I want to know what's wrong with motorcycles as a primary sport. Sounds like a good father daughter bonding opportunity to me, besides this gives you a good reason to upgrade now and then.   Birdsong Posted on Monday, January 17, 2005 - 07:27 pm:        Don't get me wrong, she will spend some time with her dad on the bike, but I need to get her or her brother in a sport that can help daddy retire. I think I am taking the ZZR and the ZX10r off the wish list. got three quotes on insurance, for one year full coverage $2475 to $2850   White95s2 Posted on Monday, January 17, 2005 - 07:54 pm:        $2400... good god!!! I just got a quote for something a bit different. $1400/yr. for full coverage on a Cessna for me with just a student license. It's insane that insurance companies can charge twice as much for a $10000 bike than a $100000 airplane.   Birdsong Posted on Tuesday, January 18, 2005 - 07:36 am:        I pay $450 now for full coverage. My brother has a 2004 Interceptor, pays $375   Birdsong Posted on Sunday, January 30, 2005 - 09:00 pm:        Kawasaki is History ! Drove to Dallas and picked this up. 03' Honda Interceptor, 980 miles. got a sweet deal. The Boy likes it too !   Goldenboy9r Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 - 03:23 pm:        Whistle,the scooter is up and running. Played hookie f/ work today and had a nice cruise. Let me know when you want to head back to the forest, or anyone else for that matter!!!   Philip Posted on Wednesday, March 02, 2005 - 02:32 am:        road_thing or any other houstonian.. anyone know of a machine shop that could machine the center hole on a set of steel car wheels from 2 3/4 in. to 2 15/16? not sure if a lathe is needed or a mill. i guess i need a small piece work shop. thanks for any help. philip   Enp83 Posted on Wednesday, March 02, 2005 - 02:46 am:        looky looky looky... http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlo/79R/billtext/HB01522I.HTM I sincerely hope it passes for you guys, not sure when they're voting on it but I would contact your respective representatives and senators (of the Texas STATE legislature)   Road_thing Posted on Wednesday, March 02, 2005 - 10:18 am:        Philip: I don't know of one offhand, but it doesn't sound like a big job. It might be possible on a brake drum lathe--have you tried asking at your local garage? Is it just one wheel, or all 4? rt   Whistle Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2005 - 01:28 pm:        Enp83-Yeah I saw that, and I'm friggin stoked! Hope it goes through! Goldenboy9r-let's kill some twisties. the race kit is coming!!! Us houstonians need to get together fer a BBQ or somethin! I've only met two of you guys!!! later, Nick   Road_thing Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2005 - 04:30 pm:        Nick: Watch this space... rt   Rpmchris Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2005 - 06:28 pm:        Hey, RT - let's do something farther north (for you) so a few of us DFW Buellers can come down! I'm dying for a ride south - I don't wanna wait for Twisted Texas!   Road_thing Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2005 - 07:11 pm:        Chris, we'll undoubtedly be doing a BBQ ride to el ranchito chingadero near Brenham sometime this spring. I'd love to see some of you DFW guys come down! rt   Whitetrashxb Posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 12:21 pm:        what about us Austinites? we wanna play too later, james   Road_thing Posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 01:43 pm:        James: Watch this space... rt   Roadrunr Posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 05:20 pm:        You Austinities have your own bad ••• weekend in the Hill country...."Thrills in the Hills" (which I missed last year...s#@t), why you wanna come to the flatlands?....Anybody wanna do crawfish next weekend, weather providing? I,m about to be chasing R.T. down the other side of the hill (big 41)gotta do it before arthritis sets in!!!   Whitetrashxb Posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 06:00 pm:        Thrills is great, but too bad it's only ONCE A YEAR... yeah, i wouldn't think theres much in riding around H-town, but i've never ridden thru Brenham... as a matter of fact, next time i ride down to see the folks in Orange, i was thinking about bypassing Houston all together and taking 105 the long way.. i think it connects from 290 all the way to Beaumont.. any of y'all ridden that route? you had to go and mention crawfish, now i'm homesick...   Road_thing Posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 06:37 pm:        RR: You'd better run hard, I've got a big head start on you! Crawfish next weekend sounds like a definite possibility. It'll tune us up for the week after, we'll be in New Orleans all week on "awl bidness!" rt   Philip Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2005 - 02:49 am:        i found out a friend of mine did some auto a/c work for the shop manager of the machine shop next door and said anything he needed to just let him know. so... he will be taking the 4 wheels over to be hogged out! sweet! roadrunr.. rachel has opening day with parade and a game for softball on the 12th and i have a benefit for a friend who got clipped on the freeway and broke his arm and wrist. post the time and day and i'll see if i can make it. also.. happy b-day. your only 9 1/2 years behind me. keep pedaling! later.. philip   Roadrunr Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2005 - 07:16 am:        105 is not a bikin road. It's more of a see how fast you can go road. I have driven it from conroe to beaumont, Booooorrriiiinngggggg   Rpmchris Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2005 - 01:22 pm:        Anytime, RT! I'm itching to ride with some Tejas Buellestis!   Birdsong Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2005 - 08:42 pm:        RR, we are planning the Big Bend trip again, looks like May 13 - 17. I thinks thats a Friday - Tuesday. We have about 10 bikes right now, Mostly Sport bikes with a couple of cruisers.   Roadrunr Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2005 - 06:11 am:        You trying to rub it in or is that an invite? I seriously doubt I could go, this is my busy season at work plus me n the misses are going to jamaica the last week in march but you never know, if things slow down I may go.   Road_thing Posted on Tuesday, March 08, 2005 - 05:43 pm:        Attention Houston, DFW, Austin and Kilgore Buellers! ...and all points in between... How about a BBQ ride to El Ranchito Chingadero on Sunday April 17? rt   Whitetrashxb Posted on Tuesday, March 08, 2005 - 05:51 pm:        RT- any chance it could scheduled for a saturday instead of a sunday? just curious thanks, james   Road_thing Posted on Tuesday, March 08, 2005 - 07:21 pm:        James, whatever works best for the most people is what we'll do. If anybody has a strong preference for a date other than Sunday 4/17, let's hear it! rt   Buellerthanyou Posted on Wednesday, March 09, 2005 - 04:15 am:        RT, I like Saturday, the 16th also...gives everybody a day to recover! Es su Ranchito set up for camping or any such foolishness? Inquiring Austinites want to know!

RT you still wanna get primed for LA this weekend? Saturday around 3ish till wheneverish. Anyone else in for some good eatin?

I wanna start planning the longest way there!
