Boring Luckenbach report...

I had a new part I had to put on the bike, and needed a ride to break it in. It took almost two years to get the paperwork processed, and I was darn sure not going to wait for months to install it.<br />

I met Tom, Carol, and her father at the OST. <br />

After french toast, I planned a route to Luckenbach, tacking advantage of back and dirt roads whenever possible.<br />

It began to cloud up, soon leaving only a small patch of blue sky.<br />

I could almost smell the mesquite fire and taste the Shiner Bock!
Thanks for posting this!

I LOVE this shot--very funny. Might make a good submission for "Tale Light" in the ON.

Good report, nice photos, interesting conglomeration of bikes. Congrats on your IB!

The result of improper gear??





And what's with the inside and outside temps being different? Not too "acu-rite" in my book! (they need to think up a different name, maybe "Mostly Accurate"? )

Other than that......
