Dirt lot?? Fitty get together?

[therok229]

Anyone scope any lots out so we have a fitty get together? Maybe some place in between Oak and San Jo?

[Max Smiley]

there's lots of horse trails in GGP but then we risk the park police if too many out same time? I don't know if that's federal or state or what kind of trouble we'd get into. there are trails up the San Bruno mountain and I snuck up there long time ago in my jeep. Bay Area Backroads showed some fun looking stuff by Crystal Springs, real remote and awesome, again don't know if we'd get nailed with our little bikes.

[pelikan]

the problem with ggp is that there are too many sensitive walkers/joggers/bicyclists/etc to find a horse cop and complain. This is THE city that banned Segway's after all.

My only guess would be a bigger park down the pennisula where we might get ejected, but not ticketed. Coyote Point is pretty big.

[therok229]

Hmmm thinking thinking.....what about bunker hill in SF, thats pretty wide open. Although I can't remember where exactly it is.

[Max Smiley]

maybe some lots or space still leftover in SSF. if not we just hilljump the streets :p

but everyone should get their green stickers so we can take a fiddy trip down south. I can tie down two maybe three+ in my mini-truck.

group (trail) mini ride!

[therok229]

Hmmm I bet we could find some trails in Contra Costa County, but thats hella far. There has to be something between here and san jo.

[Bad Dad]

hahaha, I was at Prairie City yesterday and there was a group (6-7) of big guys out on fiddies on the 80cc intermediate mx track..

Mashing, jumping, havin a blast.

Couple of them had the whole BBR Frame kit.

[staRang]

How much for the Green Sticker?

[Max Smiley]

$11 per year or something.

[sworde21]

Back when i was riding BMX we used to go ride this spot in Foster City, I dont know if it's still there but this would be perfect for a fiddy dirt ride. It's of a running tril right next to the bay, secluded enough where I dont think we'll get messed with by the coperz, i'll try to make it out there sometime this week to see if it's still there.

[ST]

do u get the green sticker automatically when bought new or do you have to apply for it?

[Bad Dad]

dealer does the paperwork. It will come in the mail.

[Bad Dad]

pssst. ST, my flags bigger than yours!!! :laughing :laughing

[Max Smiley]

SF 50s I got a night time spot for us now! Think Jurassic Park and you got it.

will need headlights cuz there ain't squat for ambient and daytime is a no go dead bust so far. stock exhaust noise levels only! a strict 5mph rule around dog walkers or else!!! we gots to keep them smiling. once past their section ~ whoooo.

it's a fairly long course, hard pack as well as dirt into the brush. did I mention it's dark and NO LIGHTS. at one part I didn't want to advance anymore cause had to get underneath super low tree branches. I have no idea what's after that and it probably goes on forever, could be ultra technical. better with other riders going that deep in case. maybe a daytime hike is in order.

there are some tricky spots you can fall way down off a cliff. some spots running right through the tall brush :toothless I figure as long as we keep it on the down low, we'll be ok. again, must be cool around the pedestrians! from what I saw tonight, only these mini bikes could possibly make it and we might have to walk certain parts. gotta' check it out more.

the initial part is pretty mellow and can be done in loops in case don't want to look for dinosaurs. there are many cut throughs to vary the loops.

we'll have to plan the first barf F.O.G. night ride. till then x-nay on the loc-say.

[Max Smiley]

[jonb]

yeah when is this f.o.g. night run?

[pelikan]

yup, count me in. my light is off centered, but that only make its more fun.

hollister has a < 100cc track, but its kinda small. You could always hit the real trails and just stay the right.

[Max Smiley]

tonight? thurs? friday? pelikan, your light should be ok. anything will do even a flashlight duct taped on just need something. plus less chance of freaking out dog walkers that way. so far everyone was nervous about me coming up as they never seen this before but you know me all :teeth and when they see the tiny bike it's :teeth and :laughing

[therok229]

As soon as I get my green sticker I am there.

Well I guess I could carry the temp registration.

[pelikan]

the green sticker os only for OHVA (or OHA, OVA, OSHA, i dunno), for a public place, well, it's not legal, but not illegal :)

I vote for Thursday, im checking out a truck tonight so unless I can ride my fiddy there, i'm SOL.

