Ooops!!!...Josh is right, April 4th...Josh, thanks for the catch...Ya gotta watch out for these old guys... At least by now you guys are getting some sleep...That first two months are a bitch!...Not much fun riding when you're falling asleep... Hope to see you First Saturday...You and SueZQ can trade 1125R stories...She is in love with hers... Did you see Steve Long's public apology to his Uly?...Pretty funny... Bob | ||

Just a reminder...First Saturday Ride this coming Saturday, April 4th...Kickstands up from the Eureka QT at I-44 and MO 109 at 0900...Try to get there enough before to gas and meet the others, say around 0830 or so...The destination is a GREAT BBQ place and some even greater roads to get there... And the forecast is for 69 and SUNNY!!! Thanks, Bob | ||

Hoping to make it Saturday. What time do we usually end up back in town? | ||
| Racerboy |
You can get back home any time you need to be there...The ride discipline we follow is thus: At each turn point the rider waits for the rider behind them... If you are going to leave the ride because you have to get home let the rider IN FRONT of you know so that they know to wait for someone else at the next turn...And then both of you wait for the rider behind you before you split so that both the rider in front and the rider behind you know you're cutting out...Other wise they'll be coming back looking for you... Some will turn back on the way to lunch...Some right after lunch and some will be changing to clear shields and burning holes in the night... Look forward to seeing you there... Bob | ||

Great! That helps a lot. I did the Harley Rider's Edge Group Riding Safety Course over the Winter too | ||
| Racerboy |
It will be interesting what you think after riding with us as to how what you learned in the Group Riding Safety Course applies...When BRAG was active we were offered access to some of the same officer training that HOG officers attended and I remember watching a group ride video by H-D and thinking that it just would not work for Buell rides...So I am wondering how well they have accommodated the Buell crowd?...Remind me to talk to you about this at lunch on Saturday... What we emphasize is that our "group rides" are NOT group rides...Each rider is responsible for riding at a pace that is comfortable for themselves and be damned with what pace others want to ride at...But it is so easy to get caught up in the "keep up" mentality that this is when we often experience problems...Just remember this: We're all a pretty good bunch of gals and guys and no one minds waiting a bit for the rider behind them...Ever...It is far better to wait a bit then to be going back and calling for a helicopter... Thanks, Bob | ||

I was just wondering which St. Louis area Buell dealer has the most accessories/shirts. I'll be in the area this weekend and would like to stop by one. | ||
| Josh_ |
If you'll actually be in St Louis then your only choice is Gateway HD/Buell on Lemay Ferry near Lindberg Blvd. On a big map it's where I55 hits 270/255 south of the city. They have a small selection of shirts and accessories. | ||
| Mideon |
It's actually a lot better than it was, especially now that they have a whole Buell section of the store. Talk to Theresa! | ||

Pete, Mark off on your calendar the First Saturday of each month...There is a ride that leaves from the Eureka QT at I-44 and MO 109 at 9:00 a.m...We usually head south to the "good" roads...Try to get there by around 8:30 or so to gas up and meet the group... I look forward to riding with you... Bob | ||

Hey Bob! I have been to France, Germany, Poland, Sweden so far. One more week and I get to come home and ride again! | ||
| Racerboy |
Piotra, Well, that's pretty cool...I've never been to Poland or any of the Scandinavian countries...If you're going to get to the Netherlands and Amsterdam?...Have fun!!!... We'll look forward to hearing about your trip when you get back but, bummer, that you're not riding over there... Bob | ||
| Racerboy |
Tom, I cross posted the May 31st ride to the MSTA Yahoo Group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MO-SIL-MSTA/messages Also we have added it to our calendar of events with a couple of auto reminders to gen before the 31st... I rode an 1125R one day from your shop but it will be very cool to ride one on 32...I hope that SueZQ can make it on the 31st...We'll just have to see if they're out of town doing the No-Mar thing at a track or some such... Thanks, Bob | ||
| Tomb |
I just thought I would post up a reminder about the ride sunday. | ||
| Mideon |
Meeting at 9am Sunday at Gateway right? | ||
| Racerboy |
Boy, are we getting lucky with the wx tomorrow, or what?...Two nice days and then back into the wet once again... Our group is leaving from the Eureka QT at 1000 hrs so we should see you in Potosi and if not there, then Bixby... Unless someone has made special arrangements, Bridget doesn't open until noon on Sunday... Thanks, Bob | ||
