5th Annual Eskimo Joe's 'Ride to Eat'. Saturday 29 April 2017

Let's all ride to Stillwater Oklahoma for some camaraderie and good food. Arrival time is 11:30-- noon. There was a good turn out last year. Let's see if we can add a few more this year.

I'm planning on making the ride, I don't think we are going to have son's Ninja painted and back together in time. I will PM squidley63 and see if he wants to make the ride.

The weather for this years RTE definitely did not cooperate.  :crazy: It rained pretty much the whole way to Stillwater from Wichita. A 2 hour ride in constant rain will give you a reality check on how well your rain gear works. My rain suit let some water in, but I believe it was more of inattentive storm flap closure by yours truly.   :Facepalm:

Darren from Sport-Touring.net showed up on his BMW GS and we had an enjoyable lunch and conversation.

The ride home was uneventful. We only hit rain for about half of the ride home.

My daughter enjoying herself and the two water logged rides.

We may need to change your name to Eskimofred. Are you looking into getting dog sled team? Instead of horse power, you could have dog power. BARK BARK

I can see your FJ now, being pulled along by 6 or 8 dogs. 10 would be too fast for you. Your daughter behind yelling, mush mush. you yelling, woe woe.
