Official January 2006 Death Valley Ride Announcement!!

[pdegnan]

Gleno, you have the 2nd room, we'll keep it in my name for now, and you can see me at check-in.

 

Duc-st, not to worry, I am pretty sureI have one more available due to a dupe reservation I think I found on the list they sent me, I will know tomorrow and post here or pm you the results.

[Tank]

Duc_st has a room

[Laney]

A-a-a-a-a-men. Finally...

 

And just for the record, I'm not afraid of Arrogant Bastards, single OR double -- I'm bringing along some pretty arrogant company.

 

[Gleno]

Gleno, you have the 2nd room, we'll keep it in my name for now, and you can see me at check-in.

 

 

Splendid. I gots a thing for tall toilets.

[1st Shirt]

Gleno;

Really glad your gonna make it. And please remind me about your sign off when I see you. I have a comment, but the mod's would probably bar me from the site if I posted it!

[barryNmarin]

I just spoke yo the Longstreet as of 11am and they have two handicapped rooms still available. The rooms have one kingsized bed, otherwise everything is jst a little closer to the ground .....which could be a good thing depending on how much you drank before crawling into bed!

[flyingreg]

OK, I just released my king suite back to the hotel. If someone needs a king suite facing the lagoon, it is open. I will be sharing a room with one of our group. Sorry Graydude, you'll have to find another sex bunny for this outing.

[Dinkee]

IN! IN!

Amen Amen!

(Weather permitting, of course!)

 

Joel and Heidi

and Team Schnauzer!

 

can't believe i am going to the desert. yikes.. the things i'll do to make lawyer-boy happy.

[BeniciaRT_GT]

Sorry Graydude, you'll have to find another sex bunny for this outing.

 

Ohhhh Todd...........

 

It looks like I'll be ummmm: available

 

A nice slooooow smell the roses ride will warm me up properly I think!

 

(Just make sure to bring lots of Arrogant Bastard)

[Gleno]

 

(Just make sure to bring lots of Arrogant Bastard)

 

Never a shortage of arrogant bastards at these partays.

[Scott A]

If there are any rooms left, I'll take it.

 

If not, I'll tent.

[Gleno]

If there are any rooms left, I'll take it.

 

If not, I'll tent.

 

Scott if the room Phil is holding for me has 2 beds....you gots a roomie.

 

Odd how there's 3 or 4 Vegas guys on here, and I've yet to meet any of them that I'm aware of.

[KMG_365]

IN! IN!

Amen Amen!

(Weather permitting, of course!)

 

Joel and Heidi

and Team Schnauzer!

 

can't believe i am going to the desert. yikes.. the things i'll do to make lawyer-boy happy.

 

All Riiiiiiight!!!!!! Man, that Joel is one lucky so-and-so!!

 

We'll have to give you a "special" desert tour to show you the beauty and majesty of what looks at first to be just a barren wasteland! As a former California State Park ranger at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, that's Leslie's specialty!

[graydude]

Hey, hey, hey.. I'm right hear you know. Just cause Greg stood me up does not mean I'm desperate for a spoon'in buddy. I have my standards. Granted, Arrogrant Bastard does tend to lower them however but I still have standards. So, Richard..look'in sweet!

[BeniciaRT_GT]

I've seen your so called standards and I know for a fact if something doesn't meet your standards, you lower them!!!

 

here is to spooning among friends

[ericfoerster]

I am begging the boss for the week off. I can't sit here watch all my buddies ride Death Valley and then READ a ride report

 

I'd rather make the RIDE report

 

I sure hope I don't have to quit another job

[Marty Hill]

Eric,

It's killing me as well.

[Whip]

Eric

 

What his #..... I'll talk to him...you won't have to quit....but I would start looking for a new job.

 

Larry

[ericfoerster]

I'll talk to him...you won't have to quit....but I would start looking for a new job.

 

Thanks Larry...thats what I like about this board. Always someone willing to "help" you out

[Dennis Andress]

I sure hope I don't have to quit another job

 

A man with his priorities straight.

Bring the mighty Sixxer bro. There's a 130 mph, palm down sweeper waiting for both of us.

[Joel]

Man, that Joel is one lucky so-and-so!!

 

True dat!

 

Lucky for Heidi, I'm only a part-time Arrogant Bastard.

