PP member drops by to tell me all the dirt on Roger :)

I have been very fortunate to meet lots of the poster's from this board in real life.

PP member "pwillikers" was enroute to Indy for the MotoGP races with his brother and a friend. They trailered their bikes from Austin and left their mothership here at my place while they spend 2 weeks on the road. They have some fantastic routes planned to get to indy.

The arrival.



The festive untying of the bikes ritual.



I get a free meal!!!!



It was pretty good, if you like Italian... which I do



Back to my place for some in depth discussion of the route they have planned.



More discussion




Off they go...




Once again I discover that there are some really nice folks posting on this board... Not just because he bought me dinner

Hope they have a great trip to indy and back... expecting some great images from their adventure.

Bill, as they road off to see the fast boys, did you wish you were going along?

Very neighborly Bill, Don't sell their truck and trailer while they're on the road. lol
Go to see you ate Italian in honor of the big Ducati win that will take place. I'm getting the green light from the boss on heading out to the Motorcyclist Cafe Big Ben Run. Life is good.

Those Arkansas hunters running over deer wit their ATV's again. lol

Glad to see that Paulie still wears his pink jacket.

Keeps him in touch with him feminine side, I'd guess.

Bill, I seem to think that AR is the epicenter of the PP board though you need some left coast riders out there to even the score. I know a couple of members willing to trek out yonder.

cute, where have those guys been anyway. I don't recall seeing them at the track lately, even though we now have one MUCH closer (30minutes for me, maybe 60 for Pauls)

C'mon guys, lets get out there.

Due Amiche is my kid's favorite place to eat, we've been there a couple of times with him. I don't imagine anyone left hungry.

Bill, Seeing is believing!

What about Potosi? thats not far down the road.

I"d think the left coasters would have been more prevelant in Colorado at TOR. if this kind of event was going to happen. I myself would like to see us all get together but Its tough to coordinate a east,west ride. I certainly agree that your close to the epicenter.

Bill-

I said you are The Center of the Universe and everything is attracted to you. Kind of like a black hole, not gravity.

So a black hole has lots of mass... and attracts stuff. I thought that was called gravity.






Oh and just for reference for those who were not at TOR. I had posted that I was going to be camped under the scoreboard of the football field so PP members that were attending for the first time, that wanted to meet and greet could locate others...

I was out riding, and PP members that were arriving came to that area asking where I was.... Non PP attendees thought I must be popular ... rbmann made a joke out of the event.

Back home from the IndyMotoGP and the Indy Flat Track Mile. After two weeks on the road, a full eight days riding, only a half day of spotty rain, wore out three tires (out of six possible), left our trailer mule safe and sound with a most hospitable peliPartsPal Bill in AR and rode a most glorious route with no mishaps. Props to Billy, but then you guys already know what a great fella he is.

Pics and report to follow.
