Make it ez for all you old pharts..
Another SoCal LD Rider’s RTE -- Just because we can . . .
Well, here we go again! You can tell its December by the occasional nasty mood swings on the LD lists. And it's only gonna get worse!
It's hard to imagine why, butt, some of the 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 guys are just grumpier then hell and can be found hunched over their little computers, wearing ear muffs and 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' and sending each message off with a "smack" of the SEND NOW key yelling "Stuff this up yur candy ass 1800cc's and smoke it." Then muttering "If I can't rid
e, nobody's gonna get the last word on me!" =
Another third can only get out on a rare good day. Some screw little metal studs into their tires and shoes for 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 :^))
And so we have it . . .
SoCal LD Rider's "Meat & Greet" Ride
Saturday, December 29, 2007
11:30 Noon - 2:00 PM

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.
This is not banquet food. Unlike many restaurants that require a prepaid guarantee and a limited group menu, we are ordering off the regular menu and each steak is prepared as ordered. There will be one check per table.
Please be aware that service may be a little slower under these conditions.
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 end-of-the-year ride.
