Well I have seen this place on the Food channel many times and want to try it out. We will leave out Saturday TTBD and ride to Snook,Texas which is right below College Station and eat at Sodolak's Original Country Inn they are famous for the Chicken Fried Bacon I can just feel my arterys hardening just thinking about it :lol: :lol: but it is one of those things I want to try so I figure why not do it with my friends !!! Give or take this is about a 65 mile ride out there but should be fun.. Hope to see you there.
So here we go the date of the ride Aug 16th Saturday I will take suggestions on what time we leave maybe later to let it cool down or whatever let me know what you think 8)
I saw that also, Allen, man you will weigh 10 more pounds coming back!
You will too if ya show up like you should LOL Just kidding hope you can make it !!!!
From my home it's about 90 miles. Depending on time of day and weather, I might come. :cool:
This is within my normal riding area, some great roads getting there. Just let me know where and when to meet up!
Was invited to join a Harley group going there a few months ago, but I didn't think they could keep up.
Count me in.
I've had this saved as a favorite for a while now with every intention to ride there for the Chicken Fried Bacon. If I can leave Corpus Christi tomorrow.... count me in!!

Chicken fried bacon with gravy and rolls. Lipitor pudding for dessert :shock:
I'll bet it's easy to outrun the cops on foot in Snook, TX.
I might just make this depending on the weather.
This ride is the weekend of the 16th not this weekend but the next. And the cops there have the easy life for sure except for all the heartattack calls... LOL

I guess I could've made it sound like I thought it was this weekend...... the probelm I was facing was staying in CC for the whole next week or getting to come home for a week or two and going back later. Luckily plan "B" won and I got to come home for a week or two. Hope I didn't get anyone thinking they were going to clog some arteries earlier than scheduled.
Dang, this sounds like I could make a ride out of this. Greg, Bob or anyone else from DFW area that wants to ride down, let me know and I'll put something together. Only intrepid riders need apply, it looks like a 500 plus mile day.
Curtis
I will have to play this one by ear with the JOB, I could be on days by then or still on nights grrrrr.

Curtis
I'm interested as long as it isn't 150 degrees outside.
Alright looking better all the time now what time do you think we should do this !!!!!!
Well, I don't ride after dark, so meeting for lunch would work for me.
I really just want a taste of this heart stopping concoction, so I can say I have tried it. Most of all, I want to see you guys again, and this looks like a perfect excuse! 8)
Well from what I have been reading looks like there steaks are nothing to laugh at either!!! Yes very good reason to see everyone again for sure 8-) 8-)
I've heard that you want to treat the Chicken Fried Bacon as an appetizer, one order for several people, and order something to go with it.
Lunch time sounds good to me. That will give the DFW group time to get there and home during daylight. Will be great to see everyone for the first time and some again.
Tom
Ok so how does 2:00 sound that gives everyone time to get there from up north or central or east the Coastal group we need to figure out where to meet and work on a route if anyone has a route they would like to take let me know as I am off 45 right below Conroe and 105 is right here but figure we want to take some smaller back roads!!!
2:00 is great Allen, I'll start working on a route from DFW and it WILL be a "Curtis" route! Be forewarned, if I know my route planning there will be some challenging roads including the possibility of some gravel (hey I never know where my GPS will take us). Also, it will be a long day's ride and I will ride it at a spirited pace! Not for the faint at heart.
Curtis
2 p.m. is great. That will allow me to get in my normal Saturday morning tennis match before I leave, and still have a leisurely ride. Haven't plotted the route yet, but will probably just slide over to The King's Highway (21) and mosey on over there.
Anyone from Austin/San Antonio or environs that would like to come along, I would enjoy the company. 8)

Just make sure to stop for gas for the rest of us with 3 gallon tanks!
Feel free to keep yer gravel.
I guess we'll see how spirited it is after everyone greases it up down in Snook :smile:
I'll be coming up from Katy, we could meet up around Navasota or Independence. From there it is all back roads. I'm thinking 1:00 should put us in Snook with time to spare.
Tom
Yeah sounds good will find it and we will meet there at 1:00
QuoteFeel free to keep yer gravel.
I hear ya and agree. The only reason I said that is Len and I went for a ride last Saturday and what started out to be a nicely maintained, paved county road suddenly turned to gravel as we topped a hill. The bikes got dusted up pretty bad in the next two miles and then we were back on the highway.
Curtis
I'd love to go, but unfortunately, I am helping my parents move from New Iberia La. to Katy Texas!
Have some Chicken Fried Bacon For Me!

