ok this is what i have so far .. if we alll want to meet up at the same time in or around harper ( about 15miles from I-10 ) the houston guys would have to leave at 10am (you would stop and pick up budrick) and then from there you would meet me and alapha off I-10 .. you houston guys are looking at 5 hours just to meet up with me and alpah . ok as far as hotels go fort stockton looks like it has a good hotel its the " la quinta inn" 64 a night . comes out to 32 a person .. but then its 120 to big bend .. orrrr .. if you guys dont mind coughing up another 20 bucks we can get one in alpine,tx .. and its about 93 miles to big bend . i dont really see any thing closer sanderson has a  bit better rates .. at about 25-30 a person a night ( its really like 58 a night but its perroom and out of the five of us we can split it down the  middle) i just need to know what you guys are willing to spend and all that .. so i can get to calling these ppl . i'm trying to get us as close to big bend as possible with out breaking the bank . i'm going to call the big bend and find out how much there rates are there at the motel on the spot ( somthing tells me it will probly be 100+ a night ) but i'm going to call them tommrow so up date me so i can start making the reservations

I think treybrad sold his GS, actually.

Whoa whoa... I haven't sold my GS.. not yet anyway. I've just been busy w/ school and work. I haven't been on here much at all I guess. Anyway, sounds like a fun ride, I can't go but I'm down for a weekend ride sometime. My GS will be up for sale around July/August, so if you know someone looking for a bike.. let me know.

I'd like to keep my rooming costs around $30 or $40 or less, if possible. Like I said, I can sleep on the floor to further reduce the costs of a room.

good god is this sweet  or what !!  i think i hit the jack pot guys !! they have  a stone lodge in big bend . its 95 a night and 10. bucks extra for each person up to 6 ppl .. theres 3 double beds ..   heres a link !   http://www.nationalparkreservations.com/bigbend_chisos.htm   <--- cant really beat that . your looking at 27 bucks a person .. right on sight.... now thast not with tax .. add some tax. and your looking at what .. at most 35 bucks ? if you guys are in for it let me know .. and we can see what we can do to get it reservied

That sounds perfect. Count me in.

ok ok .. about the last post i made about staying in Big Bend .. heres the deal .. we have to pick at least 3 logges .. CHISOS MOUNTAIN LODGE,THE MINING COMPANY,THE GAGE RESORT   .. we need to pick those three .. there all great looking places .. with the mining company being the cheapest . but i was going for the chisos mountain lodge . cuz it has the best stuff for the best price it seems like .. oh and we need someone with a credit card to do this .. i can put down everything you need to know that way you can tell them .. then when we meet up at our meeting location we can give our money out then ( to who ever charges it ) cuz we HAVE  to  do this in an advince . thats the only way . 2nd .. if we do get chisos mountains . theres atmost 3 double beds .. i figure since theres 5 of us . we should come up with a plan for how we sould do this .. say who ever takes the bed pays a few extra bucks .. and those that take the floor dont pay that much ? that way it evens out .. where looking at 150 bucks total for everyone . unless .. i think it was budrick that said he might get a few more ppl to go .. if you are you really need to press them to this and see if there going that way we can change the plan and get two room sinstead of one .. most these places only allow up to 4-6 ppl per room ..       the line in the middle of the red  llines .. if i'm correct this is river road . !!! god i cant wait ! .

I'm up for any of the lodges, but if I was to choose one, I'd say go with Chisos. I like the idea of people on beds paying a bit more. Something like 5 or so.

We should also make a rule that we all have to wear all our gear all the time. I don't want to see one of you crazy fools splattered against a wall!

I am up for it. Im In. I have a friend with a harley thats interested. Hope no one minds. What do yall think about the possibility of a harley riding with us?? He is going to get back with me in a day or two to see about his work schedule and if he can get the time off. Oh and about the gear  . 

Anyone want to give me a call to talk about anything. 210-602-7028--Sprint. Free time after 7pm. Name is Ben by the way.

