Anyone have a New Years get together/ ride planned to bring in 2021?
I’d be there for the ride if I was doing Christmas with the in-laws. They are in the Idaho falls areaBIIIGggGgg, party at my house. All you can eat and drink. Midnight ride, You just have to ride in 8* weather and studded bike tires are highly recommended.
Great invite! Put the kettle on, I’ll be right there! Only 8000ish km’s from here...BIIIGggGgg, party at my house. All you can eat and drink. Midnight ride, You just have to ride in 8* weather and studded bike tires are highly recommended.
For what it's worth. . . . just saw a commercial for Oklahoma. The Governor was saying that they're open for business. Pretty ballsy. Of course the west side of OK is pretty flat, and ugly. The east side though is much different. Broken Bow OK has cabin rentals in the woods that are fantastic. Plenty of beautiful roads. I'm sure Johnwesley can confirm that.
I too hate masks. . . . but, I have no issue wearing one in public. Like Cycledude said, if that's your biggest concern. . . . you're doin' ok.
Helmets? To me. . . . it's inconceivable to even think about riding without one. I have plenty of good friends that don't; their choice. I've seen way too many crashes where the rider would have survived if a helmet had been worn. My oldest son would not be here with out one. No, they're not a guarantee, but they're a start. But, even without a crash, I don't want to contend with June Bugs, grasshoppers, rocks, and such.
I'm also a believer in seatbelts. When I started driving, they weren't mandatory. I wore them because I learned that I could go around corners much faster when I wasn't sliding across those big ass bench seats. It became habit, so when the laws were passed. . . . I didn't even notice. Once again, they're not a guarantee in crash, but the car can't protect you if you're not inside of it. I've seen crashes where the car has very little damage, but, the occupants were thrown out. One in particular, the driver was nowhere to be found. . . . until the car was put on the wrecker. He had been crushed under it.
But, if any of y'all are cruising through Texas. . . . I'm only 10 minutes south of I-20, and 15 minutes west of I-35W, so give me a hollar. Breakfast, lunch or dinner is on me.
Yes, and yes. I drive by them daily.Is that the cleburne area, I may just take you up on that. I end up around there a couple of times a year. I’ve used AMS for some of my machine work. They are in the area as well.
