This weekend is all about the ninth annual DFW Ride for Kids for many of us, Rick! And we are serving tacos! Why not post a rendezvous for all the metromess riders to meet - like at Bass Pro Shop parking lot, 8:30am Sunday and ride in as a group?
Anyone interested in volunteering and doing the ride too would need to attend one of our two training sessions, Thursday at 7:30pm or Saturday at 10am. Day of event volunteers need to be at the ride start/finish point at Grapevine Mills Mall at 7am Sunday morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed! Anyone with an interest in volunteering, please e-mail me, Jeff(takethisout)Latimer@mac.com for more info.
It will be a long shot if Kevin shows up, but Ronnie, the guy next to Kevin behind my 550F at the Houston R4K, is making the trip up from Houston the maiden voyage on his fresh restoration of his Tracy 750! He is doing his first miles on the street today, I believe. Bone, box stock with 32K miles on the clock, she dyno'd at 55.46 hp and 79.47 foot pounds torque. Ended up with 130 jets, says Ronnie.
Please forgive the lousy camera phone shot from Ronnie, but this will give you an idea of what you will see this weekend at the ride.
