Geezer: Greg, you also are included in Los Robustos. Up at WFO-8, attendees thought that you and I were twin brothers.
Geezer, it was a pleasure meeting and riding with you at WFO-8. I also have been enjoying your Ride Report on your trip.

Wow! I didn't realize that I was that good looking. B)

I enjoyed riding with you as well. I haven't been riding much since I got back to the soggy northeast. I can't remember a wetter summer.

Hey you guys your club could have an Iron Gut rally, checkpoints at those restaurants that those giant portions. Amarillo TX for the 72 ounce steak etc.

And you could have cool names. instead of the HA version Killer or Gunman you could have Butcher, Bunman, Jalapeno etc

I think the patches should have the owners weight in various colors ie when you reach 250 lbs you get a bronze star with 250 in the middle.

Love the idea of an Iron-Gut rally!

I'm guessing that the patches will be worn on leather vest with chains across the front. Regular members will have the basic chain. Bronze star members will earn several additional links then silver star (300lbs) and gold star (350+) will have a lot more links.

Does the FJR has a weight limit? Just wondering, if the goals of this MC club really take off, will the FJR still be a suitable platform for toting these weight-enhanced riders around. It will probably do just fine, but top out at a mere 120mph and get 20mpg.

 
Shiny: Glad you're a member! But really, an entire rotisserie chicken? Shiny, for johnny80s and I, that's just an appetizer!
Yeah Shiney that's small potatoes. Lets go get a 72 ouncer or some thing that or something that has a shot at filling us up.
I'll have to go into training! Maybe three racks of ribs as an alternative? Or am I still thinking too small?

I want to earn my bones!

:yahoo:

Last year, 360 pounds, full load in the bags and a large motofizz with a 21 liter tankbag. Highway 50 coming back from NAFO.... 138 by GPS on PussyKat.

Unfortunately I've lost weight. I'm only 332 now. But the FJR did 142... hehehe

 
Hey Jill, don't worry about theweight limit, my FJR has been tested at over 600lbs of people and gear at well over 120 mph.

I wonder, if a Rubusto gets too much below 250 lbs, he must be on a diet.

So is it a lifetime membership until you diet?

Just had the most delicous open faced tri-tip sandwich with mashed potatoes, all smothered in gravy.

That was after the bowl of calm chowder and bread, of course. Yum, Yum.

Tomorrow I will meet Rogdeb at Solano Bakery for a ride to French Marin Cheese Company Petaluma, Tomales bakery, Lucas Wharf Bodega Bay (Lunch), Freestone Bakery, and then to Mimi's Ice cream in Sabastopol. Then maybe over to Calistoga for some BBQ. Yum, Yum.

Extra points for Nathan's Hot Dog eating Contest?

How about spare tire, fat tire, more to love, spring buster, whopper, big mac, the crusher, gutman, corndog, and my personal favorite: a man I worked with in Boston went by (I still don't know his real name) BEEF.

I say somebody gives members their club names like John Belushi in Animal House... flounder anyone? You don't like it? Tough. LOL

Generalissimo, Si: Con mucho gusto! Ah, muy delicioso biscochitos! Here's a favorite recipe, from Senora Romero of Taos.
Biscochitos: "This cookie is traditional in Taos, New Mexico. This particular recipe was given to me by my mother, Margaret Miera Romero."

Ingredients:

6 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 cups shortening

1 1/2 cups white sugar 2 teaspoons anise seed

2 eggs

1/4 cup brandy

1/4 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)

2. Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Cream shortening with sugar and anise seeds until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in flour and brandy until well blended.

3. Turn dough out on a floured board and pat or roll to 1/4 or 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into shapes (the fleur-de-lys is traditional). Dust with a mixture of 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.

4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
Mmmmm.... sounds yummy. And cinnamon is SO good for you. Perhaps Fairlaner could supplement his carnivorous diet with these :p

 
Is this what you were referring to? Ride to Amarillo (and no, not on the 40) and visit the Big Texan (clicky). Eat the 72 ouncer (you get it free if you do) and you're in?

I've been wanting to try that one for awhile now.

I'm watching this unfold, with great interest but of course I can't support some of the goals of Los Robustos. I'm sure that belonging to Weight-watchers is an automatic disqualification to membership.

I do know the Heimlich and CPR though, and can handle a defibrillator so I might be useful if the gluttony gets excessive.

Yep thats the baby, that has to be a stop on the Iron-Gut rally. Thanks for finding that out.

Seen the big Texan on TV a few times looks great but I could not eat that, no way.

DB

 
I'll double check, but as of two years ago, there was a greasy spoon in Sutherlin, OR with a 5 pound burger on a bun with all the fixings and fries. Eat the burger totally and it was free, otherwise, $15...

I admit I paid the $15 due to ordering with onions... can't stand raw onions. I am hanging my head....

And I could bring the insulin and nitro ;)

 
https://www.eatatjoesbarbecue.com/ ShinyPartsUp: Thanks for the recommendation of burger in Sutherlin, Oregon. Yummy!

johnny80s and I are discussing that the very first Los Robustos Iron-Gut Rally may be the last weekend of October or first weekend of November. We're looking at spending Saturday at The Aquarius in Laughlin, Nevada; eat at Joe's BBQ Sunday.

DABRIT and Wee Willy: Many thanks on your fine suggestions, consider yourselves members! Los Robustos M/C National President johnny80s had already discoverd the 72 ounce steak in Amarillo. Going to eat "Big Texan" will be a first for me.

HYCLE: Many thanks to you for describing your dinner last night. I love food ****. Prose gave my taste buds an erection!!!

Silver Penguin and MEM: If you two are volunteering your nursing services in support of Iron-Gut Runs, please consider yourselves members of Los Robustos M/C. The thought of coronary arrest did cross our minds. You can't be too careful.

I ride with a gentleman named Enrique Garza from my AZ Beemers Club. "Henry" is a City of Mesa Firefighter and Director of EMT's for F.D. and in support of the City of Mesa Police Department. Even though Senor Garza rides a BMW R1200GS, I was going to ask him along on Laughlin/Joe's BBQ Iron-Gut. But if you two can attend this, EMT Enrique will not be needed!

So is the rule so tight on this that NOTHING remains of the ordered burger? Sounds like pickin' nits if they dinged you on the onions...just sayin'.

5 lb burger...that's alot of burger! Like a meat loaf on a bun.
