[motorman4life]

:Party 1st ANNUAL BARF LEO FORUM WINTER BRUNCH RIDE

Alice's Restaurant in Woodside/La Honda [WEBSITE] (http://www.alicesrestaurant.com/index2.htm)

Sunday, January 20th, 2008, 10am to Noon. Weather permitting. Check here for updates.

Our hope is that we can get a good turnout of LEO Forum mods and the usual suspects [participating cops and the non-LEO participants in this forum].. even the hooligans are welcome!

Rain or wet roads from overnight rain will cancel. :cry Run-off is to be expected in the trees Dec-May, so ride carefully and expect it to be slippery, even if there is no recent rain.

Please keep posted here. We have moved it to January 20th and hope for the best. All forecasts for this weekend look great!

:nerd For those that need it laid out like a Dragnet re-run:

WHO: All BARF LEO Forum Participants.
WHAT: No host brunch gathering.
WHEN: Planned for Sunday, January 20th, 2008, 10 am to Noon.
WHERE: Alice's at the infamous "4-corners" (Hwys 84/35) in Woodside.
WHY: It's about time we put faces to names. That and -Baker- said he would take up a collection to buy the mods and pseudo-mods lunch!
HOW: :ride On 2-wheels.. of course! Use Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=17288+Skyline+Blvd+Woodside,+CA+94062-5707&spn=0.180885,0.267448&hl=en) or your favorite GPS to plan your route and appropriate departure time for a 10 am arrival.

Plan to dress warm. We hope to see you there! :thumbup

[hitman5532]

any idea on the route??

[SpeedyCorky]

So if i ride with you guys, can i assume anything i do is ticket immune cuz i'm on 'the ins' with the LEOs ???



:teeth


wish i could make it but no way a little 50cc is gonna go from concord to Alices

[Alan_Hepburn]

So is the plan for everybody to meet at Alice's, or are there going to be several groups forming up in various places and riding up to Alice's together?

[hondagrl]

Maybe....

[motorman4life]

If anyone wants to "captain" a group ride from any various locations around the bay (SJ, East Bay, North Bay) feel free to post up your meeting location and departure time. You can brief or negotiate the route before departure and those that wish to join are free to do so. I suggest you break up into groups of 3 to 6 bikes and stagger them by speed, ability, experience and those with passengers. Try to be safe and remember group riding can be hazardous if everyone is not on the same page.

I'll be waiting for you guys at Alice's. :cool So, feel free to consider this a "destination ride" (as my buddy Woz would call it) if you want to. If people want to launch departure rides from Alice's after brunch, that's cool too.

As for flying under a flag of protection.. you're on your own. I won't throw down your name if I get stopped and you don't thow down mine!! :teeth

[L-2]

Also, maybe.
Perhaps you'll find out I'm not really a cop and I don't even own/ride a motorcycle. After all, this is the internet.

[budman]

Cool...

Hopefully time and weather will allow my participation.
Always good to meet new folks and see friends.

[B-Cuz]

Sounds like a plan, count me in!

[Bronto]

Suggestions only
There's a shooting range on Skyline, South of Alices.
http://www.losaltosrodandgunclub.com/
Be interesting (nerve racking) from Alices, the group heads South to the range.
No shooten just ridden. Classic ride route is W. Hwy 84 > W. Pascadero Rd > jump over to S. Cloverdale that becomes Gaza Creek rd. > S. Hwy 1 > Stop near Davenport (check for nudes on the beach)> E. Boony doom > Back to Hwy 9 various ways. It's a late start with time constraints can bypass hwy 9 to hwy 17. Would save hour and half getting out of the mountains.

[Noid]

I will go on one condition. All leo's on this board have to let me buy you lunch. I figure that I have given you guys enough shit on this board that this will be my way of saying thanks.

If your inerested in my offer let me know. I need to figure out how many people I need to rob before I get there. J.K. on the robbing part.

p.s. drinks are included.

[Junkie]

I'd certainly be up for the shooting range after. Sadly, my bikes currently aren't in any decent shape and I wouldn't be too inclined to carry my rifle on my back the whole way down there, but I might cage it down there anyway.

[JPM]

Also, maybe.
Perhaps you'll find out I'm not really a cop and I don't even own/ride a motorcycle. After all, this is the internet.

I'm not sure if I will make it. I won’t write you but since I will throw your name down for riding like an idiot, I think it would be a destination only ride for me. :p

[Butch]

you guys are so cool. I am so definately in.
unless the wifey needs something serious. really serious.
you guys rock.

:rofl

[squidhunter]

Hmmm....
I normally avoid barf rides like the plague, but I may just check this one out. I'm not an LE officer, but a court officer, and would like to meet my fellow justice system riders out there.

BTW, for you Santa Clara County officers out there. Next time you drop off an affidavit, poke your head into the OR station and ask for Robert.

Well hell, never known a cop who passed on a free meal. I'll be there. Anyone wanna ride out from the far east let me know and we can pick a meet spot.

MM4L, what's up with the pansy "weather permitting" crap? Water never hurt nobody :teeth

[antarius]

Considering I'll be trucking it down to begin the ride, I'd rather not ride in the rain! Call me a pansy! :)

Hopefully the weather holds out, we have a good ride, and I get a free lunch!!

[motorman4life]

MM4L, what's up with the pansy "weather permitting" crap? Water never hurt nobody :teeth
I'm not made of sugar either! I have found turnouts for wet weather rides are poor (at best). I have show up for 2 pre-announced BARF rides at Alice's and in both cases, I was the only one there. One had awesome weather too. I just figured I'd hedge my bets this time and ensure we have a dry ride for all of those "fair weather bikers" (aka: candyasses) out there.

[Rel]

This is going to be GOOOD!

[Bronto]

Anyone wanna ride out from the far east let me know and we can pick a meet spot.
W. Hwy 580 > S. Hwy 880 > W. Hwy 92 or W Hwy 84
Meet spots Livermore(Star Buxs on S. Vasco Rd), San Lorenzo (Star Bux on 15600 Hesperian Blvd)
Pick up allot riders in San Lorenzo

W. Hwy 580 > N. Hwy 680 > W. Hwy 24 > W. Hwy 80 (Bay Bridge) > Hwy 1 or Hwy 92 to Skyline.
Meet spots Livermore, :D Alamo star Bux (Danville Blvd), San Francisco (Farleys 1315 18th St), Daily City
Pick up all the East East bayers in Alamo featuring the one and only Dragon :laughing
Moderate turnout at Farleys in SF and Daily City.
Bonus if there's no ride planned after lunch. The ride there is the ride. It's a fifteen mile North shift off the optimal route from Tracy.

[Iszlandsnow]

Alright,I got stack of fix-it tickets you can sign off ! Hook it up!:thumbup

[Warpkor]

I'll be coming from Sacto. This will be my very first BARF meet.

[Warpkor]

Oh, and I'll be observing the posted speed limits on my way there and back! Seriously...:p

[RRR70]

I think I will be feeling sick on Jan 5th.:teeth

Thanks to Dragon and Noid for buying... it is in print! :twofinger :laughing

[-Baker-]

o man this sounds like it will be a blast....I sure hope many more NON-leos will show to help with the donating part of buying breakfast/lunch for the Leos. LOL

+ 1 for non-leo here.

[Bronto]

Last time at Alices was with BAD MC club. Twenty riders got separate checks.
Was equitable with separate checks.
Collect LEO checks and divide shares among non-Leo.
Heh I'm bringing a calculator and roll of quarters :Party Heh, don't ask about the pants bulge - It's quarters :laughing

[Uncle Fester]

Starbucks on CCB, even better. 0815 departure, got it.

[Noid]

Unless Harpo calls me back I will be driving. And I still have not heard anything about how many leo's are going to be there. Need to kow if I should bring my wallet or CC.

[Rel]

Ya know... I would feel kinda guilty having people pay for mine.... can't we just put all the checks together and split it?

[Razel]

[timlexus]

This ride sounds like a great time, i'm thankful for the candid advise i've recieved from the LEO's on this forum. Gotta a wedding to attend so will have to miss this.

