Sounds like a plan. We'll be leaving SB around 9ish. Is that about an hour away?

Looking at 100 miles for that portion of the ride, so earlier the better??? :) may be we could feed the Godzilla lunch in Rosamond???
Have either of you been in contact with Pat_at_APE?

I'd love to join you guys, but not enough time for me to clear the decks so I could get away for the requisite time. Enjoy yourselves and may the weather gods bless you.

I'll PM Justin, Thinking ride out to West Texas and meet up with him back to Austin.

Sitting in a motel in Flagstaff, AZ.  150 miles yesterday and 450 today.  F1 running good!  An easy 250 miles manana for the meet with the CA riders.

Pecan tree, I have not heard anything back from Justin.  I will have to swing down to Deming, NM after the CA meet.  I plan on being in Deming Monday afternoon.  From that location I can meet TX riders anywhere along the TX/NM border.

Proto, my man... you can swing by my place in Mesa if you're coming thru on Sunday.  I can only do Sundays and Thursdays, as those are my days off, even tho this week is only Sunday   >:( .

I'm near the 202 Loop and Hwy 60 in East Mesa.  From there you can go thru Globe and see all the mines and other historic sites.  That is the route we used last year on the way to meet you .  Very good ride, but gotta be careful of the idiots = mostly near Phoenix, 2 riders died the same day we rode through last year because a Corvette was passing on a blind curve.  Bad scene to start out our trip.

Everyone ride safe and enjoy the breeze.

Sitting in a hotel in Dallas watching "Faster". Have one more week onthis job. Can be be in New Mexico area the 8th or 9th. Let's see what Justin's got going. He's got the lead on West Texas end, I don't want to step on his toes.

Always... as long as I can get it started at the gate.
The issue is time though.  I just don't have it with the work I have to do on the house, outside of 70+ hour work weeks. 

As far as the 350f is concerned, "baby" is a little beast that has been ridden hard since I bought her in the early aughts.  I would trust that bike to the moon and back, but I prefer not to put it thru the torture before some much needed engine upkeep. 

The 400f parts sell off will fund the rebuild of the 400f motor to swap in.  If the carbon fiber doesn't sell... it will be used,  I promise.
