Tex-Okla-NM-Co•Meet & Greet "On the Dark Side of the Moon"
« on: January 03, 2012, 01:55:48 PM »
This is repeat of a post I made on the vtxcafe forum.  Just trying to get it out there for everyone ...

Being up here on the High Plains I feel somewhat isolated from the bulk of the Texas Riders on the Board.  Most (Nearly All) events from Rides, Rallies and Meet and Greets take place in the lower part of the State.  I made one this year in October in Crockett.  Had a great ride down (500+ miles) and had fun at the event but that distance for lunch and conversation is a way to go.

So I was wondering if it was planned far enough in advance if there would be any interest in having a Meet and Greet and maybe a planned ride up here "On the Dark Side of the Moon".

I was looking at a target of June to early July before the intense heat sets in.

Looking at Palo Duro Canyon as a meeting place.

... http://www.google.com/search?q=palo+duro+canyon+state+park&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=_TUDT-SxCcGztwebkNGXDQ&ved=0CHcQsAQ&biw=1919&bih=1012

There are a couple of nice rides and sites in the area and the canyon is really something to see.  The famous Musical "Texas" would be going on at that time and is something to see.  ( I enjoy it and I hate musicals )  Have been 10 plus times.

Another destination to take in, about a 70 mile ride from the canyon is the Cross at Groom Texas.

... http://www.crossministries.net/

I was going to contact members of the forums I frequent, here, vtxcafe.com, hondashadow.net forum and the Honda Rebel forum.  I thought this would be an interesting spectrum of Honda Riders.

Would welcome riders from Oklahoma, New Mexico and Colorado since the ride in for them would be shorter than for you guys from down south in THE STATE.

There are motels available in Canyon Tx and Amarillo and some good places to obtain vittles.  Also camp sites are available in the canyon ranging from primitive to full hookup.  Shower facilities and restrooms are available at several of the campsites.

Hello out there ……...

Sounds like something cool, but I believe if you did it in June you would be competing with people that ride to the VTX Coloradical M&G IIRC.  I was actually thinking about taking a moto trip sometime in the summer and would probably consider it.  Will look more into the details and check in later.

This is very intriguing.  Would have to be the later part of June for us.   Put us down as a good maybe.

O.K. - Have gotten several responses.

Trying to narrow this down.

June has 5 weekends this year.

Looking at weekend 2: ___ Friday 8th ... Saturday 9th ... Sunday 10th

Distance guys would have Friday to come in or Thurs - Fri to come in.

Gonna get the date nailed down then go on to particulars on whether or not we do a ride on Saturday afternoon.

Let me know ... post up .... still flexible here for now.

It is a go as of now.  Going to start requesting how many will be coming on Friday for the Sat. meet.  Plan a Sat afternoon ride if anyone wants.  Plan a couple of places to eat.  Date of June (10) 9 as Meet and Greet Day...
