at the corner of US 67 and FM157 in Venus, Texas.

Kickstands up at 0900 sharp. Doing the usual route down US 67 and Texas 16. Lunch in Llano at Cooper's Pit BBQ.

I plan to arrive at Crider's about 5:00 pm.

I don't see why they wouldn't let us tape it to the door if we are buying gas there. Good idea.

I will be there if there is a thunder storm I may come early. Looking forward to next week.

We will be leaving Wednesday afternoon and make it part of the way in and arrive sometime Thursday. If you do leave information decide where and what kind so we can determine if we are able to catch up with the group.

In addition, who checks their phone on a regular basis, I can text you Thursday at various times to see what the plan is or where you are. I have Verizon and at some point will lose reception, post up or PM your number to me.

[Brad Badgett]

Hop-a-long and I will be leaving ~6am from Norman, using a route to miss the DFW rush hours.  Will be in Stephenville ~10:30, and then on to Llano.  We should catch up between Stephenville and Llano.  Cell # 405-618-9335 for those in the DFW group.  Leave a message when going through Stephenville so we can hook up.  We plan on a brisk pace until Stephenville.

I have some bubble wrap I will bring to wrap wine glasses or pilsners.
