Houston Ryders Going to Shiner

[glynnk]

We've got some options with regard to meet up points, so let me throw out some in an attempt to make it convenient for most of us--1) do we want to go I-10 to Flatonia then down 95 to Shiner or 2) do we want to take say U.S. Highway 90 all the way to Shiner? If we take I-10 we could meet at the Shell station in Brookshire like before or if we want to go Highway 90 we could meet up at a McDonald's at Grand Parkway and 90. We need to be in Shiner at 12:30 as I recall, so if we left either of those spots by 10:00 or 10:30 we should have no problem getting there by then, making one stop somwhere along the way.

What's the preference?

P.S. Yazz, Jeff and Ed and I would probably meet up in the Cypress area somewhere and then head to the group meet point.

either way works for me, Mark and suggestions?

I thought the meet up for you guys was already set. We intend to meet y'all at the restaurant in Shiner. What I'm I missing?

Right now, looks like 6 or 7, maybe 8 if Chris from Katy can make it. Saturdays are a problem for him due the nature of his work. We'll see though.

Hi Glynn,

Since we can meet up in Cypress, makes no difference to us which route to Shiner we take.

Gonna' try and make another test run before Saturday and see if everything works with DPS fuses pulled. Brookshire would be good for me. Steve

The SA ryders route will be going out 87 to FM 1116 to Gonzales and then 90 into Shiner. We'll meet the Houston group there at the restaurant at 12:30.

When we leave we can ride up 95 to Flatonia and then take I-10 back to SA if anyone wants to do a large group ride. We rode together for awhile on the last meetup and I think we split up in Flatonia if I remember correctly.

Let's see what the groups want to do after we meet for lunch.

Okay, Houston folks, let's plan on meeting at the Shell station in Brookshire at 10:00, Saturday, Feb. 6th. The station is located on the north side of I-10 at the FM 359/Waller Ave. exit. Departure from there to Shiner at 10:15.

Cypress folks, meet at the Randall's gas station at 290 and Barker Cypress at 9:15.

Well it seems that the steering problems have returned (Tried to put me in the ditch) so tomorrow is a no-go for me! Looks like the next few days are going to be spent looking for a trailer to haul this thing to a Dealer in Houston since the local Dealers mechanics are incompetent( Not even sure if they are still Can-Am Dealers ). Maybe next time. Steve

Steve--Sorry to hear that. Ed (Arch) posted something earlier with the same problem. Wild West Honda seems to have competent folks, although I've only been dealing with them for a few months. You might check them out.
