MOKANAR (missouri-oklahoma-kansas-arkansas)

Thought I'd start a new thread, as not all of us are from KC. Be nice to have our own header! (hint hint mods)

How much rain you all getting? I have about 3.25" since Thursday night. Raining all day today as well.

It some prototype I found online. Would probably have to sell my house to buy it. That would be cool though

Well this feels like everytime i plan on going down to AK.... Lots of rain and not so nice weather here in Oregon.

Finally allowing me to get the bike wiped down and cleaned up.. new license plate relocation project starts later on today!

Well I spotted Kendon for dirt cheap.....in Houston.
But I have a friend in Dallas who flys for Continental and usually begins his shift flying out of Houston. So I need to find out if he usually drives, or flys to Houston. If he can bring it to Dallas for me, its too good a deal to miss. He would probably bring it all the way to Norman for me.
I still haven't asked 'permission' from the wife, but this one might be shoot first and beg forgiveness later.:laugh:

The Craigslist ad didnt have a number so I sent an email first thing this morning but still havent heard anything. I'll try again tomorrow. I hope I didn't piss off my wife today for nothing. :laugh: She said OK but it was the same kind of yes I got when I bought the Triumph.
If the guy responds, I'll take it

Still no word from the guy - sent another message this morning. Maybe he figured out it's worth more than $700. There are two others for sale in his area fro $1950 and $2000 so maybe he has second thoughts.

If it was, I'm impressed he picked a little piss ant sized town outside Houston to claim as his city. The ad didn't have any of the usual red flags (except the price). Sounds like it was written by a regular country guy. I suppose it could be stolen (doesn't have a title) but in this state (and I think in Texas too) you don't need a title for a trailer and you don't even need to tag a trailer in OK

It's not like it said "I for wish you to buy the equipment to move a motorcycle. upon payment, to you I will ship.":laugh:

We gotta title and register trailers here in Missouri. You Oklahoma folks have a lot more personal freedom, lol. I've always said Arkansas and Oklahoma were 2 of the better states to retire in. KEY WORD - retire. Trying to find a good job there, and to a slightly lesser degree, here as well, is another story. :laugh:

We have tons of telemarketing and call center jobs. AOL, AAA, Farmers, Convergys, Direct TV, Dell, and dozens of other call centers for a semi-skilled workforce. The better jobs are with the Oil and Gas companies but those are boom and bust every 5 years. Our unemployment is low, but the quality of jobs here is not great.

Check out http:// www.417moto.com if you reside in the Southwest Missouri area. It's a local discussion forum for SW Missouri motorcycle enthusiasts. We've got Queen City Rockers -- Eldorado Cycle R.A.T. sub-forum moderated by Randy at Eldo Cycle. Please have a look!

Thanks for the heads-up, will check it out. The old SWMO Sportbike site had become a social-drama cesspool.

Amazing day on this end of the Country....

Great food, a beautiful woman (My Wife), won some good coin at the casino, and managed to save my D675 from falling off the damn ramp, while loading it up on the back of the truck..

Something special about getting stabbed in the leg by a solid rearset peg, and MAN DANCING :wannafight: with the bike to prevent it from failling to the ground from about 4ft up...

Thank god for being a Big guy!
No damage other than the blood on the bike.. Shit happens!

Just got back late last night from a quick trip to Dallas - man I DO NOT miss that place at all! Traffic just sucks big hairy balls. Had a f-tard wipe out 2 cars in front of us while he was weaving in-and-out of lanes @ 75 mph. I hope he crapped his pants on top of it as well, lol.

Anyway - went to 2 of our favorite places, MotoLiberty and Pappasitos... yum! :thumbup:

I like Papppasitos and Chueys. But we just got a Chueys last year and it doesn't seem as special when its 1/2 a mile away

No, I used to go to Dallas almost every weekend for soccer tournaments. My son was in a regional league where we played teams from Dallas and Houston on a regular basis. We rarely had to go to Houston but they rarely came to Oklahoma either, so we played a lot in Frisco at Pizza Hut Park.

So we went to Papasiotos and Chueys a lot. We were excited to get Chueys in OK last year, but now the 'new' has worn off.

What I really want is an In-and-out burger:nod:

It looks interesting but if I get one, I would rather have a 2 bike trailer. For Rat Raids I could carpool over with someone and split gas.
But at the moment, I'm thinking I get this Civic sold in the spring and buy an older pickup and use that for bike transport.
I'll probably end up riding to the Rat Raid again, but this time, maybe meet up around Mt. Magazine. Thats 4 1/2 hours from me so I could be there by 10:30 or 11:00

Tested my new late fall/winter/early spring jacket today (RS Taichi RSJ282). It was 27° degrees out.... burrrrr. Not knowing what to expect, I also wore the Freeze Out shirt over my t-shirt. I was toasty warm! :thumbup: For such a light-weight jacket, I was surprised it was that warm, now I can ride more, I'll hit 20,000 miles tomorrow.

I pussed out on riding to work this morning. I would have had to gear up in a way to completely change everything at the office. And my gloves aren't good enough for a 40 minute ride in the low 30's. Maybe Friday.
 
#376 ·
My record is 32° on a new years day ride. I would need heated gloves if I did that very often.
