BMWST.com's Death Valley Daze, Martin Luther King Weekend: January 18-21, 2008!

[BrianT]

Twenty really isn't cold.

( thank you Gerbings )

Yes it is.

Yea, but it's a dry 20F.

[drswift]

Got my room reservation. Got my Gerbings. Now, if I can just get my new brake lines and throttle cables on, and if the passes stay reasonably clear, then I hope to see a bunch of new faces on the 18th!

We'll be incredibly fortunate to have a dry 20F. I certainly don't want to see a wet 20F. Leave that stuff for the poor souls in Kansas, they're used to it by now.

Dave, you have reservations, you're IN dude! I'll add you to the list next update.

[gottago]

I guess I wasn't doin' a good enough job with the list. Nancy fired my ass!

I was just trying to think of a clever/creative way to say "in". I'm just going to have to give you TWO squeezes when I see ya for making you feel bad.

Couple more days before staffing fills for this time period.

 

Patience, young Padawn, patience!!

[Tank]

Just took a tour of Beatty with the Web Cam on the WeatherBonk @ 9:45 pm.

Mosty dark with patches of lights, some dim, some kinda bright.

Wind around 10 mph. Middle 20's

If one can listen closely, Laughter and Good Cheer can be heard from the parking lot of the Exchange Club

[stubble!]

[Tank]

Sebastian, I thought maybe that post would bring ya out Trying to get through this month is tough ( work work work ) anda even a dark WebCam with some lights had me pining for the open desert... looking forward to tipping a diet Dr Pepper with you Mate

[Firefight911]

So now Phil will feel outcast, forlorn, separated, etc.

 

 

 

 

'Nuf said!!! I have to work on the 19th. I'm out.

 

Hey, at least I've learned to not to commit to anything until after staffing jams me.

 

Now you need to convince Jamie to go without me!!! Seriously!!

[stubble!]

Aw hell, Phil. That's a real bummer. I was looking forward to seeing you and Jamie.

[OlGeezer]

'Nuf said!!! I have to work on the 19th. I'm out.

 

Hey, at least I've learned to not to commit to anything until after staffing jams me.

 

We're going to have to do something about that boss of yours.

 

Arghhh!

[KMG_365]

Now you need to convince Jamie to go without me!!!

No Worries, Phil--I'm still going!

 

I would say the right thing like "I'm sorry", or "that's too bad", or "maybe next time", but I've learned not to get my hopes up any more, it just softens the blow and I can then just be amazed and happy if you ever do show up to a gathering again.

Hey Jamie, (Hot Jamie!!!!)

Come on down...

Someone's got to spend all the money Beast is earning. It might as well be Beauty!

Someone has to enjoy their life. With Beast working himself to death, it might as well be Beauty!

Someone's got to rub it in to Beast... Might as well be Beauty!

Looking forward to seeing you Beauty!

 

(and Phil, just in case you're confused... Phil=Beast, Hot Jamie=Beauty!)

[Tank]

Seriously ,I'll come by and ride with Hot Jamie. A few of us are meeting in Bakersfield and than going on..... But if the roads are clear, Jamie an I and whoever joins us could do the 395 south........ Come on Jamie, ya know you want to go..... don't ya?

[Heck]

So now Phil will feel outcast, forlorn, separated, etc.

 

'Nuf said!!! I have to work on the 19th. I'm out.

 

Damm! I'm Psychic!! I hate it when I do that.....

Hedstrom

 

 

Sometime around 8:30-9:00 AM,no sense in leaving too early!

Kinda depends on what time the Bakersfield bunch is gonna get going.

 

Might do a late breakfast run to Olancha then head over thru the Panimints from there, I'll post more when time gets a little closer.

 

Be good to meet ya

[FrankG]

Jaime,

 

Is everyone invited? I went to Death Valley a few years ago by myself and really loved the area (in the early spring). I had a 2002 LT until September when I traded for a RT. A friend of mine just purchased a 2005 LT. We were thinking about coming down but would be newcomers to the group.

[FrankG]

Frank

[Tank]

[flyingreg]

Finally got around to book the room and commit to the ride. Looking forward to meet new friends and visit DV.

 

Hakan & Marie

Welcome aboard! So that I can add you to the list, will there be one or two riding from Santa Clarita?

[flyingreg]

OK, Steve,

 

Thanks,

 

I just made a room reservation. I got one of two remaining rooms at the hotel. I hope to see you.

 

Frank

Hey Frank, welcome aboard! Noobs are always welcome. If there never were a noob, this group wouldn't exist. We've all been a noob once. I'll add you to the list next update.

[AdventurePoser]

OK, Steve,

 

Thanks,

 

I just made a room reservation. I got one of two remaining rooms at the hotel. I hope to see you.

 

Frank

 

Glad you are going up! I might be there, or not. Don't know yet. Still, make sure you introduce yourself to all the guys and ladies. They will make you feel at home.

 

Steve in So Cal

[flyingreg]

Hey Dude!! Maybe you missed it from the second page or so, but as I said:

 

Hey COOL--look at all the newbies coming out of the woodwork!

 

You guys be sure to just jump in and introduce yourselves around. As you've seen, it's a very friendly group and everybody's always welcome--newbies especially so!!

Is it January yet??

[JerryMather]

Well ....... I finally picked up my KRS from the dealer yesterday having just completed all the repairs to it due to that falling tree limb up at Randy's place in Torrey last Sept.

 

So, it's looking as if I'll be joining you knuckleheads on this one as long as it's not as cold as last year.

It was only 11 degrees last year. Get yur panties on and lets moto. Luv Wurty

Hey! You folks said it wasn't going to be any colder than 20. Now you're saying it could be 11?

What have I gotten myself into?

Guaranteed to be a dry 11F if it gets that cold. Snow is dry isn't it?

This is getting close to being deemed as competition with the White Stag Rally.

Jamie is right (for a change...)

 

We all like nooBs, they taste like chiggen'

 

Even Wurty likes Chiggin' sometimes when the sheep aren't available...
