Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Dave on 12/03/16 at 15:13:34 Wow.....that is only 99 pounds bigger than the one you caught in my pond. Do they still taste good when they get that big? That fish would feed us for a month! |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Ruttly on 12/04/16 at 12:43:57 If the fish survived being caught , snapped some pics and I would have put him right back in the water, only take what you can eat , don't waste natures gifts! |

I betcha that one would make him some pretty loud "croaking and mewling" sounds while MM was a busy filleting him .... jest grab him by the eye sockets so he can't roll on the cutting board and fin you. As far as staying alive, you can't kill them, not by driving a knife through their noggins, or cutting off half of their fillet --- a few hit the gut sack still flapping their side fins a tiny bit. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Oldfeller on 12/04/16 at 14:21:12 It is December, officially the Mid-Winter time of year zone --- time to start making up them fictitious trips that we think might be neat to go do next summer. After all, last year we really did most of them ...... Each of you has gotta pop forth ONE IDEA, it doesn't have to be fully cooked --- just potentially tasty. Them's what have farms need to do the invite thing if they wish to be invaded again next year. My contribution is: a 3-4 day weekend (late spring early summer time frame) trailer based trip to a campground, Kickstand or Blue Ridge (preference goes to Kickstand as they require no reservation, have no awkward rules and are a little cheaper on the pocket). ::) .... next offering please ..... |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by MMRanch on 12/04/16 at 20:33:00 While we are planning : any one of ya'll headed to a ride , who needs an overnight spot near southern middle TN. , can camp in my 10 x 22 - air conditioned rock house/garage (one couch and chair) , or tent in the yard . Then we can go on to the ride the next day. There is plenty of parking space , and the Dragon is only a 5-6 hour ride east of here on "River-Road" type 2 lane black-top . I might need the same if we go to the "Black-Hills" or a similar ride . So : Anybody going to Daytona in 2017 ? |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Oldfeller on 12/04/16 at 22:18:33 :) You mean this one? http://www.daytonabeach.com/events/motorcycle-rallies/bike-week/ Sounds like a Barcalounger trip to go down to visit Old_Rider and run around in Florida a bit before the rest of the country warms up worth a poot. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Oldfeller on 12/05/16 at 06:31:38 :) OK, MM has invited us to come see him. ;) I can verify he has good digs for us to stay in, complete with a game room no less. If the people count goes high enough, he has tent space to pitch one or two to handle the overflow. He has a fire pit similar to the Dragon/Blue Ridge set ups and he has a bongers size grill to cook on. He has a shooting range. Main question becomes "when" ??? When is the dry season up on your mountain? |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Oldfeller on 12/05/16 at 06:43:46 To keep up with the ideas I am reposting what I see as good trip ideas back up to the sticky up above. Once we get everyone's "one good trip idea" recorded then we can start date sorting and reality sorting according to who really wants to do what. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by springman on 12/05/16 at 09:47:51 My one god trip idea is Arkansas. Many good roads there. |

