Most certainly! We will come to your house and confiscate all SOHC machines and any related components!  ;)

Seriously though, this is just a hobby and the relay is an excuse to get out and meet other members. Can't fault someone when life gets in the way of leisure time!

It's looking like TX in mid April, then NM, AZ, then Cali, so mid to late May? Obviously planning is still in early stages but kickoff in Fl about a month away.

No time frame yet; last year we only had one rider from the LA area, and the year before, zero riders. Mooshie from Santa Barbara was the only "so cal" rider. (Sorry, but I don't consider Santa Barbara as So-Cal... ;))

Gold, have you ever ridden East towards Lancaster? The last two years there have been meet-ups in Rosamond, at APE's headquarters at Willow Springs racetrack. The riders were allowed to take a lap around the track. ;D

EDIT: After looking at my well-worn map, I mean North-North East. :-[

Hey Wilbur - do you think any of your GA buddies are interested?

There is a faithful bunch of riders here in the Southeast. I'm sure we can coax more than one out for a ride!  8)

Bluto aka Bill here.........Us Ga boys are always ready!!!.....might be time for us to head on into Fla and save Wilbur some miles.........

Let's ride!

...there are tons of great bike oriented events scattered around the midwest in June, July, August...maybe Mid-Ohio would be good goal to shoot for, I think it's in late July/August, ...also Rockerbox in Milwaukee has been getting bigger and bigger every year, same weekend as AHRMA vintage race at Gingerman raceway in South Haven MI...last year Godzilla made it to both on my bike...would love to do it again with others...might even be able to get members a deal on a ferry ride across Lake Michigan...

Good suggestions Sean.  Road America also has a huge vintage event, in June, I believe.  Would love to get my 550 on that track.  My brother has raced SCCA cars there.

Honestly!  what is it with So. Cal riders? Where is greenhornet?  He showed for 2012.   I don't think of Santa Barbara as So Cal either but someone has got to represent!  :-* Now Northern Cal riders they are prolific.  Where are they?  FattMat?  Sean?
