    The list has been updated. Airreed, you are on the stand-by list (behind gixxerjarhead). We had another cancellation (TaZ8U, being replaced by gary n).

    I will hopefully be getting all registered participants the details via email tonight.
    Everybody start doing your favorite sunshine & warm weather dance/prayer/voodoo.

    I have too, but it sucks at 6 am when the ground is the coldest from over night cooling! The only thing I haven't ridden in so far is a blizzard w/snow on the ground, tornado, and a hurricane. Even had a minor tremor in cali before. But I like to ride in rain :-) it's fun!

    I'll notify everybody soon with all the details, but basically, when you enter the staging area, give them our unit # (to be supplied with the rest of the details) and they will direct you to our approximate location.

    Ok, just got the email. Informative, but missing some minor small details. I'll be (in good warm weather), over ankle boots, jeans, Green CSC T, helmet and gloves. And I got the note on the insurance. No problem. Now what I was wondering is, helmets, I'm assuming we're all gonna wear it, or is it up participants descretion? I'm in the military so I'm required to wear it for riding, but if you guys planned on not for the parade, then I'm sure it'll be ok for something like a slow paced parade. So whats the uniform of the day bob?

    I'm going to leave this up to the discression of each individual.

    It is going to be slow moving, but there will likely be a couple of people doing stunts. This year we're going to go in 2 rows , so there should be plenty of room for stunting in the middle (last year we rode in 3 rows, which left little room on the outside for stunting).

    If you want to wear your helmet, that's fine.
    If you don't want to wear your helmet, that's fine too. Like I said, it's slow moving.

    If you are planning on stunting, please wear your helmet.

    If anybody has anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask!

    Wasn't the club warned about stunts last year? If you lose control your bike goes shootin' off into the crowd.

    Also, with the forecast looking pretty bad we were thinking about riding the quads. Are non-street legel vehicles allowed?

    Not that I can recall - Ralph, do you remember anything of the sort? I'm pretty sure that, the year prior, we were encouraged to do stunts if we felt it was safe.

    Last year we followed a group of quads, so yes, but I think they still want you to have liability insurance - do you have proof of that?

    OMG - I just had a BikerBoyz vision - you guys on your quads doing stunts with the sport-bikers as you come into view.

    I never heard anything about not doing stunts last year. I even busted a few standups right past cops! Please don't try stunts there if you don't know what you're doing, if you mess up and crash there are all kinds of people right along side the road (TONS of kids too). The crowd loves it when we goof off, but if we hurt someone sh!t would go downhill real quick like.

    Dean, I suggest throwing on an old race tire for the parade- BURNOUT CENTRAL!!!

    Nobody said a thing to either Hoopty or myself for doing stunts last year, infact the cops and crowd loved it when Hoopty and I would do stunts in front of them... I have to say that you all need to be very careful as there are many kids that would not like to have a tire or frameslider implanted in their head... If you don't know what your doing please don't do something stupid because the crowd is pumping you to do it! Have fun and be safe, I will be jealous of all of you this weekend! TAKE PICS!!

    No problem on the insurance.

    Boy, that would be a "stunt" to pull off anything on my 550 lb. 4x4 Kodiac 450. The only thing it will do is a burn-out with the front brakes locked. It bounces off trees pretty well too!! Actually, that would be Kim's quad.

    I never heard anything bad about the stunts, I think they're ok as long as we're smart about it. This means:
    - If you don't know how to do it, Saturday is not your day to learn! Keep it on two wheels if you're unsure or inexperienced.
    - Please don't do it right next to the crowd, if you want to pop a monster wheelie or something get in the middle where you have more road.
    - Please don't kill the crowd. (seeing a theme here?)

    The only complaint I remember hearing, was I believe from the first year's parade with respect to burnouts and the grade school marching band behind us that got the brunt of it. ("All you is, is a bunch of punks!!!" ring a bell for anyone? )

    I don't remember that particular quote, but then again, I was in the front.


    Burnouts are the most popular thing to do, if you want to, get take-offs to do them. I have a spare R6 (99-06) wheel with a used race tire on it if anybody wants to burn it up (Ripper?) - just gotta pick it up at my place and install it - hell, if you ride to my house on Friday, I can help you do it.
