Ride out

[eSGEe]

Was invited to the MSTA "RIDE OUT" at this groovy Dude Ranch for "Glamping" and Rodeos ---
Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo in River Ranch Florida | Westgate Resorts

great lunch--- caught up with an old friend "Carl" who I have know as long or perhaps longer than I have known Gasket -- we all are Triumphtalk.com members---I officially joined that group of miscreants in 2009 but lurked for a time before that----
perfect day --- GREAT 1:15 min run from the house--- came home to a FLY BY on my street of 2 fighter jets---- Sun N FUn fly in is also this weekend-- the Blue Angels will be performing in about an hour ---
Its also our oldest daughters B-day -- so CAKE will be had later as well!!

great day



Glamping is "glamour camping" all the tents and teepees have showers running water and A/C just like a room at your nicer motels --- but shped like a teepee or a tent lol

its ROUGHin' it--- posh fat American style----

BBQ pulled pork sammich for lunch wasnt bad either ----

Thanks for posting.
As Hack suggested a change of pace and daily purpose is great therapy, you and I both are overdue for therapy
Re our bike forum history, I have a strong feeling we go back earlier than 2009, not that it matters very much.

I thought so to--- Didnt Dave do a "change over" in 09 of the forum software--- Carl and I both thought it was like 12 or 13 years----

Couple more shots--- cant figure out who the OLD S.O.B> in my Triumph shirt is!!!

I suspect the 2009 changeover is the answer.
If I recall correctly you and I were already exchanging private email when in Nov 08 the US had an election and in early 09 I moved house.
I like your "Rocket" jacket

 

[eSGEe]

Thanks -- bought the jacket when I had the SPeed 3 --- yes you are correct --- I think I actually JOINED Triumphtalk after purchase of the Tiger --- which was mid 07

 

[eSGEe]

NO -- it was 05 when I bought the Speed Triple --- because I had been researching them on TT
