Western FJR Riders Roundup

[Tyler]

What route (and days) are you guys taking from SF to Reno? I might hook up with you for the ride over.

Yeah, inquiring minds want to know.

We're going to be in Yuba City the day and night before this shindig starts. Will probably take HWY 20 to Browns Valley, then Marysville Laporte Road to Laporte, Laporte Quincy Road to Quincy and then 70 from Quincy East then down to Sparks via 395.

Less than 200 miles this way, the road from Browns Valley to Quincy are awesome.

Could wait for some to join us in Yuba City if they want to go together.

Hey John, I think I'll recon Laporte road this weekend on my 990. Only been on it once this year and that is not enough.

Just making sure it's still there

I'd hate to think it had blown away in your drought, We are getting pounded with rain in Eastern SD, 19' in Sioux Falls since June 1st!

Well said, I am with OM on this matter!

Damn phone hasn't rung for work since we got back from GOTC. If it doesn't perk up we won't be there either.

what, you need another motobike to start on?

I know a couple of GOTC attendees who might be sending you some work soon.

Greg, PM me your cell phone # and we can talk on the 9th.

We can adjust rendezvous time as needed, may be best to meet in Brownsville, there is a Gas Station and was a cafe there.

Jul 13 52° 90° 43° (1995) 100° (2005) 0.01" NA

Here is the Weather we can expect for the Western FJR Riders Roundup: 90F high and 52F low! It will be much cooler up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains!

 

[beemerdons]

It may be hot there in Sparks, but I know one of the PNW boys who'll have no trouble staying cool ….Niehart is one cool cat Daddy-O from the Specific Northwet who'll stay as cool as a cucumber, especially around the Ladies! jes' sayin' and nuff said!

 

[Bokerfork]

Waah waah waah. Jeez some of these folk have been whining about sub zero temps for 9 months. OOOOOOH no it's still snowing outside was all I'd heard since last August.

Suddenly, the possibility of 90 degree temps has everyone running for the hills(sierras)? Some of you need to sell that bike and get yourselves an RV. YOU know who you are.

Not you Zonies of course. (well, maybe the bmw Zonies.)

[Old Michael]

Some of you need to sell that bike and get yourselves an RV.

On a related topic, I was just checking the travel reviews for the Western Village Inn and Casino. It looks like a really great establishment, and most reviews are very positive.

Bugnatr and Beemerdons should be commended for their efforts and enthusiasm.

This may just turn out to be a real hoot of a gathering,

…..unless it's too hot.

 

[wheatonFJR]

It was 99 degrees in SC today. Felt balmy.

Much better than that 35 degrees and rain crap

 

[dcarver]

Too hot means all the natives are topless, yes?
