Ride Saturday June 20 or Sunday 21

[675Rider]

Anyone want to ride next weekend on Saturday or Sunday, depending on weather. I was thinking of heading to Colorado City on 115 to 67 to 96 to 165. Putting this out now to give plenty of notice. How about meeting at Gate 1 by the memorial with all the tanks say around 0900. Hopefully some of you want to, as I have no sportbike friends to ride with, new to Ft Carson. Let me know if youre in, dont have to be in stone but it would be nice to have an idea of how many will show up... if any. Thanks.

Come to SoCo's Friday bike night (7pm/1900) and meet some folks, military, civilian, liberal, conservative, old, young, fat, skinny, ugly, pretty, hair gel, helmet hair, no hair, tats, no tats, smokers, non smokers, male, female, other, whatever. Don't be shy and just show up. Look for the post, usually posted by Friday afternoon.

That pretty much discribes one of us to a T,,,yes the regulars know who I'm talking about. I'll say it here and now....That's DALLAS!!!
The rest of us fall into at least one or more of the above catigoires.
As for me,,,I matched 10 at least....holly crap!

[675Rider]

Where or what is SoCo's?

[Hi11Zone]

[Clovis]

The 20th is my birthday but I have an appointment early (8:30am) -- I could probably make the 21st however.

So(uthern)CO(lorado)...that is our region...we try to meet every Friday at 1900 at different eating establishments around town...most of the time, that is when we will discuss weekend rides...so you should try to come out this Friday.

Anyway, I would be interested in a Sunday ride this weekend.

Ciao,

Best if followed by a "Beetches" or "Suckaz"

As in:
"Why would you do that?"
"Cuz we're SOCO Beeches!"

We are also refered to as "Southies" usually by the Northies. They use it like an insult, becuase secretly, they all want to be us.

But the fashionable term these days is "Dirty South," or "Dirty Souf." Most will relate that back to the Nappy Roots (http://www.nappyroots.com/), and while they really brought the term into the mainstream, I prefer to relate it to The Drive By Truckers (http://www.drivebytruckers.com/), as lyrically, its a lot closer to who we are.

We try to caution all folks new to our particular flavor of internet sarcasasm, do not judge us by what you see here. Lots of good folks with a lot of diverse interest, as Zeta alluded to. Some parts do not mix well together, but that doesn't make them any less of a rider.

[675Rider]

Ha ha, glad I could give some of you guys a laugh. I had heard the term "SoCo" before, but I thought it may be an actual place so I thought Id ask. So is the place going to be posted in the "SoCo" forum?

[Tipys]

^^^^Yes it will cause we don't like to follow all the rules.



Also I am down to ride either day. However the second part of the route you posted well doesn't have alot of turns and is pretty boring IMO.

[675Rider]

Thats cool, Im open to suggestions. I went on a ride with some of my Harley friends and they went that way, cant remember all of the route but I remember some nice curves on the second part, may have been only a few.

[Captain Obvious]

"Cuz we're SOCO Beeches!"


Not me, I don't speak with a Mexican accent.

[Tipys]

Also just remembered this would you mind meeting just up the way at the Black Bear Coffee place its in the same plaza as the safeway.

[Tipys]

Not me, I don't speak with a Mexican accent.
Mexican Spanish same diff.

[Drift]

Mexican Spanish same diff.

Same difference?!? :banghead:

[Concabar]

I am down for riding on the 20th.

[Mental]

Not me, I don't speak with a Mexican accent.

Yer doin it wrong. Jus say "Beeches" without moving yer bottom lip, like yus in Alabama, cuz ya got a dip in.

[Concabar]

Also just remembered this would you mind meeting just up the way at the Black Bear Coffee place its in the same plaza as the safeway.


Whereabouts is that at?

[675Rider]

Sure black bear coffee sounds good to me. Its next to the Safeway right off 115 and Academy.

[Concabar]

Okay, got it, sounds good, all I need is a time.

[Tipys]

Yes 115 and Academy and Just remembered it is Black Bear Cafe

[Concabar]

So, is this ride for the 20th or the 21st

[Clovis]

Just got home from the appointment this morning (turned out to be good news) -- tomorrow (Sunday) Shannon and I were thinking about leaving in the morning and being back in the Springs by 4pm to meet up with my folks for a father's day cookout.

We were thinking either Evergreen or Bishops -- weather is supposed to be great tomorrow and Monday!

719-201-9383 -- call me in the morning if you're interested, we'll likely be leaving the Springs around 8 or 9.

-Clovis

[675Rider]

Ha ha! We went too, 4 of us, we were chompin at the bit to hopefully beat some of the rain but didnt happen, got soaked! It was slick once we got up there. I already ride like a wimp in the rain, plus new tires so I was really skittish. We were losing grip everytime we hit any tar so we decided too call it quits. But on a better note I changed my plans around and am free tomorrow!! Supposed to be really nice who wants to ride and where you wanna meet?

[Drift]

If you want a change of scenary...I am going to ride with some of the northies tomorrow.

I plan on leaving the springs at 0700 to make their meet point.

From the sounds of it, this should be an easy ride and we should be back mid-day/afternoon.

I'm still waiting on a couple more details from the organizer.

Ciao,
Drift

[675Rider]

What type of route is it going to be up there drift? Ive got to his some curves to get these damn chicken strips off my new tires!

[Drift]

I have asked the question of the organizer...my initial feeling is that this ride will be able to help you get rid of those chicken strips. :)

As soon as I have more info I will post or PM you. It would be nice to have someone else from the "Dirty South" to ride up and back with.

Ciao,
Drift

[CaneZach]

Matt, if I wasn't flying out tomorrow, I'd be riding with you. What really sucked is that today was the only day I could ride, so naturally it was crappy all morning

[Drift]

We will ride again when you get back! Enjoy the change of climate and the down-time...have a great trip.

[675Rider]

[675Rider]

Well to those who did not ride up to meet the Denver group you missed out on a good ride. Of course most of you have rode where we went anyway. But it was fun. Sorry Miss Jessie, Im married but Im sure there are plenty of single lads on here that would be more than happy to talk to you.