OK Curtis count me in ! Give me a call or let me know the details of the ride routes once ya get it laid out... Greg O MOOT#185
I think I've got it figured out. I have turned what would be a 200 mile ride (one way) taking about four hours into a 250 mile ride that will take seven or so. I'll be leaving the Valero at east I-30 and Dalrock road at 6:15 A.M. to start this one. I'll be there at 6:00 to meet up and fill up. I'll probably take a bit more direct route back, but still try to stay off the super-slab.
If anyone wants the route in S&T format or Garmin format, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.

I'll need some information to hook up with you guys somewhere after your start point. I'm in DeSoto of course.
I'm trying to put it together, I live in Arlington. If I am able to go I'll hook up with Smoked U to meet y'all.
Hope to see you there!
My route starts out S-SE from the first meeting place in order to rid ourselves of the metro-mess as early as possible, consequently no rendezvous opportunities are ideal. The best one would have ya'll riding east to Crandall (about 30 miles from Desoto). We'll be coming in from the north on HWY 741 to hit HWY 175 south and exit HWY 148 south. 175 and 148 is where the Cotton Gin is located so many are familiar with that location. Microsoft S&T puts us through there at 7:15 A.M. but depending on how we ride we could be earlier or later by a few minutes. Let's call it KSU no later than 7:30 from Cotton Gin if that is suitable.
Two alternate locations would be I-45 just north of Corsicana or the main intersection in Blooming Grove. These locations are 73 and 92 miles into my route respectively which makes them much less desirable because our via time could be very hard to nail down. If we do one of those it will be a "fly by" and not a "meeting/start location" and if we missed each other the rest of the group would need to be prepared to self-lead.
If anyone decides to take one of those last two options, we can discuss them in more detail, otherwise the intermediate meeting place will be the Cotton Gin in Crandall gassed up and ready at 7:15 to pull out no later than 7:30.

If you plan on joining me for this ride, please read the text so that you may be prepared for the type of ride this will be. I don't recommend this ride for anyone but experienced riders, as we will be riding at a spirited pace because of the distance and to make up for frequent stops necessitated by the heat and the need to stay hydrated.
Curtis
Good Lord You are the MAN that looks like an awesome trip Cannot wait to see you all again....
Holy Cow curtis! That's a ride!!!!

Universal translator: "spirited pace" = "speeding excessively" "peg scraping curves" :cool:
Looks like I'll be meeting you guys at the Cotton Gin. I'll bet I know one other rider that will be there too.
Groesbeck, Texas; home of the "Goats"
Trying to talk my brother into riding down with me, if this happens he and I will ride down together taking a less spirited and shorter route since he is not as experienced.
If I cant talk him into riding down (or he cant go) I am going to try and meet you guys at the Cotton Gin. However I may have something that might keep me out, so if I am not there ya know I cant make it.
Allen, I'll try to be waiting for you in Independence at the intersection of 50 and 390 around 1 pm. If you would like to meet somewhere else let me know.
Tom
Thats fine that is kinda towards the end of the ride out that Jesse planned but thats cool we will sure pass that way !!!
Hate to do it guys but I am going to have to miss this one, my brother wants to get more seat time so I feel it better to foster his riding.. He is excited to get more time in saddle so he can be comfortable enough to make rides such as this one..
Will make the next one hopefully with him in tow!!
Family first, Greg ........family first! 8) :D 8)
Curtis
Yep soon enough he will be out there getting High Colestoral right along side us :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: You guys have a safe trip and will see you there at 2 !!!!!!! 8) 8)
Hope you guys had safe rides and a great lunch. I flaked out on you because the radar looked like I would be riding in the rain on the way back, which I don't like at all. :sad:
Missed seeing all of you.
Hope no one has a heart attack on the way home!! :cool:
Well a what a great day of EATING Oh I mean RIDING :grin: :grin: :grin: :cool: We had a great ride out to Slodacks Country Inn which is a Steak house LOL and what steaks they have Xtra small was ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh HUGE :shock: :shock: the Dallas group had to turn back technical problems I guess... Anyhow the food was great but they did not serve dessert figured they fed you so much you would not need it...
They don't know us very well :grin: :grin: so we all decided we would make another run to Round Top and have some PIE well what can I say AWESOME !!!!! We ran into some rain when we almost got there and it got a little worse so we waited it out on the porch next door Lying about all kind of stuff the rain let up a little and we decided to go for it.
My rain stopped around Brenham and was a nice ride from there..
I want to thank the guys for coming out Jesse, David Morris, Jeff Handley and Tom we need to do this again SOON for sure!!!!!!!!!!
I had a great time. Good ride, Good Eatin, Great Company.

Allen, Wish I could have joined ya. At home working on bikes though.
Man I am hungry for a steak now!!!! Well I ended up making down to just south of Richland to hook up with the other Dallas group as they turned back north to do some mechanical issues.
My brother called and had some unexpected issues pop up and get in the way of him being able to ride today (he called about noon so a bit too late to make it to Snook, TX).
Just means we will have to setup another ride soon!
Here are the busted parts I got to replace today on Ms. Vee. It pays to have a parts bike hanging around.
The connection of the shifter lever to the linkage (a rivet type affair) just sheared through. This probably was helped along by my dumping the bike on the I-45 service road after rolling through some mud before entering the service road. Bent up the clutch lever and broke the windshield too.
Too bad our trip got cut short. Curtis, Greg and I were having a great time riding the twisties. Lots more adventures: gravel road turning to mud lane work around, bridge out (another work around), my footpeg/shifter trying to fall off.
We got to eat at the Farm House (peach cobbler with ice cream for dessert) in Mexia and then with Greg C. in Corsicana at the Sonic. Sorry we missed the cholesterolfest at Snook. You sure that is fried bacon? Looks like cow tongue to me :shock:
I rode Ms. Vee all the way from Mexia back to DeSoto in 3rd gear.
Once again the group left no man behind and rode with me all the way to the house where we sat around for an hour talking bikes and bull.
The best thing is we didn't get wet!!!
Well, when is the next ride???

