The Lone Star Rally

First I've heard of this, but it's going to be in Galveston on September 25-28. Check out their website for more details. The Lone Star Rally (http://www.lonestarrally.com/) Perfect chance for us to get together. Let me know. DUECE P.S. It's FREE!

You said my favorite word .... Free! Sounds good to me. I'll go.

cool

From what I hear they are expecting around 20k bikes this year and about 40k next year. Where and how they get these estimates I have no idea. I'll try to make it one of the days. Just keep me posted. I'll be out of town for part of the weekend (going riding around Canyon Lake area) but I'll be back that Sunday. I might leave for the lake a day later to go to Galveston to check out the rally on opening day if you guys are there.

Actually those number are pretty accurate.....The last Rally was in May in Ausitn and it was absolutely insane. I35N&S was nothing but bikes. 48K bikes were in Austin for that weekend event. Riders were from all over the neighboring States.

:cryin :cryin :cryin :cryin Guys, please take pictues or this awsome event. I'll be in class wishing I was there. Make a sign saying "Imagine this Jack hole!" or something like that b/c I'm probably not going to be there :cryin :cryin

Watch what you ask for Imagine......LOL Remember the "Tidbit is a bitch" pics and threads? ROFL

thats ok though, I think its funny and it would bring a tear to my eye to see that you guys remebered a fellow R1 member even though I dont have a bike:cryin :cryin :cryin

If they are pulling the numbers from the ROT Rally, then those are accurate. But, this rally was formerly held in the Rosenberg area I believe. I'm not sure if those are the numbers from previous rally's. I'll check into it, but I will definately be there. I'll call as many of you guys that I have numbers for to let you know when and where we can meet up.

Very true........Regardless the point is the turnouts are always large. be it 100 or 400 its still huge.

The Lone Star Ralley was held in Rosenberg. Inx, the Republic of Texas (ROT) ralley was held in Austin earlier this year.......different ones....LOL Should be interesting to see how it is set up in Galveston and how many show up.

I would like to see as many of you guys that can make it there. I live in a small apartment about 30 mins from Galveston. If you need a place to crash, I might can help. I do have a garage. Let me know if you're interested in coming.

:hellobye hey fella's count me in on that one. Has anyone here been to one of these in Galveston? Are the po po's as bad as they are during Kappa?Man I'd just hate to go to jail over some BS again............:mad:

What day is everyone thinking of going? I have a gig Saturday night here in Houston so I have to be here at least by 6-6:30. I was thinking of going Friday and coming back Sat.

:cryin :cryin :cryin :cryin :cryin :cryin :cryin WHY!?? WHY CANT I SPEND MY MONEY ON A BIKE!?!:cryin :cryin :cryin

I made a post on local meets and events about this rally...I have been telling people to meet behind the Hooters on Nasa rd 1 and 45 (Burlington Coat Factory Parking Lot) right around noon. The plan is to get ATLEAST 100 street bikes to meet and role down to G town together....I already have about 30 or so of my friends meeting there. It will give something for the Harley riders to look at for once! Who's coming with us?

Ya'll know I'm down. I'll be rolling up at noon with a full tank. Looks like this thread is getting a few more hits.

Noon on Sat?

yup noon on Sat. If it doesn't freakin rain you won't be able to miss us with the size of the group we are expecting to show. Buddha has been on the horn for a few days now rounding up as many bikes as possible.

How far away would that put us from there? I was hoping to get there a little earlier since I have a gig that night in the northwest part of town. I just have to head back no later than 5:30. Should be fine though. Do ya'll live in the south part of town? Ya'll need to sign up for the squadron.

Buddha and I are down on the South side all the time along with a group of other riders. No telling how long it will take to get that many people moving but I'd say it won't take more than 30 minutes to get to the sea wall from there, probably less if traffic permits, not really sure what to expect.

:( :( :( :( Sadly, I am scheduled to work Friday and Saturday nights now, so I can't plan on going. . .unless my schedule drastically changes by that weekend. *sigh* Like Imagine said. . .think of me there. . . .wish I could go. :cryin

from the hooters parking lot where we will be meeting to where we need to get in Galveston will take about 15 min. or so.....how do I sign up for the squadron...I just started getting on this site so I don't know a whole lot about it

You just signed up. Send me a PM with all your info. I've been making a rider list. Once you send my your info, I'll send you a copy of what I've got. Check out my rider info thread. Mach5er called me this morning and I'm in. I'll make some calls to see how many other riders I can get.