I think a guy on a Harley should be fine. I am probably not going to go at a break neck pace while we're out there very often, so yeah. I don't have a credit card, so I can't get the reservation

yea the harley can tag along i dont mind here .. but if no one has  a credit card then we will have to find a way to meet up here in the next week and i can put the money in my account ( the one card i have only has branches in roundrock and dallas )  that way they money is there and it can be delt with

I'm going to San Antonio on Friday. Budrick, if you want to meet me there I'll get the money to Feared along with mine.

As for the Houston guys, I dunno about them.

straymonolith kinda had a good idea ..about us meeting up sometime and going on a short ride just to see how we ride togeather and get an idea of riding skill/lvl .. me i love and crave corners .. so i'm gonna have to watch my self on riverroad .. that i know of alpaha is pretty good me and him could meet up really easy seeing how i like LCR and i want to get to that big bike shop in austin so i can look at there flush mounts ..

Yeah, but I haven't ridden in like 6 weeks due to my track accident and getting the bike fixed. I'm still getting my cornering skills back. Still a bit aprehensive and scared the tail is gonna slip out on me.

Who from Houston is DEFINITELY confirmed for this? I know so far Budrick, me, and Feared are all definitely in, but who else?

straymonolith,css   

Well, I haven't been riding too long, but I'm learning to take corners more aggresively. So I'm looking forward to the twisties.
Btw, I looked up the map, and what you had circled was the Mexican border. Here's a screenshot, the green line is actual roads. Still looks awesome.

yeaa thats cool .. on another note . i have bad news :| 
all of big bend is booked up but the ones that cost like 200 bucks a night . and can only have 2 ppl per room :| so  thats that .. the only other option we have is staying in for davis or fort stokton or another town that starts with an S  really dont bother me but from FT.stokton to bigbend is 120 miles the town with an s is 116 and ft.davis is i think 70 .. so this means we will just get to reast a little longer and ride a little more on sat. i'll start my hunt on motels outside of bigbend again .

ok ppl its set in stone now . CSS has put in the reservations for the rooms at the "Best Western Swiss Clock Inn Property" its gonna be 30.13 a night and for those 4 that are getting a bed you need to fork up an extra 5 bucks a night so your looking at 70 bucks for the the two nights where there   i'll take a bed so theres one bed taken    

Feared(me)-62 (bed)
alpha- 56(floor)
css4608-61(bed)
straymonolith-56(floor)
brudrick-62(bed)
budricks friend-62(bed)     


budrick if you have a problem with this speak up i did not have a way to get a hold of you .. so i kinda did it on a first come first serve deal .

*edit* as for a day to meet up ... say the end of feb. .. maybe the 4th of march ? the only other days i would be able to ride are sundays .. lets throw some dates up in the air i just need to know so we can meet up and see how we ride as a pack and to see what skill lvl everyone is at .. i dont want to make this a bad trip for someone

Ok Im down. Yall can reach me at 210-602-7028 (Sprint) Free after 7pm. But you can call before that. Anyway, yeah still trying to get the deal done with my buddy. So no promises there. Will get back to yall with that ASAP.

Alpha you said you were going to be in San Antonio tomorrow (Friday). I have school from 730-230. Do you want to meet up so I can get you the money or how are we going to do the money thing?? Are we going to give it to CSS when we get there??

About leaving at 12 or meeting at 12, yes I am cool with that. That is spring break week so no school here.

Yeah, I'm going to be in San Antonio on Saturday (not Friday like I originally thought) around noon-noon thirty to visit my girl. I'll be leaving sometime around mid afternoon the next day if you just want to meet up to ride around. For the money I think we're just going to give it to CSS when we meet up in March, since he lives in Houston.

sweet then budrick one dont you just ride up to austin/killeen thur. night ? then we can all leave at the same time and not be meeting and all that stuff ?
