Crazy_Canuck Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 The food was Great and the fellowship even better. Even though I live in Bakersfield I think I have eaten Basque food once and that was 15 years ago. I really enjoyed it this time and even tried some of the pickeled cow tongue. Yuck!!!! It was good to see old and new faces. Mr Duck, Cornelius (spelling?)flyinggreg and I rode to Glenville and then up into Lake Isabella. Great ride and great company. The sad thing of it all is that I forgot my stinkin camera so sorry no pics.
AdventurePoser Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Man, I sure hope you decide to put one of these together again.... Steve
flyingreg Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Man, I sure hope you decide to put one of these together again.... Steve You bet we will! I hope you can make the next one.
Ponderosa Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Sorry I couldn't make it, I had to go pick up a Ducati up north. Next ride I'm in, this has been a crazy summer being gone and all.
flyingreg Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Hey, look who the cat dragged in. You are one hard cat to nail down in one spot. Get a hold of me when you want to do a little riding. Rob and I are always looking for someone to chase down the backroads.
Ponderosa Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Will do. Went for 200 miles Sunday afternoon and shredded the rear tire. It's down to the cords so I ordered a new tire tonight. I won't be able to go until I get it changed and get back from Alabama. Andrew is due back from Iraq and we want to go and see him. Middle of Nov. and I'm going riding!
CoarsegoldKid Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 So where is this Basque restaurant. My wife wants to go.
Crazy_Canuck Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 Where are the pictures??????? Sheesh Jamie (hot/nerdy?) had a camera maybe he can post some?
Crazy_Canuck Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 So where is this Basque restaurant. My wife wants to go. Do a search on "Bakersfield and Basque" in Ride and Events section, it will have a lot good info there. I would insert a link if I knew how. Hope that helps.

KMG_365 Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Well, there's not much to tell and not a whole lot of documentation was done, but okay . . . here's a few pics: The A-Team gets ready to wrench! L-R: "Stan_Walker", "mrduck", "Cornelis", "leikam", "BeniciaRT_GT" and "bmweerman" (I'm taking the pic). Some of us took a break to meet a few others for lunch: L-R: "bonkorama", "leikam", "mrduck", "Crazy_Canuck", "flyingreg", "Cornelis", "BeniciaRT_GT", "KMG_365". . . . and Rob seemed to REALLY like the tongue!
Duke55 Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Its great to see "mrduck back in the saddle. If he is riding with "corny" he is healthy. Look forward to seeing you guys in DV.
AdventurePoser Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 I am really glad that you guys could "combine" the two separate things happening in Bakersfield. Next time I really hope to be there. I find the idea of pickled tongue fascinating. As a kid we always ate pickled pigs feet. Must have been a regional thing... Steve in So Cal
flyingreg Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 So where is this Basque restaurant. My wife wants to go. It is easy to find just off the 99 at Rosedale Hwy (58). Benji's has some of the best Basque food around. There are several excellent Basque restaurants, the best in the nation actually. Benji's, Woolgrower's, and Narducci's come to mind. Look HERE for a guide to Basque food.
CoarsegoldKid Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks. I found the listings for all of them. Of course I wanted to know which one you'll went to. Maybe tomorrow I'll pull it off and get down there.