But.... for all you Barfers going out there buying them lunch, watch out, its a sting! You're going to get arressted for bribing a peace officer :laughing

[Bronto]

After chipping in the BARFettes will be expecting to get sum :boobies

[rovingeyes]

Damn, my bike got stolen couple of weeks ago, otherwise I would have definitely tried to make it. Actually if I can fix my 250 by then, I could still try.

[Mortifer]

Looks like I'm in for this. I'll post up a southbay meet spot (Saratoga 76) and time soon.:)

[BamR6]

WoW! Glad to know my ticket somehow blossomed into an annual LEO forum ride?

http://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228730
I wonder if that will have any pull with the judge??

Anyways, I'm gonna try and meet up at the PH starbux and ride out, and yes, I'll bring the ticket! :twofinger

[silversvs]

I'll be leaving Tracy around 0800, I can stop in Livermore around 0820 if anyone wants to meet there. After that I'm riding out to the hills and ending up at the meet. If anyone wants to tag along let me know.

[NorCalBusa]

Parking a bunch of bikes and jabbering in the parking lot, is better accomplished across the street at STP (Skyline Trading Post). It's the little store and gas station, and has a 200' parking lot that is level and paved (v. the banked slope w/pine needles in front of Alice's).

[B-Cuz]

Would it be safe to assume that the ride is still on regardless of weather? Been out of town for the last week so I'm sort of playing catch up at the moment. Saw a weather report on the morning news rain Thur (all day), Fri(all day), Sat(Afternoon/Eve), Sun(Morn).

[Razel]

Ain't lookin' pretty, this far out

Thursday: Periods of rain. High near 56. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

Thursday Night: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a low around 50.

Friday: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 56.

Friday Night: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a low around 45.

Saturday: Rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 55.

Saturday Night: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a low around 47.

Sunday: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 52.

As for the rain, it's coming.... Start planning on the 20th.

[Stoner]

Cool, I should have my cast off by the 5th, but the 20th would allow a little time for rehab.
Note to self: check bike batteries!:cool

[motorman4life]

Okay, we have 3 big storms coming at us and they are predicting 3"-6" of rain throughout the entire Bay Area between Thursday and Sunday. Even though we may have a small window of no rain in most areas on Saturday morning, I'm going to call it off for this weekend. :cry

As stated previously, we will fall back to Saturday, January 19th as our back up (unless the 20th is better or our other 2 forum Mods). Please check this thread for any updates.

I'll also update the title and initial post with the latest info.

Have a safe week and maybe try to get those Christmas lights down tomorrow (Wednesday) or they may end up in your neighbor's yard! :thumbup

[silversvs]

Saturday the 19th or Sunday the 20th work for me.

Antarius, motor school usually is not held on Sunday. Double check that schedule. You are probably off on the 20th. They run it Tuesday to Saturday so they can do the long rides on Saturday with less traffic.

[Mortifer]

wow, looks like rain from wed through next week.:(

At least the roads will be empty up there!!!:Party
see a few of you up there next weekend!

19th, 20th which ever day brings out the Barf Leos is good with me. I'll work some of the girls for overtime so we can get the Barf Leos some grub...umm you didn't hear me say that. oops

Guys....I will do my best to show, but right now time is tight for me this month quitting current job and starting a new one plus moving 100 miles (Newborn and 2 teens)

[antarius]

MM4L, you were right.

Unfortunately the 19th is a Saturday so I will be training. =[

I'll try to be there for the next one!

[silversvs]

Did you check to see if you were off on the 20th.

I think the 20th works for everyone as well, so if ya don't have to dodge cones on the 20th lets do it that day. It will be fun to listen to your harrowing stories of steep hills, narrow roadways, and killer cones.

The course is definitely ran Tuesday through Saturdays. That means my last day for that week is the 19th, starting again on the following tuesday.

So yes, I'm in for the 20th! I don't want to screw anyone else out of going, but if we could move it to Sunday the 20th, that would work for me! I'll just figure out where to truck my bike the morning of.

I'm totally fine with the 20th, that was why I had set it as a back-up date. Everyone I have heard from told me both days were fine with them.

As it stands, if the 19th and 20th are clear (weather), then we can certainly hold it on the 20th. But, I don't want to move it to the 20th (now) and have it be beautiful and clear on the 19th, with another mega-storm forecast to come in early on the morning of the 20th and we end up scratching the whole event until March.

