June 28-29 big bike ride

Post by allkidd »

Update

Our plans are finalized!!! We are meeting Saturday morning, June 28, at 9:00AM in the Wal-mart parking lot in Ozark, MO, on the southeast corner of Hwy 65 and Hwy 14 East. Our plan is to ride East across Southern MO, possibly incorporating some of the trans Missouri Trail and create some of our own TMOT.

http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=649724

We will ride some in the Bunker Mo area. If anybody has tracks for this area that they would like to share it would be greatly appreciated!

At this point it appears that Randy, James, Andy and Chris will be riding. Bronco Steve and Kendall have served up a couple of lame excuses.....blown seal, showing RV to cash buyer, taking care of cat etc. etc. If anybody wants to join us just show up at 9:00 on the 28th.


James and I are planning a big bike ride in Missouri the weekend of June 28-29. The plan is to leave early Saturday morning.

Ozarkrider, Creekside and Bronco have indicated they are also going. Chris...would you rather meet at my house Saturday morning or somewhere along the route? Andy....will you be in Lees Summit or at the trailer/meth lab in Bennett? Steve....you still good to go?

Our thought is to ride the South part of the swinging bridge track and then ride forest roads in the Salem area. We will be riding our BMW 800GS bikes so nothing too difficult.

Anybody who wants to join us would be welcome. Either respond to this post or PM me if you have any interest.

Sorry I am out. I just rented a house in Colorado starting the following weekend (6-21) so most likely not riding the weekend before I go riding for a week.
Have fun.

Funny you should mention that. One year I was headed down there and saw three houses on fire. Stopped at the third to ask the sheriff wtf and he started yelling and told us to leave.

Yes, because people wouldn't do anything "difficult" on an F800GS!

What time Saturday are you guys planning on getting to the Salem area? I just looked at a map and could possibly ride up that way from NW AR and meet up with you all.

Alissa is out of town this weekend, so I was looking for something to do anyway. Are you guys camping or hotel-ing Saturday night?

I heard the guy that wrote that report doesn't even ride motorcycles. The photos are all staged in front of a green screen. :lol:

What the time are you leaving LS?

Probably heading down Saturday morning with the bike trailer and skip the Dallas County meth lab cookout jambore just this time :( .

I have a wide dual trailer if someone else needs a ride. I also got a ramp and truck bed (66") for a shorter bike, so I can take 2 others, whatever, pm or ?

Kendall, let's see what Randy updates but the last plan I've got is....

Meet in Ozark MO Saturday AM at 9am.

I'm riding down from Weston, likely Friday evening after work so I don't have to get up way early. If anyone wants to join me for the trip down let me know.

Blew a fork seal riding the Vee last night so I'm out. Going to ride the XRL on Dell's ride this Sunday instead. Have a great ride and be careful.

Hey Chris!

It's looking like I'm going to most likely miss this ride after all. I've got a potential buyer for our 5th wheel that I have for sale coming down from Iowa on Saturday to take a look at it.

Who would have thought that making 2 complete lifestyle changes in less than a year would cut into motorcycle riding so much?!?! :lol:
