Who wants to meet for lunch March 28?

[G-Rex]

I finally got the Busa back in proper riding condition after the mess I created from going to the Bonneville Salt Flats last year. :lol:

Anyway, for her first shakedown run of the year, I'm going to polish off one of those white states in my sig that everyone likes to make fun of me for.

I'm going to head to Memphis, Tennessee for lunch March 28. Since all good rides should include local flair and food, this one shall be no different.

I'll be going to Dyer's Burgers on Beale Street. ETA will be around noon.

It is a 966 mile round trip for me. I plan on riding out, having lunch, and getting home by dinner time to post pictures. :)

Anybody within a 500 mile radius of Memphis is game at a minimum. C'mon, it's a day ride! I'm posting this now to give everyone plenty of advance notice on the odd chance someone should choose to join me for lunch.

Whos' up for lunch at a Memphis icon?!

[G-Rex]

Ok, for the geographically challenged, I added a pretty circle on the map to let you know if you're within the target area generally. :lol:

Really, I was just bored. :pwhore2:

[MILK]

Can't make it but my son turns 7 on that day!! :)

[ericr]

I work Saturdays and the ride to Memphis sucks anyway ;) Interstates suck for that long and the back way out there from here sucks too.

Otherwise I would :D

[t-homo]

What roads are you taking out? I might have to meet up and ride down there with ya. Says 285 miles for me if I angle across, but 350 if i go down toward little rock first.

I'm going to jet down I-40. An easy 7 hour ride give or take each way. :D

Are you bringing the woman?

No, she will be out of town that weekend with some family matters. Whyfer? You're welcome to come too Triple. You're welcome to bring your girl though if you like. :lol: Surely she won't be afraid to be the only girl there?

[G-Rex]

I don't think it's safe to introduce my wife to anyone from CF or TWF.

Well leave her at home and come to Memphis for burgers!

[t-homo]

What you should do is head up I44 to Springfield, MO, then we'll head down there on non-interstates.

[CrazyKell]

I'm slightly outside of the target area. :whistle:

[rogue]

No job or I'd meet up with you and ride there. :D

Plus I need to put my new tires on. Need to figure out how I'm going to manage that too. :lol:

[cuttle]

I'll be in Germany!!!! :rockwoot:

[t-homo]

Are you in Tulsa or Oklahoma City? I forget.

[G-Rex]

Are you in Tulsa or Oklahoma City? I forget.

I'm in Oklahoma City.

[t-homo]

May as well head up to meet me then. It's only an extra hundred miles or so, then on the way back, we can switch up the route and I'll just turn off somewhere random.

[KSGregman]

I'd consider it....just hooked myself up with some new parts for the beast anyway.

[t-homo]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA "T-BagN"

[Lamnidae]

I'll give it serious consideration.


it's only a 4hr ride one way for me....


Busa's FTMFW.

Anyone from GA wanna roll together if I end up rolling?

[Lamnidae]

Ebbs should come up from Biloxi.

[rogue]

If I have some sort of income at that time and get my new tires on, I'll seriously consider it. A long ride to break in new tires sounds nice. :D

[Amorok]

I'll think about it.

[Adeptus_Minor]

Nothing like lots of highway riding to flatspot those new tires. :nee:

[Quick281]

If I still haven't started my drive to Alaska than I would be in. If I start my trip around that time I just may show with a truck and the bike in the back even though its cheating. But I would probably continue on to Alaska from there.

[rogue]

Nothing like lots of highway riding to flatspot those new tires. :nee:

I'd be taking the back way instead of slabbing it. :nee:

[Adeptus_Minor]

I'd be taking the back way instead of slabbing it. :nee:

This is the south... it's all 'back way' :lol:

[Lamnidae]

I'd be taking the back way instead of slabbing it. :nee:

Back way?

:diitb: heheh


Talked to the wifey about it. She isnt' crazy about me going to Memphis w/o her being stateside, so don't know, we'll see... still up in the air, plus then there's always the chance of inclement weather.

[rogue]

This is the south... it's all 'back way' :lol:


Huh...not my trip back from Austin...35 to 20....slab all the way...raining...and my ass hurt for days after that. :lol:

Back way?

:diitb: heheh

[Lamnidae]

hey you're the one who left that wide open. ;)


I'd be rolling 72 that way.... it's about a 4 hr ride.

[Cass]

Awww shucks, Dallas is outside the pretty little circle :whistle:

[Tsunami]

Isnt' Vegas closer? We have better food...

[Archren]

Isnt' Vegas closer? We have better food...

But he already has Nevada colored in on the map. :lol:

[Tsunami]

But he already has Nevada colored in on the map. :lol:

Tell him to come this way and buy me lunch! I'm poor! Or he can send you here and he can go to Tennessee.

[G-Rex]

I hear a lot of belly-achin' and excuses.