So, I will update when it gets nearer.
Let's not put all of our eggs in one basket until we have to.

[antarius]

MM4L,

Sounds good. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the weather Gods to keep the sun shining both the 19th and 20th!

[Bronto]

On a LEO forum meet, I would've taken the 5th, but the 20th is OK.

I am off the 19th. The 20th, (I work graves on the 20th, so the 19th would be better)...... but either way, I BE THERE!

For those who are interested:

Time: 9am
Kickstand up @ 9:30am
Meeting 76 gas station..Meet-Up Location: 76 Gas Station in Saratoga on Big Basin Way 14395 Big Basin Way, Saratoga Ca 95070

From there we ride up to Alice's!!!

I work graves on the 20th



Sleep is for the weak. :x

How many people are you expecting to wait over 12 hours?!:wow

What? Where is your dedication?!?

LOL...

[blackOnblack]

I'm not sure if it has been posted, but I was just reading the first post and it says the IMFAMOUS 4 corners (84/35). Last I heard, 4 corners was 9/35.... so that might confuse some people (although calling out Alices saves it).

ride safe guys :)

the original 4 corners is 84/35

[mnb]

To me, four corners will always be Sky Londa, ie: 84 and 35.

The original is still the best!

[Bronto]

By picking up little bits of info every time go riding. Ah Ha Four corners is big parking lot at the intersection of Hwy 9 and Hwy 35.
Was satisfied Hwy 35(Skyline) and Hwy 84 was called Alices or STP (Skyline Trading Post).
Still collecting info on where abouts of the Pumkin Patch.

[NorCalBusa]

Don't worry about keeping them straight- its a fun little rip either/both ways!

[Nick]

How about throwing "Upper" or "Lower" Four Corners? Upper being Alice's/84/35/STP and lower being 9/35.

This is the way I've always clarified.

[budman]

LEO dudes.. would you be willing to do a little video interview about riding in the Bay Area and also experience with dealing with the reality of motorcyclist on the road???

Would be helpful for a project we have going.

[antarius]

Aint that the truth.:rofl

When I first started, wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back in 2005 :rofl:rofl, "What's command presence?"

I gave the textbook POST answer. His response: "No, command presence is being able to bullshit and act like you know what the fuck you're talking about while you say it."

[Fleck1990]

I'll make it out!

[Fleck1990]

that is command presence, just making the other person think you know what is going on

[KyokushinWRX]

but...thought i'd share. We did a lil training today out at Moffet. It was good times. A lil wet, but still good training. Notice the scrape/gouge marks in the pattern? Needless to say a couple of us went down...:laughing

Oh and to stay on topic, i'll try to make it out on the 19th or 20th, what ever day it maybe. SilverSVS, i may meet you in Livermore...

[Sato8]

You know "COMMAND PRESENCE", everyone here knows, when you smell and see a pile of shit on the ground. That is "Command Presence"

[Sato8]

:) i will try to make this ride, sound like fun. 19Jan08 weather permitiing. I used to be mounted, every time my horse raised his tail he made a whole bunch of Captains.(Command Presence):laughing

Nice head and eye placement. :thumbup

If ya scoot forward on the seat a bit more, you won't limit your turning radius by not being able to reach far enough to slam the bars all the way to the stops. When I am in the patterns I am darn near sitting on the tank. The second picture looks like you are close to max arm reach.

Did you come and practice with us once?

Hmm, I'll have to try that trick. My body seems to drop into one spot on the seat, though. I typically just lean forward quite a bit to get better reach, although I plan to put some Chubby's on the RK for better reach.

I was tryin to keep my head/eyes up...and that damn keyhole looks so big and ya think to yerself, "Yeah, thats no problem" but then you hit it and for some reason...its that much harder when you get in! And the keyhole is one of the easier patterns! :laughing

My partner was tellin me that he scoots far forward on the tank and I always think about it but it either escapes my memory right before I hit the pattern or everything goes to shit Hehe. And for the most part a full "lock to lock" for me is usually only up to my arms as opposed to the stops. Me and my short arms *sigh* I'm sorta vertically challenged.

It is! ....more so cus its not your bike when you drop it :p

So which is it? 19th or 20th?

[silversvs]

Lets do the 20th. Everyone has said the 20th is good. Rel don't need sleep, he can sleep in his car on midnights.

[Rel]

Works for me.....

The 20th it is..... I'll make sure my partner drives.

[Mortifer]

I'm confused, I thought it was decided to be the 19th, which is why the title and first post says 19th several times.

so...what day is this happening...for sure?

[antarius]

MM4L, I assume, will make the final announcement as to which day it is for sure.

The general consensus is we're leaning towards the 20th... but I'm not planning this, so who knows. :)

[Mortifer]

cool, I plan to be there, whichever day it is.:)

[silversvs]

MeterMaid to the white courtesy phone...................................

The 19th is the Vampires ride. The 20th works for Antarius and we wanna see his battle scars from motor school.

I'm in for the 20th. :)

I'm in for the 20th, too.
Silversvs: Is your entourage planning a stop in the Fremont area on the way?

Are the motorcops gonna do a skills demo? Maybe cone off the north part of the lot at STP... (I know, not much room, but you guys are good at that!)

[beaker]

Anyone want to extend an invitation to the LEOs that work near Alices? No idea if there's motor guys around there these days. Or is that a crazy idea? :wow

So any guesses on how many "BARF" Leo's are going to be there? I have at least one other person who is going to help out. But I still would like a idea on how many? You don't have to reply that you are going or not I just need a #.

MeterMaid to the white courtesy phone...................................

Okay, here is the deal, I don't want to interfere with any other rides and it seems the consesnus is that the 20th is the best. As it stands, both days (the 19th and 20th) appear to have excellent weather in the forecast.

So, I'm going to set this for the 20th and update the initial post in this thread accordingly.

But unfortunately as it turns out, the 19th is looking to be better for me and I may not be able to make it the 20th. I won't know for certain until Thursday or Friday and I don't want to hold up others that need solid plans set now.

So, it will be on the 20th.. 10 am to Noon. If I can make it, even if it is for 20 or 30 minutes, I'll try my best.

[antarius]

Dont change it on my accord MM4L! I'm a rookie beyotch motor trainee! If the other reasons are legit, so be it... But don't short yourself because of me!

[Bronto]

Ah oH, I mistakingly thought an Air Port pickup was Saturday. It's on Sunday, will be same time as the meet. Who cares really heh, But it also means I won't be doing the East Bay riders ride out organizing.
I have to count on pictures someone takes. The straight on and side mug shots :laughing

Let's see what kind of turnout we get and we'll see. I intentionally only posted this in the LEO forum, because it was intended for the LEO forum regulars and LEO forum Mods not all of the BARFers with nothing better to do.

If it is going to be crowded, I'd rather have it be just those that participate in this forum vs. all of the hooligans over in the Stunt Spot forum, etc.. OTOH, if they participate here, they are more than welcome.

Unfortunately, it looks like the weather on Saturday will be quite a bit warmer. A cold weather mass will be rolling in Saturday night and will be locked in on Sunday, so expect frost on your windshield. But, it looks like I will actually be available on Sunday, so everyone dress warm and maybe if it is cold, it will keep the riff-raff away... we can hope.

10am to Noon, be there or be square. :thumbup

[Mortifer]

is this just the brunch at Alices (from 10-12) or is there a ride after?

Well, it's not so much that the high is expected to be 54 here in the valley, but the fact that it will be in the 40's when we leave the house, and the wind chill puts it a bit lower than that - I did admit I was a wuss!

Actually, it's more that my wife has pretty bad arthritis in her knees and the ride would not be fun for her - and the reason we ride is to have fun after all...

[wyoung8]

It was great, thanks every one or being there.

[NorCalBusa]

Nice to see everyone- old and new!

Going home, I dropped down Hwy 84 to go see a buddy in Woodside. I know from the bottom of the hill to town has heavy speed enforcement, so I tootled along- but soon had not one, but two San MAteo Sheriff cars behind me...no problem. One closed up pretty fast, so I just scooted over and waived him by- which he did, giving a nice "thanks" waive back afterwards. The second guy stayed behind me.

