How many of you SoCal riders are planning to go to Willow Springs/APE?

I am going to pass for this years at Willow but want to be one of the ones to take Godzilla (is there a 3rd Godzilla or is lefty coming along again? or perhaps G-1?) up to the Northern CA riders minimally to San Jose/Monterrey hopefully to San Francisco/Santa Rosa.

Yep, GZ 3.0 is flying "acapella". Thought I would pass the opportunity to add some "bling" to anyone that might be so inclined...

GZ v1.0 is semi-retired just like me and looking down at me as we speak.

I put the stock bars back on my CB400F today (I don't want to spend 4 days hunched over on some cafe bars). I'd shortened everything to fit the drop bars perfectly so it wasn't as easy as it would've been. I'm riding it down to Hollister next week to get a "Gunfighter" type seat put on it at Corbin with my friend Ken (he bought the Antares Blue CB750F I rode in last years ride). If anyone in the Bay Area wants to come along, let me know. We're leaving from Pacifica on Tuesday morning(ish) the 19th, camping out nearby (or maybe getting a hotel, we'll see), hanging at Corbin the next day and riding the slab back that night.

Some things just weren't meant to be. Forecast calls for rain but we decided to soldier on. Ken got all loaded up and ready to go but stopped for gas and discovered a screw in his tire. I decided to go solo but when I installed my new rectifier this evening I didn't realize that 2 of the cooling fins were positively grounded and burned out half my wiring harness. Oh, well. I'll figure out something. Either deal w/ the wiring harness issue or get one of the 750s going.

Is GZ going to be waiting for us at APE? Ideally I would like to take PCH all the way up.

Mooshie · « **Reply #80 on:** March 19, 2013, 02:19:18 PM »

Probably not. Normally we go and fetch the little man. Unless someone from San Diego wants to step up and meet Scott (who I assume will be riding in from Arizona) or perhaps he wants to ride all the way to APE and then you can just do a switch. Do we have any San Diego riders?

scottly · « **Reply #81 on:** March 19, 2013, 06:26:02 PM »

I'm considering a few different options, given the lack of AZ riders so far. It's 470 miles to APE for me, but I would really like to go there. Shenanigans is willing to ride west, but I don't think he wants to ride that far, either. Heffay has suggested a hand off from Proto at Four Corners, and that sounds like a more pleasant ride.
The option I'm currently entertaining is to do the Four Corners ride, then carry GZ to APE in a Honda, rather than on one. Hey, he can ride inside the car on a K1 side-cover.

From APE, I'll follow the riders as a support vehicle as far as Santa Maria, where I will visit with family.

Santa Maria has some good tri-tip places...

scottly · « **Reply #83 on:** March 19, 2013, 09:14:30 PM »

Mmmm. Tri-tip, cooked Santa Maria style over oak. Mmmm.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #84 on:** March 19, 2013, 09:59:10 PM »

A good tri-tip sandwich or tri-tip steak is worth a long drive in my book...yummmm Enjoy some for me while you are there.

Mooshie · « **Reply #85 on:** March 20, 2013, 12:01:29 PM »

Coach Doc is in San Diego...has he weighed in yet? I would hate for Gz-3 to have to ride in a car (even if he is in a Honda on a K-1 side cover

) into California.
Where in the world are the San Diego riders?

scottly · « **Reply #86 on:** March 20, 2013, 07:01:46 PM »

It would be about 290 miles from San Diego to APE, via Joshua Tree. Riders coming from the LA area might be able to join Coach Doc in Victorville or Lucerne Valley. (Honest Sal, Big Bear won't be as cold in May as it was in late March.

)

KCbarsos · « **Reply #87 on:** March 22, 2013, 05:07:35 PM »

just found the thread

missed last year, but my pilon and i would love to be apart of 2013

we are in san jose and can ride 200 or so miles (maybe more depending on schedule and timing) let us know what we can do to help, or just tag along

CoachDoc, what say you? You are the furthest away from Willow Springs...

Sorry, Scotty, haven't checked in recently. Definitely I'm down for Willow Spring. Missed it last year due to the possible rain. Now I've got to read the rest of the posts since the last time I checked in.

Mooshie et al, I'd be happy to meet Scotty coming from the east. I may trailer the bike to a meetup point if a lot of slabbing on the way looks inevitable. Wish I had somebody else from San Diego to come with me. If Scotty's approach route doesn't make that plan feasible, I can either meet up in Victorville, Rosemond, or wherever. What is the current best estimate for the days involved?

Hey Doc, the mention of a trailer opens up some options. How many bikes will your trailer carry?

CoachDoc · « **Reply #91 on:** April 04, 2013, 07:48:57 PM »

Scotty, don't have my own. I rent one of the small 1 bike U-Haul MC traliers ($14.95/day). Much more cost effective than buying one, and pulls really easily.

scottly · « **Reply #92 on:** April 04, 2013, 07:55:29 PM »

Does U-Haul have a 3 bike trailer?

Negative. The small 1 bike trailer is the only one they have, and that's about as much as my Escape can pull. What were you thinking related to the trailer?

scottly · « **Reply #94 on:** April 04, 2013, 08:15:54 PM »

Just weighing options. The trailer that ClimbingAZ rented the first year was a fat pig, even after we unloaded his bike in NM.

CoachDoc · « **Reply #95 on:** April 04, 2013, 11:12:29 PM »

Scott, what route would you be taking across AZ and into CA? I'm not sure how hard or easy it would be for me to meet you unless you took a more southerly approach.Otherwise your suggestion for me to meet up with LA riders in Victorville or thereabouts and then ride together to APE would seem most doable. Dates?

scottly · « **Reply #96 on:** April 05, 2013, 05:53:36 PM »

The route into SoCal would be hwy 62, from Parker to 29 Palms/Joshua Tree.
The time frame we are looking at is somewhere from the beginning to the middle of May.

Depending on the days of the week involved, I may be able to meet you in Joshua Tree/ 29 Palms and ride with you to Rosamond to meet whatever group is there at Willow Springs.

If it works with the guys at APE and Willowsprings, meeting you early on a Saturday would be best. If I remember right last year you were planning to do the track on a Sunday, is that right? If so, then us getting there on Saturday should work. In a pinch I could move some things around and meet you on a Friday instead, but early Sat. would be best. Work for you?
