The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

I should be able to make it to the July 1st ride.  As long as we don't do Tunitas Creek Rd I'm cool with anything!   :laugh:

Which Starbucks are you guys referring to?

Sounds good.  No chance of any finals or homework during the summer   :)

I'm moving to Mountain View.  Near 237 and El Camino.  5-bedroom, but no garage.  :cry:

It sounds like it could be a fun ride!  With my work and friend schedule the way it is currently I couldn't tell you what I'll be doing this weekend let alone 3 weeks from now :cookoo:

I haven't been riding much lately, I think my forced bike commuting during school really burned up my enthusiasm for riding.  I'm working myself back into it though and finding myself enjoying it again.  Lately I've been into turning my Toyota into a trail truck/rock-crawler and working on a solid axle conversion (also bought a MIG welder  :thumb:).  I'll be getting my 2nd tattoo outlined this week so I'm pretty stoked on that  :icon_mrgreen:

I hate to sound wishy washy about it but I'll know where my head is at as it gets closer to July 1st

btw thanks for the heads up pandy  :thumb:

I got my tattoo done  :icon_mrgreen:
It needs to heal a bit before the color can go on but I'm pretty damn happy with it so far.  I've got pictures of it up on my myspace page (from my homepage link)

I'm still in the honeymoon phase going 'dang this looks nuts' whenever I glance at it  :laugh:

Didn't I already update the first post?  If I haven't, what am I supposed to change?

Andy - I still have that clutch adjuster for you.

#36
AOOOooohhh!

Up 9, across 35, down 84 (towards 1), to Pescadero, to 1, up Bonnie Doon, straight onto Empire/Felton to Felton (through the forest of Endor), left onto 9, to the top @ four corners.

Y'know...the loop.

We could include going down Page Mill and then back up it, to break up the monotony of 35.  Actually, now that I think of it we will do that.

I would love to come, but I'm out of town that weekend.

Also, a couple suggestions for the route if you don't want to spend too much time on 1. First, take Cloverdale off of Pescadero and cut down to 1 at Gazos Creek. Second, take Swanton off and back onto 1. It looks like a pretty greate route all and all, especially Pescadero. I love that road.
There are only 10 types of people in this world - those who understand binary and those who don't

Awww...sorry you can't make it, brett  :cry: (and that I forgot your name on the list!  :cookoo:)

P.S. If there are any n00bs out there who are afraid to join because you think you might be too slow, don't EVEN be worried about that. Ya' see, we all *pretend* that I'm riding with the group, but I'm so far behind everyone that I really have my own group...the SLOW group....so come join us!  :laugh:
