Actually it'd be the 4th Annual B.A.GS ride...which usually happens in August.
But, Rich's memorial ride is to be held in June of every year, we just need to set a date.
I know this is short notice, but the only days I have available are the 1st or the 8th (of June); both are Sundays.
Route is currently open to suggestions.
I linky this discussion: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=40539.0
But, please reply to this thread for Rich's ride on either the 1st or the 8th.
I'm in for either the 1st or 8th! 1st sounds good, cuz then it comes sooner!!! :icon_mrgreen:
Just not the weekend before my first track day, which is June 24th... :icon_lol:
Frontside & backside of 9? Pescadero? Page Mill rocks! Any route sounds good! Bring it all on!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
That's right, I forgot about the frontside of 9, it's a wonderful road, I know it like the back of my hand, up and down! If we included that in the ride, it would be after four corners, essensially at the end of the ride. But, once in town, there's a parking lot on the right that we could pull into, loop around, and then go back up 9 and across 35 for an early dinner at Alice's. Hmmm....
There's also old San Jose road if we wanted to be different and go toward Santa Cruz that way.... I just road it for the first time last weekend, and it was fun...and gorgeous! :icon_mrgreen:
P.S. I hope Bob can make it! I'd love to glue myself to his butt. I'm up for the challenge now!
P.P.S. And if Bob has a ride up north, I'm absolutely, positively *IN*. Of course you in, too, aren't you scratch and sanjay?? :icon_mrgreen:
Absolutely.

Just a reminder of what an exciting ride we had last year! :laugh:

Either date works for me! Sorry for not posting about it sooner, Scratch. I've been busy tracking down a carb issue (idles fine, dies when given throttle) and helping my buddy with his first bike (2006 GS that we're converting to naked, woo).
I'm in :thumb:
Just pinpoint the date.
I'll make sure I have something to ride If my GS isn't together.
Gotta swap motors before the ride.
WoooHooo!!!! scratch and I talked about it at SCC's Sportbike Night this past Wednesday, and it's going to be June 1st! :icon_mrgreen:
OK :cheers:
Where do we meet and what time :dunno_white: :icon_mrgreen:
Is 'Four Corners' at 9am allright? We'll go across 35 to Alice's, maybe stop, then head down 84 towards La Honda.
Hows about 9:30ish :o
That way I can leave my house at 8:00 am to get there around that time :icon_mrgreen:
I could use your cell # in case I have a problem on the way :dunno_white:
Bob's going to be there?! :o Oh, I'm gonna try very, very hard to make this ride. I have one of Bob's ignition advancers in my bike! :bowdown: And we graduated from the same high school...though a few years apart. :laugh:
I hope I'll get to meet and ride with you guys!
If anyone wants to meet at the Saratoga 76 station and take 9 up to 4-corners, I'd meet 'em! :icon_mrgreen:
So, is this route we'll be taking? ("the loop" based on discussions here: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=40539.0)

Sorry for the long linky. I don't know how to embed. :oops:
That looks like an awesome route! You're hired! ;) :icon_mrgreen:
Hope you'll be able to join us, pronator! If so, let me know, and I'll be happy to meet you around 101/wherever and go up to Alice's with ya'!
I still think I'm gonna park across the street at STP, though....cuz I just KNOW I'll pandy my bike if I try to park in front of Alice's..... :oops: :cookoo: :mad: :laugh:
My new cell # that I can't remember: 408-230-2048
9:30am it is! That's at the top of 9 and 35, again.
Pandy, I actually prefer parking across the street from Alice's as well; there's more room, too. Also, I can meet you at the bottom of 9 at the 76 station as well. But, you're coming from up north, wouldn't it be easier if you came up Woodside, and met us at Alice's?
Pronator - Yep, that's the route! Hope I'll see you there! Note: if I miss Ice Cream Grade, we can always take a right at the top of Pine Flat onto Empire and make a left onto Felton Grade (which we've done before). But, Ice Cream Grade would be a safer route and prevent us from loosing anybody.

Actually, yeah, I'll meet y'all up at 4-corners @ 9:30am since the ride starts so early! :p :laugh:
Are we meeting and breakfasting, or are we eating first and then meeting and riding immediately?
We meet. :thumb: We ride. ;) We eat. :cheers: We ride. :icon_mrgreen: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Fixed! :laugh: :icon_mrgreen: :kiss3:
Pandy - Do you mean you are going to meet us in the STP parking lot across from Alice's? Because, 'Four corners' is at the top of Hwy's 9 and 35; in which case it's: meet :), ride :icon_twisted:, eat :thumb:, ride O0.

I'm meeting you at 4-corners at 9:30AM. :icon_mrgreen: I actually know my way now! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :thumb:
I'll probably stop at FC *$ on my way..and then I might stop for MORE coffee at Alice's (my name is pandy, and I'm a coffeeholic), but then I'll meet you up at 4-corners (maybe the hot-dog vendor has coffee?? :cookoo: :laugh:).
Sooo.... I'll snack first before I... meet :), ride :icon_twisted: :kiss3:, eat :thumb:, ride! :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen:
Hot Dog vendor doesn't usually get up there this early in the morning...had my oatmeal and a multi-vitamin... :)
I wish I was in CA so I could make this ride! Have a fun and safe ride all! :thumb:

It was WONDERFUL riding with you, Bob & scratch, and wonderful to see you again, sanjay. It was a gorgeous day...chilly at times...sunny at others. The roads were FILLED with.......COPS LOL! EEeeek! So...of course....the gents were on their best behaviour, so I was able to learn some of their lines. ;) I could almost keep up with them even when they were having some innocent fun! :icon_twisted: er..I mean.. (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a146/pandyz/angel.gif)
And...after TWO YEARS...(give or take)....TWO YEARS...or whatever it was...a really, REALLY long time..... at the very LAST second of the ride...pulling into the last parking place.... I pandy's him ??? :o :cry: :laugh: :cookoo: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Rider wasn't injured; bike only has a blinker broken.....pride goeth before a fall...I was doing so well out there, dammit! :laugh:
Oh, I'm so sorry I missed you all for what sounds like a wonderful time. I actually ended up getting sick and not going to SF (or anywhere), but bed. :cry:
On the bright side, it meant I was forced to stay home and write up the info on my homemade luggage rack. If I couldn't be on my bike, at least I could write about it! :laugh: The pictures were taken a couple weeks ago so it was nice to finally put it together. Coming to a GStwin forum near you! :thumb:
I look forward to getting on the road with you guys soon! :)
So where are the photos?! :icon_mrgreen:
Too busy riding :laugh:
No time for pics ;)
