A few of us will be headed out from Houston on Friday Oct 23 morning to enjoy the Harvest Classic in Luckenbach, with a planned Hill country ride on Saturday (likely to include a loop down thru Sisterdale, the Bat Cave Tunnel, a ride to Comfort and over to Vanderpool (Lone Star Moto Museum), lunch at Lost Maples State Park and then a loop back around), so we'll get part of the 3 Twisted Sisters during the day.

http://www.harvestclassic.org/

Saturday night's movie will be the story about Moto GP (narrated by Brad Pitt...subject of a previous post on here).

Hope to see some of you there...we should have 3-4 riding out (myself (Norge), maybe Tom (Stelvio), Rob (Griso), Fraser (Triumph)).

Anyone else from Houston want to join the caravan...more than welcome!

I'd sure like to be there, sounds like fun. Brad Pitt and I went to different schools together in Springfield, Mo.

Thanks Fisherman...are you guys headed out Friday as well - taking the slab or the scenic route to Kerrville or Bandera?

We may see you on the road in Spring or Woodlands or on our side of town one day.

Cheers,

We will take the scenic route. I'm not sure if the details but I know we're stopping at Black's in Lockhart for lunch. Then on to Kerrville. Most are staying in hotels, but I'm camping at Schreiner Park. Are yall camping in Luckenbach?

Nice! A righteous plan there...Black's is a mandatory stop no doubt! Fun ride from there onto Comfort and Kerrville.

This time we are staying in a hotel in Fredericksburg - camping at Harvest is akin to an all night Frat party with the 3 am burnouts, so we're going to hotel it this time. Not so peaceful as the Guzzi rallies of the last couple weekends (Lindale and Talihina) where you can get some great rest under the stars. Schreiner park is a great place to camp...just passed thru there in August...lots of paddle boarders out on the water!

I'm booked in the Armadillo campground a half mile from the show. Taking the Toy Hauler and hope to take both Guzzis to show (if I can get a new rear tire for the EV).

I plan to spend a few days in San Antonio and maybe Port A / Rockport if I feel ambitious. Expect a week, perhaps two, south of the Red River.

I think there is another thread, perhaps we can get it merged?

Easy ride from Austin. l go every year.

rtbickel · « **Reply #11 on:** October 13, 2015, 09:06:11 PM »

I'm going to try to make the ride from Dallas on Friday but that depends on the work schedules of the usual suspects that I ride with.

PJPR01 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 14, 2015, 10:02:40 AM »

Hey...a nice collection of Guzzisti should be well represented at Harvest! Maybe we should pool our funds to win one of the raffles and then do a Timeshare of the Bike we win, every person gets it for 1 month of the year! :)

LowRyter · « **Reply #13 on:** October 14, 2015, 11:07:20 AM »

we definitely should meet up and exchange phone numbers.

perhaps we can reconnoiter at my travel trailer for refreshments?

By all means...and I think our friend Dave the Barber and a few other Louisiana boys will also be camping at Armadillo's! Could be a good Rendezvous at LowRyters! :)

Burn ban in Gillespie and all surrounding counties. No campfires at Harvest Classic this year. Darn no smores.

I'll see y'all there then as I'll be riding out on the Griso on Saturday. Always a good time out there and it supports a really great cause.

PJPR01, How are you going to ride Saturday and still make the show?

Paul can be in two places at once , something to do with his facility with accents

I am going to try to make this. Not sure of specifics yet, but it's on my list.

lucydad · « **Reply #20 on:** October 14, 2015, 10:30:13 PM »

Wait a minute...I am back in town and retired...need to get some sleep and think about this...

Good point...begrudgingl y I have to admit that the Saturday longer ride proposal may have to be only a 1/2 day run so we can enjoy most of the day at the show. I believe I'll have to modify plans accordingly! Maybe an earlier Friday morning departure to enjoy a run around Hill Country and then spend the day Saturday at the show/evening film etc/Armadillo Willy's refreshments afterwards! Too many things to do...I also wanted to hike up Enchanted Rock again since I did that the last time out there.

If only I could get Thursday or Monday off as well, but unfortunately not this weekend.

LowRyter · « **Reply #23 on:** October 15, 2015, 09:41:33 AM »

I'd actually like to show my bikes on Saturday. If I can get them cleaned up and loaded by next week. And I still need tires and brakes on the EV which I have to take so Bev can ride with me.

But I plan to stay another week or so and visit San Antonio and perhaps the beach.

PJPR01 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 15, 2015, 09:51:54 AM »

Well then...we'll definitely have to come by and vote for them and show Guzzi support! I'm guessing my Norge is too modern to show! :)

Call me Jar-Jar Binks on this one...recovering and catching up from gone 3 weeks of the last four. All camp stuff still in storage and crap repair company that did upstairs won't answer phone calls. You guys have fun. Likely I will go for ride this weekend. Need new rear tire on V7R--will get that ball rolling. Luckenbach is a fine town, enjoy. Eventually I will start participating.

Jim Rich · « **Reply #26 on:** October 15, 2015, 12:23:26 PM »

I'll be wandering around at Harvest. See you there.

Harvest classic is 9 days away...more than enough time to get a new tire from MPH, pull out camping gear etc. It's not this Friday, but the following Friday/Saturday...weather permitting, should be a delightful ride to hill country.

Don't even know how to get all of our upstairs belongings back....unbelievabl e. We are trying to get thru to the company. Bunch of jerks.
May get new tire on this weekend if I can get Ms. LD to do a pickup and drop off.

Long ride for this tired puppy.
