Author Message   Blake Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 03:42 pm:        Race weekend at Cresson this weekend. I'll be in Dallas delivering Mom to the airport (DFW) tomorrow morning. Anyone up for meeting me at the track to watch the endurance race and wander the pits causing trouble? Fri 06/09 - LSTD Track Day and CMRA Rider's School Sat 06/10 - Mini Sprints / 2 HR Mini End / 6 HR CMRA Endurance Sun 06/11 - Sprints Then first weekend of July at OHR... Fri 06/30- LSTD Track Day and CMRA Rider's School Sat 07/01 - Mini Sprints / 6 HR Mini Endurance Sun 07/02 - Sprints I'm not too motivated to go racing in the inevitable heat of Summer this go round. But I'll probably go out and spectate an again, cause trouble in the pits. Let me know if you are interested in meeting up.   Blake Posted on Saturday, June 10, 2006 - 05:57 pm:        Today is out. Y'all should check out the sprint races Sunday afternoon though. You'll likely see a future roadracing star. Ben Spies and Colin Edwards and Nicky Hayden were all CMRA racers. And of course Kevin Schwantz.   Rpmchris Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 07:15 am:        Thunderbikes of North Texas has a LONG RIDE scheduled for this coming Saturday, June 17. We'll leave at 10am sharp from HD/Buell of Dallas 304 Central Expy S Allen, TX 75013-2794 (We're having a "meet'n greet" at 9am for those interested in joining TNT). Our first stop will be at: Longhorn HD 2618 W Interstate 20 Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7031 It takes 45-50 minutes to ride from HDD to Longhorn. We'll leave Longhorn HD at 11am sharp. We'll be riding SW of Dallas, eating lunch in Glen Rose. Please go to www.thunderbikes.org and post up if you're planning on riding with us!   Steve899 Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 11:42 pm:        Blake cause trouble in the pits? I don't believe it!   Rpmchris Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 11:53 am:        TNT June ride report: Micah "Slowride", Chris "HagXB12", Dan "Lootenantdan1203", and I rode the SW route on Saturday, June 17. We met at HDD in Allen at around 9am, and when we left at 10am the weather didn't look too promising. Dale (owner of HDD) helped us make the decision to ride when he pulled up the current radar, showing the rain dissipating. We felt a few sprinkles on the way down to Longhorn HD, and a few more when we got there. But, looking to the SW, we actually saw blue sky WAAAAAAY off in the distance. At 11am, we decided to chance it, and boy are we glad we did! The sky cleared up at about 11:20 and once the roads dried out (maybe 20 minutes later - we had to be very cautious for awhile), the riding was GREAT! We stopped and did the obligatory lunch at Hammond's BBQ in Glen Rose and headed home. We were dirty, full, and tired, but totally satisfied. Thanks, guys, for a great day!   Blake Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 02:08 pm:        Hey Steve! Will you be at the track in two weeks? Nice report Chris. Would your group feel like converging on East Texas for a couple day so of riding and racing out here in September?   Steve899 Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 11:17 pm:        Hey Blake, I will not be at OHR in two weeks. my days with racing have come to an end. It simply got to big for my liking, though I would like to see you and Keith, it will have to be on a track day there, I will let you and Keith know the next time I am in town. Maybe we can get that Buell of yours out to the Hill, now that would be fun!   Rpmchris Posted on Monday, June 19, 2006 - 06:47 am:        Yeah, it's possible. We have rides scheduled for September 16 AND 17. PM me to let me know what you have in mind, and we'll see if it fits into our plans. I was out that way with Bart a couple of weeks ago (not as far east as you - we were still west of Tyler, but found a few decent twisty roads there).   Blake Posted on Monday, June 19, 2006 - 11:02 am:        Nothing in particular, just that if anyone would like to come out and see some racing and ride I'd be up for helping out. I may do some corner working so instead of just causing trouble in the pits I can wreak havoc on the track too.   Blake Posted on Monday, June 19, 2006 - 11:04 am:        Sounds good Steve. Will let you know when the old Buell is up for a track day. Planning on this fall sometime.   Xbalex Posted on Monday, June 26, 2006 - 10:00 pm:        hey fellow buellers, just moved to the metroplex would like to meet up with some of you guys and go for a ride.anybody know of a cool place to hang out at after the sun goes down?   Cowtown Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 09:11 am:        Alex, What part of the metroplex did you move to. There is a local BRAG chapter "Thunderbikes of North Texas", the sponsoring dealership is in Allen.   Xbalex Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 06:58 pm:        Paul, just moved to irving i read the posts about T.N.T. but i usually work on saturdays.any night time events that you know of.   Cowtown Posted on Wednesday, June 28, 2006 - 11:41 am:        Alex, Good news, you live in the middle of the metroplex, so you’ll be an equal distance from where ever we ride. Bad news, you’ll be an equally long distance from where ever we ride. TNT has scheduled a long ride on Sunday every other month. Here’s the link www.thunderbikes.org look for the calendar button at the top. The next Sunday ride is July 16th.   