cow tongue LOL you couldve fried anything and this group wouldve eatin it. All I know is that I gained about 5 lbs. this weekend and it did not taste like chicken.
But, We did get wet! Nothing on my bike looks like chrome anymore. Now I know what I've got to do this week.
Yeah, I got a little rain on the ride to work and back home today. Bike was already dirty, so I didn't mind too much.
Curtis
So someone go around the table and tell us who these folks are for the ones who haven't a clue.
(http://i37.tinypic.com/15qu8pe.jpg)
I think I got this right.
(http://i35.tinypic.com/29fbcqd.jpg)
We are normally all thinner that this! :)
Alright, great job David.....before I saw your second photo...you know what I was going to ask.
Yep and that was some good pie !!!! We will do it again real SOON :cool: :cool:
I want to say that Saturday's ride was sheer joy for me. I'm really looking forward to repeating that route some time. I know Dave felt bad about dumping his "Ms. Vee" and even worse when her broken shifter linkage prevented us from continuing, but we had already had such a good ride up to that point I really was content at that point. Here's what our route looked like including the mishaps and detours.
(http://mysite.verizon.net/res184gd/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/chickenfriedbacon3.JPG)
We really started to warm up by the time we reached FM 1603 through Chatfield. Everyone was riding solid and steady as we began to play a little. (Hey Dave, I pulled the tracks from my GPS and the slowest it showed in the 20 mph curve was 49 mph!) The only problem with this stretch is that there are several gravel quarries and where the trucks enter the roadway you have to watch for gravel. Unfortunately for Dave, those same trucks had smeared a light layer of mud into the intersections of 1603 and the I-45 service road. I was pulling up the entrance ramp when I glanced in my mirrors and noticed I was all alone. Going back I found Dave and Greg "picking up the pieces". We stopped momentarily at the Fina station to pull out the wrenches and massage Dave's highway peg back into position. Luckily there was no contact with the tank, but Dave's windshield was toast especially after we left it in the roadway for the trucks to devour.
After a short northern jog up I-45 we continued west toward Emhouse. I love these little towns that I never heard of before. As I turned right on 2930 I again felt no presence behind and looked back to find Dave working with his left footpeg. A bolt had fallen out, undoubtedly loosened by the earlier drop. I reverted back to my old boy scout ways and used Greg's letherman tool to cut a sturdy green branch to screw into the hole to align the peg mount. Well, Dave had a better idea and robbed a similar bolt from the rear footpeg. So much for a wooden Magna!
A few hundred yards after we were underway, my GPS indicated that we should take the gravel road to the left. It looked ok, and Greg and Dave seemed game so we went for it. Around the first bend (where I almost dumped when my front washed out on a damp spot) we saw that after the first house the road turned into a cart path. With no hesitation or discussion we began to turn our bikes around. After a moment to consult a county map (if you guys don't have "The Roads of Texas" you need to get it) we determined that we could go a short way around and come into Blooming Grove from the north (route noted on the map in red). This turned out to be a dandy road and I have amended my route for next time.
South of Blooming Grove we passed through Dresden, Silver City and Purdon; three charming small communities. It was along there that I almost had dove for an appetizer or early lunch. There were several large flocks of them in that area. There was lots of farming around there, so I'm sure they were fat ones! Anyone going dove hunting Sept. 1st? Ahem.......well, I'm getting side tracked where were we? Oh yeah, just about to come to our second detour. When we turned off Ranch Road 709 to Ranch Road 638 we noticed big orange signs that warned of "road construction ahead". I'm sure most of us thought at worst a bit of gravel or a turnout or small detour. WRONG!!! After traversing the six miles to the actual construction THEN the signs said "road closed". We were consulting the map to try to find a work around when it hit me (no not an idea, it was the other end calling). While I took care of matters down in the fence line, Greg continued consulting the map and Dave scouted out the bridge. When we had all come back to the huddle, Dave said that the bridge was not completely down yet. He even volunteered to go first. Greg and I just looked at each other's heavy Valks and said "uh uh"!!! he he he As you can see by the second red line detour on the map, we had to go considerably further this time and didn't find any good roads on this roundabout.
This detour had my GPS going in fits because it wanted to put us back on our route at the earliest juncture instead of continuing on to Mexia which any sane person would do. Somewhat like those folks who drive off in the creek following their GPS, I obediently turned toward Tehuacana and that's when for the third time I felt myself alone. Doubling back I found Dave and Greg again attending to Ms. Vee, this time though it was more than a dropped bolt. Dave's shift linkage was busted and no amount of head scratching availed us an idea on how to patch it up. After a couple of phone calls to area dealers (long shots we knew, but hey you have to try), we decided that Dave could ride in third gear. This would mean we wouldn't make Snook, but lunch was STILL ON!!!! (how could you think otherwise?)

GREG AND DAVE CONSULTING THE DEALERSHIP GURU
(http://mysite.verizon.net/res184gd/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/IMG_1292_7_1.JPG)
MS VEE COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A PRETTIER PLACE TO BREAK
We were just outside Mexia so Greg punched up some eating places on his bigger GPS and we selected the "Farm House" restaraunt. We were just sitting down to eat when Greg C. called. He needed rescue worse than we did. It seems he was stuck at the house with three college kids playing "Guitar Hero" or some such and was about to go out of his mind. Since we were going to take as straight a route back as possible to minimize wear and tear on Dave's clutch it would be easy for Greg to find us. We finished our lunch, complete with peach cobbler with ice cream (in some cases) and headed north out of Mexia toward Richland.
We met Greg just south of Richland and since he hadn't eaten yet we made the supreme sacrifice and endured another lunch stop at the Sonic in Corsicana. Sitting outside at their tables talking about whatever came up, we just let things be. Everyone needs to have a day as relaxing as this. It goes to show that even when things don't go as planned if you let the events sweep you away and take you where they will sometimes you reap more than you otherwise would.
After we were underway again we had one more stop before we got Dave and Ms. Vee escorted safely home. It seems Ms. Vee didn't like the steady 6000 RPMs under almost no load. Greg noticed a little smoke and smelled oil so they motioned that we should slow down. We took the next exit to check things out. After a thorough examination, we determined that Ms Vee was suffering from nothing more serious than a little indigestion. We supposed that the high vacuum and RPMs had pulled enough oil vapor into the breather for it to begin dribbling out. Just as a precaution we stayed there long enough for her to cool down and for us to swap a few more stories. We continued on at a slower pace and arrived at Dave's house in DeSoto without further excitement (well, Greg C. got kind of excited when we passed the DeSoto air port).
We stayed an hour or so at Dave's looking at all of his projects and discussing past experiences (no, we hadn't run out of stories yet) and then lit out again. We mentioned we were getting hungry again (do you notice a theme here?) and Dave recommended a few places in his area. Somehow though, we ended up back at the Cotton Gin where the day started. Kristi and the kids were kind enough to join us and we had another nice meal with good friends.
It just doesn't get any better than this.
Curtis
Well other than the shifter peg and a minor misstep sounds like it was a good day for all although I wish you guys could have made it we all made it home safe and thats what counts there WILL be a NEXT TIME !!!!
Sounds like two great trips, thanks for the write-up Curtis and the stories Dave.
You guys should have called and I would of ran parts to ya as I was sitting here working on bikes and riding could have been my peach cobbler!
Outstanding summary Curtis (as usual !)
It was a terrific ride even with the gremlins gnawing on Ms Vee.
The routes were fast, twisty and fun.
And ya forgot to mention the early morning dense fog as we set out at 6am
Thanks Curtis for plotting out the course , and it was great riding with Dave again
As is typical with the MOOT group the ride was an adventure.
Good roads, good food, good talk
By the time we got back to Daves stable o bikes we'd had 2 lunches and a few snacks
'twas a good day
Great write up Curtis. I'm too lazy to go into that much detail, but it gives those who weren't there a better picture of events.
School's getting back in, vacation is over and the temperatures are going down (hopefully). We need more of you guys to sneak off and ride with us. It's good therapy.
I dumped Baby Vee on my first bigger MOOT ride and now Ms Vee on this one. Maybe on our next adventure, I can get through it without a mishap. I still got a few more bikes to go through and don't want to set any patterns.
When I saw you shifting your rump over the seat on your Valk and pointing your knee, I knew we were in for a good turn. 49 MPH on a 20 MPH curve? It ain't knee dragging, but it's enough for me right now. We good!
QuoteGreat write up Curtis. I'm too lazy to go into that much detail, but it gives those who weren't there a better picture of events.
Yeah, it took me a few days to get around to it. I know how I enjoy other people's trip reports and how they influence my ride planning so I like to pass it on whenever I have the time. I don't report every trip but I get some of them done.
I'm definitely going to do this ride again so we can see what surprises are on the lower half. Hopefully no bridges out though. I found a better route around that one than the one we took, since they'll probably have it down for a year. When Len and I did the Hwy 4 ride out of Jacksboro a couple of weeks ago we found the same bridge that was out when I rode it a long time ago was still out.
Those curves are great fun, and it was good riding them with you and Greg O. I don't want any knee dragging action, it rattled my foot bad enough when I strayed close to the line on a left hander and bumped the pavement reflector with a peg!

Somehow I lost my reply... damn wifi.
I was saying that there is a place in Hutto that has a pie Happy Hour that I've been wanting to try. That might be worthy of a day trip.
http://www.texancafe.net/
Hey, both MagnaDaddy, who hails from Hutto, and I, from not so very far from there, will be quite happy to meet you there.
In the barbeque department, there is Kruez' and Black's in Lockhart, as well as The Salt Lick in Driftwood. For a further stretch, of course, there is always Coopers in Llano... :smile:
QuoteFor a further stretch, of course, there is always Coopers in Llano...
Further for who???? ha ha ha ha I've been to three out of the four you mentioned, each were Saturday lunch runs. Never been to Kruez', what's that?
Curtis
See http://www.kreuzmarket.com/index.shtml for details. One of the best.
Llano is further for folks from Katy or Houston -- maybe not for you, and certainly not for Jimmy!
Kreuz is on my list of places to go eat.... I guess we'll have to start a new topic and plan that one out soon.
Texan Cafe?
Oh Yeah, pies to die for! or maybe from, but at least you'll have a smile on your face as they throw the dirt in on top of you :D
