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.

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.

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. |

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. |

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.

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

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.

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.
