2017 West Coast Rally - June 1-3, 2017

[yamaha fj rider]

Sorry to read, you are not up to speed. Heal well.

When the cast comes off, do they leave the OBD-II connector installed?

[moparman70]

Wow you and Mark are the only ones that I really like, not that sure about Mark. Hope you both make quick recovery and limp in. Really am sorry to hear about this Ed. Looks pretty serious. Take it easy man.

To say I  am a little hurt might undermine my true feelings --- on another note I want my Corbin seat back MIKE!

[racerrad8]

I sprained my ankle last June, and finally had it repaired yesterday. It looks like 2 months before I can even put weight on it, let alone ride or even drive!

Shit Ed, from a sprain last June to surgery...What was the required surgery?

Heal up fast and I hope to see you there. Remember, I went to the 2014 WCR less than two months after my knee surgery.

Updated list below, if you still have thoughts of coming, please add your name.

Spring is springing out here in the west. We will soon be getting out for some recon rides.

Working on the catering now for the event.

We have also been working on the awards for the various friendly competitions we will be having.

The raffle is shaping up well too.

Bring your video cameras to record your rides. I am planning on having a A/V station set up so videos can be playing on the big screen during the evenings too.

I still have 2 or 3 bunkhouses available from those still undecided. Let me know if you require one.

Only 70 days until the WCR.

It turned out that I had one of those 'bad sprains' that are 'worse than a break' that everyone hears about.  All 3 of the lateral ligaments are loose from repeated sprains.  This time I also tore 2 tendons that rotate the foot right<>left. The doc also decided to try to put an end to the sprains by adjusting the position of my heel bone



My doc was INSISTANT that I keep all the weight off it for at least 8 weeks to allow the bone & tendon to heal, and from how it feels, I understand why!  I asked about when I could ride, after I deflected the 'don't ever ride' bs, she said probably 12 weeks-maybe a bit sooner. That still leaves me at least 3-4 weeks after the rally.
So, I'm done guys-at least for now.  This IS sucking, I haven't ridden since the Renegade Rally last fall, so I'm more than ready. It's just that the body isn't willing to do what the mind wants.
Can I still get a Shirt?

[Capn Ron]

Gee-zus, Ed...what did you go and do THAT for?

[DR.GTS.DUCATI.FAZER Dave]

Ed, I think Steverino is spot on....you have plenty of time.

Still...If not ready to ride, just have Sue drive you both up and hang out...

Tic, tic, tic, tic...hear that Eddie? It's time flying by.....

Ed,

We have not yet met, however I wish to weigh in. I did the Central Rally with Ear, Sinus and upper/lower jaw infection to keep a promise of attending it with RcktmnFJ. As we know, he made it and we rode very few miles, but the crew from the group made it worth every painful mile for both of us. Randy then made the Fall Rally and a week after with me in Memphis plus riding his FJ the week before his passing. Side note, I did that fall rally in the Porsche, someone borrowed my pickup truck 2 months earlier and still have it six months later.

My point, worst case, use it as a healing vacation and like Pat and others have said, drive a car and enjoy down time with a friend or two, if you decide to ride the mile to the dinner to say you rode, I should have a spare bike or two to lend.

Bikeless Ducati(less) Once again DucatiDave I bought back my original 95 916, kookaloo (did I apply that right Franky)

Who are you, what Corbin seat?

[Capn Ron]

Ed,

Ummm...can I borrow the Porsche?

I'm with Dave on this one...wouldn't be a he same without you Ed!!!

Looking forward to some sun work style. Missed last rally as retirement and move. Locked inside with record snow and what 2 days sun in March. So the now 25 year old has been serviced and polished ready to show her off.

It'll be good to see you again and also check out that bike carrier setup!

[yamaha fj rider]

Very nice. Sorry I will not make it to WCR this year. Hope you are heading to Colorado also, hint, hint.

[racerrad8]

I have a couple of feelers out to some more members, they had expressed interest but I have not heard back.

We are hanging right around the 50 count. I hope both Mark and Ed have a change of thought and will join us. That is why I am leaving their names on the list...(hint hint)

If anyone still has a thought of attending, please throw your name on the list. I still have two more bunkhouses available.

Don't forget, there are two options to get your bikes out here from the eastern side of the country; FJ not required:
Transportation to 2017 WCR
To the WCR from Toronto

I am currently getting the catering sorted and want to make sure I have enough for everyone. The plan is the have the resort serve breakfast and dinner on both Friday and Saturday. I have to have a minimum of 30 for them to cater. We far surpass that, but I have to pay per person I advise are eating.

The raffle is coming along nicely, although I am still searching for some more items. The awards for the competitions are in the works and as the spring weather has come into play, ride routes will start getting finalized.

I have a couple special things planned as well that hopefully everyone will enjoy.
