Weather looks good for Sunday! I was thinking about riding to Davis and puttering around Berryessa. I'm coming from SF.

Sadly, I was up in at home in Fairfield all weekend :(

Just to throw it in here, I'm also a Norcal GS owner. I live out in Fremont, which is pretty close to the OP.

Also on BARF. Guess my username.

Also in Bay Area.  San Rafael.  I'm down for riding somewhere.  You can only run Lucas Valley so many times.

Hey all. I just came across this thread. I dont know where ive been this whole time. Anyhoo, Im in Hayward right on the CV border and always looking for folks to ride with. Im a bit of a noob so Im still taking Redwood pretty easy, but Im working on it. I just picked up a GSXR to complement my 500 but am gonna try to keep her away from the twisties until I am more comfortable. In the meantime, I'll be taking the GS through redwood and the like. I hope to see you guys out there!

Also on BARF. But I mostly lurk.

You let me know if you need anyone to exercise your Gixxer for ya, jsspuler...yanno...just out of the goodness of my heart 'n' all....  ;)

Thats awfully kind of you! But actually the GS has been the one neglected as of late. Still trying to ride the GS at least once a week to keep her happy but its getting harder and harder when the GSXR is just sitting there lookin all purrty...

Also in Bay Area. I live in Sonoma but work mainly in Santa Rosa. Definitely would be up for a ride sometime with some other GS owners.

Welcome!

Come out for the Doc Wong clinics (they're free!), next one is Oct 24th.  They're posted on BayAreaRidersForum.com under Training once a month.

Couldn't fix the GS in time and the Virago had a bald front tire.  Will definitely be there Nov 21st.

Started with a group of 6. It was sunny half of the ride. The roads were wet, with fresh piles of red pine needles here and there; perfect for practicing the topic; only slipped a little, once. Rained here and there. Got cold at the finish where there was still snow on the sides of seaside 9. Finished with 4 very happy and more experienced riders!

The other two just went home early.

Next month's ride is Dec 19th.

Tar snakes were slippery too, but avoidable; just had to adjust your line through the turn.