As I was getting to Robert's Grocery at Canada Rd., an Escalade pulls out right in front of me- from the left side of the road. I saw it coming, so it was no big deal, I just braked and moved over so she could have her three lanes of road she apparently needed to operate in. But, the sheriff saw it too and lights them right up, pulling them over. I stopped by and the Deputy walked back to me, I said "thanks". He said "oh yeah, I saw the whole thing", so we chatted for awhile. Nice!

[Rel]

It was indeed a good time!!! Thats how the rides should be.... The weather, yeah, could have been better. However it was dry and warmer once we got into Boulder Creek. See ya at the next one.

[Alan_Hepburn]

...See ya at the next one.

Any idea when that might be? As it turned out even if the weather was better I would have had to cancel because our furnace went out yesterday and we had to wait around for the repair guy to show up this morning - good thing we've got a wood-burning stove in the house for backup!

By the way: does anybody know if there's going to be a Santa Clara Valley Peace Officers' Memorial Ride this year? I went to check the web site and it appears to have disappeared...

[Noid]

I had good time. Like everyone else it was good to put the names with the faces. Weather was a bit too cold and wet for most of use. On that note I think we should do this again sometime in the summer. Maybe have it up at the Junction ( Mines ). This way we can use the outside BBQ's. Just a thought.

Noid, thanks for lunch. I appreciate it, really.

Budman, good to meet you!

MNB, NorcalBusa and everyone else, glad you all came up even during the rainy and cold weather!

I'll definitely be looking forward to a summer edition.

[NorCalBusa]

I gotta say- Alice's did a fine job with 20-something of us walking in. The food and drinks came right away, and they were attentive on refills and such. Nice job Alice's!
(And the front rooms were packed too)

[motorman4life]

Yes, kudos to Alice's for the great service and opening up the back room for us. I think maybe a mid-week gathering for a BBQ lunch at the Junction on Mine's Road, this Summer, would be a great follow up. We'll play it by ear.

FWIW, the weather would have been quite a bit warmer on Saturday (the day I preferred), but the majority wanted Sunday and that's what we did. Everyone knew it was going to be cold and damp.. so quitcherbellyachin'.

Thanks to everyone that made it out! It was great meeting so many of the LEO forum minions. I was afraid if we waited until the weather got better, that we would end up with double or triple the number of people and a lower percentage of actual forum participants. That is also why I didn't add this ride to the Social Gatherings or General forums.. I wanted it to be a more private event for those that actually particiate in the LEO forum. I guess I figured right, because even with the cold/damp weather and the limited invites, we filled the place up!

Thank you again to Noid for brunch and thanks to all of the other Mods and Budman for making it out to our First Annual LEO forum Winter Ride.

I did get to interact with some LEOs, though. Uh huh. BTDTGTTS. Just for the record, last night's encounter wasn't nearly as enjoyable as this mornings...

Man, I wish I could have made it. But I couldn't grow my mustache in time. :twofinger

Thanks to everyone who showed up. Nice putting faces to names. To those who did not make it out, I am sorry but I gave away all my get out of jail free cards at the meet.

It was a nice day for riding. I did a few laps of 35/84/9 etc and then headed to Mt. Hamilton and Mines for the ride home. Put in about 275 miles so it was a fun day.

Wish I could have made it but as I mentioned in a previous post I had a Cadet Color Guard Competition where I had to accompany my team. Not all is lost though, the kids did awesome and have won the competition, now it's onto Oregon as the Cali Wing Color Guard! BOOYA!

I was both pleased and somewhat surprised to return to the lot after lunch to find my Harley both unmolested and with the same amount of gas in it as there was when I parked it. :)

Thanks for the escort down 35, Rel! :thumbup

I left a minute after you folks did and when I came up on a few bikes, I wondered, "why are they going so danged slow?"

"oh, there's a cop up ahead..."
:rofl

You're most welcomed..... Between you, me, and Bob, we could have our own little subBarf group.

Now accepting applications.

On another note:
I had to read this a couple times... and I thought... "I didn't see any cop ahead..." then it dawned on me.... it was ME! Still frozen from the ride and working last night.

Standing on 101 for 8 hrs with a Ped fatal makes slow mental response.
