Now that is total BS, I was going to come with you but now that I know you discriminate against those less fortunate than you, I will be passing. Just because my buddy lives in a trailer doesn't mean he is any less a person. Plus he has a face only his mother could love, see here is his pic

No really looks like a sweet ride, have a great time and be careful. Get lots of pics for all of us less fortunate!!

The TRAILER TRASH that I was referring to is only directed towards those individuals that deem it necessary to TRAILER their bikes to Laguna Seca :roll: .

And to quote the good Doctor (not Rossi) Hunter S. Thompson:


"Balls," I said. "Never mind the track. The track is for punks. We are Road People. We are Cafe Racers."

The Cafe Racer is a different breed, and we have our own situations. Pure speed in sixth gear on a 5000-foot straightaway is one thing, but pure speed in third gear on a gravel-strewn downhill ess-turn is quite another.

But we like it. A thoroughbred Cafe Racer will ride all night through a fog storm in freeway traffic to put himself into what somebody told him was the ugliest and tightest decreasing-radius turn since Genghis Khan invented the corkscrew.

Cafe Racing is mainly a matter of taste. It is an atavistic mentality, a peculiar mix of low style, high speed, pure dumbness, and overweening commitment to the Cafe Life and all its dangerous pleasures... I am a Cafe Racer myself, on some days - and it is one of my finest addictions.



Clarified? :twisted:

Whewwww! Glad I'm not trailering and just truckin' it for my near one month stint in cali for laguna! But poor "sprtbkbabe" though! She's gotta haul the dog and kiddo's, trailer the bike and I gotta haul a few things back w/ me. Sounds like a kickin' ride though Nick, never did more than 700 miles in one sitting and had to stop when I reached our cabin in Mammoth Lakes. Oh yeah, poor poor Rick T, I think he's gonna trailer it too. Maybe you can un-trailer trash 'em ????? We'd ride but most of us have an agenda that wouldn't be logical to having just a bike. ;)

Cheap trip not bad. I spent $260 just in gas in my truck. That is a LONG drive....... Did you get ur M-80's? The indian reservation about 45 minutes north of vegas sell the goodies all year round. I drop some major cash there.
