On vacation in Tucson, 90 here today. Headed to Mexico for three days. Will try to bring some heat back for you Ray

I'm meeting up with Allen on Friday the 13th at Sacramento Motorcycle Rentals around noon and will tow him around on some back roads up to Bugnatr's in Grass Valley. If anyone is so inclined to join in the fun, please do! B)

 

[gregory]

The weather gods need to get their **** together.

Oh they got it together Ray. Almost 70 here today, tomorrow, back to rain and 50's. Spring is trying to make an appearance, just not quickly enough!

Weather forecasts are looking up! Pizza, pizza, pizza...

Hope your right Sam.

I would hate to show up in the truck.

 

[Bugnatr]

Forecast is looking better for Friday and Saturday anyway. I never trust a forecast more than 3 days out in the winter. La Pine I'd say what Ray, 3 hours?

 

[HIGHLANDER]

More like 5 hours I’d guess ?

Snow and 40 degrees Thursday and cloudy 58 on Saturday?

 

[FJRay]

3 hrs is about right. I'll just put the studded car tire on the spare wheel and go for it.

I think it looks doable.

I just pulled the Bushtec out of hibernation so I'm pretty sure it's happening. It all depends on the house sitter at this point.

Just got back from a week down south, enjoying sunshine and cerveza's on the beach in Mexico. Beautiful day here, but I am hearing rumblings of wet and cold from the weather minions.

Looks like it may be a bit misty and cool, but nothing an intrepid and properly attired FJR pilot can't handle. Gotta try out the new RDL that we put on last month.

See you all Saturday. Ride safe and bring warm and dry thoughts.

 

[Bugnatr]

Saturday is dry so far. You should have been here Friday when we had 5 inches of rain. Mexico sucks

 

[Bugnatr]

Forecast is getting better everyday. Sun and close to 60 on Saturday

They are talking 8-18 inches of snow on the mountain tonight. I hope we don't get to much here. I'll make a decision tomorrow afternoon.

 

[gregory]

Fingers crossed for a great day of riding

Yeah this is a chilly storm, few flurries here late tonight but sun Friday and Saturday

Looks like we are threading the weather needle!

[FJRay]

Had an inch of snow in the driveway this morning but it looks like we will have a small weather window Friday thru Sunday afternoon. I'll wait till mid to late morning to leave here.

I'm assuming the folks at the Pizza joint are expecting an invasion.

I plan on heading south on 395 Saturday morning and taking hwy 70 west to 89 and then north to lunch. anybody know of road issues????
