Trip to NorCal

So I journeyed up to the northernish side of california on friday to catch up with the Guys up there. Plus have some work done on the bike that I wasn't comfortable doing.
The drive started alright.. after picking up the trailer loading the bike and getting out of town 3 1/2 hours later than I wanted we were on our way
After a brief stop in San Fransisco and opening of some late christmas presents.I dropped the child and Girlfriend off and headed on to Sacramento.

The drive was pretty uneventful right until I got stopped for driving 62 MPH isstead of 55 MPH ( california trailer law) . as it turns out if your tired and Snotty to the patrolman they will try to give you a rectal exam right there on the side of the road...
so after a brief(35minute) stop and explaination as to why I didn't have the registration for a bike that I was trailering and where I was going at 1100PM on a friday night I was back on my way..

I got to TOes House around 1230am , he was asleep already but some of the Norcal guys waited up for me to get there.. Drewl, Bwiess, Toxic, superTex, Doodles all stayed up and welcomed me with a "get a beer yourself bitch". II had 2 and everyone was leaving or finding some floor to crash on..
Saturday morning Toes Wife made breakfast (yumm yumm) and we got stsarted on the bike around 11 or so.

here is a picture of Toe working on it..

The house project manager:



Then after the fixing of the VFR fun and games insued:




Oh yeah there was gin and drewl


The garage was mostly VFR's athought tainted by to suzuki DRZ's

if you look close enough there is two second gens, a third gen, and a Sixth gen...

Then the conversation turned towards the infamous exhaust system...I saw it it is real ..






these guys are a piece of work (fosterRad)

any way fun was had. it was nice to see TOE Drewl, Bwiess, and Toxic again.. saw drewl and reg a while back when they stopped for lunch on the way to Longs.... and it was nice to finally meet Cundalini, Mudguts, and supertex..

here is toxic TOE and Bwiess


Mudguts and Cundalini


All in all it was a good time. got the valves adjusted, which weren't out that much for a 20+year old bike( intakes were a little tight exhaust were right at spec.) the VFR is running better than ever after everything TOE did to it ( he even removed that pesky emissions stuff) tightened up a few loose bolts and cussed me a little bit but it was all good..

Long is even more famous than we thought..he has a following in Sacramento as proof of this sign I saw. and these were all over the place..

Nice write up.

Glad to see Cundalini falling into his gay superhero costume so well.

BZ

 

falling into? I think he was always there..just needed a push....

 

yeah. its a nice "calm" place helped to get the influence of the stuck up city off of me..Don't get me wrong I like where I live but some of the people (those that do not ride Viffers) just act like they are entitled to a life of easys treet and it gets a bit annoying at times...good times at the TOECUTTER casa. his wife rocks ...she kept us in food and drink guacamole (homemade it was to die for)

 

thanks for sharing bro. glad you had a good time there.

 

It was cool to hang out, even if we didn't get to ride. Thanks again, Toe for opening your house and making your wife feed us.

 

What no crushing dryers with construction equipment? :shocked: Nice write up of your trip!

 

it was to cold to go to the yard for that...I think that it is a summer olympic event not winter....but I am sure that if we pushed it we could have....

 

Nice summary of your trip. Glad you had a good time. And yes Toe's wife is the isht for her cooking and opening up their home for us to hang out. It was very cool too.....sleeping on the floor....me cuddling cundalini and him cuddling Tahoe the dog. lol I think I still smell like puppy.

 

very good post. thank you very much for the write-up and especially for the pics!

 

I'm Jealous =P next time swing by my pad Crusty and i can roll my baby onto your trailer hahahahaha

 

not saying that it would have been cool to meet you pyro.......but 10 hours in the car with my three year old was enough.......swinging by your place I think by the time I got to TOEs' place, I would drink all the beer gin and anything else that I could get my fingers wrapped around..... LOL......besides the next time I go to sacremento........... I hope to be riding the bike ...not trailoring it.

 

ah valid point... I'd like to do a ride up there too, provided I can afford gas =P

 

It was a good time , was a bummer the weather was not better so we could have rode around a bit, was looking foward to it but will have to be another time. Spring is just around the corner and so are many more good times.

 

too true.... haha I gotta mention SLO =P

 

I can not wait. Curious this year......Reg may need to have more beer ......first keg is on me. Look foward to ya'll and the pic's to follow.....A good bunch we are!West coast members that is!
