    Default Ride???

    Hi, Everyone...

    Well, I'm able to make it. Unfortunately, Kathy has to work Friday, so it will be only me, if we congregate on Friday, the 5th.

    Kathy recommends the 9 Irish Brothers tavern, on Highway 38, as a potential place. Another possibility might be the Bob Evans Restaurant, at the I-65 Exit onto SR 26, west side of the Interstate. We're both amenable for other suggested places to meet.

    Looking forward to meeting y'all...

    P.S. I need to mention: I have a Learner's Permit, so it's only daylight hours for me...dang it...don't have my 30 days accumulated...

    Actually, the 5th and 6th is on Wednesday & Thursday, and 2 lunch stops are fine, but I'm only going to eat once! LOL.

    I'm free both days so anything works for me.

    Default Ride, Part Two

    I double-checked my weekly schedule...both days are free for me. So, whatever our Fearless Leader and the group decides is fine with me...

    Incidentally, don't forget the Freedom Ride on Saturday, August 8th. This annual ride will leave from Delphi, then go somewhere on backroads to an agreed meeting place, for food and fun. I only became aware of this event, two days ago. I'll go dig up the details and post them here. This event has been going on for some years...

    Okay, thanks for setting me straight on the dates, I really need a better calendar.
    Do we HAVE a fearless leader?

    Default Ride, Part Three

    Ahem! Well, okay...8LEGS is not our Fearless Leader. Neither am I...

    Anyway...this is what I can tell everyone. Kathy and I ate lunch at a really delightful place today:

    Nine Irish Brothers Pub.
    3520 State Road 38 East. Lafayette
    It's across from Raisor Ford, next to a Lafayette Savings Bank Branch, and a hop, skip and jump from Tippecanoe Mall. Easy access from I-65.

    It's a true Irish pub, run by the O'Bryan family. Authentic Irish decor, food and Irish drinks, of course. A waitress there told me...if we know how many are coming, they could reserve one of their banquet rooms in advance for our personal use. A VERY nice place, friendly staff and the food was WOW! So, for what it's worth...if anoyone else has suggestions, please let 8LEGS et all know. But, this would be my choice, for a fun place to assemble.

    Wednesday or Thursday...or should we let the weather forecast decide? It's up to all of usns, I guess...

    Wednesday is looking good weather wise. Doug, I could ride to Flora and meet you somewhere, then on too the pub you suggested. Any thoughts John or Dick? Anyone from the south interested in going? While we are there I think I'll stop into Action Motorsports and talk to JD and see about my recall getting done.

    Since I am off that day anyway, I'll still plan on going to Action Motorsports regardless if we meet up then or Thursday. I just want to ride!



    I'll be working tonight and back in again in the morning, quick turn-around. I'll check the boards tomorrow.

    Most of you have my Cell #.

    Wednesday is fine with me, 8LEGS. We might want to keep an eye out for impending thunderstorm activity. Best bet to meet me in Flora would be at the intersection of Highways 18 and 75. There's a Marathon station with a big lot, on the southwest side. That should be okay.

    Any particular time?

    I can also let Tim O'Bryan, the pub owner know we're coming, if we can get a handle on the number planning to convene there. (I have both his phone number and e-mail address...)

    Let me know, everyone...

    Default Ride Addendum...

    OOPS! I forgot to mention...my SE5 is still new, so I'm limited to a top speed of 50 mph. Our route to the pub will be mostly back roads.

    50? I went over 50 in my break in period. I think it's best to vary you speeds and not stay the same speed for an extended amount of time, but back roads are fine with me, get to see the countryside!

    Since we're going to be so close to Action Motorsports we could stop there after lunch. I know John wanted to visit all the dealers in Indiana and he could get another one scratched off his list.

    Any news on the central Indiana spyder riders?

    Tina, I need time and date and location. Looks like Wednesday, that's good, I'm going to try to get Gary and Dick, but I don't know if he's back yet.

    When is a good time to eat lunch at the place you found? I could be in Flora by 10:30AM. We need to get a time set.

    Lets have the others meet up with us at the pub at 11:30AM, if that is a good time.

    Default Ride to 9 Brothers...

    Meet in Flora at 10:30, be at the pub at 11:30 works for me. I'll send Tim O'Bryan a note, to let him know a small group is coming for lunch and palaver. Does that work for everyone?

    Default Ride, Part Four - I think...

    Hokay, Folks...

    I just sent Tim O'Bryan, the pub owner, an e-mail, letting him know we were coming. I also mentioned I didn't know the size of our group, but I speculated between five and ten. Will that be close enough?

    I also told him our arrival time would be between 11:30 and noon. A little slop time doesn't hurt! If Tim tells me of any problems with that, I'll pass it along ASAP.

    See all of you there!
