Because as soon as you're done with one, you plan the next one.

This will be a half-a-Friday slab from the Bay Area to roughly Bakersfield, followed by strafing of all worthy roads in the southern Sierra Nevada. As with the last ride, I am going to 3-day this (3.5 if you count Friday), so my map looks long. I assume 2-day riders would bail out at point M. I don't think this will really accommodate single-day riders. Sorry.

This is in the planning stages, mark your calendars but stay tuned for more details.

So far I think we have:

I'm off the 7th but work the 8th, let me see if I can get that day off and let you know.


#3

I'll just got the 6th and 9th off, so it's a go for 3.5 days.


#4

Very interested in this If a SoCal guy can join.  Right now I wouldn't be able to make this because of work, but my schedule is subject to change.  I'll be watching this thread for sure.

Of course, anyone's welcome, the more the merrier.

Would you rather camp or hotel? I'm fine with either, but I think I may go all hotels this time.

All hotels would work for me as well.

I'm interested in doing this ride. I could make Bakersfeild Friday night from LonBeach no problem. I have to see about the time off from work and wifes feelings on the subject. I'll be checking back as I know more and to check out the routes. Usually do a similar type ride with friends in the Yosemite or Sequois areas that time of year.

You're only allowed to come if you bring the Tuono... :warranty:


#9

Thinking about it. I could meet the group near Lake Isabella and split at 89 (just before "P") over to 395 (near Lake Topaz) and back south -- yeah that's it.

Any ideas as to where we'll stop Satarday night?
Trying to get an idea which campground...I mean hotel I'm going to stay at.

I googled "hotel with poison oak" but got no results.

I figure in this general area http://goo.gl/maps/Mkg8M, if there isn't much we can always head closer to Fresno (and score some meth as a bonus).

Hard to say though, there isn't much in the middle of the route, and either Saturday or Sunday will probably have to be quite long. Could extend day 1, i.e. go all the way to Kernville.

I always prefer camping, I just don't wanna carry all that stuff again.

Dude, that was hella funny!
I laughed so hard I shit. Luckily I was sitting on the can at the time.......seriously.
#13
I think you're on to something there Brian. Before you start rolling your eyes, hear me out.
We could do to Sport touring like what Evelyn Wood did for reading.

Screw Bakersfield. Lets meet in Fresno and get some speed. There will be about what? 4-6 of us?.....cool.
So I say we get one....maybe two pounds of the stuff. (Should be enough...right?) and do it right there on the spot.
Done!

Then we continue on down to Bakersfield to start the route.
Now that we won't have to worry about where to sleep or what were going to eat,I figure that we should be able to do the whole 3.5 day ride in about.......mmmmm......three to five hours,give or take an hour or so for a roadside engine re-build to "fix that wierd sound" coming from Tc's bike.

Shit! If we really hurry it up, I could be back in my driveway tearing apart my transmission by 3:00 AM Satarday morning.
Dude! This could be EPIC!
So efin stoked right now!

Heading to the bathroom for a cardboard toilet paper tube, and then off to the kitchen to round up that five pound bag of baking flour.
Gotta start training for the trip.

HAHAHA dude you are out of control. I'm in.


#15

This is getting out of hand... again... :goofy:  It's going to be 15 pages before we even go...


#16
I wonder how many people who were interested in the rides posted previously, had second thoughts after reading my posts?
Our posts....what ever.

My posts probably. Lol.

I would think....WTF?.......Uhhhh....never mind, I'm out.

But realy.....I'm Ok....really....TJs ok....my therapist and parole officer say so...

I'm having second thoughts after reading your posts.

They're probably so disappointed when they actually meet us.

Don't be a buzz kill!
I'm working seven days a week right now. Some days and nights. This is my only outlet.
Wow...kind of sad really.

Yea, no shit!
I'd say that we're still the coolest people I know.
I'm lucky though to hang with such awesome people. All bullshit aside.

Dude you are hilarious!
#19

You had me at "meth".  I've always wanted to ride the area, but never the chance.

I know most of you had ridden together before.  When you get rooms, does everyone get their own?  Do you all pair up?  Everyone crash in one room?


#20

We pair up since we all know each other by now. I'm usually good to clear out someone's wallet while they're sleeping, but nothing creepy. Not sure what everyone else is up to haha

Inappropriate jokes will be made at everyone's expense, as per usual.


#21
I would assume the sleeping arrangements will be dick to butt for some.
You'll have to figure out who's top and who's bottom. Lol. (God I'm retarded).
I prefer to sleep on my own,as I like to wake up knowing that the dick in my hand is my own.
I surprise myself sometimes at the depth of my stupidity.

Can't say you weren't warned.

Clock's ticking on that post getting reported!

I like a new guy who posts....."you had me at meth" lol.
Right on dude. What an ice breaker.

If that post gets reported and removed, I'll just have to move over to ADV.
This is all in good fun.

At the expense of others of course.

It is rare,that someone will say something to me that I can not respond to off the cuff.
Your question was that rarity.
I vote that you bunk with Brian. He's the most Progresive minded chap out of our bunch.
Cheers!

Don't tell me I overstepped the bounds of someone that wanted to get speed from Fresno.  Sure it's cheap, but the quality sucks.


#27

No my name is not Tony, and yes, I was well aware that it was a running joke.  I guess I had more legs than the joke did.  I have met TC and BayAreaRider, they can confirm I am no tweeker.  I'm about 40 pounds too heavy, and I like my teeth.

I do like my whiskey after a day of riding, but that is about as close as I get.


#28

Now this will make people have second thoughts!

So wait, we are or we aren't scoring meth?

I really don't want to know what you mean by that.


By the way, on a bit of a serious-ish aside, the way to know people aren't into something is if they joke about it. If for each of these rides we all rode our VFRs to the same place, smoked a pound of crack, and then went and lit nursing homes on fire, I guarantee there would be no discussion of the best brands of pipes or what type of wine bottle is best for a Molotov cocktail. 

On another note, anyone got a lighter?
