Oh no! :o

I just found out about the accident, Pandy! (I don't read the Odds & Ends section much. :oops: )

Lots of good recovery vibes to you! :kiss3: And let's keep in touch about the 22nd; I might just drag my ass up that early to ride in the company of a  :bowdown: "big, mean, rough, tough biker chick." :laugh:

Sounds good! :thumb:

Whereabouts in Salinas are you going for the fender repair? It's my hometown, of sorts (junior high and high school). :)

I'll have to find  out the address so that I can Mapquest it; I'll let you know as soon as I know. A guide would be even better than Mapquest. ;)

I get lost more often than I pandy my bike....  :oops:  :icon_lol:

Bob, what time do you think we'll wrap up? Maybe I should see if I can get the fender work done after our ride... My boy's ridable...he's just a little ugly at the moment....

We"ll probably finish up around 2:00 or so. Depending on how many breaks we take :icon_mrgreen:

I can do any repairs you need at my house. I have almost every tool or piece of equipment you could ever need :) :thumb:

We'll try bending it back a little first. Not sure if it's aluminum or not. If it's steel we can straighten for sure. :thumb:
I'd just take the fender off. It's not necessary for a track day anyhoo. :flipoff:
I've never run one on my racebike :laugh:
Maybe you can snag a good one off ebay later :dunno_white:

Are we doing a wrenching session before/after the ride? Does this mean I should bring my progressives to install?  :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen: :laugh: :laugh:

Pandy, let me know if you have an adjusted departure time in light of this new maintenance schedule? ;) I'd love to ride down with you!  :thumb: :thumb:

Medical complications... I'm playing things day-by-day at the moment. I've had to postpone my track day.  :bs: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hopefully I'll still be able to make it if the infection hasn't turned me into (more of) a raving lunatic (than normal).  :bs:

Keep us updated and just know that you'll have a riding buddy down to Salinas if you feel up to it.  :thumb: :thumb:

I'm still in.  I'll be sure to catch up to Pandy and Pronator on the 101/Lawrence onramp, or after the Lawrence onramp onto 101 (kinda like the Veteran's Welcome Home ride, Pandy?).

Hey Scratch, I'll assume Pandy knows where to meet up with you near Lawrence. I'll be the yellow GS trailing behind her.  ;)

Pandy, do you want to meet up with me at the Shell Gas Station right off of Embarcadero West on 101?

Sanjay, are you going to join the caravan or will we meet up with you at Bob's?

Bob, I don't need to get my progressives in before the ride (or even after if there's no time, but I'll bring 'em just in case).  :thumb:

Must. Stop. Playing. With. Text. Colors!!  :laugh:

Can I have your stock springs and spacers?

Hey Scratch,

When I get the progressives in, let me ride on them for a couple weeks to make sure they're right for me. Once I know I'm not going back to stock, they're all yours!  :thumb:
