The tags ran out on the VTX, its not like I can't ride. I have a few more bikes. We have beautiful days, between wind and snow days, I see other bikers out riding around. I just don't feel the need for a trip around the same old thing. I don't venture far from home during this time  of year. This is when I plan my rides. So many rides,and events, so little time, I had plans for the Turkey Roost but that falls during my little girls birthday, She wins, I will eat crappy pizza, and spend mega bucks on the games and rides. She is at the age when the tooth farrie comes around. I have a 23 year old son, so I know how fast those years go by. I love to ride, but I love my kids a lot more.
In the year ahead I plan to make as many rides as I can BBT , Denver, and Snyder, are on the list, If god smiles could be many more.

Tom,

We need to find that phone booth for a M&G...  I am sure rbljack, solitary-man, benham and his wife (sorry if I left anyone out) would all like to get together...  How about Rolling Thunder just south of Fluvanna?  There's good roads out there, and the old jail in Clairemont.  What do ya say?


Rolling Thunder (no real website, just a description here...)  It was a nice place, part of the poker run at White Buffalo...

Need to get away? Come to Rolling Thunder Bar & Grill. Beautiful country, nice ride from town, beer, wine, set-ups, and the best hamburgers around! Need a great place to spend the night? Bring a tent! We're in the middle of nowhere. Bikers Welcome!
Thurs.- Fri. 4pm- 12am, Sat.- 10am- 1am, Sun. 10am-? 325-573-HAWG

I know the old jail house, I know the roads are wonderful there, Its like I said before,I don't venture far from home this time of year, been caught once to often. I don't have a boss that will, take a crappy excuse, like if I ride in this weather I stand a good chance of ending up dead. They do not care.
You have taken every vacation day, as well as every personal leave day, during the year, You have so many, don't you want to take the next step up, what is wrong with you, We will pay you more money.
I want out not up.
I want to ride, while I still can, it may not last long.

It doesn't have to be anytime early in the year...

You set the date, and I'll throw some plans together...

No I haven't seen the bucket list, but I want to. I once did pills to feel strange, There isn't a pill that will make me act normal at this point.
In the panhandle, winter has just enough beautiful days to lure you into a ride just a little too far away. Seldom does snow fall here it blows, and drifts, a 2inch snow can put 4ft drifts across a 4 lane.
I have lived here most of my life, and seen snow drifts bury houses. I have been on a bike in it. Not a thing I want to do again.
This time of year the cold, and the wind, start to fray the nerves on those of us born here. We get edgy, those not borne to it go buggy,and the rest of us put with them until they move.  The cold lets up around early April, the wind can come any day at any time of year in various forms.
You south and east Texas people look at the treetops to see if the wind is blowing. We look to see if the new trailer park is rolling across the back 40.
Yall get big wind they call it a huricane, and send FEMA,  We get big wind,They stop trains. and we pick up trash from 200mi away.
Yes, by all means lets find a phone booth, or better yet a good place to eat. That old Jail may make a good photo, but if I am going to need to wait,and some one will, I want a beer while I wait.

...but that last line got me. I'm in. 

When do we ride?

Tom, you should spend the winter writing articles for Texas Highways magazine.
