Ride Report: July 13, 2008 with pics

[krid80]

So I know this is a week late now, but last Sunday, July 13, we had a few bikes get together and had a great ride! FZ6Nick came over with his dad and we had several bikes from SBN there too. All in all we had 13 bikes show up but only 11 went on the ride due to a miscommunication and one rider having a work commitment. I covered about 250 miles through Southeastern Missouri and I know most of the other guys did more than that.

Anyhow enough words, here's some pics.

Here we are at the first meeting point: Surdyke Yamaha in Festus.

We had four FZ6's there as well as an older BMW, a 1989 Honda VTR 250, a Ninja 650, a Triumph 1050 Tiger, a Honda Shadow and a Victory Kingpin.

I didn't take any pics at the Potosi BP (the first time through anyhow) where we met up with several guys from the Cape Girardeau area. Here, we parted with one FZ6 but added two more as well as a 1990 FZR600.

These pics are after tearing through the Mark Twain forest on P, C, and DD highways then taking 32 into Bixby. We had a little dinner at the Country Store before hitting the road again.

Here's our group at the Country store as well as a couple other bikes with the STLAR group.
