Funny thought- when I saw DFW and November 11 together, I thought of VFW. So I wondered for a moment what DFW was and thought it meant Drivers of Foreign Wars. Then I realized it meant Dallas/Fort Worth. Still waking up.

And doing a fine job of it but what does that have to do with the bike show.

I'm gonna try and go, but still don't know if I have to work or not, and it's out of town.

I was wanting to go, since I am looking to buy a new bike and can compare them side by side at the show.

bigE · 11-08-2007, 06:05 PM

Me and my buddy will probably be up there on Sunday

texrider · 11-08-2007, 06:22 PM

I plan to go, but it would be Friday evening or Saturday. Maybe both!

diamond_jim · 11-08-2007, 07:27 PM

Buy me one for Christmas. I'll PM you my address so you can ship it. Thanks, man.

Just thow all your tools in a Backpack, and if you need a place to crash I have a spare room.

sunny · 11-09-2007, 11:58 AM

give me a call when y'all decide a good time to meet up.

DaveAlvarado · 11-09-2007, 12:43 PM

I'll be there at some point, don't know if it'll be Saturday or Sunday. I've got a regular scheduled ride on Sundays with a group of friends, I guess it depends on whether they want to go to the bike show or not. I actually live and work in downtown Ft. Worth, so it's not like it's far for me to get over there.

Is 6am too soon? We can stop at IHOP on the Way.

I've got 10gb of Flash cards to fill up with photos.

sunny · 11-09-2007, 01:45 PM

you kidding? i don't want to get caught in the "rush to church" pandemonium...

KD57 · 11-09-2007, 01:46 PM

6 am?

It's still dark. But a good idea. Problem is I may not have a bike by Sunday. Friend of mine called a few minutes ago wanting to buy it, and since it's more or less for sale, and I am looking for a new one, I may just sell it to him. Can I still meet w/ ya'll if I take the cage?

PhotoJoe · 11-09-2007, 01:49 PM

Just make sure you're carrying a helmet when you go into IHOP!

i don't see why not.
i may be in the cage if my two daughters decide to accompany me as well as my son.

**drgibson** · 11-09-2007, 02:48 PM

no no no the pre church crowd starts at 8 am.

diamond_jim · 11-09-2007, 02:51 PM

The doc is right about the 6am traffic. You've got the pre-church group confused with the last call group who are actually on their way home. But they all look the same so I can see the misunderstanding.
