Edited March 13, 2015 by BrianF Good to have you back and whole.
You're killing me with those State of Alone reports what with my bike being down (hopefully a new stator will fix it).
I'd like to do some camping along those roads....haven't managed the succinct thing yet but...
Apr 04-05 ??.......Easter Weekend
Apr 10-11 ok.. ... probably still working on taxes...I hope not
Apr 18-19 bad.....central coast ride with southbayriders
Apr 25-26 ok.......possibly doing or being repaired
May 02-03 good
I will be in the Central Cal area the weekend of the 25th, maybe again during memorial day weekend. Not sure I can do 3 "spring flings" in a row. Would love to do another Sierra or similar event around the same time as last year, that I think I can manage. Yeah good to have you back and able to ride again.
Like last year, I would like to meet up with you on the way back through Mendocino. Dates are pretty open only booked for easter.
25th weekend looks like the leader right now -- though dadofseven and I are talking about doing a trackday at Thunderhill on the 24th. Imagine me dragging a knee with the V35s on and a tent strapped to the pillion.
I suppose we could push to early May if that works better.
Also definitely planning on doing the Golden State Gathering again this year -- and actually attending. Hopefully can get it on the calendar early so a whole army of people can come along.
Aw s--t we got TJ in this beeotch. Possibility of poison oak just increased ten-fold. :goofy:
im in anytime after the 17th of April, except the track day on the 24th and i have a military event on the 25th...
How would May 2nd & 3rd work for everyone?
I still need to do my GD taxes too.
The Google Map link doesn't work for me so I can't see the route.
I think I broke my Google while porn surfing.
Still in.
Tj.
Edited March 6, 2015 by tjclyde 5/2-3 still works for me but not the map link.
Gotta stay away from the porn Ed.
It'll break the Google I tell ya.
I think I'm ok, none of the maps would work if that was it.
I put some test maps over in a May thread to test with.
#14 BrianF Thread starter 6 Mar 2015 06:17 No idea what's up with the porn or the maps.
Changed to Yahoo for the maps in post 1, should be better.
Not sure what to do about the porn. "The Google" lol
Just realized that weekend I'm doing a dualsport ride in Yosemite.
Bummer.
Heyyyy!! I was wondering if the group was going to get together this year!!
Count me in. :cheerleader:
#17 BrianF Thread starter 9 Mar 2015 15:50 So we gain TC but we lose TJ. Huh.
Ah crap. You already lost TC now. Just remembered I'm going to the Booneville Beer Festival with the girlfriend on the 2nd.
#19 BrianF Thread starter 9 Mar 2015 21:30 tc339 Ah crap. You already lost TC now. Just remembered I'm going to the Booneville Beer Festival with the girlfriend on the 2nd.
This is unacceptable.
Not missing the ride I mean, but having a girlfriend. How dare you.
Shall we pursue alternate dates then? May 9th and 10th?
Well, Secret girlfriend... She's my supervisor sooo we are keeping that on the DL. :goofy:
Whatever works best for everyone else. if you change the date and I can go, awesome. If not, I'll hit the next one!
May 2-3 is good for me....
#22 BrianF Thread starter 9 Mar 2015 22:55 dadofseven May 2-3 is good for me....
Just out of curiosity, what about May 9th and 10th?
I could do that weekend. I've had the 2nd-3rd
Booked for almost half a year.
Tj.
Yep, That'll work for me as well!
I'm a maybe... I'll have to see how this work stuff sorts out... Currently working 7 days a week until this crap is over (Strike) Fucking Union's... :mad: And they're making me take all this money home too... :goofy: I see a new KTM SuperAdventure in my future too.
#27 BrianF Thread starter 10 Mar 2015 05:05 May 9th and 10th it is. Sorry dadofseven...I'm only the judge, not the jury.
crazybrother I see a new KTM SuperAdventure in my future too.
I swear, in a couple years we're not going to be able to coordinate these rides on VFRD because no one will have an f'ing VFR!
Edited March 10, 2015 by BrianF Oh no, i'm going to try and keep the FAT girl too... Adding to the stable... :unsure:
9-10 can work drill for May has changed to 2-3.....so I have to check the work schedule in the morning, and I will let you know.
I can't make May 10 - next trip.
#31 BrianF Thread starter 13 Mar 2015 16:38 dadofseven 9-10 can work drill for May has changed to 2-3.....so I have to check the work schedule in the morning, and I will let you know.
Perfect, good to hear. Lemme know when you're in for sure.
jlpvfr I can't make May 10 - next trip.
Bummer. There will be more.
I def would like to do another Kings Canyon/Sequoia NP ride again this year.
#33 BrianF Thread starter 13 Mar 2015 17:11 tc339 I def would like to do another Kings Canyon/Sequoia NP ride again this year.
Planning to do that for the Golden State Gathering since it's mostly Bay Area and SoCal guys. Maybe basecamp in Kernville or Three Rivers.
Once my work schedule calms down (which it never will) I'll put together the details. Probably will aim for late September again.
Oh and I still owe you that Wentworth Springs video. Not sure why that just popped into my head.
#34 BrianF Thread starter 24 Apr 2015 18:29 Hey weirdos, my schedule is getting out of control and I'm giving some thought to cancelling this one or switching it to the "Day Ride-Rolling Thund3R Review Hits Silicon Valley..twice" on the 9th.
My rear tire is bald after the last day ride, and I'm just back from Philly today, with trips to Louisiana and Oregon the next two weeks. I ordered a new tire but I have no idea when I'll be able to get it put on. My flight back from Portland on the 8th is at 8:45pm for gods sake.
You guys can always go on without me too, though I really want to do this ride I'm just not sure it's feasible. Thoughts?
no worries if you switch...the 1 day would be a better match for my front which has 200-300 miles left.
#36 BrianF Thread starter 25 Apr 2015 23:32 ecn no worries if you switch...the 1 day would be a better match for my front which has 200-300 miles left.
Cool. I think that's gonna be the plan. Reality is I probably can't make the day-ride either, but we'll see.
We can do this ride down the road when your not so busy.
Tj.
