Houston Area Breakfast Ride

[glynnk]

Hey, why doesn't somebody in the Houston area come up with a breakfast ride next Saturday or Sunday--August 22nd or 23rd? Who's gonna step up?

Glynnk

[ozzie]

let me know when and where, im back in town and ready to ride. (pearland) ozzie.:doorag:

[glynnk]

Ozzie--Pick a place. As best I can tell, we've got folks in Tomball, Cypress, Clear Lake, Katy, Pearland, and Alvin that make up my definition of the "Houston area". August 22nd or 23rd for a breakfast meet/eat someplace ought to draw a crowd.

Sundays are better for us. Hope I have spyder back by then. BRP is replacing DPS to hopefully fix occasional check engine light and scrolling "CHECK DPS". After that comes in they will try to figure out sputtering.

Let's shoot for Sunday, August 23rd for a breakfast meet/eat somewhere. Somebody suggest a place....

Glynn,

How about the bakery in Bellville? Nice ride and good food, but any suggestions or places are fine with us.

[Arch]

Sure am glade to see some other spyder riders posting here, and hope we can start to get a regular group together for some regular rides. I was one of the first few riders to start the TexasXriders group here in the Houston area, back when we rode a VTX, so hope to see the spyder group do the same. Still ride with the Xriders here and a great group of people. I'm sure the houston area spyder riders will prove to be the same.

Ed--Newman's is the name of the bakery, I think and I'm up for that. What about the rest of you folks? It might be a nice drive for the Clear Lake, Pearland, Alvin folks.

Just saw this thread. I keep forgetting checking the TX board! Would love to join you Sunday. Its a heck of a drive for breakfast coming from Clear Lake (86 miles, 1hr and 50 min without traffic according to yahoo maps). I will go with the majority but would not mind if it was a little closer:pray:

Sorry, looks like its going to take a miracle to get the spyder back from dealer by Sunday.:( May have to catch you guys next time.

3WD--Hey, I think we're open for suggestions. Where would be a place a little more convenient for you?

Come in the cage if the Spyder's not ready. Saw the post about Carlo; hopefully, that all works out and those of us having problems will benefit.

I did not mean to derail your plans. I know Bellville is a decent drive for you and Arch. I will try my best to make it, just got my Spyder from the recall and will test it Saturday to see if I trust it for that long trip, otherwise I will drive a cage.

I know you don't like going inside the loop but Crescent City Beniets: 3260 Westheimer Rd Houston, TX 77098 is a great New Orleans stile join with good pastries, coffee and hot chocolate. Also kind of half way for everybody. Maybe we should try it some other time. I would love to wake up all those snobs of River Oaks with Arch and Batmobile's Hindles.:yes:

Ozzie--We can probably figure a meet place and all ride into Bellville. Ed, you got any suggestions?

Glynnk

[Arch]

Well folks here we go. Took spydie in Tuesday to have the back tire replaced along with some other issues to be taken care of and now I'm without a bike. One of the problems was when I rolled the bike with the motor off I could here a squeal, turned out to be rear wheel bearings, ordered no delivery date. Ground harness recall fix, ordered no delivery date. Brake pad recall, ordered no delivery date. Gas smell, no clue. Decell and low rpm whine, no clue. The two day turn turned into I don't know, but at least the major problems have been identified and in the process of being taken care of. Oh and this doesn't even include the program update that I won't know how it effects me until I get my bike back. Y'all have fun Sunday sure hate missing this one looks to be a good turn out.

[glynnk]

We did, continued for a pretty good ride after you peeled off. Hard to keep up with the younger folks! It was fun all the attention we got in that breakfast place. I got the feeling we did the sales job for 2 or 3 Spyders.

A fellow came straight to our table and said: "Are you the guys on the Spyders? I ask you because you look the baddest as..s in the place". It had been a few years since last time I got called that!

Let's start working on the Galveston and La Grange rides!

Yeah, I agree LaGrange looks like the logical place to have a Houston, SA and Austin get togther some weekend for lunch. Hopefully, we'll get more response for those areas then we can work on a date.

Also, I'm up for the Galveston gig, but the link that Ozzie sent didn't have any registration info on it, so Ozzie can you check out how we need to go about registering for the rally?

Here’s the link I found -http://www.lonestarrally.com/

** The Response from lone star rally is No reg required. Free admission! Come have fun!

Let's try and see if we can't do something on Saturday, October 31st. Those of us in the northern part of Harris County could meet you and 3wheel and any others down that way and ride over to Galveston for the rally. What do ya think?