Don't tell me I'm going to be eating lunch by myself! :lol:

[t-homo]

As long as there is decent weather, I'll try to make it.

[Quick281]

Put me down on the list as a possible. We will see what the weather looks like.

[t-homo]

Isnt' Vegas closer? We have better food...

You could just make a 3 day trip out of it. Ride from vegas up to G-Rex's one day, memphis and back the next, then back to vegas on the third day.

[Archren]

Isnt' Vegas closer? We have better food...

Don't worry, they still have bacon in Memphis. :lol:

[Tsunami]

Don't worry, they still have bacon in Memphis. :lol:

We have the buffet line here, unlimited bacon strips!

[Archren]

Mmm, Bacon... nom nom...

I have a 200 cc bike, it'll take me a month.

[t-homo]

better get started. :D

[Mr Lefty]

Hummmm well looks like my training is moved back a week. So as long as I don't have weekend duty orientation... Ill do what I can to be there

Stop playing with our emotions.

[t-homo]

Fuck ebbs. I hope he doesn't come.

Shhh!!!!!

You keep tellin' shit you weren't supposed to be tellin'!

Asshole! See if I take any more road trips with you!!!

Good thing you didn't get that picture of me taking a piss on the side of the road! You'd have that plastered all over the interwebz! :lmao:

[t-homo]

quit your cry'n nancies

I was serious.

[thirdgenlxi]

Hmmm sounds good.... I'll do my best to be there!

[Mr Lefty]

I was serious.

[Quick281]

I was just kidding Ebbs, I don't love you. :screwy:

A little far for me but if you're out cruising around, there's a riders' club meeting for the online mag I'm associated with on Monday night, because His Editorship is coming in from Montreal. It's at a nice Irish pub.

[G-Rex]

Bump. Two weeks out.

Anybody else ready for lunch in Memphis? I'm still going!

[t-homo]

I'm thinkin pretty seriously about it. If I can find another local guy to ride with me, I'll do it.

[Lamnidae]

Still working on permission from the wifey....

[Mr Lefty]

still considering it... still don't know my day to day schedule till I arrive that day... but I'm try'n

[Lamnidae]

werd.


Let's see if I can get a straight answer from the wifey today. She's mainly just worried of the distance solo and what-not, not the fact I'm going to be meeting up w/ you slackers.



Maybe she's covering up the "meeting with you slackers" part by using the distance as an excuse?

[t-homo]

I don't think I'm going to tell my parents about this trip, lol. They always worry and want me to call them every time I stop for gas, and they expect that i need to fill up every 30 minutes it seems. So since I'll be in Springfield anyway, I may as well ride.

[James]

Huh...not my trip back from Austin...35 to 20....slab all the way...raining...and my ass hurt for days after that. :lol:


what happened in austin didn't stay in austin, eh?

:diitb:

[rogue]

[G-Rex]

T-minus six days and counting! :)

[Mr Lefty]

I won't be there. I've got some issues with my travel voucher to sort out... so no money and no time.

up until Thursday I was gonna be there... :idk:

[G-Rex]

That's a bummer ebbs but I totally understand.

Anybody else ?!

[t-homo]

I think I'm in, but not sure. If I have money, fuck yeah.

[Lamnidae]

I'm out.

F'king stuck at the house, i just aint got the time (I didn't even really get a chance to press the wifey to let me go)!


Sucks, but being a home owner is a full time job right now w/ spring and trying to get the yard started...

I'll post pic's of what I did this weekend, and you'll see why I'm busy.

[KSGregman]

I'm still thinking it over...it would make for a wicked long day from ICT

[Quick281]

Hell, even without my bike in working order I want to drive but it is my last weekend in town before Alaska and somehow I wound up with a visiting sister in town and then a birthday party to go to.

Sorry G-rex.

[t-homo]

Gregman, meet me in Springfield, MO and we'll ride down together. I promise minimal interstate.

[G-Rex]

It pisses me off to have to post this. :lol: And I'll get much ribbing from Carolina, but that's the way it is.

Looks like I might have to cancel for Saturday tentatively. I always said nothing short of snow or ice would stop me, but alas, I guess the man upstairs heard me. :lol:

Sunday *maybe*, but I sure hate doing 1000 miles and then having to go to work the next day.

Our 7 day forecast. *grumble*

[rogue]

Freakin' snow???? :wtf:

[Krabill]

Yeah, I had a local ride planned for Saturday, too. Canceled.

[KSGregman]

Mother Nature is a bitch....gorgeous all week...and THIS for the week-end. :/

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w9/KSGregman/wx_weekly_b.jpg

I'm going to skip a a long ride in the cold...when I KNOW that if I just wait a week it will be sunny and 70 again. :idk:

[Amorok]

Looks like I won't make it either. Gix, really wish you could make the rally, that's where I'm planning to meet everyone.

[t-homo]

I'm outski.