[Max Smiley]

yeah, thursday would work better for me.

pelikan, let me know if need a ride I can go get ya' in my truck and the kid if bringing along.

also I have a good bike light for sale, Trek Vision 30, dual C battery, side marker light feature, if anyone needs one, $20 complete with handlebar mount and rubber isolation strip.

[therok229]

Damn it if I cant do it since I have work. Weekends are better for me.

[Max Smiley]

we can do a weekend evening, maybe later in the night as more people using the area and want to keep our use low key. call any previous trips F.O.G. scouting missions :)

[therok229]

Ok let us know when you want to set this up. There has to be a lot somewhere where we can just use it.

What about that place in san bruno someone was talking about. Daytime riding would be more fun the dark, and less likely to lose your head cuz of a low branch haha

[TwoWheelDreams]

this open for all 50 riders?

[Max Smiley]

barf F.O.G. only :teeth c'mon up I'll PM/EM the loc when we solid on when. but let's not let it get out of hand with dozens. that would be too much and we'd all get busted. not that we might not but anyways...

therok~ you ain't ridden eyes wide open screaming till all you can see is the narrow tunnel of light guiding you through the night (and channel in the foliage :laughing) like an x-wing attacking the death star :mag :teeth
whoooooo

i'm still down for a 'scouting' trip tonight, but I'd have to take you up on your 'fiddy taxi' offer :) I gotta get the kid a dirt helmet before she can do any real riding.

Friday would work as well, and it would mean DRZ could come. I might even have a chance to keep pace with him (on a fiddy).

[Max Smiley]

no problem, PM ya' info / cell and we can coordinate :)

ps. I have another spot for fun running :teeth just like a flat track, same caveat on walkers but probably get away with pipe'd bikes there. lots of parking nearby too.

[pelikan]

sounds good, stillart, you still down?

i took my fiddy around my local spot right now. I was doing this hill climb up a hill which hits a internal road and a cop was going down. he just looked at me and laughed :)

[Max Smiley]

yah boys wut up
what time to meet?
pelikan check PM next

[jonb]

fri night i can probably swing or satrday! let me know via pm

[Max Smiley]

ok cool, two fiddys tonight good we won't scare peeps maybe they get used to us slowly :teeth

[DRZ]

So is it Friday? Pelikan PM me with details pls.

I know where you're talkin' about... I used to ride my goped out there flyin' along the single track stuff. That was only about 2-3 years ago... I bet it's still there.

-joe

[hooliganrider]

so when and where is the big fiddy meet?

[pelikan]

DOH! nothing happened friday, max went drinking & dining and I went...hmm, where did I go?

How does next Friday PM sound to everybody?

BTW, anybody remember a BARF Social down the penninsula at a park last August or so? I ask, because I remember port bringing his 50. We may be able to hit the trails in the daytime, if only for a bit. I can fit like 4-5 more 50's in my truck :)

[therok229]

Just let me know ahead of time and I can arrange transport from oakland....hint hint hahaha

[jonb]

i remember that social it was off 280 on the route to alices. park ranger may bug but we could try :thumbup

[pelikan]

yeah, here's (http://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7369&highlight=barf+and+social+and+park) the link, and here's the pix (http://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7844&highlight=barf+social) .

ok, not a 50, but we can try.

Let's make it official, 10am saturday, same spot? hells, we should even bbq or something.

[Max Smiley]

this :instance only comes out at night :p
jjkg! I think I'm helping with a house move next Sat. so no can for me. will continue clandestine recon for spots though. there's actually no lack of places to ride in the city.

[therok229]

I think when you guys figure something out. Let's plan 2 weeks out so we can get advanced notice to peeps

[PowderdToastMan]

There's a Giant dirt lot behind my work (overflow parking for Candlestick) .Not's the greatest area in SF but I do have a key to the gate !!!!!! Ridden dirt bikes in there many times with no problems.

[jonb]

what about 18th and church there is a huge park there, maybe we could hit that one night.

im thinking it would be cool to just bomb the city on sidewalks and hit spots all night while we're on the move.

[Kalamari Kid]

Moving is good

[jonb]

marquis moved :thumbup

[Max Smiley]

dirt lot by candlestick! ? :teeth as long as the dirt isn't city dump landfill :p

dolores park after dark could be fun for a short bit. the bravest will do the muni tunnel bwahahahaah! I won't go by myself though. to the park that is, no freaking way the tunnel. rats. big rats LOL!

how far can we ride on one tank of gas?

