Rides, gatherings, rallys.... Any planned for left coast?

Post by cranky »

I see that our current rides scheduled are only for the right side of the country, are
there any planned, or could happen on the left side of the country?

'fraid my current riding plans are for the left of the Rockies.... If I manage to
see everything on this 1/3 of the country, I might consider how the "other 2/3"
lives!!!! GBG Thanks!!!!

Just trying to see if any other plans, ideas, thoughts, wants, etc.... are out there......

Well you have that NorCal group down your way they do a lot of runs everywhere. Have you contacted them? I think Don Medina is over in Half Moon Bay. Give him a shout. Left Coast is a funny expression. I think Commie Coast is funnier and maybe more appropriate.....comrade Cranky!

The AVA held a regional rally few years back in NE Oregon. Couldn't make it bike was apart. You live in probably one of the best locations in the US for motorcycle riding. Maybe see if there is interest in a regional rally for us left coasters.

I'm also a member of VROC, the Vulcan line of products, and I've been able to cover almost all the
roads in central KalEfornYa!!! GBG

That and my PGR rides/missions for fallen veterans, I've covered the central part quite well,
plus the VROC rallies, I've been to/thru all the western states west of the Rockies, but
well, with my memory, I can go again!!! GBG

Just trying to make sure I haven't overlooked anything!!! :thanks: for the responses!!!!!!!!

Cranky;
Hank here, met you at Alices when Don Medina came back to town coupla months ago. In this weather we have been having lately, I'm not to keen on any riding, but when it dries out a little, I'll ride with you, also, I think Hugh Thompson in Stockton might also.

Sad to say , there aren't many of us left now........We'll have to see what happens when it stops being wet!

:thanks: for the post! No, I'm not talkin' about now, later when we get back to "sane" weather!!! GBG

I have a good friend in Stockton that exemplifies ride to eat!!! If'n there is a worthwhile food place
within X miles, bet he knows it!!! GBG He's has some back issues and it's slowed him
down a bunch, but in past days he led rides all over Marin county back roads!!! Goat trails, more like
it!!! Just tryin' to see if anyone is alive out there!!

I remember Joel from a meet and greet at Alice's a while back, he mentioned in a NORCAL post he wanted to
run 160 and 6 to/from Indiana, That is just a tad past the Rockies... GBG I was bored and raised in Illinois, have
NO interest in mid-central states..... at this time..... desperate measures take precedence!!!! GBG

NEVER say never!!!! 160 and 6 look like really nice roads!!! I am NOT a interstate fan..... I've crossed
over to Nev many times, only take 80 in emergency times!!! I like 50!!!! Out in the middle of NO where!!!

.. just going stir crazy in Jan..... sigh.... I hafta dream about good weather and heading out!!!! :thanks: for the post!!!