Now, since it is all new to us, pick a good spot to stay at and say a date that has generally good weather associated with it. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by MMRanch on 12/05/16 at 17:52:19 Hay Springman and anybody else ... I stayed at Iron Mountain campground last summer , its in South-West Arkansas (just a few miles from Oklahoma). The camp site was cheep and the showers hot enough , it't a nice place. The CMA is having an event there : Arkansas: March 30-April 2, 2017 Location: Iron Mountain, Hatfield, AR www.cmausa.org Indoor and outdoor camping available on Iron Mtn. Motel: Ozark Inn $44.95 plus tax (two beds add $5.00) ATVS / Quads: YES ORV / OHV sticker required: No Team Lead: Charles McCool, chili.mac@hotmail.com 479-495-0721 http://www.cmausa.org/cma_national/fast-lane.asp Everybody is welcome and there is "So-Much-Room" ... :o We could stay at the camp ground , do day rides all we want , and enjoy their nightly entertainment if we please. Being a member I could pre-register , then have all the guest I want ! 8-) , non members are always welcome , free of charge ! If ya want a beer at your campsite , just remember is a "Family environment" but its OK. ;) Also they serve meals but ya need to pre-buy tickets so they know how many to cook for (fair-enough) , its cafeteria style , like college or military type. If anybodys interested I'll verify the details and see if the wife will let me go ! ;D |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by verslagen1 on 12/05/16 at 19:48:55 :o That's a half day ride from Lancers. what's the weather like? :-? http://www.usa.com/hatfield-ar-weather.htm a little cool but not bad. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by MMRanch on 12/05/16 at 20:18:38 I was there the last of June (22-25) and it was Hot and Moist . Great ridding weather (If ya ever stopped the sweat would start ;D ). It was the National Rally East 2016. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Oldfeller on 12/05/16 at 21:07:37 I'm gonna beat the bushes some for people to pay some attention and list themselves for the trips that interest them most -- also gonna start pointing the ongoing discussions at the sticky thread and letting this one go down the list as it has done its job of getting us started. Can't be having it in two places, gets confusing it does. As always, bringing somebody along with you is fine -- just give them a heads up about the rest of us so we don't give them any surprises. Push your idea some -- seek out things to do and get people to sign up for it. Hell, PM them and ask them about it. We need different new trips to capture the new attendees budding "I wanna go". As winter creeps on, our "I wanna go" gets stronger and stronger. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by MMRanch on 12/05/16 at 21:14:11 OK , now Jed --- Don't even try to keep-up with that OldFeller , he just stole his wife bike and he's ridding it like he stole it ! ;D , ;D ;D ;D Jed , let it go now before your momma gets involved ! OK , I told ya so !! ;D , ;D ;D ;D Some folks just have to learn the hard way no matter what ! :) Yea ! The Dragon took a plug out of both of them before the week was done . ::) |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Oldfeller on 12/05/16 at 21:21:50 MM, what'cha doing up in the middle of the night again? Yep, Jeb had him a "pass them in the turns" cherry that needed popping and I think he may remember that trip for the rest of his life. I was easy meat for him to learn on -- ol' Santy Claus on a motorsickle -- I taught him by example (and indeed we passed a lot of slow moving stuff) and Jeb was always trying to get past me and a' pushing at me ---- but he didn't get himself hurt until he went off Dragon riding off all on his lonesome with nobody out in front to moderate him jest a tiny little bit .... Jeb is on the left and you can see from his face he was good training material. The guy on the left was a nice normal person staying at the campsite who rode with us once or twice until you and Jeb scared him with your crazy fast curves .... I was not there and ipso facto I was not guilty of anything .... What was yellow jacket's name again ??? And what road took a plug out of him? Jeb is gonna show back up riding a newish 600cc crotch rocket intent on schooling my butt really really good .... you know that don't you? And he could very likely do it. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by springman on 12/06/16 at 11:39:09 I definitely want to join you guys for at least one ride next year. I certainly intend to go to Arkansas at some point but Versy's Denver suggestion is also appealing. Actually all the suggestions are appealing, I just need to see what time frame will be the easiest for me for getting away from work and home for a week. And possibly I can get my brother-in-law Steve to join us with his HD fire breather. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by Oldfeller on 12/06/16 at 14:04:22 That's the beauty of our list system, we generate ideas, count takers, fiddle with the ideas, scrap some, modify some, add some until we get a stable set with dates and a plan behind each one. Then we turn it over to the folks going on each trip to start a separate trip thread (when they get past the "enough takers" point) where THE PEOPLE GOING ON THE TRIP control all details past that point to suit the group itself, not me nor the rest of the peanut gallery. For example, Lancer needs to invent some firm dates for folks plan to arrive and to plan to leave, then start a separate trip thread since he's already got enough takers on his trip to make it viable. You can do a trip with two people, we've done it lots of times. Start you up an Arkansas trip by slapping down a place to meet, some places to go and a meet up date and lets see what it does. Or take MM up on his suggestion: Arkansas: March 30-April 2, 2017 Location: Iron Mountain, Hatfield, AR www.cmausa.org For example the two Florida rides are going soft because Old-Rider hasn't chimed in yet, but they will firm up when he does. |

Title: Re: something to look forward to... Post by MMRanch on 12/06/16 at 20:03:38 What was yellow jacket's name again ??? And what road took a plug out of him? I think his name started with a "R" (Russ ?) and I'm sure he was from Baton-Ruge LA. He was in front of me on a Dragon run , but really pokey. Well I passed him - then slowed down to give him some "set-the-corner-up" pointers, he caught on for a while , but disappeared at "Hog-Pen-Bend (mile 7.5) ". I went back and helped him out of the ditch. It's a left-hand 1 mile from the Over-look. He came on up to the over-look but desired to stay at the overlook till we were all-the-way-out-of-sight ... ;) . ;D ;D ;D I'm sorry about that Russ ! :( |
