Good to meet........David from OK on Saturday. Correct me if any of that is remembered wrong due to my advanced CRS(can't remember ....stuff).
He said he didn't post much on the board, but it was great seeing another X, since mine is not starting. Xcalibur told me about a guy in RR that knows these bikes inside and out. But surprise surprise I can't recall his handle. Thought the guy that opened a bike shop next door to me was going to help me, but he hasn't yet volunteed his trailer to me on a Sunday so I could get the bike here. Gary, if you see this, what's the guy's handle that might be able to tell me what to fix. We checked the battery, I did the ground fix when I did a skin and chrome swap to this bike. The dude next door, thinks battery based on my video. Damn nice Sunday weather coming too.
Well I digress, it would be excellent to see more X riders at my coffee shop for coffee or a huge Nathan's hot dog available here.

Darn it Doug, my CRS, I forgot to snap a picture of your X in front of the trailer. Now you need to come by again. When you get a chance to make it by, don't let me forget. I love that bike.
Btw, Rob from this board came by in the afternoon. 2 X riders in a day is a record. Rob said he doesn't post much on here but he said he would like to join us some Sunday if we ride. Thanks again for stopping by.

The only thing more rare than seeing a VTX in Austin, is seeing a VTX at Hot Rod Coffee Trailer. Love to see them.
I have added some new hot dogs to the menu all made with a Nathan's 1/4 lb 100% beef hot dog. Some are on the menu with one on the speciial board. Try a New York Hot Dog made with a strip of bacon, sauerkraut, & brown mustard, or Hot Rod Dill Dog, or a Mango Madness Dog made with a strip of bacon, mango ginger habanero sauce, and sweet jalapenos for a sweet fire dog.
Come check out the rest plus all the coffee, lattes, mochas and smoothies you could want.

Sorry I haven't been by lately. Should be in Austin soon. I'll slid by next visit.
-
Gonna be in Austin for another ROT here in a couple weeks. Might have to take a short detour when we do our 2222 ride.

That is an easy detour. I am only a couple of blocks north of 2222/Allendale/Koenig. Hop skip and a jump.

You guys have been missing for the most part the X rider owned little business, Hot Rod Coffee Trailer. Every other Saturday we host the bi-weekly "Hot Rod Coffee Cruise In" where we see some cool rides including yesterday's Z71 Corvette, a trick 1970 restored Charger, 5.0 Mustangs, Boss 302 Mustangs, Ford GT, and we are still growing it.
We get regular visits from some of the Two Wheeled Texans (TWT), and Capital City Rockers vs Mods. We enjoyed a few visits from a few X riders, thanks Gary and Andrew. But I'd still like to see more. I see VTX's out and about. I can only take mine out on Sundays as we are open 6 days a week. I hate to think that Austin X Riders are dead as far as any organized rides. I would love to ride on some future Sunday with any X Riders and love to see some of you come by our business.
Where are we? 6546 Burnet Rd., Austin in front of a car audio place.
When? Mon - Sat 7 am - 4 pm
What? We are a full espresso bar, coffee both hot and a delicious cold brewed coffee low on the acids normal in hot coffee and espresso great for sensitive stomachs, mochas and lattes, breakfast sandwiches all day, croissant sandwiches (newest Item), and bitchen Nathan's 1/4 lb jumbo hot dogs. Some traditionals, with several of our unique dogs like the giant Blue Cheese Slaw Dog, Mango Madness, Frito Dog, and the newest dog the Holy Smoker Dog!
Come check us out. A great place to meet up before and Saturday rides.

Gary it is not easy to meet those requests but we try our best.
A nice article about us in the local homeowners newsletter provides a little more 411 about how I got into what we are doing here. Our article is short and on page 20.

Nice article, but they spelled "coffee" wrong in your website at the end...nothing Google can't handle, though. Nice website, too. I'll have to stop by next time I'm in Austin. :thumbup:

The "Austin Hot Rod Hot Dog" is worth it! The BBQ sauce and relish was a delicious surprise! Well worth the trip! :drool:

It's been that way for years.

San Antonio has been that way too. :'( I think the Houston and Dallas areas are the last active ones :idontknow:

I was in Austin two weekends ago...not on the bike...but saw a couple of X's. I see them all the time up here in DFW. We will keep trying to stay organized. I have my X business cards on my bike at all times.

People's interests change. It's been almost 10 years since the Austin group started up, and a lot of the folks either don't ride anymore, or are riding other bikes. There are three Meetup groups in Austin for riders interested in getting together, and they have pretty good attendance for the weekly rides. Most of them are RTE events, so not of much interest to me, but they are pretty active, and the main group, Austin Motorcycle Rider's Group, has over 1,000 members.

I believe "2 Wheeled Texans" is another real active group.

It is, but I don't think they have the level of rides AMRG does, in the Austin or CenTex area. Here is the link for AMRG:

I spend most of my time riding with the Hill Country Motorcycle Riders and the Alamo City Motorcycle Riders (both groups are on Meetup also). Every time I run into an X, I do try to get them to join up on the site.
