ROLL CALL - 2013 West Coast Rally

[Pat Conlon]

Sure, what do you think guys?    I'm game 

[FJmonkey]

Steve, Mike and I have kicking this idea around for a few years. We have enough SoCal members, commitment/interest seemed to be lacking. Maybe it is time to jump start the idea and make it happen...

[Charley Farley]

Gee whiz.... Al I need is a bike, air fare from Aus to LAX return, spending money, time off for good behaviour, a job to come back to..... 

[craigo]

Sounds interesting. How far south in SoCal are you thinking? Ojai, Big Bear, Idyllwild, Palomar, Mt Laguna all have beautiful roads. After Labor day would be best as all the kids are in school and traffic is light in these areas.

Weekends are tough for me but if the planets line up just so, I can attend.

Remember, SoCal in Sept is a tinderbox and I worry about us being able to have a campfire.

We're talking about the ribs, -right?

I hope so...they were good btw.  I had BBQ sauce in my white whiskers for a couple of hours...of course no one at the table mentioned it...
I wondered why they were looking at me, elbowing each other and laughing....those rascals...

What a great time I had at the rally. One WCR get together a year is not enough....we need more!

Hows about we have a Southern West Coast Fall Rally in September then?
Works for me, I'll bring more of that Papua New Guinea coffee.

If you are talking about doing that this coming September. I might have to change my plans from the Fall East Coast Rally and head West.

Thanks Doug but unfortunately it is more about the $$$$ required

Andy, when is the NorCal Renegade Rally?

It's whenever you & I decide it to be, how about that?
I'm planning on coming over in September and going to Norcal.

[Charley Farley]

Ummmm..... Just a question. If "she who must be obeyed" & I came to the 2014 WC rally, what's the go with renting/hiring bikes in Calyforniay?? 

I see 1 place on the interwebby thing that hires from LAX  but hoping some of the local's might have some better idea's.

BTW, I will bring TWO bottles of Bundy Rum

what's the go with renting/hiring bikes in Calyforniay??

There are a few places in San Francisco, but I don't know where to rent an FJ...

These guys rent some fine hardware...  BMW, Ducati, etc.

These guys rent "Dreams", but the hardware is mostly Hardly's.

Cruiser's galore.

If you hope to stay with the F'n Jets however, you better rent the BMW K1300S from these guys...

That's all...

coming over in September and going to Norcal.

I'll offer to guide a full day ride around greater SF South Bay...  There's a route I like that takes us out to the coast, lunch in Santa Cruz on the Boardwalk, then over toward Morgan Hill and potentially Livermore via Mt Hamilton.  Great riding and lots of options with potential to stop at the famous Alice's Restaurant on Skyline Blvd.

Just an option, but we really should extend the RR to 2 days.

That'd be a tough choice between the Tiger and the Adventure....
