RR, Where did you guys leave from? We were at the Exxon around 8, waited around ,then headed down to Easyriders on HWY 6. They used to serv breakfast there. Call me the next time you head out, if you don't mind having a Kawasaki hanging out. |

Cool, I have to keep it under 4000 RPM for 500 Miles. Got About 75 miles more to go. At 4000 RPM I was still able to get about 75MPH. It was hard to keep it under. I wanted to get on it so bad. I have to keep it under 6000 RPM for 1000 miles. There were a ton of bikes out sunday. I read on Houston Sportbike network that a Ducati Monster had a serious spill on 149 Sunday afternoon. just south of the forest. Said he was a new rider. |

Wind? What wind? Was it windy yesterday? I just put my feet up on the highway pegs and screwed the throttle down around 60 mph and stroked it on down the road... r-t |

Brent, the wife and I went on the Ride-4-Kids last year with Dr John. It was huge and for a good cause too, there was every street bike known to man there. They also feed you pretty well too. Let's get some folks together and sign up? |

I'm thinking I might not want to bring my trailer with me if I could find a comfortable couch to crash on the weekend of the 6-9Mar. Does anybody have said couch available in the 1-10 area? Sure would be appreciated if anybody could help me do this on a low budget. www.chevydan1@hotmail.com |

Well, I guess I could do without my couch those days. Where on I-10 would you like me to put it?.. |

It does, doesn't it? The tail section is too narrow in the back though, and I think I see what appears to be the rear shock mount under the seat. Too bad about the kid. I'll bet it was his first bike. |
