I am knocking out the details today and tomorrow... and will post the final details on Friday. We will drive on the 22nd. Details are subject to discussion, but speak your mind soon, because there isn't much time to waste!

I need to know how far of a drive (round trip) you guys are interested in...


Local: 0-50
Metro: 50-100
Local Rural: 100-175
Destination: 175-250

Please use the poll buttons at the top of the thread!

Thanks

Let me know, I will be up for whatever.

I am down, that will be the day before I go to Tampa for LDAP training. My request is that we do not drive in such a way that "spirited" becomes unsafe for my daughter riding with me :)

So far we have had few problems with the drives.. ... there are some sections of the drives that allow for bursts of speed and for drivers to use some of that sport suspension that never gets used in weekday gridlock.... however....I always try to scout the road the week before and map out a pretty good path... I type several up and pring them out so it allows everyone to drive the road at their pace and to ensure noone gets left behind there are catch-up points throught the drive as well.. :) ...

Keith - May 21 is a Friday. What time is the drive going to start and from where?

yeah i PM'd the moderator to fix that... but i am still waiting *hint/hint*

we havent gotten that far.. really depends on the outcome of the voting.. probably 1 of two times..

Leave at 9-10 AM or 1-2 PM
End at 2-3 PM or 6-7 PM

unfortunately my 6 got rear-ended, so i doubt i'll have it back in time to drive. if I do I'll drive, if not may i catch a ride with someone who doesn't mid the extra 185lb? :)

I may have a open spot in the vertible if Lori decides to stay home.

I aplogize for the delay, can you ever forgive me? http://www.sincitysportbikes.com/ima...n_rolleyes.gif BTW, you need to put a subject on those, so that they don't get dumped as spam.

I might be able to go if you leave the later of the two times... I work in the morning. Keep me posted....you cant leave without the photographer. T

Actually severl people have PM'd me opting for a later start time.. : ) so no worries.. PM me

So what's the scoop Doc?

Well the results are in and looks like we have a GO for the drive this weekend..

This will surely be a run to bring your camera for as we will be taking a grand tour of the Houston Metro area.

I have evaluated all of the responses and have worked out a pretty decent route although still need a few recommendations for cool landmarks within 15 miles of the Beltway around Houston.

I have done a pretty decent job to avoid stop lights and utilize freeways to get us from point A to point B and so forth.

I am working to secure a great dinner spot to land Saturday evening about 7-8-ish. (Any recommendations)

The meeting spot will be just off Memorial and Allen Parkway... however I need to get the final ok for use of the parking lot.

This will not be a high speed run, like some of our backroad runs. There will be some nice opportunities to get into the throttle and let your rotary run free. (Just don't get too far ahead!)

I will have maps and route information on site with me Saturday.

I almost forgot we meet at 3:15PM, rollout is 3:45PM....

Please RSVP me if you are coming so we can figure out how many maps we need and to finalize logistics.

Update: I have not heard from anyone concerning this event recently.... if I have not gotten enough RSVP's by tomorrow evening we will be forced to post-pone the drive.

Thanks.

Well..... I mapped the rest of the route today (wasted gas) but I can't rationalize the drive for 3 or less cars... So I am going to post-pone the drive indefinetly.

I will save this route and maybe we can try again next month.

:( Sorry guys and gals

Thanks to those who responded :)

DAMN:mad: I would have been there, but I found out about this to late :( I have been looking for somthing like this in the Houston area well I guss I'll just have to weight :p

Let me know when you try it again at g.best@best-transportation.com I will be there.

Lets have a discussion about this at the next meet.
