Who's up for the big one? Any plans for meeting before and riding in to the start locations?
Are we all going to get together in Arlington at the end?
It was alot of fun last year in FTW!
-
I'll be heading out of Grapevine again this year, think I got there around 7:oo-730 last year and was lucky to be part of the first 50 bikes out of there.
-
Going to meet up with my two nephews and ride into Ft Worth, will look for everyone there. We usually try to get there early and get a good spot along Fourth St. near the square, good starting point and near the front.
-
I'll be there. Not sure which starting point I will be at yet.
-
I'll be starting out of the ice house in ft worth. free grub in the morning and after the ride O0

Looks like I just made up my mind where I'll be starting from now. ;D
-
HAVE TO WORK ALL DAY...UGH ! ! ! ! HAVE TO MAKE THAT PAPER.
-
I will be starting in Dallas, even though grapevine is closer it wont be much of a run to Arlington from there , and I dont want to go all the way out to FTW.
-
what time should I be at the icehouse? where does the ride start and what time?
-
I sure hope the weather is right for this run. Scott, DA, Boulder Blues, BranDoc I don't care if we stage out of Dallas or Grapevine. I may have a few others from the McKinney area joining us haven't heard as of yet. We can meet at my house and roll from there. Just let me know.
December 16th Sunday Big Texas Toy Run from three locations This is the big one! Thousands of bikes take off from Dallas, Grapevine ans Ft. Worth to simutaneously converge on the Arlington Convention Center to literally create a mountain of toys. All toy runs are fun----This one's a blast. Here's the website info. http://www.thebigtexastoyrun.com/

I live close to Dukes if anyone want to meet there. Really don't care about where to start grapevine or dallas
-
McKinney riders wanna meet us north dallas people at dukes? Then we could head down to the staging point in Dallas? Ive ridden from grapevine to arlington quite a few times and its a fairly short ride, I think the trip from the dallas location will give us a longer run on a bigger highway and be a real blast.
Doc,
Holler at me if you wanna meet up at Sonic before rolling down to Dukes...
-
I live in North Dallas and would meet at Dukes. What time?
-
always had fun at this event O0
-
Time? 8:30 or so, starbucks next door will be open, even if Dukes is open the coffee is worse than jail house coffee. I have caught some of the Dukes workers going next door on thier coffee breaks.

The plan of us McKinney folks meeting at Kirk's and heading to Duke's to meet Boulder and N.Dallas riders sounds like a plan to me.

Good to see some of you at the toy run today. It looked like a good turnout and we had a blast. It was very cold though and Ami's fingers got a bit frozen, so we didnt get that many pics, but I have posted what we got.

Man, I missed him. Didn't figure he would be on the Ft Worth Side, I got a couple of pics of him on stage at the Convention Center. The Unit is one of may favorite shows.

Hey Doug,
I looked for yall we were running a little late, one of the guys I rode with had a dead battery. We didn't get into Ft W till 11 or so. I thought I saw the SCers on the side of 30 on the way across.
I managed to see Ken, and Justin, but that was about it.
Come on warm weather...

90,000 wow thats great :o O0
-
90,000 riders this year O0
I did run into a few fellow X'rs there in Grapevine, but only one knew of the VTXOa, let alone this board :'(.........so I had to hook them up.
I was pleasently surprised that I got withing the first 50 bikes this year since I didn't even crawl out of the warm covers until 7:30. I was in the first group that had to park in the old run-off parking for the ballpark at Six Flags so I did get a chance to see alot of the same bikes in some of the pics pull up.
-
Wassup guys I had a great time on Sunday seeing all the bikes especially all the greatness of the VTX's ;). Did anyone hear of a count of how many bike was there. I did not get a pin this year :( dose anyone have extra they like to sale.
