No one is hungry yet?

Andy's is sounding pretty good.

Who is up for dinner and where?

Well James it looks like it will be just us again, pick a day that works for you and contact Lee to see if he is interested. Hard to believe no one wants to meet fellow members.

Absolutely Tony, Would be a pleasure to meet up again. James has a new to him ride and I am looking forward to seeing it. Warmer weather is comming and I am looking forward to it. Maybe hit speedy's again. $7 for a plate you can't finish. Gotta love it. Would be cool to have a free Saturday and head over towards your way. That would be cool to have it local to you and we make the ride.

I ride in the dark and cold almost everyday during the winter. Was 28f when I left the house the other morning for work. I'm ready.

My only restriction currently is my new hog only has a top end of 60mph. But hey, we can get there at 60 just like we can at a buck 15. Just takes a little longer.

So let me know if next wednesday at speedys works. Or We can try for next month. I may have an additional steed which will get us there at a buck 35 next month.

Yall make the call. You know I'm game.

Otherwise, I'll get up with willie and find a day and time that suits us locally. And we will make plans accordingly for next month.

Ok - I'm a little late to the game here and not sure what the conversation is all about

If we are talking about this coming Monday, then I don't think I can make that one. I can likely do something in March and meeting in Greensboro or somewhere like that would work for me. Is this a "bring your truck event" or are we riding our bikes? My bike hasn't seen the road for about 2 months because I have been flat lazy, so it will need a once over to make sure too much stuff doesn't rattle off on the way. I have a good friend that loves to ride and is a chevy owner - if I can get him to come I am not going to tell him he is walking into Little Big Horn!!!!

Find a date in March and I'll get it on my calendar. Anyone have a problem with March 14th or 15th? And do we bring our wives?

Just to clarify for anyone interested in showing up for a dinner;

The only requirement is to show up. Doesn't matter how you get there. Doesn't matter what brand of vehicle you own. Truck, car, scooter, motorbike, helicopter, burro, on foot are all acceptable forms of transportation.

Wife and kids are fine. Just give a heads up they are tagging along so we can act appropriately. Generally the dinners have been normal sit down dinners and I'd like to see it continue that way. Casual and easy going is how I'd describe the general tone.

We welcome all folks and are open minded.


Sounds like march 14th or 15th are next months dates to consider. Im good for the 14th. Lexington/high point seems to be a decent enough halfway point for most of us. Im game for speedys again but wouldn't mind trying some place new either.

Willie, ill get up with lee and see about us getting together next week somewhere. Ill send you a text.

Wow, What a burger. Another dinner with great friends. It was nice enough to get out on the motorcycle and ride too. I got to see James' little mule motorcycle. That thing just looks fun, I could get into trouble on that jewel. I had a great time and it was good to meet up with you guys again. Looking forward to March. Hopefully it will be a warm day and the BBQ Crew will be on the hunt again.

I'll second that. Good burgers indeed. Not sure how you guys ate the papa burgers but not a morsel left. I could only handle the mama burger.

That new fairing looks very nice. I'm sure it will be a welcome addition during the winter. And nice that you can pop it off for summer.

I hope the raw power of the t-dub didn't overwhelm you on the ride home.

Looking forward to next month in Lexington. March 14th.

Tony and Dan, are Y'all still planning to attend? Keep us posted.

Me too. My wife might come so we would bring the truck - no way she would ride the bike in anything under 75 degree weather! But it seems appropriate for a dinner of truck enthusiasts to include at least one truck!! Lol

Y'all are going to have to carry on without me next week. I thought the 14th was open on the calendar but turns out we are booked solid the whole week. Both kids have performances next week. One on Wednesday and one on Thursday along with the normal hectic schedule. Sorry. Family first.

I have one kid singing at memorial auditorium Wednesday evening in front of a packed audience. And one kid putting on a dance exhibition at school Thursday evening that she helped choreograph.

My fault for not checking the dates sooner.

I can try the following week if that doesn't put y'all out or isn't inconvenient . Or ill make it to next months dinner. Be the first one I missed in over a year.
