Nor Cal Saturday Lunch Ride

I was thinking that it's time for all the Nor Cal F6B riders to get together for a little ride. Meet up for Coffee, take a little ride to a nice lunch stop, check out each others mods, complain about the bad paint, and just have a nice get together.

Ok, here are the details:

DATE: Saturday November 9th, 2013

TIME: 9 AM

LOCATION: Starbucks, 458 Howe Ave, Sacramento, CA 95825

If you're interested, please sign up below so we can see how many to expect. Suggestions for a lunch stop would also be ok.

See you all there.

Thanks for getting the ball going on this, Phil. Count me in. You picked the perfect day on my calendar.

I have some potential lunch ideas. "Guisti's" on the delta in Walnut Grove is an institution and the food is great. Another on the delta is "Fosters Big Horn" in Rio Vista. Also an institution, it's filled with the original owners big game trophies. Going the other way to booming downtown Volcano, there is the general store with it's brick oven for doing burgers and also the old hotel. I don't think they're seasonal. I'm not fussy at all where we go, as long as we get together to enjoy the company and to ride. Thanks again. Bruce

I've been to Foster's! It's cool but a little eerie. My brother in-law lives near San Jose and we camped out at Brannan Island State Park. It was a family trip so I didn't have the bike.

You can count me in also, as for lunch I am open to most anything. I have been to Foster's also, and yes it is a bit weird to have all of those eye's looking down at you while you're eating. Some of my old group and I took a 'Fall Color' ride up 16 to Jackson, had breakfast at Mel's, and then did the 88>89>50 ride back to Placerville and 49 into Auburn last week. The Foothills are awesome this time of year, but a bit cool.

What a pleasant surprise when Miles pulled up this morning to join our little group ride! Good to see Bruce and Phil again, and meeting Jesse. I'm waiting patiently for the posting of the photo taken by "Tall Red" (Phil's wife Mary). Fantastic Autumn weather, wonderful day!

Nor Cal Lunch Ride

Good to see everyone again, meet Jesse, and what a surprise....Sparky! It was good to see him and the bike up and running again. We had a really nice meet-up for coffee and then a great ride up in the foothills. Afterwards, my local BMW riding club invited us to a backyard BBQ. Great time all around! We will have to do this again real soon!

Here are several photos from today.Attachment 2981 Attachment 2982 Attachment 2983

Thanks to Phil for putting together a great day. He arranged perfect sunny weather with temps starting in the high 40's and rising to the low 70's. It was really good be surprised by Miles and to see him back in fine form. His adventure could have had a much less happy outcome. Riding the Sierra foothills with good folks on our F6Bs, priceless.

Just letting the Eldorado Hills Gang (all of them are related to the original Hole in the Wall gang), that I made it home safely, at 1:00 pm on Sunday. :motorcycle2:

Oh...thank goodness for Gerbing Heated Clothing. It got down to 27 degrees today in southern Oregon, in a freezing fog. I was warm and toasty.

Glad to hear that your ride back went well. I guess the "lightning season" is over.

All kidding aside, it was good to see you again and good to see that you are recovering well. It was a real surprise to see you show up for our informal little get together. You're welcome back any time.

That idea has some potential. Worth thinking about come spring.

Mid-state weekend

I think a mid-state ride weekend would be a great idea. I will be glad to put together a plan for March or April.

With your event planning abilities, Phil, it would be a guaranteed success. Let me know what I could do to help. I'm good at fetching and toting.

Maybe...Solvang, CA.

Here is just an idea...maybe have the joint California gathering in Solvang, CA. It is a little closer to the south, than the north, but it is a fun town. Lots of places to eat, places to sleep, and other things to see. Good riding roads around there...if a person wanted to ride...after having already ridden to there.

Just an idea... :motorcycle2:

Paso Robles - San Luis Obispo is about 1/2 way. Good roads and scenery, plenty of places to stay, some fine restaurants........so many places, so little time......

Great place to ride,lots of great places to eat.Spent my college years there at Cal Poly.Lived in Morro Bay and San Luis at different times.Would love to go back as it has been 20 Years since I have last visited.Plus people could ride North or South on the coast back home.

I also suggested San Luis Obispo, and that area, to Phil in a PM. Seems to be a popular idea. Other mid-point destinations such as Visalia probably wouldn't generate the same enthusiasm.

SLO

I concur with my colleagues. S.L.O. would be a good place. It could be the F6B NorCal/SoCal SLO gathering :motorcycle2:

Let's go INLAND

Phil, Greg, Bruce, and the whole darn gang....what if you and the SoCal guys decided to go INLAND, so that you could include the riders from Arizona and Nevada ??????

Just an idea, but if you went inland...maybe Beatty, NV., or Lone Pine, CA., or...something of that nature, you get into an area that will allow riders from two other states to also particpate. For several years we have held LD rallies in Beatty, and it is a lot less expensive there, than in SLO. Good roads to play on, decent restaurants, a bordello or two, etc, etc, etc.

Just give that some thought, for maybe a joint...SouthWest F6B Rally. :clap2: :cheers: :alc: :biker: :301: :icon_stooge: :motorcycle2:
