I wouldn't have a problem waiting an extra week or two to decide If everyone is ok with it. I mainly would like to see how many would still attend before I talk to her again. Now that her deal with the crew of essential workers has fallen through I think she would honor our reservations if the quarantine is lifted. The other list is just to express interest in doing it on a later date. The weather starts getting cold again much later than August.

May 1st is this Friday and it doesn't look like California is rushing to reopen. I spoke with Rebecca at Bucks lake lodge.She said if the quarantine is lifted we can use her cabins. She would also reschedule for a later date. The new attendee list is short. I don't think it would be a true west coast rally with only four bikes but if it opens I will go if it's only two bikes and if it doesn't reopen I am still going to do a day trip Friday or Saturday.

Travis, I really appreciate your efforts to make this happen. It is not a minor thing. You should feel good about it. The circumstances were to say the least, out of your control. I hope to be passing through your neck of the woods this year maybe late spring or early summer to see my son and in Boise. Maybe we can grab a bite or if I make a "ride" out of it do a  little something on the bikes.

THANK YOU!
Mike

Yes, thank you Travis.
Next time I'm in Carson City (this summer) I'll give you a call and buy you lunch at Red 74's, then we can ride up the mountain.

.       Thanks Mike. Its a shame about the rally but I'm glad nobody in this group has gotten sick. Hopefully we will all get together at the RPM fall rally. All you have to do is make it to Reno with your riding gear and I will have an extra FJ to ride.

.    That sounds a lot more appetizing than the Palace Club in Virginia City. I'll drag my son along and. Hopefully Paul will come .

Travis, you can join the rarest club on Earth; 'the rally organizers whose rally got canceled-due to unfortunate circumstances', club. (It's a working title).
That means you join me in the club, your efforts dusted by a virus, mine were scuppered by wild fires.
Top marks.

That's Red's Old 395 in Carson City.
I'm looking forward to seeing who ever can make it.

Yep, that's what I meant....I had Hwy 74 mixed up with 395.... I gotta get out for a ride....going bonkers.

I took both bikes out Monday for a ride. Quick trip up and back to Virginia City. The weather was perfect and they both purred like kittens.

Is Jason's Texas bike running? If not, what will it take?

You and I gotta ride over the mountain to Oakdale and get Ryan Raduechel's help on welding that frame crack.

Ryan's welds are exquisite.

Well May 28th isn't going to work for this year's rally but it seems like pressure to reopen our economy is growing.I think by August there is a good chance California will be open again. If others want to reschedule it for August I think we could. Bucks Lake is even a better place to ride mid summer than it is in the spring. If any one is interested I will reschedule it with them but we should decide now before some one else books the facility.I will restart the list.
