BeniciaRT_GT Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 As my other post stated, I'm gonna try to do a 50CC. I'm starting off tomorrow at around 07:00 PST. I don't have faith in my knees or butt, but I'll never do one if I don't try!!! So...to make this fun for everyone, I'm posting my ph. number in the hopes of getting a few calls to get some "love" from the board to spur me on and help keep me awake! If you are bored, as I will probably be, give me a ring. (I'll even tell you what I'm wearing under the moto suit ) (6 fiver ohhh) ate too six - 0378. Keep me amused, and even though I'll never remember who called, you can pretend you pushed a below average guy into mediocrity if I finish in time!!! And once I'm famous, you can pretend you knew me!!! I'll let you know when/if I get to Florida! Link to comment
KMG_365 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'll be escorting him to the beach tomorrow morning on my way to work and I'll see if I get a chance to call in during my shift tomorrow. Remember, his new phone doesn't give him any clue that you've called until you say something (it just picks up automatically), so if it stops ringing be sure to try to get his attention by saying something before you just hang up. He did a ride-in at Corbin on his way down and he says it's better than stock, but he's sore already and sits a bit lower so his knees are also now an issue. Y'know, Leslie did it on her first try, so we'll see how much of a stud he REALLY is! (I hope he doesn't see this until he gets home!! ) Link to comment
BeniciaRT_GT Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 I heard that!!! Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I bet you two school girls are sitting next to each other on the couch!!!!!! Richard, I am truly bummed that my schedule wouldn't align with yours. I couldn't (well, actually, I could) imagine having a better time than to do this goal ride of mine with you!! Ride strong my good friend! I will harrass you often on your journey. Better still, I hope to post your new saddle bag mount picture by the time you get back!!!! Hey, how is Daphne doing???? (inside joke to be made very public soon!!!) Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 He did a ride-in at Corbin on his way down and he says it's better than stock, but he's sore already and sits a bit lower so his knees are also now an issue. Any way to pick up a beaded seat cover in-rote? The added height would help the knees & 7 million taxi drivers with happy butts cant be wrong Go Richard-GO Link to comment
Calvin (no socks) Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Richard, I'm waiting for you in Neptune Beach with a catchers mitt... c'mon... Take I-10 to Jacksonville and take Atlantic Boulevard to the ocean... see you there! Link to comment
BFish Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 what is your ETA in jax if all goes according to plan? Link to comment
Whip Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I wish I was home so I could ride with ya a while.......be carefull through San Antonio.....traffic and detours all through town on I-10.... Whip Link to comment
axabmw Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Got any breaks planned What time? So I don't interrupt an intentional sleep. Someone give me a time zone check now please (ie what time is it PST now) It's 12.34 (noon) here now Link to comment
tallman Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Get an Airhawk now. It'll save your butt. Don't overinflate it, butt it'll relieve pressure points. Good luck . Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well, I'd call now, but it looks as if you're not leaving for another 15 minutes... Hopefully you started putting your gloves on 10 minutes ago. Good luck. Link to comment
Les is more Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Richard set a departure time of 6:15 PST and rode off promptly at 6:30. Link to comment
Carnadero Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm starting off tomorrow at around 07:00 PST. Good luck, and don't push it if you don't have to. Stop when you need to stop, and rest when you need rest. If you don't make the time, it's no big deal. Safety first. Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I wish I was home so I could ride with ya a while.......be carefull through San Antonio.....traffic and detours all through town on I-10.... Whip It might be too late for him to see this ... but on both my coast-to-coast rides (50CC in 2005, 100CCC in 2006), I used 1604 to detour all the way around San Antonio proper. Don't know how much time it saved me, but I've driven around I-10 and the I-410 loop around San Antonio enough to know I didn't want to risk that. Hope this help, and ride safe. Rubber down!

