2015 NorCal Renegade Rally. Sept 18th-20th

[FJmonkey]

The up coming rally has given me a good excuse to make a practice run (not that I really need an excuse). Get some time in the saddle to be ready for the long ride(s).

Mike, you missed out this for a wedding?

Up the Crest, Big Bear, Rim of the World, back down the Crest - 290 miles

And it's off to the Airport I go, see you later on today, Seppos!

Not that you need vlidation, but I can attest to this ride's epic-ness.

Plus I did a short shake down run the day before when I swapped clutch baskets and the RPM shift kit over to the '89. A 60 mile round trip to Newcomb's Ranch and back.

WoW!...nice roads!...wish I was there.  

I think someone posted some pretty cheap airfares recently.

Doug, come on over, we would be glad to have you and Dina be a part of the festivities.

I even have a motorbike you could use...

errrr, they were quoted in U.S.A. dollars, but I must say I appreciate the invite. (Made Dina`s day!)
....has got me thinkin of possibilities further in the future.

only a week away now ...

Alright, last call... The remaining hotel rooms will be released Sunday morning.

An email has been sent to everyone that is confirmed to date, with several more to follow.

I am glad we moved the date back a week as the temp yesterday was 108 and today is 106 with tomorrow only to be 102* ... Next weekend looks much better with the mid 80's to low 90's.

There is one concern is that is fire. A fire started a couple days ago just north of where we are projected to ride. The skies over Oakdale today are orange due to the smoke and by listening to the radio as it is present where we are riding. So lets hope the fire stays north and no new fires pop up where we are going. If they do we will find another series of roads as there are plenty of good ones.

For those attending get ready, based on a suggestion from the man traveling the furthest to attend, we are going to roast a pig for the Saturday night meal. Friday will also be BBQ fare as well with drinks provided.

Shuttle service to & from the hotel will be provided as well so that bikes can be secure inside the shop and no one drinks & rides.

I think we are going to get lucky with the weather and the fire pit will occur with the evening temps dropping into the 50's.

If you are still on the fence and/or have any questions please let me know before I let the hotel rooms go.

This is going to be a good time.

Andy French where are you...

This is soooo exciting. It's the first rally that I'm NOT scrambling to put an engine together!

Did you fix your oil ring?

[Steve_in_Florida]

Any chance that we could video-link the two FJ get-togethers next Saturday? Be fun to attend both events.

Just a little snip it of a 4.5 mile section of the 200+ miles we will be traveling next Saturday.

That looked like the little dragon...sweet run.

That pass around the corner with the motorhome was pucker time.
I see you are warming up for the Renegades.

[ZOA NOM]

Sweet!!!!!

Alright guys, I have been assembling some items for a raffle/auction for this weekends 2015 Renegade Rally. I wasn't quite sure where the proceeds should go, but after reading this tonight there is no question in my mind.

So guys bring some extra cash for the auction/raffle. I am going to have RPM, Sena, Noco, Yamaha items here. I have already sent out emails to my suppliers tonight and asked for donations for the auction/raffle and I will be adding to the items as well.

It must be getting close to the 2015 Renegade Rally...

The BBQ arrived this evening


Got the confirmation that the pig is prepped and ready to roast on Saturday.

The auction & raffles items are coming together nicely as well.

Everyone ride safe on the way up and we'll see you soon.
