Des Moines Ia. mini meet n greet

[GSXcite]

OMSLAW, myself and others are riding up to Des Moines Iowa this Sunday to meet up with GSXTacy and some others. Last time we met up at hooters, went for a group ride, back to hooters for some Chiefs football before heading home. Had a great time. Who would be interested in going? How about it WWJD, fstbusa, HOOKEN203, the Omaha gang and you Kansas City area riders. Chime in and let us know if you would like to go with us. The weather is going to be great and I'm sure it will be a great time.

Darn, wish you could make it. We will get together before the weather turns.

That sounds like a blast. Like semi, we already have plans too. I'm sure you guys will have enough fun for the rest of us.

What time and where are you guys planning on meeting? My son has a football game that afternoon, but I might be available earlier in the day.....

[GSXTacy]

Me, Kevin (Big Sexy), and Doyle (Pops Roos) are in. Trying to get Geoff to go also.

[fstbusa]

Since the KC gang won't have to deal with rain this time, I would like to be at the same Hooters as last time in the 10:30 - 11:00 am range. That should give us time to take a ride , and meet back up at Hooters for a while. That should give you time to get back home to your game. Hope you make it.

Where are you going to ride? I'm in Des Moines but I'll have to check to see if I'm doing anything on Sunday.

[BusaWhipped]

I'd be there, but I don't have enough rubber left after the Meet and Greet and the Busa Bash to get there and back. New tires are ordered, but won't be here in time for this.

OK. I watched the turbo video. You now must come on Sunday so I can see the 2nd turbo busa in Des Moines. I'm assuming you've seen the red one?

[spkerhed]

I might be able to make it but have to see if a buddy of mine can get away cause I dont want to ride alone its about 4 hours one way from here

Yep, saw the red one, rode the red one had to have one

I think I rode with you and Eric once last year, maybe? didn't have the turbo at that time.
