Default What did YOU do yesterday?

A few weeks back, another HDForum member posted about coming to San Antoino area from Florida and was looking for suggestions and good places to stay and ride and eat...

So after sending Jerry a pm with my number, he called and we talked about the area (our riding "backyard") and it got me thinking...so instead of just telling him why not SHOW them!

So I contacted a few other "Texas" members and yesterday Jory and I pulled out of San Angelo at 6am, met Tom (from Austin) at the gas station next to the hotel and topped off before going over to the Sunday House Best Western to meet Jerry, his riding partner John and their wives, and after a few minutes of greetings and talking about the trip so far from Florida to Texas and a short overview of the ride we had planned, we mounted up and took off for a nice 250 mile loop from Kerrville to Medina to Leakey around the sisters back to Leakey and back to Kerrville via 83 to 39!

Awesome day, mid 70's to low 80's and sunshine! Rode 150 miles with a friend to meet new friends, rode with the new friends, then 150 miles home, and was parked in the garage 13 hours and 550 miles after pulling out yesterday morning!

Thank Jory and Tom for helping me show the Florida wild bunch the Twisted Sisters, and Jerry and John for allowing us to be part of your "Texas Experience"!

The good people on RMH (rec.motorcycles.harley) have been doin' that for 15/20 years. It's provided us friends from Maine to California, Seattle to Miami & most of the states in between. We've met people from England, Sweden, Germany, & Australia.

Sounds like you've found out how rewarding it can be. Congratulations!

The "road trip" section really is a pretty cool area! If more of us would post rides, even just short ones, I'm thinking we would see a lot of new friendships formed!