[ghaverkamp]

Lucky for Heidi, I'm only a part-time Arrogant Bastard.

 

Can a lawyer be an arrogant bastard only part of the time? I've got so much to learn...

[Joel]

Can a lawyer be an arrogant bastard only part of the time? I've got so much to learn...

 

Ah, Grasshopper, there's a course available. Of course, it's a post-graduate elective, which explains why so many don't take it.

I bet we could pass the hat and make sure it doesn't cost Greg a thing to take it . . . but I guess you can only lead the horse to water . . .

Experience has taught me that lawyers argue and attorneys negotiate....

[norah]

 

Splendid. I gots a thing for tall toilets.

 

Hey Gleno,

 

Yeah, you are always too much!! I'm still laughing. Glad to know that your going to make it....see ya there!!

I'm pretty sure even lawyers have to sleep SOMETIME!

[Bob Palin]

I'm pretty sure even lawyers have to sleep SOMETIME!

Yes but they still dream of torts, and thus are able to continue billing.

[Joel]

Watch for my upcoming book Ride Like a Girl – The Easy Alternative to Riding Smart!

 

Will you be bringing advance copies to DVD? I'd like one, autographed, "To Ophra ..."

[Laney]

Ophra gets a personalized autograph whether the book's ready or not!

 

If I can't bring advance copies, we can go through a few of the lessons while we're there.

 

Maybe a quick run-through on one of my favorites: Double-Dropping - How to Dump Two Bikes at Once.

[ArizonaAl]

Phil, I have a friend here in AZ who will take a room if one is available or will look to share one otherwise--- Please lets start a list of what comes up--- We always put it together, even if it includes a sleeping bag or two. Nobody needs to be left out!

[1st Shirt]

This weekend I told Sun-joo that the Longstreet had canceled Karaoke on Friday night and instead would have a band both nights. Her reply

 

Boycott! Boycott! Boycott! She is very disappointed that the hotel had done this. Band one night, o.k. But both nights and no chance to hear the likes of "Arizona Al and the Highwaymen" or "PhillyFlash and the Pretenders" has got her in a funk. Can't we do something about this? Seems to me the hotel would prefer to make us happy and keep us in the bar. A band both nights just does not appeal to us. For those in charge - let's vote. Band both nights, or KARAOKE and the sultry stylings of "Jamie and the Jets?"

[GS_George]

Bob, when your wife hears the golden vocal chords of Jack Reeves on Friday night, she'll forget all about Carry Oh Key.

[Tank]

Sun-Joo... Don't forget Laney and the Easy Alternatives.

[Bob Palin]

Sun-Joo... Don't forget Laney and the Easy Alternatives.

This really needs to be a seperate thread, could be a lot of fun...

[KMG_365]

Hey kids!

Shake it loose together,

The Longstreet's showing somethin' that's been known to change the weather--

We'll quaff the foamy draught tonight, so stick around!

You're gonna hear eclectic mewling--solid bawls of sound!

Say, Laney and Killer have you heard them yet? OH! But they're so spaced out!

J-, J-, J-, J-, J-, Jamie and the Jets!

OH! But he's weird and they're wonderful!

Oh, Jamie: he's-a really queer!

He's got some high-heeled boots, a deerskin suit, y'know I read it on the Internet . . . . Oh--whoa!

J-, J-, J-, Jamie and the Jets!

 

[Laney]

Somebody needs to do a term paper on the relationship between creativity and Arrogant Bastard Ale...

 

(Thanks, Jamie, remind me never to read one of your posts again while I'm drinking Gatorade! )

[steve404]

"Hey kids!

... Jamie and the Jets!"

And I was concerned about Richard, Nevada, his beer, and the band.

My vote would go for first night band only.

[Joel]

Looks like somebody already started.

 

Encore!

Actually, I got stuck at work on this beautiful weekend. I'm on the tail-end of a busy 48 hour shift so this is as good as it gets! . . . it goes quickly downhill from here.

[pdegnan]

Eric, great to have you along - decided to quit the job after all, huh

 

What's this Gleno says about a GIXXER, though?? Have you defected from the GS to the WILD SIDE???

 

Look forward to seeing you.

[Marty Hill]

This is killing me. Have a wonderful time!
