Harry (& anyone else interested)...

I'm back in the real world!!!!!! Planted the toes down here in Phoenix & liv'n large! "Bout finished mov'n into the home & got the bike polished up & ready to ride!

I'm think'n we need to plan one of those fun, longer, always a twist (two tickets in 1 day or yah toss'n yer cookies b-4 we made it to Sturgis) kind-a rides.

Even if yah need to tanker the bikes down past Raton Pass, a sooner than later trip could be just what the Dr. ordered!!! Maybe a quick trip to Tequilla-Ville (Rocky Point, etc.).

Anyone else up for some fun is more than welcome. Squids need not apply.

I'm definitely interested. I can get away for a weekend plus 1 or 2 days but that's all. I'm not the Iron Butt rider like you two, but I'm up for 600-700 mile days (maybe more) - I know that's only about 4 hours the way you two ride. :D Leaving Denver in the evening and spending the night in Raton would work for me.

I'm thinking of several trips....

1) SOONER - THAN - LATER TRIP...

Caravan your bikes in a trailer past Raton Pass or to the Western Slope of CO. From there it's Giddy UP!!! Timing of when to do it would have to be better thought out of course. 2 hours out of PHX & you're looking at some potential nasty wx also so I'ld also have some coordinating to do. Most of the riding would probably have to go under cover of sunlight! Lots of options after there, most contingent upon time people could get off... VEGAS, MX, Cali????


2) HWY 1 / California Trip...

That'll be a definate this summer. Plans just need to be put into asphalt


3) Ride to PHX...

My home & a spare bedroom is always open

What say you..... we escort Old Knee out to Vancouver via Vegas,(to meet up with you) head to Tijuana for a taco- roll North up Hwy1,(pick up Mr Wise in LAX) turn right @ Vancouver, camp @ Taz's 101 acres- start the clock for the IBA's B2B run & roll hwy 93 South to Phoenix & onto Nogales,(to stop the clock) & then drink that Corona?

I already have vacation from noon 5/28 -6/8!!!

Do need to get my frame welded & a new shock absorber & if I get that prior to this potential EPIC ride, might even do it on a rigid! Not-,(but I could)

We should chat soon & get something set up. Once dates/ect. is cofirmed everthing falls into place & the exhileration begins.

My schedule hasn't changed, even since I did get married. She's a great gal & supports motorcycling & trips 10000% Yes, she does have a couple sisters also... ;) I'll send you pics next week, once they come back from the photographers. Anyway, enough of that earthshaking & side chatter news.

I say we all could plan some trips with the dates & rough riding schedules. After that everything & everyone falls into place (or out of them at the last minute).

TRIP(S) IDEAS...
1) Meet in SW CO & do Moab/etc. for a quick weekend trip.
2) B2B trip
3) Hwy 1 trip / Tetons trip.
4) VEGAS BABY!!!! (We could actually go there a couple times this summer... hint hint!!!!!)

Everyone put your thinking caps on & start your engines...

I think we need a place to post those trips & what are the details.... Anyone have any ideas how someone could post those trips w/ our current system , people could give suggestions/input on how to make it better, & then once the trip is set in stone, everyone could understand w/out hav'n to read through everyone's posts?????

I'ld like to coordinate some trips. More than everyone is welcome. How could everyone suggest ideas/places to go/see, dates, times & then once the run gets closer & people start adhering to the schedule how could I put it??

Since the club was started I've been struggl'n w/ this idea. Anone know of a good program the site could implement????

For Instance:

1) Moab:
Date: March 21st Friday - Sunday
Everyone Depart Thursday
Overnight
Friday arrive Moab
Blah, Blah, Blah....People could easliy sign up / post suggestions, etx. Agter it goes to 200 replies, who knows what the hell's going / who's going / etc.

SUGGESTOINS, SUGGESTIONS, IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Don't know if this made much sense to anyone but it if did....shoooot out any ideas

John,
Other than maybe meeting you in Santa-Fe for a some riding & a night of some drinking and perhaps a little poker game,(Paulie are you reading this?) I'm likely gonna have to wait until @ least Memorial Day week to hook up.

1) Can you get that week off?
2) Think you can ride 5K on that track bike of yours?,(did you steal that license plate frame of yours or what)
3)I already made my suggestion of Vegas, Hwy 1 & finish w/ an IBA ride B2B,(36 hour or insanity) Interested?? If not, what's your suggestion?
or....
4) Ninja, Yourself, & Town Boy all have MC's that can hit 175mph or close to it. Let's crush the record of the Coast to Coast Insanity riding Cali-Labrador in under 4 days, 22 hours. No, sadly, :cry: I can't hit that speed anymore, butt, it'd be a tortus & hare ride for me ;)

Santa Fe wouldn't be a bad place to host a good ol' poker party! I don't think the ride gett'n there would be much fun though. It's a real twisty interstate road for yah! Maybe we could find somewhere in South Central/Western CO, NW New Mexico, etc. That way we would all have something to live for with the ride. I think that's a weekend trip.. depart FRI night/early sat am... poker on Sat eve.. home on Sunday.

Head'n to Vegas for a 1 night trip this Saturday. Just taking the 400mph cycle there.

Harry & All... I'm up for 'bout anything & whenever, when it comes to the weekend trips. The actual tak'n vacation off would take some planning.

Harry, I am still will'n & able to put those miles on w/ the R1. I might be looking for a few more bike swaps though, & possibly a good Yoga instructor to take with.

LET ME KNOW!!!!
