Hey Guys, I am not able to attend the RPM rally. I got jammed up a work by the assholes in charge. gotta work all weekend ... pissed as hell .. almost quit ..(insert rant here).
tried like hell to make it happen , even offered money to my co workers to switch with me.

Now the other shoe drops .. Zari is out as well , he fell of a ladder and messed his foot up to the point he cannot ride. 

I will be able to attend the Renegade Rally next weekend.

Mark, Craig and Ron, sorry to hear you can't make it. Enjoy the renegade, I'll be working myself.

Sound like Rick is coming over Saturday night to enjoy dinner and drinks...maybe we can help him forget about his recent loss...

The five of us will tear it up, no worries there.

Well, I gave it a shot. I've been here since 4:15 and not a bike in sight. They must have made other plans for tonight.

Sorry Rick, you were a little early.

We were out tearing up the Sierra mountains until a little after 6.

It's 12:15 and I just dropped everyone off at the hotel, you able to head over for breakfast?

Plan is anywhere from 9-10...those guys want to sleep in...

Well, the 2017 RPM Fall Rally turned out to be a great event. I know it is 364 days away, but mark your calendar now for the 2018 event which will be held October 5-7, 2018

We rode yesterday for a total of 285 miles of perfect weather, great roads and good friends.

Today, Sunday was reserved for manshed work. But after doing one small job on Ron's bike, it looked like we would have time to make a run back up the hill. So, we logged another 150 miles today. Today was also the first and only time I have ridden Priest Grade and not had to pass a single car; it was an epic run to say the least.

I will post up some photos and a full ride report shortly.

Here is one photo I took today...
