anybody going to this. Thinking about going up on Thursday and going to the show on Friday

I went last year and was disappointed...I've been to it over the past few years...and last years had fewer exhibits, vendors, etc.

I think the motorcycle industry is taking a hit.  Besides jobs being scarce or the fear of not having a job has put off a lot of people to buy toys and that's smart but in general it seems the motorcycle industry is in a recession.  They use to have the motorcycle show in 3-4 major Cities in Texas but the last time I went to one in Houston has probably been 5 years ago.

Got part of the way to the show before a couple of pit bulls made their way onto HWY6 
Interesting fact! If you hit a dog going 75 it will cut the dog in half and if your on a goldwing there's a chance the bike will self park without crashing, seen it with my own eyes

Glad that you all didn't get hurt .

There is something to the phrase  Ride Safe .

I think Gary kinda got hurt.  Last I heard he was sharing the pain meds with Gumbo.  I think thats why Gumbo is seeing Goldwings ride by themselves.

I called Gary and he said that he was going about 70 mph. when he came off the bike , after hitting both dogs .

Wearing his riding jacket saved a lot of him , broke a bone in his right wrist , messed up a ligament or tendon in his left hand ,

road rash on his knees and a couple of other nicks .Helmet some heavy scratches .

Wow Gary...glad you are mostly ok.  Hope you heal quickly and completely.  Thanks Steve for posting the facts on here.

And the bike put it's own kickstand down and stopped to wait for Gary.  So, technically the bike didn't wreck, just Gary.
