WANTED: CENTRAL TEXAS ADVers

I think I would have a better chance of carrying a vespa across the finish line

Yeah but 50% of the Vespa's finished the race while only 37% of all other vehicles combined finished. Not as glorious as a Toyota or KTM sponsor but impressive none the less.

On another note: I PM'ed Schickmester/Jason about things in NJ. He is fine but alot of friends and family were not so lucky. Told him I was donating to the Red Cross to help out. Any that can donate, please do. Said hello to everyone and said he misses TX. We miss him too and wish him well.

Thanks, Foto. I have been keeping up on fb and his parents had a really close call with destruction.

My kid's "beer and Halloween candy" emergency provisions held up in New Haven . They never lost power or water. Thankfully.

Have you seen the Vespas from the recent Dakars? I want one of those.... too cool!!!! I think with those even I could take a turn

Maybe we should get Dody one of those, too......bit lower to the ground.........

He did NOT hang out with me....

Oh, hell yeah. Who's in this Saturday? http://hfvtt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Sponsorship.pdf

Thanks for posting that. I feel a bit better about myself.

Just found this thread and wanted to see if any Central Texas rides were going on.
I am in Brownwood, Tx which is almost the exact center of Texas so that will give me a good start on any rides in the area.
Just wanted to check in an say Hello.

Hey, man. It's me again. (I'm everywhere.) Sorry you missed Roll the Bones last weekend. We didn't kill anybody!! That's always a good thing. Something will be coming up soon enough. Ghost is laid up with a funky shoulder but his campouts will start in earnest after the New Year. Somebody is riding somewhere every weekend. I am heading East tomorrow, though.

Do you know the best dirt roads around your area? I'd like to go run some tasty dirt and see if I can use it for my Red to the Rio project. One leg is coming through Bosque County and I'm thinking Brownwood for the other.

DeeR InTerWebZ, Pleez come ups wit sometin beTTER din da two cans and a fuckin' strang conneckshun I can git her in Hooterville. Jeebus. We can pretend to put a man on da moon but we can't get the webz to Cayote, Texas. :huh

Nice to know they fall, too And don't worry, I went down Saturday, too....and I don't even have to go on the road to do that:huh

I've been told next time Dody tells me to just "follow him"........NOT lol

Hope your ribs feel better, Sunday was bad for me....by Tuesday I was fine.

Huh. Ever since the Rally Raid my iPhone sounds and feels crunchy. Like little gritty caliche grains have worked their way down deep. Wonder what it is?

ummmm......did we maybe sit on it......?????

Possibly. But I'ma thinking caliche dust.

Could that be why my bike looks whitish except for that new rear tire.

Favorite pic from today. Write your own caption.

Not a caption, but beats a "No trespassing sign" from the local hardware store.. Someone put some thought and time into that...
The cones are a nice touch.. this guy cares for your safety!

Mike, it sure was foggy going across your dam this morning. No lake or river visible to either side not a thing but road and white.

Dang, right. It was fog and mist when I was running FM1860 into Riesel. Got dry around Groesbeck and by Personville 10 miles later and about 10:00, the bluest blue sky. Freaky.
