Anyone who is interested. It's about 8:34am, now. I was planning on saddling up and putting some miles in by about 9:30ish ~ 10:00ish. If anyone is interested, drop me an email or reply and I'll try to check before we head out. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
I think we are heading in the same direction. Mr. Walker will be the route master today, so wherever he decides to lead us. But I seem to recall something about Kerrville. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
Let me see, fullstate, I'd like to go....But. I am about 175 miles away...from ya.... dogGoneIt.....chuckle........sat-10-09-04@1030am <>haveAgoodDay-Bjay<>
Don't sweat it, I'll be out that way again, eventually. Besides, to be quite honest the riding sucked ass today. No rain in the forecast my ass. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
You know....I always like going west....but Nooooooo Mr. Walker had to go East to his favorite catfish place. And the worst of it? After getting rained on the whole freaking way.... it was closed. out of business. grrr.... --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
i picked up a bunch of roadkillsafari bonii today and am getting more tomorrow. Marlin, Hare, Angus, Elk, Salmon and more tasty animal named locations on the riding menu. it was like riding in air conditioning today, cool broken clouds, no precipitation, temps in the low 70s all along the coast. total comfort. www.roadkillsafari.com
Damn... it's hard to believe that Cajun Catfish closed their doors after almost fifty years I should have known things were going downhill when they dropped the "all you can eat" fish from their menu, about ten years ago.. I guess some of those visits to the place, when I put away up to fourteen fish at a single sitting finally caught up to them.. (chuckle).. Guess they just never fully recovered from those losses.. Sure was nasty weather.. though.. As bad as I hate to agree with my good friend Fullstate, in this matter, should've just stayed home.. Ah well.. the mexican is going to have something else to holler at me about.. gotta spend some time on the Green Vulcan to get it all cleaned up again.. hmm.. now that I think about it, wasn't too clean before we commenced this little adventure..LOL.. Have a good one Fullstate.. it was good to see you and I'm sure glad that ol' sore leg is getting so much better.. Your friend in Irving Bill Walker
I'd love to do that, but I have to be in Missouri on Wed. Maybe on Tues. or Friday? Gotta get the bike cleaned up, though.....and we'll have to see what the weather is going to do. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
Yeah, that's too bad. I like the family establishments much better than the chains that plague our country. It WAS nasty out. About the time you split off at 408 things got really hairy. We hit a thermal zone and the rain picked up. I fogged up so bad I had to get over a few lanes and slow WAY down. I contemplated pulling off the highway completely, but that didn't seem like a great idea either. My bike is a mess....needs some good old TLC. Thanks, Bill. I won't say I enjoyed the ride, but I enjoyed the experience and the company. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
A clean 'Priller is a happy 'Priller. Gives me a chance to closely inspect the bike for stuff that needs to be done to it. I may try to wash it this evening if time permits. I'd love to be a weatherman. Get paid well, and get to be wrong about 60 ~ 70% of the time and you don't even lose your job. I had an idea for a weather segment: I like to watch NBC5 with Finfrock. He just cracks me up for some reason. So my idea was Finfrock vs. the Arthritic Lady. You know, the sweet, 80-year-old lady with arthritis that predicts the weather from her porch? So you get the Arthritic Lady's guess as to weather or not it is going to rain and then you get Finfrock's prediction. See who got the most right at the end of the year. ;-) --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!

Fullstate~I am gonna confess again in this group of folks..........Again....I admit I don't know what kinda Bike you ride? You call it a Priller" O well, I don't mind if I seem ignorant...(not stupid) there's a huge diff. bj <>haveAgoodDay-Bjay<>
Well, she is not a figure head. Just an idea....but I bet you can find one that would be willing to do it. Kind of like the Pie Lady on Jay Leno. Yeah, I now have a wrist / hand, a knee, and an ankle to help me predict the weather. ;-) --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
I could have sworn I explained it. It's an Aprilia Falco. I just say 'Priller as Texas slang for "Aprilia." It's the other Italian Superbike manufacturer. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/fullstate/my_photos --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!

I betcha don't run in 2 to many fellers riding one of them Italian bikes, eh? Cause, me, I never hurd much less seen one over here in the 4 state area........maybe I'll see yorn one of these dayz....I looked at the site you posted....not bad. 10-12-04@524pm <>haveAgoodDay-Bjay<>
Actually, while I know there are others in the area - I have never seen another one on the road except in California. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
LOL - that Futura is a nice bike. I like 'em, too. But, if I was going to buy a sport touring bike I'd probably have to go with the 1300FJR. I hear it screams.....and can wheelie in 2nd gear fully loaded. :-D --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
For a big sport bike, I always liked the blackbird by Honda. I guess it was the CBR1100XX. That was one more cool assed bike! My second to that would be the 1100 Ninja that Kawasaki made. Other than those, I like the Falco like yours and that's about it for sportbikes. I've always been someone who likes everything big and bulky... Careful about the Freudian(sp?) comments...it could go toward the female gender part.
