Ride up to SLO/Monterey

SD folk are running up early-ass Friday morning. We plan on leaving SD (Oceanside, actually, as we are leaving from Long's house) at 4:00am so we can make our best effort to avoid your lovely LA traffic. Means we should be rolling thru LA land around 5:30ish AM as long as someone isn't jumping off a bridge. blowing up a freeway, or anything the like. :smile:

You are most welcome to join us if you want sir. The more the merrier! Otherwise, if you want to leave Thursday, you are not all that far from Reggie compared to us if you want to burn it alone.

Oh, and there is a small chance that JTC is going....IF he gets the time off. He is in LA. Hopefully speed will change his mind, as I sure would like to see that shiny porsche-engined HOG!

Hope you can make it. Silversurfer800 and maybe some other folks are going to be coming down from SF area if you want to see about riding partners.

 

Hard to tell bud. Probably depends on the rest of the crew. Would love to meet ya....the more the merrier!

I can PM you my cell, incase you want an update.....not promising that I will not be riding at the time, but it is better than a stick in the eye!

 

Ok, just catching up with this thread. As far as when riding will start, everyone who wants to come in who doesn't have my cell and needs it, PM me and I'll get it to you. I will start riding when the first rider gets here and show you whatever kind of roads you like. I'll keep riding til the last rider leaves and probably ride at least part of the way with you. I'll go with what the majority wants. All 4 of the roads mentioned by SS800 are close and easy to do is a short time. Other options are continuing hwy 58 on out to pine mountain and back... or finding a back way down to solvang for the motorcycle museum... sloav8r has mentioned possibly being able to get a group onto the air force base down south to see a part of the coast seldom trolled by civilians (be aware that riding would be slow paced here for sure, though) and then taking roads out to jalama beach for burgers (this part would not be as slow paced as it's not on the base)... a tour around my local stomping grounds heading out on 41 then taking 229 then hwy 58 west into margarita the 101 to 41w then hwy 1 up to old creek road then hwy 46 e up to vineyard then across to interlake road and whp knows where from there. that route contains twists and turns of all varieties... we have comms for keeping lead and sweep in touch to keep the group more or less together or if needed we can break into smaller groups. anyway, I'm pretty flexible so I can pretty much come up with a route based on what kind of ride everyone wants and what time frame they'd like to eat and drink... It would probably be a good deal to try and get at least one group shot of all the bikes somewhere fairly scenic like on the beach or something... we'll figure it out...

 

Sounds good Reg. I was gonna ask you about some other roads south of you, and north of you as well. I might be giving you a call soon about that. It would be nice to have a good long all-day ride where we could make multiple stops, have some lunch, and make it back to your casa for beer-thirty! Kinda like a big loop if you will. Riding up to Big Sur, like you mentioned sounds good as well.

Don't forget to order the




Oh, and ANYBODY who is going, or thinks they are going, please note as such on this thread so I can add you to the list on the opening post. My psychic ability is waning :wacko:, so if you don't tell me directly that you are going, or are going to try to go, I really won't know about you going, or will I? Who's on first, what's on second.......

SPEAK UP PEOPLE!