Hey can you sign me up too

Yep, I just added both of ya'lls names to the list

Rider info thread? Where do I look to see that?

Go here. http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47669

Just to let you know...Leo and I have been rounding up more people to meet....looks like we might be able to break the hundred mark!

What day are you guys actually going? I may not be leaving for Canyon Lake now until Friday night so I'll be heading to the LSR on that day.

I think they are talking about heading up there on Saturday, 1700.

Yup, Sat at noon, be there ready to go. Like Buddha said, I couldn't imagine 100 bikes stopping for gas at the same time.

I've been with a group of 30+ bikes and we all stopped to gas up / top off at the same time......LOL

I've gased up with a little less than 30, not a fast process. I was watching a bike video last night and there were about 100 + bikes at this gas station and I just thought to myself, although slow that looks freakin awsome. We just want to get out in a hurry and get to where all the action is.

How are we doing on numbers as far as who is still coming with us and how many patnas yous guys are bringin wit ya?

The commitments will come 1 day or two before Saturday. No one likes to commit. Were dudes! That is the beauty of it. I "plan" on being there with a posse' see ya

Funny shit 5er...I hear ya on that one....see ya there....or better yet...I "plan" on seeing ya there

Man thanks for the great time fellas and ladys.........I had a blast....by the way I was on the blue r-1 hence big blue...........any way a few of you know what happened while we were on the strand to my bike that really sucks and I'm still pissed off at that but oh well I'll just replace the parts and put loc tite on the bolts this time...lol...well hope to ride with you peeps again....

Man, I had fun too! Still can't believe your stuff got ganked!!! Later...

You guys are crazy and I enjoyed meeting every one of you. Hope to get together again soon!:hellobye

:hellobye Oh well its better those cheap little carbon pieces than the whole bike I guess :boom <---all thieves on site ask questions later....:p well when I finally learn to wheelie I think I'll have more fun...........Thanks again guys and gals and hope to get together again soon.....:sneaky

Yeah guys, that was a blast.. Even to a cager like me. I know we got some pretty bad ass pics, so expect to see them from Rawed here in no time. If you guys go riding anywhere, make sure you give everyone on here a shout. Remember, there is safety in numbers, and now you guys are part of the Ghostrider Squad, so make sure you yell. Also, there was a lot of guys that were there that had no clue about the squad.. Send them this way, guys. Rodeo

Will do.........when are the stickers going to be ready?

:confused: Who were you guys? I was there...at Hooters...I got there around 12:30 though. When i rolled up there were a few bikes, all of them were pre 02. The Hooligans were there too... I was with a silver 03 R1 and a yellow/black gixxer 600. We came in, nowhere to sit so we rode on. We met up with a crew that was docked along the sea wall. Then we all rode down to Cherry Hill and sat there until the popo in the weeds headed our way and I never saw you guys again. We went down on the strand and were disgusted by the morons. WE didnt end up staying long. I talked to one guy w/a red and black R1 - D&D and a Scott's dampner. He had on sidi boots or something like that. Boots, either way. Was that one of you? Marcus

I was at Hooters on the '00 Blue R1. There was room at the bar so we ate something and headed for Galveston, hung out on the Strand for a while and watched a few wrecks and took off about 5ish? Sorry I missed meeting you. Maybe next gathering. :beer

I guess you guys were the ones takin up the entire bar! :lol I didnt know faces, so I didnt want to walk up and be like HEY FUGGERS! WHO'S THE R1-FORUM GUYS!?! so I just laid low and then we took off. Oh well...we WILL meet again. marcus

Yea ... that was all of us. The whole bar and one of the tables. You should have. I did at the JCI. Never met them before. "Ok .... who's in the forum?" Great way to meet people. :lol

We were all together at the Seawall in front of FishTales. There was like 80 of us.

Damn. I missed out on that part. Had to leave early. We should all get together again soon.

Wish I would have gone with you guys. I went up to Canyon Lake instead since we had planned the trip for about a year. And yes I rode the bike up there and back. It was okay, but I think I would have had a better time at the rally. I've got Sundays and Mondays off so those would be the days I could ride if we all want to get together for a ride. I've got 29k miles on the bike so as you can tell I'm up for riding anytime, anywhere. Hey, anyone doing the Hooter's 20th anniversary thing? Get your Hooter's passport and get it stamped at 20 different Hooter's locations and you get a party with 200 wings and I think you are eligible for $20,000. Ends in November I think. Just a thought, especially since there are almost 20 of them in the Houston area.

I didn't meet any of you guys except for pollution....by the way pollution, if your girl still wants my friends bike...let me know....We need to have some sort of identifier (any ideas?) that we should have on or something to be able to tell which fools we talk to online all the time and try to meet to ride and never know who the hell they are!

My identifying factor is I'm the guy on the blue R1. :lol I'm going to get some r1-forum stickers made soon. Slapping one on my Chevy too. Marcus

You can find R1 and Yamaha stickers anywhere. Why do you want to get them made. I'm sure we'll be riding this weekend sometime. Maybe it will be easier with a smaller group to find out who's who. :riding

We should plan something for just the forum members. I don't like to exclude people from riding, but maybe just once. I think some people are riding this weekend (Sat.) if anybody wants me to call them let me know.

I'll be riding this weekend cuz the weather is gonna be great. Hey Pollutionx, PM me if you get a chance and maybe we can meet up somewhere early afternoon. I'll probably be rididng with my buddy that has the silver R6.

Well .... if we decide on a name and logo ... that could be our identifier! Sat would be cool. About what time and where? I have a free breakfast from malborough at 12:30 on richmond. Maybe we can meet up with ya'll after 1:30. Let me know.

If the weather is anything close to like today I'm definitely up for a ride if you guys don't mind my tagging along. :hellobye

the more the better I always say. Just let me konw where ya'll wanna meet. I'll probably be riding around before then with some others so I'm down for pretty much any place and time.

:eek: :eek: man another ride.......j/k I'd love to someone come up with a time and place where we can all meet then go from there. And only wait up to 1 hr for the late people to show up this way it doesn't ruin anyone elses riding time.......some of us have busy schedules ya know!!!:crash :crash :sneaky

I like names like "lucky 13th" and all that. Those sound like squadron names. Ghostdriders sounds juvenile to ME. I know I dont matter that much, but I'm just saying. I see some Suzuki's with Redline Rider on their bikes, that flows, rolls off the tounge, and sounds intimidating. Also sounds organized. I think we need to put more thought into our little squad's name. I have 3 friends with R1s too, they dont get online much though. We ride every chance we get. Usually 6 days out of the week we are out at night. If you care to get ahold of me, or want us to call you - 832-526-2415 and emial me during the week 9-5 @ marcusr@crcu.org I know a sticker shop - partnering building with my mother's optician's office. FREE STICKERS! Well, for me. I can't get mass quantities, but I can get em CHEAP. So lets put something together, at least a little cruise or something. Do you guys mind wheelies? Or would you shoot me if I did one? Marcus

I'm down for whatever on Sat. Someone name a time and a place and I'll be there unless something crazy comes up

Damn it, I gotta work on Saturday............sucks. I'm easy to identify........just look for the big red bike with a monster rear tire and a huge bazooka of a muffler on the side.....ROFL

:hellobye well I don't how far you guys are out from JCI but that seems to be a place that everyone knows........someone here call out a good time that you know all of us late risers are up and lez do dis........:jump :jump :jump :rock :rock :rock

Okay, I must be the village idiot............what is JCI?? James Coney Island?? If so, I can be there after work on Fridays/Saturdays. My bike is easy to spot......hehe

James Coney Island on Westheimer? name a time...anyone....anyone...Bueller

2:00 P.M. or later please ....

after 2 sounds good to me...will give me time to sleep of my hangover I plan on having after getting housed tonight!

me and some of my friends are planning on going to the Ride Smart track day in college station on Oct. 26 if anyone is interested...it costs around $125 for the whole day to ride Texas World Speedway

Buddha, were you headed tonight for the festivities? I'mma be in CLC. I'll give you a call.

actually f4i and I are going to some new club she wants to check out off of I-10...club Hush...

Hey Leo, I just noticed that you and Trainwreck have the same title...wuzup wit dat

that title is automatic from the system. I didn't make it up. You know I don't do any impressive wheelies. I just :riding cruise like that. You and F4i have a good time. Tell F4i I say hello. I'll drink one fow ya'll on the south side.

Well when you fellas figure out what time you guys are meeting tomorrow will someone please PM me and let me know? I get so many R-1 Forum e-mails in the inbox that I disabled the notice feature. Thanks. :hellobye

I gots traffic court at 9:00am. I might be in for a little something something. I also disabled my notifier cuz I got to many people hittin on me.... hahaha JJ:boobies :makeout :riding

Cool, I get some more parts off Big blue Saturday....
