I wrote up a post on our club blog here:

I posted all of the pictures there. We should have a group photo posted later and I saw one member making a video, so hopefully I will have that soon. All of the picture are at our site above, but I will post the ride report here and a few pictures.

This was our first picnic/semi-rally and it was a success! We had 24 people attend on 18 bikes and one corvette. There was one Flying Brick (my K75S), one other K-bike (K1200LT), 2 Airhead R100RTs, a few Oilheads (R1100RT & R1150RTs), a few Hexheads (R1200RT, R1200R, & R1200GS), an F-bike (F800GS), & quite a few other makes (Aprilia, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, and a couple others).

We had many riders from around East Texas, at least one from Houston and several from the San Antonio MOA Club. It was a nice cookout with a lot of moto-talk and and a lot of fun visiting with friends and making some new ones. Love's Lookout was a great place to have a picnic - clean picnic areas, VERY clean restrooms, plenty of parking, and a GREAT view.

The first rider made it to the park a little after 9 a.m. and laid claim to the pavilion. Since it is a Texas State Park, you can't reserve the sites. Other riders starting filtering in by ones and twos around 10:30. ub Liaison, Paul Mulhern on his R1200GS, and his wife on her F800GS. By 1 p.m. all 24 people had arrived. It was good to be able to meet folks from other areas.

We ended up with eighteen door prizes, which were generously donated by the BMW MOA & the BMW RA (we are a charter club of both organizations). With 24 people and 18 door prizes, almost everybody won something. We also had a couple cakes, more brat and sauerkraut than we could eat, and a really good time.

We are thinking that we will mark the third Saturday in May as the annual date for the Texas National Picnic. So for now, the Second Annual Texas National Picnic will be at Love's Lookout on May 17th, 2014!


Speaking of test rides,

Depending on how I'm feeling (a bit sick, sinus shit going around), I'm thinking of going to this, just for the hell of it:

In the middle of this somewhere, I had posted to a motorcycle forum (this one) asking people's opinions of larger touring motorcycles with most of my constraints listed. I received lots of good advice, including one person recommending twice that I try the Moto Guzzi Norge, which I did. But I really don't like the Moto Guzzi transverse V-Twin engine. The piston heads sit one in front of each knee and place a lot of weight high and outside of the centerline of the motorcycle. On the Norge (which is heavy) this is not altogether apparent although I still noticed it, but on the lighter Moto Guzzi motorcycles, this weight shift is readily apparent
