Nice. What color blue is that? Maybe it's the pic, but, I don't recall having seen it before.

Nice bike, and I really like the "helper". Cutie for sure.

Since we have riders all over the state, maybe we need to find a "central" location to meet.
Start throwing out ideas on possible places to meet up/or ride to eat. Maybe have a north Tx meet-up, say
folks from Austin and North. Maybe a south meet-up, folks below Austin. Or maybe some other
way to divide the state? Maybe we need to divide the state into N, E, S, W zones so no one is
having to travel a long distance, making it more "doable" for more folks?

I'll start with a few within 100-150 mile range of the DFW area:
Big Slicks in West Minister (I think the name has been changed but I still call it Big Slicks)- hole in the wall biker bar, but good burgers etc.
Loco Coyote just west of Glen Rose - crummy looking shack out in the country, food is awesome, enormous portions, biker friendly
The Shed in Edom (east Tx)- nice place to eat, pretty much everything is tasty, biker friendly
Hard 8 BBQ in Stephenville or Coppell (Coppell location is not as good)- sometimes it's good, never great.
Mary's in Strawn, Tx (off I-20, south of Possum Kingdom)- huge chicken fried steak, big portions, great food, not so great decor, biker friendly
The Center Restaurant in Muenster, Tx. (German Food, good stuff)- family restaurant, good food, excellent strudel, biker friendly

No 51% or 30.06 in any of the above listed.

We need a little smiley on a bike emoticon.....(armed, of course...)

I've enjoyed that St Jo, Muenster ride before. I guess you did the loop N of St Jo? I like seeing all the wind turbines. Huge things.
Eat German food in Muenster etc. We start at the Justin 405 exit off I-35. Hit Justin and take back roads to Decatur, through the
grasslands and N. Nice day trip.

We're trying to make it south when the bluebonnets start popping out. Marble Falls, Bandera area etc. Everything is still kind of brown.
Make it a 2 or 3 day weekend ride.

Also, I'd try to attend a forum ride. Day ride, or just a Ride to Eat, Eat to Ride type of thing. Fish Camp in Royce City, Shed in Edom or
other? Somebody throw out a few ideas and lets see if it happens.

Taking a short road trip this weekend. Any of you guys that ride, if you happen to see my bike, be sure and say hello.
Paluxy River/Glen Rose/Walnut Springs/Hico etc area Fri, Sat and maybe Sun. Will be riding 2 up. Ride safe.

I guess it's a Sportybagger? Did I just coin new bike terminology? Looks like a 1200 Low. Nice color.

You won't melt will you?

I'll ride in the rain IF I get caught in it while riding, but I won't start a trip in the rain by choice.
And, according to my wife, I will melt, she calls me sugar all the time.

The fairing & trunk were installed by us, and are both aftermarket. I don't recall the brand name of either. She was the one who did the internet searching & buying for what she wanted. I was just the fabricator figuring out to make it work. The bags color-matched from Yamaha that were bought when she bought the bike new.

Thanks. Just wondering. From the pic I think the fairing looks good.

Is the Vstar batwing stock, or a Woody's (other) ?

Nice. I'm not up on all the Yamaha's/Stars, but the folks I've talked to that ride 'em all seem to be happy.
Ride safe.

FINALLY ! It's fixed. Kids are smart. Like the choppers. Like the Fat Boy paint, looks like denim silver.

Get that thing fixed!!! Then try posting a pic one more time. Good luck.

Buck000, wow; power to weight ratio and quickness with these bikes is impressive.
Try to keep the front wheel down and Ride safe.

Fireman Red, wow. Got to love the Heritage ST. Classic HD style.
Very nice. 2 helmets = 2 up. Great to have company. Have fun.
