Great Ride and Old Friends

[keystiger]

Had an invite last week and my work schedule FINALLY allowed me the chance to catch one Carl S for lunch with the MSTA riders--- at this wonderful little "glamping" location and smokehouse---
Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo in River Ranch Florida | Westgate Resorts

Good food -- and great folks -- wonderful day for a ride here in the swamps of Flo-ri-

Good to see you having a run out ... and catching up with Carl is a bonus.
Re the aviation noise, did you call the police? Old people like it nice and peaceful.

We rode 204 miles round trip. We took a long way home to avoid I-4 through Orlando. It is a genuine nightmare to ride two wheels on I-4. It was a great ride with perfect weather. The location was super. River Ranch is a fancy dude ranch with all the amenities. It is located along the Kissimee River. The BBQ was good, the service great, and the view lovely. I really enjpoyed meeting up with Adrian. It had been way too long since we rode together and visited. It is always fun to ride with friends. Five us rode down there together and Adrian joined us for part of the way home. These MSTA lunch rides arfe a lot of fun and good fellowship.

It's great you guys got to get together and ride.
Weather looks fantastic. We got 15 cms of snow last week. Just when it was mostly melted and there was a chance to get the bikes out. Have to wait for that to melt off and more snow coming Monday night(another 15 cms). Winter just won't let go this year.
Sorry if that's me just being jealous of your great weather.
Looks like a great time.

Thanks Carl, the years roll by and we are still above ground so all's well.
I still have my trusty 69 650 but the other bikes have gone, very little riding happening on my part. Been focusing on guitar and since February very busy with another push to get this house renovated.
The fact that you were out with Adrian today gives me the vibe that you are physically OK but failing badly at character assessment ;-) Haaa Haaa!

Glad you are still riding a little anyway. I understand the house renovation projects. We have been working on ours for almost seven years now. We have one bathroom to finish and we are done - I hope. I still have my 12 Tiger 800XC and my 68 Trophy TR6R.

Well yes, maybe my charfacter assessment does need a little work!

Great pictures

Thanks, Rocky.
