I'm not going to continue to argue this one. If someone wants to ride, post something. If enough people want to join you, go. If they don't, go by yourself, or don't go.

I almost posted the same sentiment...excellent advice.    :bikerider: Now on to another subject.  :c

I'm confused  ??? ... :stickpoke: you do not feel obligated to go since a few people ARE GOING to make the ride  :bikerider:  up to Brenham for the  :c  M&G  :lunch:  on the 23rd of January.
However, if not :cuss: one person from the area goes,  :violin: then you feel obligated  :angel:  to go!    :hmm:




So, is it "Old Timers" at a young age or Agent Orange!   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Kenny, the smileys are for you!    :flag:   :bikerider:   :flag:   :bikerider:   :flag:

Its real simple.  The other group gets 10-15 people to turnout for a typical ride.  Currently, only 4 people (including myself) have committed to go on January 23.  Therefore if one person drops out then there is a risk the ride may be cancelled for lack of participation. (just like Jeff’s ride to the Gristmill back in June) I don’t want to be the guy who cancels and kills the ride.

If on the other hand, the other group gets their usual turnout of 10 or so riders, then 1 person dropping out will not affect the ride.

I am relatively new to the other group, don’t know anybody real well, so whether I show up or not will not affect the ride other than meeting the initial quorum requirement.  I have known Kenny for almost 4 years now and given a choice I would rather ride with Kenny.

I have made a comitment to the other ride and will not cancel if I feel it with jepardize the ride.  I had already made the comitment to the other group before Kenny posted his ride.  I obviously can not commite to both thus I am in wait and see mode right now

OK, now I am on the same page and understand...I would do the same, you already made the committment!  Sorry, for the misunderstanding...yep it is hard to get the Centex area together.  I wanted to go with Jeff on his "Here's your F$%#@ centex ride" but the timing was wrong, so here we are back to square-one.  I plan on making the Brenham run but that is still a week away, so who knows.  Hope we get to ride together soon.   :bikerider:     :c       :thumbup:

Bobby, I think what he is trying to say is that if a few people show up for his previously planned ride then he feels obligated to go to show support...if lots of people are going to his previously planned ride then he can skip out and not be missed and therefore come to our M&G.  I maybe wrong but that is how I read it.
Thanks Lucky, that’s exactly what I am trying to say.

There are issues other than weather that may affect my ability to fulfil this commitment, but if those issues are at bay and the weather is halfway decent, if Cen-Tex needs another rider to keep this thing going, I will ride to Austin on Friday, spend the night and meet wherever y'all want to make the ride work.  Sure would like to hook up with Bobby and Kenny and all you other reprobates! :laugh:

Lets have a big turnout for the first "real" run of the year!  Are you born to be wild or mild??? :boxing:

Git-R-did! :lunch:
