I have a mission to travel to the Burger of the Week spots on the TV show Texas Bucket List. One of the ones on my list is Dubl-R Burger in Waco. Anyone want to ride up for lunch and back through Richards and maybe a stop at Yankee's or Drifters on the way home?
***UPDATE****
I will be at Dobbin Saloon @ 7:30 AM on Saturday November 21 for breakfast, KSU by 8ish or earlier if everyone is ready.
The ride is going to be roughly 3 1/2 hours from Dobbin with stops so that would put us there around 12:00 for lunch.
I am planning on doing a ride back that goes through the National Forest on 149 but anyone is free to do what they like for the trip back...or up for that matter.
***WEATHER WARNING***
It's looking like a front is moving through early in the AM but is supposed to clear around the time we were going to head out. To avoid anyone having to ride out in the rain we will slide the time if need be. The easiest way to do that would be to just forget breakfast and KSU from Dobbin Saloon around 8:30.

maybe up for this. Lets see as the time gets closer.
-
I might be interested. I have one pending thing that I need to figure out for that weekend this Wednesday. If it doesn't happen and the weather is good (i.e. dry) then I should be down.
Also I have some heat demons shipped and want to put those in before the real cold weather gets here.
-
Cool. My brother (Danny) is a 70% chance and buddy David as well. BTW, if you haven't heard of Dubl-R, go to TheTexasBucketList.com and look them up. The Hawiian Burder was Burger of the week a few episodes ago. I am going to split one with someone....too much for one person!!
This will be my second Texas Bucket List trip. The first one was to Snook to Slovacek's Sausage and then to Dixie Chicken in Bryan in the same trip. If you watch the show then you know what this is about, if you don't watch I would suggest setting your DVR and checking out a few episodes. They recently just added a map to the website which is really cool if you are already planning a trip you can find hidden treasures on the way.
-
Know any good routes? I just try and pick roads that take me to places I never heard of. Here is a possible...
-
Looks like a good route.
-
Changed Burder to Burger!!! :redcard: :ohwow: :lunch: :thumbup:
-
Looks like a great spot for a statewide meet up ! What about you DFW and Centex?

Now I am confused do you know what he typing? I give up :redcard: 300 miles at adv. speed of 50 mph that's 6 hours with no stops What about breakfast :lunch: Lunch :lunch: fuel ??? stop to rest :bikerider: a smoke :cuss: and when we get there will they still be open for supper? Is there a hotel because I don't stay in motels with bed bugs. :stickpoke: :t
We could meetup @ Old Montgomery Steakhouse @ 8am, eat and head to Wheelock so the VTXers can fill up then off to Waco. Should be there around lunch time. Riding back will definitely stop @ Drifters and anywhere else we need.

Hey, get your own ride stalker!!

-
10-day forecast says high of 64 and sunny!! Great riding weather especially if your ride is air cooled.
-
air cooled doesn't make a difference for me.
-
This ride going to happen??
Or just talking about it. ::)

Unless it's raining I am going for sure. I will have a route by Saturday morning loaded in the GPS. Either something like I posted or maybe through Brenham. We could all meet at the Bucee's on 290.
-
Maybe a better way to start would be to meet at Dobbin Saloon for breakfast. I heard recently that Old Montgomery might have a issue with health code violations.
:pot: :lunch: :hurl: :looney:

Throw out a date ???
Saturday November 21, the weekend before Thanksgiving. I have to get 2 weeks worth of riding in since I will have family in town over the Thanksgiving holiday.
-
It's looking like mid 60's, partly cloudy with a 10-20% change of rain. I would prefer mid 70's but I'll take 68 and partly sunny.
-
I might be free this saturday!

Bring em!

Forecast has changed a bit, 50%+ chance of rain in the morning until about 10AM. After that it's good especially in the Waco area. Of course, it's Texas and it's Tuesday so it could go either way before Saturday.
Ride is still on. :thumbup:

This stinking job is keeping me too busy...sorry..just saw this. Wish I could make it!

The weather is starting to cooperate. In Dobbin only 20% chance of rain @ 8AM with chances in the entire area diminishing through the day, in Waco even less. Going to be mid 50's to low 60's and sunny. Don't forget your sunscreen! :thumbup:

If we leave by 8:30 we should make Waco by noon which I would like to do so we can ride back in the daylight.
We'll be going through Bryan about an hour after we leave Dobbin if you want to meet there. I don't know exactly where but we can figure that out if that helps.
There is a Kroger @ Booneville and Hwy 6 Frontage with a Kroger Gas station. We can top off there and head to Waco.

Not making it anymore. At least I can't do a ride that far & long. I have to prepare for a trip the following weekend.

Where are you seeing that? It's going to be cool but during the time we will be there the only thing in the 30's is the dew point.
-
I aint scart :no no:
-
Me neither. :eagle:
-
To quote Val Kilmer, Doc Holiday, I'm your Huckleberry! Might want to create a sign up post to know how many are actually riding.
-
I'll be at Dobbin Saloon for breakfast @7:30. KSU@8:30. Bring your rainsuit.
-
@ Dobbin Saloon, little rain but clearing out. Going to be a great day to ride!
-
Home safe maybe not so sound, but a good ride.
Feet got wet in the morning stayed wet all day.

Yep, was a challenge but didn't expect 400 miles of hurricane wind...lol. Still, had a good ride with good folks. Too bad Pfatth and his buddy didn't make Dobbin Saloon sooner. If I knew they were still coming would have waited. I was really surprised to see them in Waco.
-
I placed SwampAngel Hair so Ya'll would be protected too! :c
Thanks !
-
Didn't make the group ride up, but got there anyway,apparently the world IS round. Sorry for making yall wait but I will get some phone numbers at the next M&G and try to communicate better in the future. Thanks for organizing a ride, I had fun.
-
Just for those of you keeping score at home, the tally was 3 HD's & 2 VTX's. Kind of funny for a ride that originated on a VTX board. Just prove We CAN all get along.
-
We usually get along. I know I have ridden the Three Sisters with a guy on a crotch rocket. My president started off on a VTX but now rides a different motorcycle. I've also ridden with a guy on a Triumph and another on a BMW. If I get a new bike, it will probably be an Indian.
But I'm still a racist, I won't buy an HD. >:D Sorry, Rocket and Matap.

There will be more. I think we discussed before you guys got there but I am going to be planning a few of these each year. I doin't have any specific interval, just adding rides between rallys that I can do in a day. Waco was a stretch expecially in the weather but if it was warmer I would have had more than one beer at Drifters. Luckily I didn't see any deer on the ride home.
