As a Scotsman it would be rude of me if I didnt pay homage to our national saint; Johnny Walker on what we call Hogmonay. I suspect i will be in no fit state to ride a bike.

Have fun and be safe

Lol Fraser. I expect that is a wise decision, given your "Hogmonay"! Grin

Enjoy your celebration. You too Brady!

Carr Great way to kick off 2011!

Phillip (guy on the 748) & I got separated from the group at the last stop sign and couldn't catch back up. We stopped and got gas once we hit 290 and headed back to Houston.

Was a great ride and excellent route, thanks again!!!
