Biker Lunch 1 Year ago  
Joe (txulrich) got together for lunch today. He works in Plano which is just a little way from where I live so we decided to meet and eat some Texas BBQ. It was very enjoyable and we swapped bike stories and had a good time. The clinic has some very nice people in it and over the years I have met many of them. Some have made long trips to come and have me work on their bikes and I have really enjoyed meeting them. Joe sprung for the meal so the least I can do is when he needs help with his bike he better know who he can count on. (Thanks a great meal Joe!) I would love see a big get together in the North Texas area some day to say Hi to everyone. If I wasn't so old and broke I would love to take a trip up north too. Great guys hang out on here.

Re:Biker Lunch 1 Year ago  
Thanks Curt.

I enjoyed breaking bread with you. I have to second your thoughts on the nice people here at the clinic. There are so many that are willing to jump in and offer their experiences and even some physical assistance. I may very well take you up on your offer when it's time to play with my carb. It's going to be one of the first things I need to do. Peace to you.

The Mrs. is going out of town in a couple of weeks. Maybe that would be a real good time to do it. I'm thinking of pulling the AIS too. I'll order the kit. We'll talk more. Thanks.
