motomarket open house

[dankatz]

I'm coming out.

I'm coming out of east Arlington . Was thinking of heading out about 11. Let me know

Hmm...I guess a little out of my way. I have to decide if I am taking the back roads or the highway from Newton.

whats the matter, an hour + on the highway in sub 30 temps with no heated gear isn't your thing?


I'm still going to bundle up and head out shortly, though I have a back road route laid out to get there to keep the speeds and wind chill down.

[Talus]

35, feels like 27. Hope it warms up in the next hour!

[breakdirt916]

sub 40 for me + no heated gear + skinny kid = also out

[Turbocharged]

I ain't afraid of no cold. I'll be heading out soon. As always, I'm running late. lol

no heated gear here. My thumbs were frozen but dankatz and I got out to MM. yeah free pizza!

[dankatz]

It was awesome - really nice turnout! Am always amazed at the dominance of BMW's...must be those heated grips and seats. 8-)
Nice pics Talus - nice meeting you.

It is funny to watch what happens when the pizza guy comes out. its like throwing a handful of bread at the beach and watching the seaguls trip over themselves to get at it .

I was toasty this morning with the lectric vest and some disposo hand / feet warmers, though the last hour on the way home my hands and feet started to get cold .

not a bad turn out for such a cold day .

It is funny to watch what happens when the pizza guy comes out..

I know, I completely missed the forst couple rounds, I was outside talkin to Mick

it was 17° this AM when I headed out, I was the first bike to roll in at 9:30, snowflakes in the air when I got back home

it was a good turnout, I was dissapointed in Pauls glove selection, I was thinkin of buyin a new pair but gloves are something I will not order, I need to try on

[Not Sure]

Gcgiroux and I hits some back roads on the way down, and "W" road on the way home. Even in the cold that road is pretty fun. Saw something on my dash that I've not yet see before, a digital image of a snowflake? I'll have to check the manual to see what that's all about.

A lot of cool bikes there, I'm guessing roughly 100 or so in the lot when we arrived. Some of the hand warming contraptions were pretty funny, and there was a guy with a Goldwing that had about every device possible hanging off that beast. Also a quick Randy sighting. A few pics:

Yes sir.

Mighty fine machine you have there.

Pretty cool event. Free pizza and bikes, two of my favorite things.



Got to meet RandyO, and I got to see his "Darkside" setup on his DL1000, awesome looking bike BTW.

And that's a fine looking R1 in there

[gcgiroux]

"Not Sure" could have also mentioned that on the ride back, he was dive-bombed by hawk carrying a snake in its talons! Not sure if that was a good or bad omen for the upcoming winter?

[KB]

Was Norbone there or just his bikes?

KB

[Rossco]

I'm pretty sure he was there.