[jonb]

ahh, i've walked through the tunnel at dolores multiple times in the midle of the night, no worries at all. usually you meet graf artists or photographers as well.

dunno about doing muni tunnels underground downtown that would be brave! :nerd

[Bad Dad]

Rich, let me know if you plan something at the Candlstick lot, im down!

[jonb]

yeah i am down candlestick too!!

i also read that all the dirt from the mx competition at the ballpark was still off in a corner of one of the parking lots.. i wonder if its still there? :teeth

[therok229]

Ok candlestick sounds good. when??

[DRZ]

As far as a street lot, I have a pretty good one in Belmont that we should hit up for stunnin:thumbup

[PowderdToastMan]

I'm there everyday and like I said I have a key to the gate (we can close it behind us and keep the unwanteds out). I'm pretty sure that the lot is like city property and its HUGE if you've ever been to a 9er or old giants game chances are you probably parked there. So you guys lemme know when. Oh I also have tools ,air,and first aid stuff at my work which is right next to the lot so pretty much NO WORRIES ! And just so you guys know they recently layed more dirt down so it's alittle on the dirt clody/rocky side side.I'll try and get a pic tomorrow and post it here.

[Max Smiley]

I was just kidding about the muni tunnels!!! don't get freaking killed on your fiddy! :wow :p :eek

so when's the next F.O.G. night!

I vote for PTM's Candlestick dirt lot!~

then a practice stun day at DrZ's belmont lot.
looking at the pix no doubt will turn into a mini gp or nascart day too :laughing

[DRZ]

Is there lights at the Candlstick spot? We might have to do that during the day till it starts staying light later.

[TwoWheelDreams]

there is a underground tunnel in saratoga that goes under hwy 85 we can do...done it on a bmx bike before....:teeth

I'm down to drive up to belmont for a get-together.

[PowderdToastMan]

Ray & everyone else

During the day is fine.We shouldn't get hassled by anyone as my work is the only thing out there really.Thers a trailer park behind my work and the projects are across the way and we'll be approximately 1/8th mile away from the gate which will be locked and the street its off of is a side street w/ Nothing on it. If we stay late enough we can catch the sideshows and races on Carrol st and around the Stick.I'd say a weekend morning or early afternoon (say eta between 9-3) til dusk ?Cops will have no way to sneek up on us or even get to us other than by foot IF they even show up,All they can do is say get off the property.I'd like to keep the first TRIAL RUN somewhat small not like 50 50's runnin around.

[yv1]

well there cant be more than 10 of us in this forum right? is that too many?

[jonb]

sorry that was me :nerd

[DRZ]

haha, does Yevone know your talking for her:laughing

[Max Smiley]

OMG they STILL race down Carroll S.!!! :eek
unbelievable!
it was called n___ nationals back in the 70's, the racing was real (slicks, open headers, etc.) and big money changed hands.

Fremont Raceway was open then too but easier to head down H.P. after watching the racing down the Great Hwy or Brotherhood Way.

wow. memories.

[pelikan]

sounds like a plan. all we need is a date.

to keep the number down you may want to PM the address & time. that way no lurkers show up.

[Max Smiley]

hey just thought this would be a pipe friendly spot too? I likes running open but haven't lifted the carb needle or is it the clip :p yet (stock runs hella' too lean open pipe'd, nothing but backfarts, er, fires). maybe by the weekend if not then stock-o-rama will do. anyone cut the end off the stock airbox yet?


hey you guys want to check this out or stick to plans? maybe Fast 50's will have parts for sale and stuff too???

I didnt cut the horn off the airbox but I drilled about six 9/16" holes in my airbox and dropped 1 spot on my needle effectivly raising the needle.

[therok229]

Man you guys are gonna have to show me these mods you guys are doing haha

how big of a difference would you say it made?

im moving my handlebars up w/washers tommorow, I might as well open up the airbox.

[DRZ]

By derestricting the exhaust, raising the needle and drilling the airbox lid I would say there is a little more pep but not major. Its worth it to me though.
Of course the way to go would be a pipe, K&N or Uni filter but I dont have the money right now. I m trying to get a bar setup first.

I was looking at raising my stock bars with washers but I think I only have enough threds to add one washer so im skiping that.
