Well, of course he's lying, he's just fishing for a compliment on his riding abilities. But I'm not gonna give it to him, he's already got a big enough head, being Prez and all.lorazepam said:Hey I will come out if you can work me in!! You globe trotters are so busy having fun I just didnt want to slow ya down. Kbasa said I couldnt keep up with you on the bikes no matter what you ride
And anyway, the /2 has new brake linings on the front and I can brake way later into the turns now! Like, right up to about 50 feet before the turn in.
Anyway, if you want to borrow one of my bikes, you're welcome to it. All of them have saddlebags of some sort, but you'll need your own camping equipment. Just let me know when you're arriving at SJC.
BTW, does Sears even sell ponchos anymore?

The RRS is in bad need of a master cylinder these days, so it's been, well, resting.
As far as the 21st weekend goes, I'll have just arrived home after being gone a solid week. Not sure how that'll play with you know who, so don't wait for me.
Where are you thinking of having it? Or do you need thoughts about where to have it? There's a decent state park just outside Philo that is in a redwood grove and is about 5 or 10 miles inland and out of the fog.

You will make it out for at least one night. After that time away from home for work, you'll need a nice relaxing ride and BS session.
As for where, we need some ideas. I think I know the state park you're talking of. I stayed there some years back, IIRC.

I've been trying to make it to Hwy 36 for 4 years now. I've been every where in California except there.

Posted on the NorCal Sportbike Club Page:
"I think I can say, Hwy 36w might be one of the best sportbike roads anywhere. It has every imaginable type of corner and plenty of them. It begins at valley level and climbs through some of the most beautiful mountains (not that you'll have time to see them), it is 4 hours of road, and it ends at the Pacific Ocean.
This is an "Oh my God, go tell the folks" road.

They are - crap now this place is going to the dogs as well.
I don't care if knary invites the Warlocks as long as they bring plenty of meth and mushrooms.

At least the reading of the minutes would be interesting - we can make GDog Secretary to add a little flair.

That ship has sailed
It is a little late to worry about that
36 has patches of rough pavement but it is pretty sweet. Here is a link to Grizzly Ck SP http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=421
and Prarie Creek SP http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=415
and Patricks point http://www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=417
Patricks is near 299, Grizzley is on 36 and Prarie is near a gravel road that links to 299 near Hoopa. (I did this dirt road on my Euro Virago back in the day)
I am in for the 21 through the 24.
