Open invitation

Keep me posted on the gathering, i dont get to ride with many people and its sounds fun. The only question i have is how fast do you guys ride? Because i am still getting to know my sport bike, 07' VFR is the first sport bike i have ever had the chance to ride. I love the bike but i feel like i still ride a bit slow.

 

Me too. I'm sketchy on virgin stuff. I'm olny fast on home court... IE:loops I've done countless times. Some of the guys are fast on virgin stuff but I'm sure there will be a few packs. Lead pack, middle pack, sweep pack, bench racing drinking/hung over pack and it could possibly be broken up even more than that. :thumbsup:

 

Just go with your own paste folk, We want you all come back for the BBQ.........The purpose of this is gathering getting to know each other and the bikes. So come out and party. Thanks geggie and his General for the invitation.

 

Location

Where is this gathering to take place? The group here in Sacramento has been looking foward to it.

 

Reg actually lives in Atascadero. It is just north of San Luis Obispo. It appears there will be more folks from NorCal are going. I will most probably be going down Fri from up here in Susanville. My route takes me right through Sacrapimento. A meeting at the gas station in West Sax could be arranged.

PM me if interested.

 

It's awfully tempting, but 2,400 miles one way is a looooooong solo ride. Especially in the end of March/Early April when good ol' Michigan likes to leave one last slap in the face of a foot of snow before spring finally hits.

 

That is why made me unique...........

Long, you are the only person I know that can type with an accent![/QUOTE]

Reg, You must have not been in Ca long enough...............:biggrin: or you need to get out of SLO more offen.

 

damn. calling me out? lol. It's only 1,100 some miles for him it looks likes...not even close!

I wouldn't think the west coast would be too bad for winter weather at that time of year though?

Bad news:
Option A: LINK
2,350 miles

If I take I-80....I've got to luck out with the lake effect snow in Michigan just to get out of the damn state, then I'd have to hope for warm air front so I can make it across Iowa/Nebraska....then there's that whole Rocky Mountain thing in Colorado(fun in the summer!)....yeah...that rains on my parade big time!:frown:

Option B: LINK
2,444 miles

I could take I-55 through Albuquerque but that looks like a long STRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIGHT road(but warm!). :frown::frown::frown::frown:

Oh yeah, tack a new set of rubber on somewhere in there...maybe I'll just ship a new set to my uncle in Yorba Linda...hmm...

Good News: I have friends to stay with in Chicago, Iowa, Nebraska, and Denver if the weather turned bad and I have family in L.A. to stay with. So this would chop costs significantly.


It's OH SO TEMPTING!!!

 

When are you planing this?
I would like to go but its a long ride just to get there for me, i live just over an hour north of sac

 

how much ridin experience do you have Ralph?

 

The Gathering

We are bunch of old crusty bastards and will not miss this. What day and should we wear something slutty?

 

Sounds like fun. I was hoping to go last year, but was the best man in a friend's wedding. I will see what I can do this year. June would probably be better for me. Wouldn't mind trying to meet up with some of the Sac. guys along the way and ride down together. Starting a new job here soon, so hopefully I can get the time off.

 

Ralph. You seriously think Oroville may be too far? Look north and east about 2 hours and you will see Susanville. I shall call you a weenie in public if you do not go!

 

I have had my motorcycle licence since i was 17ish But haven't always had a bike to ride.

 

If you feel the need to call me a weenie go ahead. But I am a 350 Pound fat guy with back problems

 

yeah, ok :wink:
