Hey, I just realized we haven't heard from Pat. Pat, did you make it home OK?

Mooshie · « **Reply #479 on:** June 03, 2013, 08:06:15 PM »

Yes he did he texted me that he made it home safely after 400+ miles in one day. Now that's riding

Lizard's at my house. He's hanging out w/ my cats and begging me to take him surfing, we'll see.

Spike, we're not leaving till at least 5pm. If you can make it, let us know.

Sup Y'all! Meeting at the Commons at SSU. Matt- Give me a shout when your close and I'll give you directions. Ken

May DaSchwartz be with you!

grumpy · « **Reply #483 on:** June 05, 2013, 09:33:20 AM »

Hey, who's Jet Green 550 is that and do you want to sell it ??
I LOVE that color.

fatmatt650 · « **Reply #484 on:** June 05, 2013, 12:54:50 PM »

I'm about to head out to meet DaSchwartz (Ken) and crew. After crossing the Golden Gate, I'll be taking the 1 up the coast and then detouring inland for some mountain roads I've never ridden before around Mt. Tam. I swear, this has to be the BEST riding of the whole tour. After we meet we'll be taking some more sweet, sweet twisties over to wine country to meet up w/ Dave Voss. BTW, my new charging system is in place and the bike has twice the horsepower, those coils had been going bad for a long time and I was attributing the power loss to bad valves, much better now. Sorry for getting oil all over your awesome jacket, Grumpy.

I'll do my best to keep the G-man from wrecking the Golden Gate Bridge but y'all know how he gets. He actually threw on a base layer in anticipation of the coastal fog and he scored a sweet new necklace and belt buckle. I'll try to update the log tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you, I'll try to tidy up a bit before you arrive (unless GZ likes a chaotic garage...)

What does jet green look like? The green in the back is Greenhornets bike (750) and the minty green toward the front is mine (550) and then of course the olive green front most bike is Paul's (I forget his forum name...something arrow)
Greenhornet may trade you for your jacket

goldarrow · « **Reply #487 on:** June 05, 2013, 02:36:38 PM »

Definitely will trade my bike for grumpys jacket.

Just realized that there were 3 green bikes for SoCal riders!

taking on the vehicle fleet management for the Burningman event is running me ragged. Ironically, I'll be an hour or so north of Fernley this weekend and 6/14-17.

Any chance of sneaking Greg and GZ into the Burning Man area on 6/8?

geminimotors · « **Reply #490 on:** June 05, 2013, 10:08:33 PM »

Heck yeah! I'd love to see a photo of Godzilla on the playa, or even better with the mechanics and one of the fleet trucks!
The town of Gerlach is 1.5 hors north of Fernley, playa access is 8 more miles and the ranch/workshop is 20 miles from Gerlach. If anyone wants to make the trek, PM me for details.

The 550 in front is Jet Green. AKA Jade Green.

God-superfly-zilla is now chillin' in Napa after a nice meeting at Downtown Joes (local restaurant-brewery on the river) with Matt, Ken, Daniel, and me late yesterday afternoon. It's always great to meet fellow motorcycle enthusiasts, thanks for bringing GZ up to Napa.

How many wind-in-the-face miles has GZ logged so far? Or are folks stowing GZ away in a bag while traveling? I'm thinking the view up and over the Sierras is too nice to miss, and a few bugs in teeth might just give GZ something to snack on anyway.

Damn, missed this! We were out on another ride:

I don't know how many miles Grumpzilla has logged but I think I am the only one that has ever tucked him in the panniers (I did the same with his brothers as well--didn't want to break tradition). Everyone else seems to tether him to the handlebars.

I just bungeed him to the pack on the back of my bike...........he said he liked it there (something about bondage, etc.)

Just got back home(well, work anyway) update to come.

Dave Voss · « **Reply #498 on:** June 06, 2013, 06:39:07 PM »

Sadly, as of this afternoon, I'm unable to participate in the GZ3 Rally. On my commute from work, the head gasket failed on my CB550 and I barely made it home. Sorry folks, I was *really* looking forward to Saturday's ride. If this had occurred a week ago, I might have been able to get it fixed in time, but with only a day left, its just not an option for me. Seriously bummed...

Stev-o · « **Reply #499 on:** June 06, 2013, 06:41:51 PM »

Sorry to hear about your bike, Dave. On a positive note, you can pull the head on a 550 with the motor in the frame.