Rpmchris Posted on Wednesday, June 28, 2006 - 08:03 pm:        If there is interest in meeting for an evening, we have several options. I just have to know in advance so I can ride to work. Welcome to the DFW Metroplex, Alex! We look forward to meeting and riding with you.   Rpmchris Posted on Wednesday, June 28, 2006 - 08:04 pm:        I just emailed the July/August newsletter. If you don't receive it and still want to, PM me your current email address.   Blake Posted on Thursday, June 29, 2006 - 10:04 am:        If y'all are going to send folks to your own web forum from here, how about a reciprocal link back to BadWeB?   Cowtown Posted on Friday, June 30, 2006 - 03:10 pm:        Good day all, I was thinking about a mid morning till mid afternoon ride tomorrow that will take me south and west of the Brazos. I rode some roads last Saturday in that area and half of them I liked and half I didn’t. I routed a new ride that will leave out the parts I didn’t like and includes some new roads I want to check out. I’m going to ride 2-up with my wife, so I’ll be cruising between 33-3500 rpms. If anyone is interested email me before 4:30 today or call me anytime. The ride will be about 200 miles from SW Fort Worth.   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Thursday, July 06, 2006 - 07:48 pm:        I was curious if any of the DFW Buellers are UFC fans. If so would anyone like to meet up to watch the fight Saturday night? I am going to Fox & Hound (off of Skillman & 635) to see Ortiz beat Shamrock and I am hoping to have some other Buellers there to BS with. BTW the way in case you are using mapquest the actual address is 10051 Whitehurst Drive , Dallas, TX 75243 Later, Bart   Navygunner Posted on Thursday, July 06, 2006 - 11:24 pm:        I was a Ken Shamrock fan from back in his WWF days (He must be 100 years old now). If I can get a kitchen pass from the wife I may stop in. What time does it Start and end so I can give her an idea.   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Thursday, July 06, 2006 - 11:59 pm:        The undercard matches begin at 9:00 PM. I am not sure what order they will be going in but typically the main event is the third or fourth match. So I would figure 10:30-11:00. BTW I know you don't know me from Adam but I am glad you are home. Later, Bart   Rpmchris Posted on Friday, July 07, 2006 - 07:49 am:        We're taking the Talimena Tour on Sunday, July 16! 8:00 AM (kickstands up, full tanks and bellies) Depart HD/Buell of Dallas in Allen 10:00-10:15 AM Gas up near West Fort Towson, OK 12:30 PM 234 miles Arrive in Mena, AR (ride is officially over at this point) Eat lunch After lunch, everone is free to ride where/how they wish. Some will be traveling the Talimena Scenic Road to Talimena State Park-North Entrance, and probably back again. We'll return to DFW around 6-7 PM, possibly stopping for a light dinner along the way. Please post up if you are planning on attending. PM me with an email address and I'll send you a route map.   Blake Posted on Friday, July 07, 2006 - 11:19 am:        As newlyweds Michele and I lived in an apartment on Whitehurst Drive. The good old days, no money, still in school, motorcycle as only means of transportation.   Skully Posted on Friday, July 07, 2006 - 02:13 pm:        Livin' on love!   Skully Posted on Friday, July 07, 2006 - 09:42 pm:        Hey DFW Buellers, I'm disappointed that none of you stopped by the DarkHorseMoto paddock last Sunday at Oak Hill Raceway. It was located at Turn 1 in an area known as "Laguna Blaka". Keith   Dago Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 08:39 am:        What was up with that Arlovski/Silvia fight? I surely didn't expect to see a fight like that. I would have liked to see the ref keep the Ken/Tito fight going for another few seconds. I can remember seeing Ken explode out of situations like one more than one occasion in the past. Keith, sorry nobody showed. I too was alone at the track this last weekend. So don't feel bad.   Blake Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 12:27 pm:        Alone at the track beats having company at work.   Dago Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 01:18 pm:        AMEN my brotha!   Rpmchris Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 07:19 pm:        I'm really sorry I couldn't attend any track days, guys... I hope everyone involved had some personal bests!   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 07:50 pm:        Frank Mir needs to hang it up. IMO Arlovski and Silvia showed that neither was very confident against the other, not a good showing. As far as the stoppage by Herb Dean, well it is a bit "iffy". There were five unanswered blows that were not being defended against. At the same time knowing Shamrocks history of taking a lot of punishment just to get back to his feet makes me feel that the call could go either way. The thing that makes me wish it would have continued is the bad blood between the two and the fact that it was not squashed. BTW Wanderlei Silva is going to take Chucks title. Then maybe that will open the door for Fedor and CroCop.
