  1. Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA 28 Jun 2016 03:56 38 minutes ago, RC1237V I will leave early (5am), going down highway 1, and up 46, hit Rossi's driveway (CA229) then 58 to 178 to Kernville. I was going to switch up the route this year, but it was so much fun, and…
  2. 7-Day Central CA Ride - September-ish 2016 25 Jun 2016 01:34 Having a PBR on Prewitt Ridge at sunset has been on my bucket list for a couple of years. NF west side does require caution re debris but my favorite part is the run from Hunter Liggett to the base of the east side.…
  3. Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA 20 Jun 2016 20:19 In some more .... for the Sep 12,13 extension to prewitt ridge via Hiway 25, Carmel Valley.
  4. OOooooerr... Something's happened 14 Jun 2016 20:41 Hmm...domestic slaves are obligated to not get bored or be boring so giving up the bike may interfere with your duties. It's hard to put out quality stuff when you're missing key things that make you whole. Best wishes…
  5. 7-Day Central CA Ride - September-ish 2016 14 Jun 2016 19:10 There is a nice Mines Road section in "Rolling Thunder Hits Silicon Valley" thread. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zMft-Gviqssc.kBryBZk9cGuU It runs from 580 / Livermore to San Jose ...probably similar to the SC…
  6. Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA 14 Jun 2016 00:35 In. Sort of a sidebar but if Mike treated this as his day 3 and 4, it would fit nice with his day 5 and 6.
  7. 7-Day Central CA Ride - September-ish 2016 12 Jun 2016 17:18 Looks good. I'd probably drop off after day 6 rather than head further south again but please pencil me in. No need to change anything but since you asked for input there's some gems within range of Nacimiento-Fergusson…
  8. Where Are The SoCal Rides? 10 Jun 2016 22:06 An annual Death Valley area camping tour might be a nice tradition to start.
  9. Honda N600-VFR800 6 Jun 2016 21:57 It sold last week for $20K http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-honda-n600/ It is a true sleeper, the autocross clip verbiage indicated it narrowly lost to an old school shelby cobra by 1/10 second.
  10. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 6 Jun 2016 05:41 6 hours ago, crazybrother It was 85 in a 65... And no ticket! Troy owes me dinner. Because that would have cost him at least $300. Remember I've got the "get out of jail " card. Same place as last time?
  11. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 5 Jun 2016 06:04 Home safe and sound (571 miles). Thanks for clearing the flack Troy and George! Very fun ride. Nice to meet you Jim...go sharks.
  12. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 3 Jun 2016 12:03 8 6 hours ago, tjclyde Sure thing dude! Can we meet at 8:00? That way I can get to Starbux early enough to have a coffee a doughnut and a dump before hitting the road. :mad: <------- That's my poo face emoji. Tj. Good…
  13. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 3 Jun 2016 03:35 TJ, can we switch the meetup to the Shell at 6750 Santa Rita Rd, Pleasanton?
  14. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 1 Jun 2016 05:56 4 hours ago, tjclyde Ed I'll meet you at the Shell station. And remember to bring some cash guys, just in case we run into another gas station that doesn't take atm or credit cards "Topaz Lake". Tj. See you then Troy.
  15. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 1 Jun 2016 00:10 no worries, I'll see you in Manteca.
  16. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 31 May 2016 21:37 May I propose you pick up South Bay Riders 8:15 at the Shell Gas - 809 E Stanley Blvd, Livermore, CA 94550

  21. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 18 May 2016 01:00 Hope for the best...a sprinkle to keep the dust and crowds minimized and a view of a thunder storm sunset atop 3300 cliff overlooking Big Sur.
  22. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 17 May 2016 19:01 These aren't the best roads for rain...probably best to wait a week if that happens...fingers crossed for now.
  23. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 16 May 2016 20:56 Anything is possible given whatever folks want to do.
  24. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 16 May 2016 18:39 I'd like to try this again...how's next week sound?
  25. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 15 May 2016 20:29 There are others but Carmel Valley and Nacimiento-Fergusson Roads belong on the list. Carmel Valley Road from the coast to 101 (near Greenville) , head south to Jolon Rd turnoff and take Nacimiento-Fergusson back the…

  28. May 7Th Bay Area Roll Call Ride - Fact Or Fiction? 18 Apr 2016 22:03 Is that Road House brisket I smell? In
  29. Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2016 18 Mar 2016 19:39 I already have a couple of wasp badges on the bike so some stickers to cover them would be cool...I'll try to make it for the May 7 but can't commit for April till after the 15th. You want to try some of those Bay Area…
  30. T. D. R. 2 - Another Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Photo Journal 10 Mar 2016 18:31 Thanks for this Brian..nice bucket list preview.
  31. Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2016 3 Mar 2016 02:06 I like it.
  32. Time To Say Goodbye... 27 Jan 2016 16:51 Sounds like fun and totally understandable. The VFR struggles a bit when the pavement ends but there are so many nice places to check out. Does this mean you'll be looking into cushy camping gear as well?
  33. Burnout In The Drive-Thru 22 Dec 2015 01:37 Nothing quite like the smell of burnt rubber and redwoods eh? Seasons greetings Brian and weirdo bros. I remember that ride..you were figuring out possible approach angles for parking in a hollow tree. Thanks for the…
  34. Day Ride #4 Topaz Lake July 25 1 Aug 2015 01:19 Mosquito Ridge coming back from French Meadows with camera placement at last chance always struck me as the coolest place for a 5G sound quality test.

  36. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 10 Jun 2015 21:10 Please see 1st posting...I broke my bike and will not likely be able to repair before 6/20.
  37. Bay Area / Norcal Day Ride - Mosquito & Wentworth, 6/6 8 Jun 2015 16:34 Amazing pics of the weather....bunch of clouds circling overhead waiting to dump. The road looks like it turns into a river on the fourth from last pic...very cool.
  38. Bay Area / Norcal Day Ride - Mosquito & Wentworth, 6/6 7 Jun 2015 03:43 Thanks for pulling this together Brian...just what the doc ordered.
  39. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 25 May 2015 14:38 I'd still like to do this.
  40.

Back way to get to McKean coming back from Lick is to take South White to San Felipe (heavily patrolled) to Metcalf to…
  44. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 4 May 2015 01:20 changed to June (see 1st Posting). Do I need to start a new thread to change title?
  45. Day Ride-Rolling Thund3R Review Hits Silicon Valley..twice. 28 Apr 2015 18:46 in for 5/9
  46. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 28 Apr 2015 14:14 Color me flexible Troy... Pick a Saturday in June for a day 1 with return to Monterey enhancement. If the original dates gets moved, that will be first choice and/or we just do an Old Man Greg type repeat in June.
  47. Bay Area / Norcal Spring Overnighter 2015 - May 9Th & 10Th 25 Apr 2015 00:58 no worries if you switch...the 1 day would be a better match for my front which has 200-300 miles left.

  49. Sf Bay Area Must Do Rides 21 Apr 2015 04:04 This is probably a bit more south than you had in mind but: http://goo.gl/iBVf6b There are some true goat trails near Hazel Dell (Highland and Eureka Canyon)
  50. California Coastal Highway Question 3 Apr 2015 21:11 Big Sur to Carmel and San Francisco have heavy tourist traffic on weekends after 8 am. If you go through San Francisco during the week, you can avoid the worst of the traffic between 10am and 2pm. An alternate route…
