Jeff, never did find that other honda dealership.  I think a I took a wrong turn somewhere.  Oh well, but thanks a lot for showing me to the first place. See you soon.

Sounds like someone should have invited the group to the pit!  I can definitely handle some Shinedown, remember we s teamed it at...wait, I screamed it at BBT, dang that will a good concert!!!!.

Ok Bobby, going to invite you to the pit to watch the opening song. Video turned out pretty well, too bad the sound sucks. May want to turn it down. But damn what an awesome show!

It can be a bit confusing in that area. If you followed my directions, you would have gotten on 35, then got right off again at the first exit. No worries, and the place you did go to has twice the stuff to look at anyway. Good chatting with you and Ruthie, and thanks for coming up!

man oh man that was a awesome ride... i got home around 6pm took a shower to fell asleep.... on a way home on 610 i kinda jacked knifed cause the car in front of me pressed on their brakes while going 70. thank god i was about 100 feet behind him

It was nice meeting you Isaac (spell that right?) and good seeing you Tom.    Clif and Keri also came out to meet us at the restarant which was cool.  We were waiting for all of you to come back after the dealership, but after the last dyno and couple of hours we assumed we wouldn't be riding back with th 3 of you.

I think I was pretty close to dehydration on that last leg home.  My hands started tingling, I got a headache and then it felt like the temps dropped about 15 degrees.

Dranks gobs of water and then went out with Jennifer and friends till midnight with no nap in between.  I was exhausted, but overall a good day.

Hey, this is going to sound like too much advice for all you V-Twin guys, but there is nothing better for riding in temps like those in a Texas summer than a Camelbak. Throw one in a saddlebag, and it's be there when you need it. Fill it with ice and Gatorade, sling it on your back, and it does dual duty of cooling your back and giving you hydration whenever you need it. I scooted back from Big Bend in one shot two years ago, heading to the casa at around 11am, and making it by 7pm, and that was made very enjoyable by having the Camelbak in place. Getting dehydrated is not only dangerous, but it will make you feel like crap for a couple of days afterwards. Just my 3 cents.

 I bet it was a long hot ride and have thought about on long rides wearing one of those camel backs have one thats never been used.Someone was telling me to fill it about 3/4's of the way and freeze it then when you needed it should be thawed out enough to use it and maybe add a little gator aid to it as well.
 Hated to miss it but playing grand pa comes first

 You posted about the same time I did lol

[jmdaniel]

Great minds, right? You could freeze one and use it like that, but I'd be hesitant to have solid ice on my back while it thawed. Icing down sprains is never supposed to be for more than 15-20 minutes at a time, and this isn't much different. Fill it with cubes, and the beverage of your choice, and you'll be good to go!

[larry_357]

  The cubes sound much better alot less hassle than dealing with the freezer and waiting for it to thaw if you need water but in this heat would not take long lol

[popeye32]

You could make ice cubes out of the beverage of your choice so it won't get watered down.
