TXninjaGirl · July 27th, 2010, 01:38 PM

Anyone out here in the DFW area wanna meet up sometime? I've been riding about a month now and still haven't met any riders...lol.. and i kinda want to start up a group (or join a group, though i haven't heard anything about one) that meets up around once a month....anyways I'm located in North Richland Hills if anyone wants to meet up sometime.

Mo1981 · July 27th, 2010, 02:18 PM

sharky nrk · July 27th, 2010, 04:45 PM

I am down from IN on vacation, my brother MKlein3004 and I are going on a ride this Sun (I brought my bike with me). We would like to get a group together.

Mo1981 · July 27th, 2010, 08:09 PM

I would go, but I'll be down in San Antonio this weekend for a family event.

FrugalNinja250 · July 28th, 2010, 10:49 AM

I'm in. Either a ride, or just a meetup somewhere for lunch or dinner would be nice too.

TXninjaGirl · July 28th, 2010, 01:05 PM

awesome!!... i know people probably already have plans for this weekend, so maybe we can all meet up next saturday afternoon sometime?

Werehusky · July 28th, 2010, 02:35 PM

I'm down! I'm in Arlington and I'll try to make the rides when possible.

FrugalNinja250 · July 28th, 2010, 02:42 PM

I've got something around 4 that Saturday but a lunchtime meet would be good. I'm free most of this weekend.

MKlein3004 · July 30th, 2010, 04:17 PM

so is there gonna be a meet sunday? that is probably the only day sharky nrk and I will be able to ride, let us know!!!

TXninjaGirl · July 30th, 2010, 05:14 PM

I can do this sunday morning (aug 1st)...i have to be at work that afternoon... I wouldn't mind that either since its still pretty cool in the mornings. Anyone else down?.. where do yall want to meet?

addy126 · July 30th, 2010, 11:20 PM

I'd be in for Aug 7/8th weekend.. working this weekend

Werehusky · July 30th, 2010, 11:28 PM

I'm down for tomarrow morning, just name the place and time.

sharky nrk · July 31st, 2010, 09:53 AM

I am open for suggestions, but there is a Honda dealership, Maxim Honda off of 75 near the route I was looking at. We can meet in the parking lot in the morning, say 8 or 9 am if that works for everyone. If not speak up, we are flexible in time and place.

that looks awesome!!! totally want to do something like that!!!... but i just realized I'm at almost 700 miles and I havent taken her in for a service yet

I set up an appointment for wednesday. I would love to meet up tomorrow but i worry about putting that many more miles on her before her first service. So I wont be meeting yall tomorrow, but if yall end up doing something next saturday, let me know.. I'll be down and ready to open her up!! lol

have fun tomorrow!

TXninjaGirl · July 31st, 2010, 03:44 PM

ok... so looks like i wont be able to make it sat either

. I just glanced at my schedule and ,of course, i work 12-830 which takes up my whole day!!

maybe the sat after that?? lol.. I'll make sure i dont work then. anyways let me know if anyone is down.

Werehusky · July 31st, 2010, 07:08 PM

I dont think we'll be doing anything tomarrow, we need a better way to coordinate these things...

TXninjaGirl · July 31st, 2010, 08:03 PM

I agree... maybe we should make plans WAY in advance!!! lol...or something like meet up every 2nd sat/sun of the month or something to that extent.

emdsd · August 2nd, 2010, 08:17 AM

I live south of Trenton and know the area well. I have developed this route: http://www.theyeagergroup.com/Downlo...h%20School.pdf

Let me know when you folks in the area want to ride.

Did anybody make it for a meetup and ride over the weekend?

Yes lets do that next time. That way if any issues come up before the date we have enough time to fix them.

Sooo.. who wants to be the group manager :P

Me and MKlein3004 went out and rode, but its easy enough to do that as we are staying under the same roof while I am on vacation.

Mo1981 · August 2nd, 2010, 11:12 AM

I'd be down for a ride this weekend. Probably would have to be on Saturday.

