It is about 132 Miles and should take appox. 3 hours or so. I figured on getting a bite to eat after the ride.....

Here is a more detailed description of the route for those of you going.

Start at Maxim Motorsports (420 Central Expressway South, Allen TX 75013 Phone: 972-359-0202). Go approx 4.8 mi. north on 75 to Hwy 121/Hwy 5 (exit 38A) and continue to Eldorado Pkwy. Turn right (east) to FM 546 (right approx 10.1 mi.) through Lowry Crossing and continue until it dead ends into FM 1378. Turn left to FM 982 (left, north approx. 9.3 mi.) to 380 and turn left (west) to 1827 approx.12.8 mi., then turn right (north). Stay on 1827 through New Hope and Altogo, about 10.7 mi. This will dead end into FM 545 and shortly thereafter you will hit FM 2862, head left or north for about 2.5 mi. Turn left (east) on FM 455 to Hwy 121.

WOOT!!!  So your ribs must be doing good and the bike is all back together!  Hurray!

DUDE... you said the R word.  You need to be kicked in the junk for trying to jinx the ride.

The forecast has withstood your transgression so far... you may be off the hook.  Keep a lid on it. 

Coming from George Bush on 75, which exit should I take?  It looks like this is on the west side of 75?

WOOT!!!  So your ribs must be doing good and the bike is all back together!  Hurray!

My ribs are healed, but I still have a "disjointed union" on my collar bone.  That means that the calcium bridge has not completely connected with the other piece of broken bone.  It only hurts when I lift something heavy or when it rains.  Hopefully, it will not hurt this weekend. 
The bike is back together, but the boys at Honda did not tighten all of the bolts back to spec, and now my bike acts like a Harley when it gets warmed up and leaks a few drops of oil.  I need to tighten the left side engine cover bolts and the ones for my front pegs are still a little loose.

We should be there Saturday for the ride... looking forward to meeting up with you guys.....

Yeah, west (southbound) side.  Take McDermott exit 34 and take the U-turn lane under the overpass.
