Super day today. Today was one time I'm glad the weather man lies.
We left to get break fast and rode in the dry all day long 😀.

Stopped for lunch at "hillbilly's". It almost started to rain , so we ran from the clouds and in 3 mins. Was in the sunshine again 😉.

We did go 10 miles down a road that "T" ed into two directions with "no outlets" today
So Springman says "there's a curvey road going to a cave in this area , but I can't remember the name of it . so we ask Garmin it was called "cave with no name" 😂. We had icecream there Wink

Running from the rain with no place else to go can make an interesting day Cool

Places seem really far apart in Texas Roll Eyes

I guess the only thing to do in town is get on the freeway cause everybody was there.

Versy, glad to know you are home. MM left from my house this morning and just before he left we had a light drizzle so he was all suited up again. The ride to my house yesterday though was totally dry.

Dave, I can't believe you noticed. Good eye for detail. I sorta like the leather pieces on there. However, on the ride home the bent screw worked its way out and now I only have one leather piece. I did discuss options for replacing the tail light with Versy so hopefully I will find one I like and get it taken care of soon.

We had a great time. We wish more of you all could have shared in the fun. I will try to get some pictures and video posted tonight if I am not at work too late.

the ride was a hoot! only got rained on a little
This may have been my last group ride though, my problem wrist was giving me hell every time we went up a twisty road, from all the on / off throttle adjustments, and my hand was numb / tingling most of most of the days
Throttle locks don'y help much on winding roads
I may try a cramp buster and see if that helps, as you can on/ off the throttle without gripping with those things
when I arrived at my friend's house in columbus where I'd left my truck, I was never so glad to get off a bike Shocked

And the knock offs are pretty reasonable. Also, if that scooter has 7/8 bars, the Iso grips will make it like 1" bars.

Hay Art

After the Sisters Ride this year , I thought I had Carpel tunnel setting in ! Grin

Guess , I must have been "Death-Griping" the throttle . Roll Eyes

The "Cramp Buster" I've got on my S-40 made the 17 hrs ride from Springmans a do-a-ble-thing . 830 miles in one day --- I started to just miss my Interstate exit till I had another 170 miles or so . Wink

As it turned out I got home about 1 am and was glad to be here ! Grin

freeway riding is no problem for me, I have a throttle lock (vista cruise) and it works well, just lock the throttle and i can even take my hand off the throttle completely
it was the twisty bits where I couldn't use it that wrecked me
the cramp buster can, with a bit of common sense, even be used in the twisty bits
honestly I'm starting to think I have carpal tunnel
not sure if that would radiate pain up to the elbow, though

I want to say how much I enjoyed seeing ya'll again. I know the weather wasn't stellar.. or very solar.. and I really am sorry about not being able to ride with you more and show you around more. I ain't going to to into all the reasons, cause it will just make me mad.
Let's just say.. I WILL be a better "host" next year!!
If you want to see some pictures, and you are on face book, you can go here for a look.
https://www.facebook.com/neal.achterhof My pictures are posted "public", so you don't have to be my "friend" to see them.. even though.. well.. I do count you (both the guys that made the trip, and everyone on this forum) as friends.. or at least as someone who I would allow to buy me a beer! Cheesy

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.