FrugalNinja250 · August 2nd, 2010, 11:46 AM

I'm free all Saturday morning. Lets work out a meeting spot and itinerary, ending at someplace nice to have lunch. It'll probably be a million degrees in the afternoon so early morning would probably be a good idea.

emdsd · August 3rd, 2010, 06:31 AM

Booked this weekend. Might be available on August 14th.

Werehusky · August 8th, 2010, 05:19 PM

You guys doing anything next weekend?

Mo1981 · August 9th, 2010, 09:55 AM

I'm open.

TXninjaGirl · August 9th, 2010, 11:25 PM

I'm open for this saturday morning and sunday morning (14th and 15th)....or are we talking about doing something the weekend after? I might be open then. just let me know.

FrugalNinja250 · August 10th, 2010, 06:33 AM

I'm also free this Saturday morning until around 1300, and most of the day Sunday though riding in the afternoon will be somewhat...toasty...

What kind of activity do you guys think would be good to do? Meet for breakfast, ride X miles to somewhere interesting, head home? Or meet, ride, lunch? Or just meet somewhere for a convo hangout?

As to miles, what seems interesting? 50, 100? Less? More? There's not much for twisties around here unlike those lucky bastards in CA and GA, though personally I'm really not into pushing my limits or the bike's just yet; I've only been riding for 16 months though I've got 15k miles under my belt.

On my solo rides, I once went down old 157 toward Venus (some twisties), had a cold malt at the Whataburger there on 67, then went down toward Maypearl, worked my way over to the north end of Waxahachie (more mild twisties), toured around the old part of town, then rode back through Maypearl and back up 157 to Mansfield. It was a nice early morning ride, very low adrenaline.

We ought to get some facetime, anyway, that might help move planning along considerably.

Werehusky · August 10th, 2010, 07:11 AM

Yeah I agree, once we get to know each other better group rides will be a lot easier. I'm also open for this saturday morning, traffic isn't to terrible around 9-10ish but then starts heating up around. We could always do the simple 360/365 -> I-20 -> 820 -> 183 or some variation.

I've never done a group ride before so it would be my first, dont know how much experience you guys have with the group rides.

emdsd · August 10th, 2010, 07:15 AM

Part of the issue is how spread out we are. We all consider ourselves in the DFW are and yet I live northeast of McKinney and some of us are south of Duncanville. We can likely agree there are no nice pleasant rides in the Metroplex per say. There are some twisties up this way but it may take a 100 mile ride for some to get here.

Also, someone scheduled a church workday this Saturday so I am booked again.

Mo1981 · August 10th, 2010, 03:24 PM

Sadly, a quick ride for most of us relegates us to just highway riding.

TXninjaGirl · August 12th, 2010, 10:31 AM

I'm still down for whatever on sat morning.... just name the time and place!

Where do you live? Just trying to figure out a plausible meeting place.

FrugalNinja250 · August 12th, 2010, 11:10 AM

I'm near the geographical center of the metromess, so anywhere's fine by me.

FrugalNinja250 · August 12th, 2010, 02:52 PM

There's a motorcycle shop in Lewisville that's closing their doors this weekend. It looks like everything is half off. I'm going to ride up there early Saturday morning if anyone wants to meet there. It's called Grifs Cycle Sports, and it's near the intersection of I-35E and Hebron. 2406 S Stemmons Fwy, #B, Lewisville, TX 75067 to be exact.

TXninjaGirl · August 12th, 2010, 09:22 PM

I'm in North Richland Hills....pretty close to Grapevine Hwy. I'll meet you up there saturday morning. what time?

FrugalNinja250 · August 13th, 2010, 05:58 AM

I'm thinking 9am, it takes me about 40 minutes to get there from my home.

PitBull · August 13th, 2010, 07:07 AM

Are you sure the sale at Grif's is this weekend? I live near there and was thinking that they closed last weekend. I got an email about it but must have deleted it. Wouldn't want you to ride that far if they were already closed.
