FOG Spring Ride.

[Sortarican]

EDIT: 5/16/2008
Bummer, Looks like we're going to postpone this till after Memorial Day weekend due to so many scheduling conflicts.
I'll start a new thread and PM some of you next week sometime and we'll see what works for most people.


So whatcha all think about putting together a FOG ride later this spring?
I vote for the Northern canyon tour...pre Memorial Day.

[Nick_Ninja]

The northern canyon would be the Pouder.

[Sortarican]

The northern canyon would be the Pouder.

I said tour...as in plural canyons.
But yeah Pouder, Big Tommy, Estes, hell...let's just keep going till we hit Steamboat.
(Just need to avoid Grand County till after June...that judge he no likey me.)

Sounds like a fine idea to me.

[bandido]

Sounds good to me.

[Sortarican]

How decrepit do I have to be to qualify as a FOG?

:lol:
Like the saying goes:
It's not so much the years.... it's the mileage that gets ya.
(I'd say 30+, though I think the FOG forum is 40+)

[Devaclis]

5 more years and I will be out there with you. I will even bring you some gerritol!

[daemon]

sounds good to me.
especially the FOG type ride....need to keep the "old men" running:siesta:

[lovinCO]

We're in. :)

[Bashed]

I'm in set it up Sortarican.

I'm glad I qualify in
both mileage and years.

Young wippersnappers running amuck these days.

Later Bash

[mtnairlover]

Oh yeah...count me in too. WooHoo!!! Yeah baby! Date, time, place...you know, the usual;-)

[teamhypoxia]

I'm in if we go by Sortarican's rule.

Just saw that I have two of the same bikes as bandido.
I guess I have about 12 years to aquire the rest though.

[CBRSue]

A FOG spring ride? Sweet! Thanks for giving me a reason to feel good about being 40-somethin', and count me in! :)

[Bueller]

I'm in as token 'Tard

[bandido]

Let me guess, The 954 and R6.

[FZRguy]

It's not so much the years.... it's the mileage that gets ya.

Exactly.

An overnight at the Rabbit Ears in SB sounds good. I should have the FZR 620 up and running by mid May. :alien:

[CanAm]

Great! When's it gonna be?

[Sortarican]

..Young wippersnappers running amuck these days.Later Bash
They'll rue the day they ran amuck!!!!....Oh Yes!....They will rue it.

for giving me a reason to feel good about being 40-somethin',..
It's all about seeing the glass half full Sunshine.:)


I'm in as token 'Tard
Coolies,
And if there's a tard in the group we can use handicapped parking.:up:


.... I should have the FZR 620 up and running by mid May. :alien:
Good to hear, haven't seen you on a ride in too long.


Great! When's it gonna be?

How does everyone feel about the weekend of May 17th?

[Sully]

I'm not old enough yet, but can I still go too?

[Devaclis]

[Sortarican]

:lol:.. and I thought you liked them young ??

I think you missunderstood me.
I said I like to RIDE young ones.....not ride WITH young ones.
(Easy mistake.)


So what does the group think?
Keep it truely a FOG outing, or let some of the STBFOG's (Soon to be FOG) in?
(Cut it off at 30+ or 35+?)

[Devaclis]

Keep it FOG. It loses its meaning if you bend the rules :)

[Sully]

Then Dev is out.. he just drinks 40's.. but he aint 40 :p

[Nick_Ninja]

FOG ONLY

[Sully]

yea, Nick_Ninja will be checking ID's at the MoCo.... :lol:

[Sortarican]

yea, Nick_Ninja will be checking ID's at the MoCo.... :lol:

Yeah, Jeff was in his 40's back when he was 20.

[Nick_Ninja]

[towneh]

This would be great.... The canyon of the gunnison would be a nice leg. I'm targeting 4 nice days in Apr for my iba bbg_i (see the sig block....)

[Devaclis]

You are too young Henry. go home :)

[towneh]

You are too young Henry. go home :)

age is the frame of the mind.... in my case, both appear to be mia....

[Sortarican]

Too young & green. Guess I'll go get an R6 then. Have fun fill'n your diapers in the canyons :)

We'll be out after dark too, that eliminated Chris.
(So have fun getting your diapers changed.)

Cool another Harley Rider.

[mtnairlover]

I'm ok...whatever day works.

[lovinCO]

Keep it FOG. It loses its meaning if you bend the rules :)


What the hell? Hey, we beat both of the 30+ 35+ categories. We are technically STBFOG, but we're older than Dana, which is OLD, so is that FOGish enough?? I just want to ride with the cool people. :)

[FZRguy]

So is this a one or two day ride? I’d like to do two but I can ride Sat/Sun or Sun/Mon (preferred).

[CBRSue]

I marked my calendar for the weekend of May 17th - lookin' forward to a day of riding with fellow FOGs and a TARD! :)

[Nick_Ninja]

Let's go on Sunday. That should create an atmosphere of needing to take responsibility for oneself to retain a level of sobriety prior to mingling with fellow riders in a situation that may endanger all parties involved.




















































































................and if you believe that fuck you. :321:

[CanAm]

Either day that weekend works for me.

I'm 35 so I can't go on this ride either :(

BUT, the point of FOG is to keep it FOG, IMO, FWIW, IDK, W/E hahahaha

[Bashed]

Sortarican,
Remind me the day or two before will ya?
I aready forgot what day it is/was.

Later Bash

[FZRguy]

I vote for Sunday too…day ride or two.

If anyone is feeling left out you could always start a MAG (Middle Aged Guys/Gals) group for those with kids and big mortgages, but still have all their hair, memory, etc. :)

Marc

An old '02 with 64,000 miles. Nothing new whatsoevah.

[FZRguy]

I'll be on my FOB...36k miles. Assembling the over-bore top end this weekend.

[Sortarican]

Let's do a one day to begin the season and depending on interest we can schedule a 2 or 3 day later in the season when the weather is a little more stable.

Sunday the 18th sounds like it works best for people.

I'll bump this thread up a week/10 days before to remind everyone and to get the headcount and route finalized.

[towneh]

yeah, same here..... a two-wheeled exxon valdez!:siesta:

[FZRguy]

That was absolutely no fun. Still have to install the cams, figure the new clearance, take out cams to adjust the shims, install the cams. Makes working on a two-stroke cake.

[ZX Rider]

Damn, I'm only 34.

[mayhem]

hey bash, after sortarican reminds you, then remind me. if it's not a race weekend then i'm down.........

[FZRguy]

Welp, the goal today was to get the bike out of the house and started, but that was sabotaged by a coolant leak.:banghead: So the 18th is very doubtful for any real riding. I’ll try again next Saturday and if all goes well, maybe ride over the to ERC and watch those guys ride circles in the parking lot for a bit. Not wanting to venture too far for the first couple rides.

[Mental]

Water cooling is for suckaz!

Kidding, bummer, but it will be all that sweeter when you get her out

[Scruff Dog]

Wee. It doesn't start until 4:15 PM. We can always stop somewhere and watch it.

Your welcome to stop at my place for Moto GP if that works. I can't get away from here until after 11:00, so may have to pass on the ride.

Sorry to hear of the coolant leak :(, but looks like you are gettin' pretty close to gettin' her all together!!! Congrats on that!!! :)

[Sortarican]

I know there's a lot going on this weekend with the noobie ride, advanced msf course, MotoGP, and such
so chime in on your interest in riding this Sunday or if we should consider postponing this till Memorial Day weekend.

As of today's forecast Sunday looks picture perfect with moutain temps in the 70's.
Might have some leftover sand from this last front but with Fri/Sat being warm all canyons should be in play.
(With maybe the exception of Trail Ridge.)

[Nick_Ninja]

Postpone it. Schedule it for a Moto GP Sunday and we'll take Scruff Dog up on his invite. :up:

I thought Fance was this Sunday?

It might be but the MSF class is this Sunday.

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Soooo what's the scoop brotha's? Where do we meet and when, where are we riding, and where will we end up? Post up all the updates on the first post? I think I'll be in. Gonna try and round me up a girlie for the back.

Thanks for the invite there Scruff mah brotha! You and Lanette ROCK! (As usual....):)

[CanAm]

This weekend there is also vintage motocross racing at Milliken http://www.rockymountainregionvintagemotorcycleclub.org/ for those interested in that. And there is a CSC ride already planned for Memorial Day weekend (Sunday the 25th). The weekend of June 1 is Superbike racing at Miller in Utah. A bunch of peeps are going to that.

So much to do and so few summer weekends. So what's it gonna be? This Sunday or later?

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Talked to N_N and he can't make it, so I think this one kinda died on the vine. Bummer, but we can reschedule. Thanks again to Steve and Lanette for offering up their place as the destination for the MotoGP.

[Sortarican]

Rescheduling it is, I'll update the original post.

I'm going to the MoCo Sunday morning, but don't plan to do the Noob ride unless they're desperately short lead/sweep riders.
(And that usually isn't the case.)

Come on down Frank (and any others) and we'll do a little ad hoc riding then catch the race somewhere.

[64BonnieLass]

Yea, what he said Frank. :D

Man, in a couple of weeks I will be old enough to ride with FOG'S. How lucky am I???

[Nick_Ninja]

Luck has a lot to do with making it to FOG status. :siesta:

Dood! I'll call ya, maybe tonight. Steve wants to ride Sunday. If you want to come up for Scer's party you can come up here, crash at my place Sat night, and leave sun morning, be back at Steve's around noonish, then go for another ride and go back to his pad for the race? Hmmm......

I'll give ya a call man. We'll get a ride on regardless.

[FZRguy]

We have liftoff :D and no leaks! See some of you tomorrow.

[FZRguy]

Are we still doing this ride?

[Scruff Dog]

Are we still doing this ride?


Man, I guess that question fell on deaf ears. I'm game - anyone else?

[Snowman]

Screw the young’ns, let go to Mexico! :siesta:

[FZRguy]

We can be all creative and call it the FOG Summer Ride.

[Nick_Ninja]

This route gets my vote.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/Nick_Ninja/365.jpg

[FZRguy]

Kinda long...how 'bout Hwy 7 out of Lyons, over to Estes, Glen Haven, Stove Prairie, Rist Canyon for a north kind of loop. Gotta be a Sunday for me.

[mtnairlover]

This route gets my vote.




:lol:

Holy crap!!! :shocked:

Let's all post our ride map ideas, eh? See who/what bites.

[FZRguy]

Well, he does have an iron butt!

[mtnairlover]

Um..."iron" something fer sure...;-)

[mtnairlover]

Here's another idea...

[Nick_Ninja]

Um..."iron" something fer sure...;-)

I have ridden that exact route (sans Buena Vista) from Boulder in a day. No big deal. :siesta:

Try this one:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/Nick_Ninja/07trip.jpg

[FZRguy]

I haven’t ridden Teller 11 in a while. Hwy 67 to 24, Teller 11 to Hwy 9, lunch at the Pizza Hut in Buena, 285 back…no iron butt required.

You are just f'n awesome! Ain't no doubt. Now, if only I could do the same and not worry about kids.

[Lomax]

So if this ever happens, Is it just for FOG's or do we bring our old bikes also ??:confused:
