Great Ride Report Don, Thank You Very Much! And finally a Forum article with a damn fine looking motorcycle photographed in it; es geht mir Gut, Herr Esteban Jorstin!

Yep, and like a cheap whore, she just loved to flop on her backside too! :lol:

Looks like you had the same entre ("madmike's new hairdo") Saturday night that I had Thursday at the restaurant across the street. Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmm, that was gooood! Making me hungry right now, but seeing hows I'm lookin old and fat in every pic, maybe I should stop eating for the next 6 months. Hmmm, wonder if that'd cure the OLD and the C.R.S. too?

Nice pics -- even in the fog. (Loved that you got a clear shot of the lighthouse without hiking all the way down. :lol: ) But where's the pic of the oil under that Harley in the motel parking lot? You failed even to look after we told you it was leaking oil?

Thanks to Bust for the dog tags he so thoughtfully made for us Californicators. He must still be pissed about the way you treated Dolly, but I wonder what she musta told him for him to have denigrated yer fornicatin' equipment on the one you got?

I didn't have that entre... to weird for this cowboy.. and yes, it was AMAZING that the fog had lifted on the lighthouse that day.. only 300 feet lower and it was brilliant sunshine - imagine that?
and about the Harley oil spotting? LOL, I actually kind of worried about it all night, but refused to give you hosers the glee of seeing me on hands and knees to check it out.. so I waited till you all left for the Saturday ride! :****: :rofl:

Hey, meant to ask - how does one lose the cover? I mean, is this something I need to worry about?

It's a loooong story. You don't want to know.

..He knows where it is......

DC, nice photo spread, Mrs. DC has a very good eye, loved the diner shot! That HAS to be the most eye catching BMW I've ever seen, awesome! If I ever drank the Koolaid, that one would be my choice. Looks like the west coast meet up worked out just fine, we're sorry we missed it, but my tail gunner is out of commission for a few more months.

 

[dcarver]

To some extent I agree Mike.

However I did Simon's knowing hes mangina was infected.. :lol:

Didn't know Fang was going or she'd have had one. 'T was a tough job sorting through the who's going and who wasn't..One cancel (***** assed Brian) and three adds after they were in the mail.

Actually, JB and Fang didn't make it.. was hoping to see them but nope, not to be..

Well, noooo, not unless you somehow scratch the paint and need to have it touched up.. got a story to tell, Jer?

Ruh-roh ollie, what happened?

 

[dcarver]

Hey, my Harley doesn't leave frilly-edged oil stains!

No Sireee, my Harley leaves big fat oil slicks, think Exxon Valdez big!

Hey, meant to ask - how does one lose the cover? I mean, is this something I need to worry about?

During the second half of a spirited 200 mile road on back roads of the Willamette Valley of Oregon, my left side case went missing. I purchased a used replacement, but the color did not match my beautiful black cherry wonder bike. I sent it to Garauld in New York for painting of the proper color, but he was unable to get it back to me before the Clan Gathering. Thanks to an item named bungie I was still able to make the trip. So there is no need to worry about a lost cover as long as you carry a bungie with you.

The oil puddle is getting larger...

What were you carrying in your left side case during that "spirited" ride? :twitchsmile:

Hey! Nice write up, Don. Looks like a kick in the pants.

Ari - what made this meet over the top was the lack of overhead. Hard to explain.

1. Meet here.

2. Show up if you want.

3. If you ain't happy with the venue and reservations, **** you, do your own thing (we did)

4. Have a great time with fellow riders when you want to be 'social'

Does it get better than this?

Great photos. Great gathering. Great template. I wonder if maybe the idea could catch on. Then it could be really popular and we could add prizes and contests and a bureaucracy and open a bank account and have have some people sit up high ....... never mind.

It seems to be a trend. Had the same conversations in Idaho. We did have really cool shirts. Next time I am going to try it on a motorcycle. :angry2:

Not a bad idea. Motorcycles can be a lot of fun.

Give it that try. You'll probably enjoy it.

WTF-0 :yahoo:

WTF, Ray? I read on here somewhere about a "cannon incident". You OK?
