But yeah, we'd love to have ya'll down here, but Big Bear is a good 8 hours from the south bay. 

Oh.

--and do you advertise this ride on the Bay Area Riders Forum?  Do you call it BARF BAGS?  Cause that cracks me up.

I will advertise B.A.GS rides on Barf next month (It's going to be @ the Doc Wong clinic, I haven't been able to go, and I'm missing it badly).

Might make a showing to my 2nd GS ride...  had fun on the 1st one that was slated 'newbie friendly'.  Is this one also?  If not, I might have to cruise behind with Pandy.     So far, it looks like I'm open for Sunday, July 9th...  maybe I'll give a ring to the other 3 riders that came along last time as well to see if they'll join in on the fun.

That would be great!

Sorry about the "newbie freindly", I had geared my head for Bob speed. 
Not that I'm blaming him, I geared my head...

 

I thought that was pretty newb friendly 
We cruise until I go after some sporty bike types, then cruise again.

NOBODY should feel intimidated. Just ride within your comfort level. If we get spread out, we always stop to gather together again. It's all about having fun!!

If you don't have all black leathers, bring a black armband, freinds.  I'll have an extra.  Left arm.  I'm gonna print a picture of 'im, and bring it with me.

Ceekie and I will be there.

For you folks whose bikes are down, post up. I know of one or two folks that might be joining us in their cars, and everyone could always carpool to join in.

Y'know, we shouldn't ride if we are emotional.  It's still going to be a fun ride.  A fun ride for him.     

Cheer up, he's on the big highway in the sky.

Today, we're all in shock, mourning.

We'll ride to celebrate his life, his love of riding, his love of the Baby G. I think we'll get emotional at times, but I think we'll be able to ride....the major part of the shock will have worn off some.

You're right, scratch...as long as we remember that this is a memorial ride that will celebrate his life and joy in motorcycles, we should be ok.

yes.. we shouldnt get emotional. Riding a motorcycle requires concentration, its hard to do so when you cant concentrate.

I am going to try take off from work so i can do this memorial ride in my car. No bike up here yet

I hope you can make it, Manjul. 

Is it four corners we're meeting at? Anyone in San Jose want to meet up? Then we could meet up with scratch wherever at a certain time so he can lead us up to the meeting place (four corners?)? My sense of direction is....erhm..... challenging.....at times.....

Is there a map you could post up, scratch? 

Hopefully I can make the ride, but I may be out of town. If I'm here, I'm down for meeting up around San Jose and heading up to Alice's.

I'm in Santa Clara and have no idea where I am going, but I could likely find a way to meet up with you.  I'm good at following .

-k

Four corners is at the junction of hiway 9 and 35 (skyline blvd). Alice's is further north on 35 (junction 35 and 84 [Woodside]).
I'm heading north on 85 to Saratoga Rd. Then up 9 out of Saratoga to the top (35) Parking lot on left.
I'll be there by 10:00 am

This is my route: http://maps.yahoo.com/dd_result?newaddr=Tasman+dr.+and+Lawrence+expressway&taddr=Skyline+Blvd.+and+Highway+9&csz=Sunnyvale%2C+CA&country=us&tcsz=Saratoga%2C+CA&tcountry=us&terr=3005
Pick a spot not too far out of the way and I'll meet anybody there.

Actually, my route is a little different in that I take the Saratoga exit off of 85, but after reveiwing my route I could take Lawrence Expwy to Saratoga and meet people at the Westgate mall near there.  OR, I can meet people anywhere along the way...pick up one here, then another there, like a mountain lion picking up her cubs to take to a new den...

Allright, potential meeting place suggestions: going down Lawrence, there is a Chevron on the NW corner @ E Duane.
Starbucks on the NW corner @ El Camino.
Fast-forward to the 76 station @ the begining of 9, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale-Saratoga.

Bob - if you really wanted to have some fun - take the Summit Rd. exit, turn left onto Summit Rd., take the first right continuing on Summit/35, a left onto Bear Creek breifly, and then right onto Skyline/35.  I've done it once before, last year, it's tight and twisty; and that's the only direction that I'd take it, as it's narrow.

Guys, I'd like to come along.  With the bike down, however, I'd have to carpool with someone.  Is anyone going to cage over?  I don't have a car. 

scratch:

Pick a place and time that's convenient for you, and we'll be there.

Wild: I know TheGoodGuy is going to try to make it. What about you, GeeP?

Wish I knew how to ride with a pillion on back!

True, plus I weigh ~200 lb so we might pull an automatic wheelie if I rode on the back!

One note: This route does not have us going to Alice's this month, but I could take you to Alice's after the ride (mmm...dinner...), or we could end the ride at Alice's (we'd still be taking Old San Jose/Soquel Rd. down south towards Santa Cruz, but double back, take the route that I gave to Bob, and continue to Alice's  ).

The World Cup final is at 11am!  Argh.  I suppose I'll tape it and join the ride, since my bike is now working and I've been itching to join a BAGS ride
