A natural extension of my "always pound with someone else's pliers" doctrine. We are, augmenting our collectively acquired nasty habits, "men of one mind". |

OK, Ranchito Riders, the moment of truth draws nigh! I'll be going offline tomorrow morning for the duration of the weekend, so if anybody needs to know anything about the ride, or wants to sign up, speak now or forever hold your peace! rt |

No firm ride plans, I'm just gonna let it happen. I was thinking about burgering a little after noon, but if a ride breaks out, I may put it off. Whatever works for the assembled multitudes, that's what I'm gonna do! Tell Shannon we'll miss her! rt |

A BIG Thanks Mr. & Mrs. RT. I really enjoyed meeting everyone, the good grub, salsa, home brew,etc... I made it home with just a little rain Saturday. and for all the inquiring minds, all of my fingers are fine. Guess I had better invest in a throttle lock and practice good finger exercises while riding. Can't you get arrested for that??? |

I am an idiot.... I forgot to gather everybody together for a group shot. Must have been the beer--I blame Hootowl! These will have to do... These were taken before I began to lose focus... I'll post more later! rt |

Here is a picture of FlyHoSilver before the rain set in; documented proof that you can tour/camp on an S1. Hey Tom, why are there three photos of me sneezing in the lineup? hahaha

Here is a picture of the Austin crew's bikes, ready to ride to the Ranchito. I should have gotten the riders in the picture also.

Two more of our Buell brethren joined us en route. It was nice how they motioned us past and caught us from the rear. The pack gained two XB riders without having to slow down.

Hootowl, your homebrew was awesome, but James and I both think that it was non alcoholic. Here is a pic of you preparing to taste your handiwork. Thanks bro for the brewhahahaha.

Do y'all recognize this guy? Here is Blake doing a public service announcement for "all the gear, all the time." He was definitely the right height for this bike.
