gottago Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Speaking of DRs. I am listing mine for sale and thought I'd give you guys first crack at it in case some of you hooligans are thinking about getting dirty. It's a 2000 650DR with a big Acerbis tank, racks for soft bags, lowered pegs(original included),an extra seat(low). Low mileage. $3000. That's about what I have in it. Anyway Gar said he could bring it to the party if anyone is seriously interested. Link to comment
RT Russ Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Starting to get even more excited for this Are there multiple route/rides happening Saturday as in the past? I don't believe I have seen any posted routes (but did not look back through the first 15 pages). What's the plan man? Russ Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Well Russ the plan is you are free to ride wherever you want. Point the bike in any direction of your choosing and you can't go wrong. Try to get lost is always fun. As always folks will breakout into small groups. If you bring a map I'll be happy to assist you in a good all day sucker. Here is a list of routes I made a few years back. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uhnI_cQ_t5p_JrlNXOYgAxawAloJJVQ14I1zHv_b69Y/edit Link to comment

CoarsegoldKid Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 I don't use Chrome either. But it's my Google Drive so I get in. I did make it available to anyone with a link. If it doesn't work then the Gods Must Be Crazy. Bring a detailed map of the area. You won't be disappointed. Link to comment
RT Russ Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Well Russ the plan is you are free to ride wherever you want. No Sh!t? Last time I was able to attend there were a couple of planed rides to participate in......Todd's "smell the Roses Tour", a "Spirited ride" led by some other old dude , a route to Yosemite and I believe a dual sport route for Heck to rinse his GS in a local creek. So......no planned routes rides this year? I have trouble getting lost.....people are always telling me where to go Link to comment

Twisties Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think Mark Bonar posted a few pages back about riding up into the park. I haven't figured out what I am doing yet. Need to talk to the boss... What day are you riding Russ? I think.. not sure... we'll be leaving Wednesday and arriving Thursday night... but might just leave early Thursday and push. Link to comment
graydude Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I will be heading out on my annual smell the roses audio tour. Slow pokes welcome. Hooners would die of embarrassment if they hung with me so that leaves the infirm, feeble, fun loving and folks to curious about the beautiful county to go by in blink. All bets are off on the Little Dragon. Even I like to scrape a peg or two, Link to comment

RT Russ Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 What day are you riding Russ? Everyday I was hoping to head down Thursday but got roped into a meeting for a new inspector I "get" to mentor......yeah, another one I'm getting bored with this work stuff I may get my act together and head out late Thursday afternoon butt more likely I'll head down the scenic route Friday morning and get there mid-late afternoon.

I'll never forget the water coming out of Jonathon Multhap's horn when he tooted it in the driveway back at Joe's place. That was classic. I think I'll be in for the Friday DS ride. Probably head up into the park or somewhere in the Sierra's Saturday with the camera. Link to comment

ghan Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Today's forcast for Oakhurst on Friday is 90% chance of rain. Good day to play in the dirt. BTW, what are the meet up spot and time for Friday? Link to comment
JerryMather Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Friday: Showers likely, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 11am. High near 55. South southwest wind 5 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Saturday A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah it could rain where you are riding. Then again it might not. Weather is funny that way. We've had about 7 inches of rain all season. The meet up spot will be at the Comfort Inn. Time 9am. I'll be having breakfast at the Comfort Inn. Link to comment
graydude Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Just changed my reservation to arrive Thursday instead of Friday as the LT hates moisture on the road. Asked the gal if many more were adding Thursday and she said no but lots of cancellations! WTF? If it's wet we just find a tavern and pay the light bill for the month. Or we could snuggle and watch Netflicks. Either way I'm still coming! Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's not going to rain on Saturday. I'll know more about Friday but it won't be much. Link to comment
David13 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Snuggle? Todd, if I'm going to snuggle, I can stay home and do that, can't I? And you couldn't pay me to watch Netflicks. dc Link to comment

CoarsegoldKid Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 The local ABC weatherdude says the storm is a fast moving one. Rain late on Friday 68F and T-storms favor the North end of the Valley which is north of here. Light snow at 4K in the mountains but not locally. Cool and breezy on Saturday 67F. Sunday 73F.
