MOOTMAG 2015 - Mena Arkansas - 13th annual Meet and Greet

[guywheatley]

Sorry guys. I should have popped on here with a warning. As far as I know , US 75 is open. I know that I-30 is open. Everything crossing the Red River is closed down between US-75 north of Dallas and I-30 North of Texarkana. It's likely to be that way for a week at least.

[Smoked U]

Hwy 37 is the key. The Red River looks like the Ohio River now.

Come up through Clarksville Texas and cross on over to Idabel. OK

[Smoked U]

I made it back home ok.

Thanks everyone for showing up and continuing the tradition.

Thank you Dobie for the Cycylistic  products for our drawing. They are always very much appreciated.

[Jerry G Turner]

Made it home safely about 3pm. I always enjoy seeing everyone great times and fun riding with awesome people. Always looking forward to the next time. Just wanted to say thank you very much Dobie for your continued support of this group. And a big thank you to Terry for your support we do appreciate it.

Awesome riding, terrific fellowship, good food, and great accommodations.  I was telling Steve that I think of these multi-day events as a riding clinic, because I always leave as a more knowledgeable rider.  Not just riding technique, but maintenance and equipment from gadgets to trailers, and reacting to a wide variety of unforeseen circumstances.    

A big thanks to www.cycle-istic.com and http://www.cli-maxridinggear.com/ for the generous contributions, also to V4Jeff for contributing the USB adapter that I won only two days after finding out that, hey, I NEED one of those!  A public thanks to Smoked U for taking the lead and making the entire event possible. 

I'm already looking forward to next year, especially if Colorado or Big Bend ideas pan out.  Outskirts of Austin might be an idea too.

I left Lawrence's at 5:30 and made it home myself a few minutes ago.  Great time.  Thank you guys for making it such a great time. I hauled off a bundle of door prizes; thanks to CLI-max, Cycleistics, Alamo Cycleplex, Dave, and all you great guys and gals.

Now to get ready for the next one.

Marc and I made it back to Houston / Katy area safely. 

It was great meeting new faces and seeing the people I've known for years. I really enjoyed spending time with everyone. I also want to thank everyone for their help and compassion when I decided to do some helmet testing.

And thanks to Cycle-istic and Cli-Max for sponsoring our event as well.

Looking forward to the video.

Thanks for letting us drip all over your Airstream trailer.

Thanks for a great MOOTMAG, everyone.  It was a really great experience meeting everybody and the rides were a total blast.  I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond.  I was immediately pressed into service with family matters. 

It was a great gathering.  Good rides and great people.  Thanks to Dobie and Rick for generous donations, Dave for leadership, and Karen for impromptu hospitality.

Are we really "Too dumb to come in out of the rain"?  As for me, the drought in Central Texas had gone on for so long, I just stood there and laughed with glee!

I hope Jesse is healing as fast as I am.  While I am skipping tonight's tennis, I expect to play on Thursday.

[Marc Albea]

Had a great time as always.  Wonderful people, fantastic rides and good food plus bunches thanks to Dobie and Terry as well as Dave and others some great door prizes for the attendees.

I always look forward to MOOT MaG.

After a much longer than necessary drive I arrived home safe Sunday evening.

Huge thanks to all the MOOTMaG attendees for making this a great event once again. You guys are the best group I've ever ridden with by far, and it's all of you along with your passion for riding these machines that make MOOTMaG awesome year after year. Though my Magna is going up for sale shortly, I'm gonna' continue to ride with you guys until you kick me out!

Thanks too to Dobie, Terry, Scott, and all the others who contributed to the door prize pool. We had a great selection of stuff to choose from!

I'll sort the video and remove the trash files shortly. I'll have the torrent available as soon as I remember how to set up the seed.

Cheers all, and see ya' next year! I'll see if I can put together a proposal for a Colorado MOOTMaG. It's a bit of a drive but man is it worth it to ride those roads!

[TLRam1]

Yes I made it back.

Busy I have been and posted up photos in the other thread. Thanks to everyone who contributed, seems like most did in one way or another. For the ones who missed it there were some great Door Prizes.

You did miss out if you did not make it not only on the door prizes but the people, getting away from your troubles, great planned rides, good food, twisty roads, a chance to ride a Electric bike compliments of V4 Jeff, showing your maneuvering skills on some tight steep grades, great weather, chance to see the inside of a Air Stream , a chance to meet our forum developers (you could pay them off like I did and get preferential treatment, they are on the take) .

Thanks again to Dave for doing the legwork on this again to make it happen.

Thanks for a great MOOTMAG, everyone.  It was a really great experience meeting everybody and the rides were a total blast.  I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Steve has a great looking paint job on his bike, if you get a chance post some photos Steve so others can see. Steve also rode home on his new great looking Cobra seat.

I think for every ad that Jeff posts on Craigslist, we'll just report him as scammer so they'll take the ad down and he'll have a Magna next year.   Either that or you can just make sure whoever you sell it to will be a cool new MOOT member.

I'll sort the video and remove the trash files shortly. I'll have the torrent available as soon as I remember how to set up the seed.

Cool. I won't have the FTP ready any time soon so I'll try to pull down the torrent and edit it together with my footage (minus my helmet testing run).

Cheers all, and see ya' next year! I'll see if I can put together a proposal for a Colorado MOOTMaG. It's a bit of a drive but man is it worth it to ride those roads!

I think it would be a great "first". Go for it.
