SoCal’s LD Riders Last Ride Of the Year

Wednesday Dec 30, Guadalupe, CA

It's hard to imagine why, butt, a third of LD riders live where it's frozen solid. Their motors have been "winterized" (a very scary word). It's a process akin to embalming where fluids are changed and the life force is removed and placed on a bench with a Battery Tender on it.

All these riders are just grumpier then hell and can be found hunched over their little computers 24/7, wrapped in a tattered blanket, wearing long-johns (with button rear flap), earmuffs, fingerless gloves and peckin' away. The "sit here, twist that" aggression is now directed solely at the little keyboard and what ever pops up on the screen. They're probably typing like they ride . . . some smooth and effortless . . . others herky-jerky, pecking all over the place. All the while they're mumbling, snortin', dozin’ off and sending each message off with a "smack" of the SEND NOW key yelling "Stuff this up yur candy ass “final drive” drivel ‘n smoke it." Then muttering "If I can't ride, nobody's gonna get the last word on me!" = :eek:

Another third can only get out on a rare good day. Some screw little metal studs into their tires, shoes, gloves and butt to maintain traction. And they ride till they can't take the pain any longer and they're always in danger of breaking off a very blue finger or black toe. Butt, just knowing they can still ride puts them into a moderately civil disposition. :^|

While the rest of us . . . well . . . life is good. Ride every day or at least every weekend. :^) The electrics are packed away somewhere. And we might even put it on if it gets down to the low-60's! Burrrrr :^))

The timing of this ride is different this year. It’s usually on a weekend between Christmas & New Years. But with Christmas on Friday Dec 24 and New Years on Friday, Jan 1, many (including myself) have weekend family obligations. So this year well see how many can show up in the middle of the week.

SoCal LD Rider's "Because We Cant" Ride-To-Eat

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

11:30 Noon - 2:00 PM

The Far Western Tavern

899 Guadalupe Street

or Highway 1 & Ninth Street

Guadalupe, California 93434

Phone: 805-343-2211

https://farwesterntavern.com/

GPS: N 34° 58.169'; W120° 34.401

This is a real, genuine "Santa Maria Style BBQ" steak house. The Far Western's claim to fame is their "Bull's Eye Steak" which is a prime cut rib eye steak. The 10 oz "Bull's Eye Steak" is ~$20 and the 14 oz is ~$26. Most luncheon items are in the $10-15 range.

This is not banquet food. Unlike many restaurants that require a prepaid guarantee and a limited group menu, we are ordering off the regular lunch menu and each steak is prepared as ordered. There will be "one check per table". Please bring a wad of cash in all faces (Jackson’s, Hamilton’s, Lincoln’s and Washington’s) to simplify the "one-check-per-table" paying.

Please be aware that service may be a little slower under these conditions. However this give you all more time for tire kickin'.

Northern California LD folks, this is half way between Orange County and the Bay Area! 225+ miles one-way! Not even a full tank for most of you guys. It's the perfect “last” ride-of-the-year ride.

RSVP: [email protected] for a head count. Please name all in your party,

Just for fun, include your start location and what you’re riding.

Senor Bustanut Joker, aka "El Muy Loco", Es Verdad! Fairlaner is grandly known in Los Robustos M/C as "El Rechoncho". I am trying to make this, having lived half of my life in Morro Bay, I love the Far Western Tavern: You absolutely cannot beat Santa Maria Barbecue! Just thought of something, djbill and dcarver are members and they need their Los Robustos nicknames!

You are a pickled egg.

Well crap. My first year with an FJR, but I have several court appearances that day. All the other DAs are on vacation that week, so I can't even call in sick.

Have a great time, all. If I can sneak away I will. I'm so close here in Bakersfield...
