Peeps,
I'm planning to ride back home after each awesome rally day, since I live just shy of an hour from Petaluma.
'So What' you may say.
Well, if you're looking for a free tent or couch spot, and are willing to do the hour rally commute, then that's the offer for you. I've two spacious 3 man tents and a couch up for grabs (bring your sleeping bag) should any rallyist be interested.

That's about like being in a Hayfork Ca. bar (only two bars in town) and 2 or 3 people in there. It starts raining like hell out side and 200 hippys show up in the bar, I ask the bar tender what gives ? He said "AW every time it rains those hippys get flooded out of there holes up in the hill's and end up in here, it stops raining and they disappear like Houdini"  :bye2:

Except the bar in Hayfork had a large candy jar full of Condoms..... :bad:
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I was planning on this trip, and really looking forward to it, but unfortunately I've had to bug out, and cancel my vacation  :negative:
I up and quit my job to go work for the County, in their Fleet Management division.
They gave me an offer I could'nt refuse, so...................the Kabin I had is up for grabs, I think it was #274?
I'll have to join up on the next one...........Everyone ride safe, and have a beer for me at campfire time! :drinks:

Alan, sorry to hear you are gonna miss the rally but happy that you found a better job. looking forward to meeting you next year. Or you might make the Renegade rally later this year. Last year was great, smaller group but still packed with rides and rally fun.

At the end of the day Alan its been placed there for you to ensure the family benefits :empathy2:, there will always be next year and what a year it will be, the FJ turns the big 30, who would've thought 30 yrs later there is still some getting around and looking pretty damn smick, will have to try and get to that party  :drinks:

Congrats on the new job Alan!  Sorry you have to miss the rally though.  Hope to see you at the next one.

My congrats to you, too, Alan.
I'm looking forward to staying with you and your awesome family on my way out.
Thanks for that!
We will ride together again, I have no doubt.
The job is #1 in anyones book and you made a great move, I'm happy for you.

Alan,
Pity 'bout the rally miss, but business is business. Besides, it'll give you time to make sure that exhaust can doesn't come loose and disappear into the bushes.
Hope you can make the next official one or even the renegade rally  - did I say RENEGADE RALLY. Something to hammer out round that camp fire indeed.
Regards to your awesome family who put up with us descending on them last year. Good times.

Sorry I will not be able to meet you. I was hoping to meet you Leon and Kurt at some link up point South of here. But the job comes first and it will be exciting for you to have a new position and to build on a retirement. Congrats !!

Thank you all for the kind regards.........I'll miss all of you at the rally this year, but I'll look farward to the FJ's 30th birthday rally next year.

Andy, if you ever make it back to Denver, I found the perfect place for you.
They hold an "Old Bike Night" event on the first Thursday of every month, and I'm told they have the best Fish-n-Chips in town......
I popped in there to see how many bikes showed up for the May event, and I should have the FJ back together for the June one.
