You are more than welcome to join us. If it's too far for you, you might want to think about starting a South West Rally thread and see who's interested.

xTKx · April 22nd, 2009, 07:49 AM

Hey everyone,

Just checking to see if anyone has any new ideas or dates which may help us all decide where to meet and on what dates. It looks like a majority have decided on the 23rd of May. Honestly, I won't be able to make it that soon, but as I said at the beginning it's going to be next to impossible to try and get a date where everyone can go. If that's what you guys decide I'm not worried about it. I can still help plan and coordinate things.

I know I'll meet all of you guys ... some day!

Mo1981 · April 22nd, 2009, 08:38 AM

If the date ends up being May 23rd, I will need to bow out as I will be in Hawaii then. Woooo!!! If it's any consolation, I will think about all of you while I'm chilling on the beach.

I am open to suggestions. For those of you that can't make it for May 23rd please give an alternate date. Perhaps some time in June. I also would not mind meeting up more than once, perhaps May 23rd and onother date in June.

Well then start a SW thread

Snake · April 23rd, 2009, 06:44 AM

So who's all in for May 23rd, somewhere around Houston?

bob706 · April 23rd, 2009, 08:24 AM

I'm in for 23 May in or around Houston. Just need a specific time and place and poc.

Tony, can you please suggest a good meeting place around Houston for May the 23rd at 10 a.m. ? Any help you can give is most appreciated.

hieuster · April 23rd, 2009, 10:07 AM

I'm up for the 23rd! Any specific location yet?

Sure Rick. I'm not from Houston and don't know the area very well, but after a tiny bit of research I've found a couple of resources ya'll might be interested in:

Ride Idea <--This looks like a pretty cool ride report from someone. I don't know exactly how far away it is from Houston (don't have the time right now), but it looks like Fulshear, TX might be a pretty cool spot.

Visit Houston Texas <-- This is a list of things to do around Houston. Maybe you guys can come up with some creative ideas using these places!

Danny might be the best person to ask since he's in Houston. What do you think Danny?

Snake · April 27th, 2009, 02:20 PM

Trying to see if more people are interested and someone from Houston please suggest a place to meet.

wazioc · April 27th, 2009, 07:57 PM

Another couple from Houston here, my Fiance is the one with the 250R

Strange · April 28th, 2009, 07:38 PM

Are we looking for something downtown or outskirts? I prefer outskirts simply because I hate Houston and it's law enforcement. (Was born there.

)

bob706 · April 28th, 2009, 07:43 PM

+1 for the outskirts.

wazioc · April 28th, 2009, 07:57 PM

Yeah, I like the outskirts too, I avoid downtown like its the plague. Sadly I think I'll have to go through downtown to get anywhere good... but I'll get over it.

Did you guys take a look at the link in my previous post that says "ride idea?" Someone talked about their journey through Fulshear, TX and said they had a blast. It's about 25-30 miles west of Houston if that's far enough outside of town for you guys. Let us know what you guys think seeing as most of us are not from H-town.

Welcome to the boards Nick (and fiance)! Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

I'm all for the Fulshear. Just give me a gate and time and I'll be there.

I know all the good roads around here, since I was the Ride Planner for the local SCRC chapter for several years.

I'm sure you have ridden 3090???

Nope. I've been sticking to the west side for the most part.

bob706 · April 29th, 2009, 08:07 PM

Fulshear sounds great. Are we settled on a time/date yet?

Right around there is Brookshire, just outside of Katy. There are a few fun roads back there too.

Cool, so it sounds like Fulshear might be the way to go then. We can just stick to the "original" date then and say May 23rd. As I had said in a much earlier post, I probably can't go that date, but I'd be more than willing to coordinate from afar for you guys.

That sounds great:

Place: Fulshear
Date: May 23rd
Time: 10 A.M.

I should be able to handle that.

I can ride out there this weekend and find a meeting spot if needed.

Apex · April 30th, 2009, 06:09 PM

I think this portion of the parking lot is still there. Let me know if this is ok.

It is that area right by the gas station. Should be decent since it is right by a shell on a corner if you want name brand gas.

Click for Google Street View

EDIT: The road on 1489 and 1458 are just great to ride on. 1489 is my favorite though!

Snake · April 30th, 2009, 06:17 PM

That sound great!! We now have a specific meeting spot. I will probably need gas by then so that will work perfect!

Bypass the low left section of the ride map.

A really fun, and one of the few twisty roads out there is 1489. You absolutely CANNOT miss that road.

If I want a quick ride, I always head down a little ways to 1489. You can drag a knee through some of those corners...just remember to take it easy some!

What do people want to do? If batting cages and putt putt golf are desired, I know of a place. I know of eateries in Katy, TX (I live there). Fulshear is a bit out my range.

Snake · May 1st, 2009, 09:00 AM

I very much look foward to meeting you all. I we'll have a great time.

That space next to the gas station is an actual road. There is still enough space where we could fit in 20+ motorcycles with no issues at all, but we'd have to be in that space behind the pumps.

I can find another spot if anyone desires. I was down there today scoping it out. If you all want to meet up closer to I-10, I know of a place that has plenty of room (359 and I-10).

I have fulshear locked in my gps but if you find a better spot let us know.

Original Location:
Smaller venue, somewhat easy to find since it is by the only stoplight in Fulshear.

Click for Google Street View

This is just up from it in Brookshire.
Click here for map
The Flying J is a huge place, and it too has a Shell station in the corner. It is also just off of I-10. It doesn't matter to me, I know where both places are.

Another option is the park I scoped out earlier...
Here is where it is. No gas right by it, but the gas isn't far since it is just up the road from the original location.
Click here for map

I'm down with whatever you all decide! Just throwing some options out there. I know where all this stuff is, some others may not. So the ones that don't are the ones that need to decide what is easier.

xTKx · May 1st, 2009, 11:10 AM

I'm glad we're all finally deciding on a specific time and place!!!

Now, if only I can convince my wife to come and clear the weekend ....

I highly doubt it this time around but I really hope to make it out sometime soon!

Edit: Though I'm probably not going, I think the park is a really good spot Mark. It's kind of out of the way a little bit, doesn't look like too much traffic, and if it's not too far away from the gas station/ammenities I think it'd be a perfect spot.

Snake · May 1st, 2009, 11:18 AM

^^^^^ Tony you have done a bunch to help put this togrther. If you can't make it for this on there is no reason why we can't have onother meet up at onother date.

Apex · May 1st, 2009, 11:46 AM

How would this do for a ride? These roads have nice scenery, and some have some really nice turns. Starts in Fulshear, then goes out from there.

Here is the map

This is by far my favorite ride to take. Google estimates 1:45 ride time.

What about the rest of the day?????

I'm sure things could be thought of. It all depends on what people fancy. I know I can't do a full day attendance. I have a great deal of projects going on right now around the house. I can attend the ride and maybe lunch. After that I'd have to split and head back home.

addy126 · May 5th, 2009, 07:57 AM

Got your invite on your "welcome" posting Rick. I'd love to join on May 23 however its my 7 days on schedule at work... Thurs thru Wed. I live for the 7 days off part! Working 1/2 the year @ full pay.... "I love the medical field" !!

Snake · May 5th, 2009, 09:14 AM

No prob. Maybe you can make the next one which may be in Dallas or onother city depending on where everyone fron the South Central region decide. I just like to get people together and meet new fiends.

Also, Congats on being the 700th member!!! Yea!!
