That would be super cool John! We'd be more than glad to host you SoCal boys for a weekend.
And thanks for the bump...I was starting to feel unloved. :hug:

Down, up, I just want to get back in gear. As far as going down, Driftboat (just today) and Red Wasp have expressed possible interest in the upcoming July ride. Will NorCal FZ6-Forum member/riders ever outnumber SoCal riders in a massive group ride in SoCal this summer? Answer: stay tuned.

It would be nice if we could fit this stretch (Nacimiento-Fegersson Highway) in on way down or back up:

I'd be down for that. Great road, if a little bumpy and slimey. Great DS road, especially since there is a ton of legal dirt that connects to it, but I love it on the FZ6 for sure. :thumbup: Just make sure your papers are in order and that you don't mind water crossings... :D

Nice! :thumbup: Make it soon...the wifey is due 8/16

You and Frenchie still planning on doing the Euro tour?

:Flip::Flip: **** I guess I never called you back huh? SORRY! :D Will do this wkd...

Yeah Euro Trip is firm now... plane tickets purchased, bikes ready for us, I just need to work on the itinerary in details (this coming weekend). I've been a little busy with work lately... tomorrow I'll know if I got a big promotion or not... keep your fingers crossed!!!

I didn't know you were pregnant!!!! CONGRATS MAN!!!! that's awesome news!!!! Keeping the bikes? lol.... be prepared I tell you!

I hope I can make that Northern Cali Trip with John.... will depend on when it happens, but anything within the next 3-4 months will be tough for me (considering the Euro trip!!!).

First off, congratulations on the news Nate! I hope parenthood enriches both of your lives.

As David mentioned we are a GO for France. I am going back into retirement at the end of this week and am itching to get in a few rides this year. As I have some clarity on my schedule I will post up a new thread and let you have time to plan to join me/us.

This is really nice...to ride, have fun, enjoying the sceneries and most of all creating new friends with all.
I better do my seat time with the bike, just to get use to riding her.

July is fast approaching:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
So what's the game plan for the Sonora Ride, is it still on and have any dates been decided?? I plan on going up via 395 and taking an extra day or two so I can stay in Mammoth or Bishop. Figured out that 200-250 miles is about my limit due to my lack of stamina:rolleyes: Old age has some disavantages and most of us over 60 are not in as good of shape as Jack LaLanne:BLAA:

Actually Jerry, I hope we're in better shape than Jack LaLanne. He left us this past year! Funny thing is Lisa and I met him and ended up having breakfast with him a few months before he passed. Good guy! Funny! Insperational! :rockon:

Yea I thought about that but after I posted so I guess I am in better shape than Jack,RIP. Never got to meet him but I always had a great deal of respect for him and his accomplishments especially towing the boat across the channel under the Golden Gate Bridge, Wow :thumbup:

I am beginning to plan my vacation, so I need to know a little more about the ride; is it in Northern Cal or Southern Cal, and is the actual meet up date on the 16th of July?

Or is their going to be a get together the night before like last year?

I need to know if I need to take any days off in the front end, as I plan to take the week off after the 16th, which leaves a lot of flexiblity.
