AZ Bike Week - HTT April Meet and Greet

[Joncin]

Chopperbob and T,

I just sent you a couple of emails.

I think the ride will be one we did several years ago up Hwy 87, the loop around Roosevelt lake and then back to Phx via Globe and Hwy 60. It's a couple hundred easy miles and should only take 5-6 hours depending on how long we stop for lunch at Butcher Hook. 

It will be cool to see T again and meet a few new folks.

(Now if I can just get the Hippo to surface)

(((((((((((((((((T))))))))))))) how the heck are you?

[Just_T]

Hey Shelley 
I'm doing well thank you. I was thinking about Tombstone on Saturday but the ride Joncin has planned looks a lot better so I'll try to catch you guys that morning. BTW, I'll be staying in Scotsdale so hopefully I'll be close to other OFOPOS's and the Bike week activities.

[4DWUDS]

Yea, Yea, Yea, I will be there also, gotta have somebody to drink up the excess.

[CraigArizona85248]

4DWUDS, you got your WL registered yet?

[4DWUDS]

Nope, Don't like how AZ puts that sticker on the frame so I am going to look into Broadway Title service or something similar and try to get a real title for it. No telling what happened to the original or any way of finding out. Prolly ride my Buell to Joncins, maybe I can keep up with some of the OFOPOS that way.

[CraigArizona85248]

Yeah... the dillweeds at the DMV are hard to deal with.  That's how I ended up with a blue tag on my frame but my title says "1949 Harley-Davidson FL"... go figure.  I've gone back and read the statutes regarding titleing and blue tags and they guy at the DMV was way off base when he stuck the blue tag on my bike.  I've thought about trying to get it straightend out through Broadway title but haven't decided if it's worth my time.  At least the got the year and make correct on the title.

Wow... last year was a bagger w/ sidecar, this year a Buell.  Is this a mid-life crisis? 

See you on April 4th!

[help-u2]

well yeah,.  lol...waiting for them to catch up...but it was a rare moment that i was being nice..

[Joncin]

I think I've replied to everyone that wanted address info. If I missed anyone, please let me know.


The plan is to meet at the Shell station on the corner of McDowell and Hwy 87 at 9:30 am on Saturday, April 4th. We'll leave at 10:00 when everyone shows up, and head north to Butcher Hook restaurant at Roosevelt lake for gas and lunch. Then continue on to Globe for another gas stop, and on to my place for burgers.

I'm supplying food and non-alchoholic beverages, if you want beer or liquor, it's BYOB.  (Not that I'm opposed to drinking, I just can't afford it)

[Colt]

Lookiing forward to that ride, Jon.  I've been through the Miami/Globe/Superior area numerous times en route to see Mom's family in Clifton and have often wondered what was beyond some of those hills.  With T and some of the others coming along this is going to be good. 

I'm all geeked.

Sorry to report I have a last minute cancelation. Out riding and got a trany seal leak. Got the bike in the shop but expense and time bumped me out of my Az ride. Colt left me a message and I was looking forward to riding with the old gasng again. Colt leave me a message again with your number and I'll make sure to do a local ride with you real soon.

Have fun everyone!

[Joncin]

Sorry you can't make it T. I was looking forward to seeing you again.

We'll catch you the next time.

[CraigArizona85248]

Joncin,

Thanks for putting together the ride and hosting the BBQ afterwards.  I had a great time yesterday.  It was good to see you, 4DWUDS, Hippo, Colt and his girlfriend.  And of course I got to meet some new faces... Ken, Dan, Carlos and Larry (did I get the last guys name right?).

-Craig

[Joncin]

Yeah Craig, it was great to see everyone again. The ride was a little cold and windy, and I forgot my camera, but overall it was a great day. I know Colt and Ken took some ride pics, so maybe they can be coaxed to post a few. 

Back at the ranch


Hippo was so happy he was dancing a jig right in his chair.

[TwistedSister]
