back from twister. we had a great time and ride down and back and the ridding was great down there in and around alpine. one day in the big bend national park, about 300miles, all low speeds 30 through 45 park rangers everywhere so we honored the limits. we did a ride up to observatory and beyond thursday and marfa, presidio, terlingua and stude bute on friday. the best meet up ever for texas twister. a good ride and good time was had by doc,lisa, lisa, jimmers, robert, dayton, tim, liz, al, gayle, harvey, nagalot(a lovely lady), fb, brian and tommy! brians bike was developing a nasty noise in starter before leaving. we thought it might be the relay hammering the solonoid in and out found one at a dealer in okc but no go. starter change was three hours so no one had time to fix it. we rode on to ponca city and had lunch at enriques, yum. then only had a hundred miles back to the cabin and the starter was belly up when we got ready to leave there. we think it was the clutch sprag in bendix stripped out. a friend of mine tony came over with his new trailer and rescued us. brian and his bike rode home in and on tony's truck and the next day, yesterday we took bike back to brians dealer in kc. brian treated me to the best lunch i've had in distant memory! brisket burnt ends and a bowl of the best baked beans in the history of baked beans, they were awesome and the burnt ends as well, thanks brian!! so today i'll clean up the truck a bit and start cleaning up bike too. the weather was five star for the whole trip, no usual rain mess to clean up. have a great day y'all. hasta.