StretchMark Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Just talked to Bizarro Boy. Richard is through Yuma, about 100 miles to Tuscon. Sounds like he's having a good time so far. He's received several calls already including one from Boffin across the pond. Good Luck Richard! If anyone else talks to him, give us an update on his progress. Link to comment
GelStra Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I was just thinking of calling. I'll wait a bit since you've just revived him. Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Talked to Richard about 30 minutes ago. Sounds good/why not, he just started. Link to comment
azkaisr Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Just left him a voicemail telling him to get out of Arizona. He has some nerve riding by with me stuck in Kansas City. I may have to be nicer to Phil now just to spite him. Hope he is doing good! Kaisr Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 11:19. Just getting off the phone... It rang twice while I was talking to him. He's been informed of the 1604 loop detour around San Antonio and currently was just outside of Tuscon. 80-something moving average and low seventies overall average. Link to comment
ericfoerster Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 UPDATE: he is right where Boney said he is That was me on the other line. Said he is feeling great GO RICHARD GO Link to comment
Gleno Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I spoke to him at 7:45 am. He mentioned something about a fat woman, a Waffle House, some Jack Daniels and an innertube. He then mentioned a request for someone to powder his hiney in Central Texas. Good luck homie. Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Just got home and saw the updates. Some serious love running around this board!!! Very cool. I think I'll call him in a bit. Go Richard Go!! California is cheering your leaving!!! Tom, no niceties expected, Richard will just take advantage of you! Hugs and kisses!! Spite ME will ya!! Link to comment
KMG_365 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Update at 13:30 hours MST (20:30 hours GMT/CUT. MST=GMT/CUT -7 hours): gassing up just outside of Tucson, AZ on schedule and doing great. I caught him stopped so I got off the phone quickly, but he says everything is going well! His original plan was to put in about 900-1000 miles today to about Junction, TX or so and get a room around midnight CST (GMT/CUT-6 hours) so don't call him after then, but up until midnight CST he might be getting tired and could use some company. GO, RICHARD, GO!!!!!! Link to comment
Whip Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Junction is 100 miles from my house....I'll call him...my dogs would love to have a visitor around 2am..... Whip BTW.....1604 is a mess. I better call him....again. *********UPDATE************* All is well....with Mr. Moisty. My dogs may have company tonight. Link to comment
TNT Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Just talk five min ago, all is good. Sounds good at this point. We talk for like six or so. told him I will call tonight! Link to comment
Huzband Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'll call him tomorrow evening & hope to get an ETA from him. I'd like to meet him at the beach along with Calvin. BTW, does anyone know if he established a contact for his arrival? Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I sent him Calvin's cell #. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 1905 EST, Just talked to him and he's about 60 miles inside the NM border. I hope I get to meet him while he's here in town! Link to comment
roadscholar Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I just talked to him also, 7:40 E, so far making good time, almost to El Paso. If he hangs around here long enough, maybe some of us can meet him for dinner Thurs. He said it depends on his butt. Link to comment
norah Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Just talked to him (1900) hours - he's in good spirits and is at mile marker 122 in New Mexico on the I-10. He's loven all the support and cheers from everyone!! Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Talked to him about an hour ago. Hmmm, odd!!! He seemed to REALLY enjoy the blonde cow in a skirt. That is one odd fellow!!!! He is feeling VERY motivated and encouraged by the phone calls he has been receiving!!! He states that he went into this without a heck of a lot of confidence that he actually could get the job done, however, he is now thinking he can get it done. (And the Beatles can be heard in the background) Ooooh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends . . . Go Richard!!! Keep the wig in the tank bag and the skirt tied down. He states he avoided a turning around LEO by having to get off the freeway for fuel!!! Seems as though the 80mph speed limit became 65mph without his realizing it as he passed through a construction zone. Oh, and he wants everyone to know that he has his sheep(skin) with him!! BBAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Link to comment
Gleno Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Okay...time for some fun. I called the Texas Dept of Safety (HP) and gave them his full description, make, model, color, tag#, and whereabouts...as well as his phone #. They are in. for a little bit of fun. Go me. Link to comment

Stir Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 just talked to Richard. He is in El Paso Texas. Keep the calls coming. He wants to keep going until midnight. Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The time is 10:33 pacific standard. Or 12:33 Flying Richard. He's near Ozona on I-10 about 200 miles out of San Antonio. In good spirits but cold- 28 degrees. He says the camelback is only serving ice cubes. 1030 miles so far. He's keeping himself busy by playing tag with the LEO's. Link to comment
Heck Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 1030 / 16 hrs = 64.4 MPH average... Great average time- He'll get a rest break at this pace... Go Richard!!!! Link to comment

Whip Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I just got a report from the man that takes care of my dogs. All five dogs were in bed with Richard and they didn't want to go out or eat. They didn't want to leave Richard. I wish he had taken a picture. He had to bribe them with dog treats to get them to go out. Richard whenever you wake up call me. Whip Link to comment
