CALLING DUBLIN/PLEASANTON/SAN RAMON/DANVILLE RIDERS!

[speed_scorpio]

Hey All,

Lots of riders in the area that I've "waved" to in the 1 week that I've had my new 07 ninja.

So, why not all of us meet at Hacienda Crossings (Regal IMAX), there's a starbucks, jamba juice etc...Maybe you guys do hook up there - I'm new to the area but posting this anyway.

Good way for to meet some more fellow riders, and enjoy a summer's worth of sane skillful riding.

Let's pick a date and time!

[NEW2YSR50]

I live right near the imax let me know when you want to ride

[SB22]

Danville rider here, I'm up for a meet :-)

[The1SeanE]

Pleasanton rider down for meeting up.

[webmouth247]

livermore rider... down for meeting too. early rides durung the week, fridays and sat rides are good for me.

[speed_scorpio]

Great to hear some responses. Let's all meet on Sunday 30th - I'm guessing none of us have to work, forecast looks fine for that day - do some riding, grab lunch - open to suggestions.

If anyone wants to ride prior to that just shoot me a pm.

See you all on the roads.

[Dubbington]

I've been looking to meet some local riders. I'm in San Ramon riding an '07 Fz6. Sunday sounds good, Im on spring break, no work or school.

[speed_scorpio]

Jay - Hope ur havin fun in Vegas and thanks for the pics!

Sunday between 1-2pm sound fair?

I live off of Tassajara also (next to the new Lowes).

We should get a few riders out - as there's loads of Barfers around this area!

[skvirdi]

San Ramon rider here....I would have loved to join you guys but unfortunately my Sunday is booked... :(

Put me down for the 2nd meet though :D

cheers,
S

[RSD]

Danville rider here. Would love to hook up with some local riders also.
Any motard local riders in the group?
Sunday's are not a day I ride though, can anyone ride on weekdays??
Keep me posted on the next ride
Keep the rubber side down and have a good safe time

[Ookie007]

I'm outa work at 2 on a sunday and might be interested in meeting up. We can do the tassajara fun run down to crowcaynon -> redwood -> pinehurst

[AkatomboR6]

I'm in Danville, off Tassajara as well :ride

[Ed.]

So is it Sunday at 11-12 then?

[speed_scorpio]

Meet n Greet @ Starbucks starting @ 12:30pm :Party

Option 1: kickstands @ 1pm
Option 2: kickstands @ 2pm

We can park the bikes next to the ticket booth next to the entrance doors at the Cinema on the right side (looking towards the cinema) - safer with all the traffic in the parking lots on a Sunday, and will give us a chance to take some pics of the bikes "in formation". :cool

Official photographer position is open - volunteers welcome.

So just park ur bike and head on over to Starbucks.

[mikev]

DUBLIN/PLEASANTON/SAN RAMON/DANVILLE

Don't be so modest. He pwned Calaveras a couple weeks ago. :ride :laughing

[alva219]

Wow, that is epic laziness. There are less than 2 full pages. :laughing I'm not recapping. :x

[Dubbington]

what is the level for this ride? I have about 200 miles underneath me and one pass out tassajara to Las Positas and back. I really need to ride more.

[XJ650RJ]

If this is your first bike, and you only have 200 or so miles, you are NOT ready for a group ride. Don't mean to be blunt, but group rides are always more dangerous than solo or paired riding.

Go here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162143 and read every one of these twice. Take notes, re-read the bits you need to know.

I'm not trying to be a hardass, but if the leader & sweeper aren't paranoid about bringing together a bunch of folks who've never ridden together as a group, they should be. Headcounts, rally points, map(s) of the route, first aid and repair materials are necessary items, especially for the sweeper.

Case in point - I swept a group a couple of years ago, and the two leaders had gotten drunk the night before, and were still hung over from that night. They were not competent to ride, much less lead the group. One had to park her bike and I had to give her a ride through the rest of the trip. And she almost hurled on me. Barfer, for sure... :laughing

Oh, and for what it's worth, I'm not the one who pwned Calaveras a couple of weeks ago. My bike has been 'resting' for the winter, and I just yesterday finished replacing the head gasket, setting the valves, and swapping out the exhaust. So it wasn't me.

That reminds me of the Barfer who had a license plate that said 'OWNZ9'. Until someone pulled out of a driveway and he T-boned it, almost fatally.

Anybody that 'ownz' will get 'pwned' eventually. Grim reality, folks. Oh, and paranoids live longer. Get used to it... :laughing

[speed_scorpio]

Alva now don't tell me ur too lazy to read YOUR OWN THREAD that I posted a response to INVITING u to this ride on Sunday:teeth

Dubbington u r more than welcome to come on bye for the meet n greet and meet fellow riders that can give u tips/ advice as mentioned in the above post.

As for group riding, I agree it needs coordination, sense, some skill. We don't want anyone feeling as though they are under any pressure - once we reach our destination (TBD) ride at ur own pace.

I'm breaking this zx6r in so can't go all out just yet.

The purpose of this meet n ride is to meet fellow riders, exchange cell numbers and ride whenever and wherever with whomever!

Ok so what route should we ride on Sunday?! I'm guessing we have around 8-10 riders coming down.

[madman510]

I live in San Ramon, moved here about and year and a half ago. I've been wanting to meet with riders around the area, usually out riding solo. Might have to come by, meet new peeps and ride along.

[AkatomboR6]

i got about 1200 miles.. am i good to go? :teeth

[NEW2YSR50]

COME ON OUT TO THE MEET. If you listen to much then you'll never be ready for a group ride. Show up and have a good time!!:ride

[NEW2YSR50]

i got about 1200 miles.. am i good to go? :teeth

Yes your good to go

[KennyMonster]

I will show up if someone lends me a bike :teeth

Maybe I will get lucky and get my bike fixed by then...

[speed_scorpio]

When: March 30th (arrive @ 12:30pm depart approx 1:30pm)

Where: Haceinda Crossings, Dublin (Starbucks)

Even if you can't go for the ride, you can always come and hang out for a bit. Hoping for a good turnout so we can make this a regular event going forward.

If someone is runninga little late, send me a pm and I'll give u my cell # to coordinate. :thumbup

[Mistyz]

If I'm done riding in the south bay by then I will for sure come by, since, well, there's no hiding when I ride by and I HAVE to pass by to get to my house. :rofl

[XJ650RJ]

Lemme clarify here, m'kay? I'm not 'Da Boss' of the meet, so I'm not making any rules here. Far as I'm concerned, it's a get-together, social-gathering sort of thing at *buks.

If there's a ride afterwards, and if I sweep, my stress level will be much lower if everyone in the riding group knows 'The Pace', there's no squidly behavior, and all have enough miles in the saddle to ride well within a group. No stoppies, wheelies, rolling endos, etc. while in the same lane, or stunts that endanger anybody else, draw the attention of any LEOs, or scare children... :laughing

My favorite rides are ones that don't have hospitals, EMTs, ambulances, life-flights, etc.

And I'm only bringing enough flares and first aid equipment for one accident. Anybody that requires the use of these items gets to pay me for replacements... :twofinger :laughing

are you seriously bringing flares?:rofl come on dude this is a group ride relax and dont sweep if your worried. How else is he going to learn to ride. This is a public forum allowing public riders to get together. Your not responsible for anything and if your that worried then dont go on the ride but dont tell someone that they cant come out.:mad

[XJ650RJ]

are you seriously bringing flares?:rofl come on dude this is a group ride You evidently have never been at the scene of an accident. If you were the one who crashed, wouldn't you want to prevent more accidents? That's what the flares are for. I'd venture to guess that you were never in the Boy Scouts or military.

relax and dont sweep if your worried. How else is he going to learn to ride. I do relax, once I know how the others ride in a group. How else is Dubbington going to learn? That's up to him. Hopefully, he'll learn the right things. I've crashed my bikes more times than I can count (amnesia will do that to ya...) and I tried to learn from each one. What I learned the best was that I'd rather learn from good examples and other's mistakes. They cost less... Oh, and spelling nazi alert - there's an apostrophe between the n & t in 'don't', and it's 'you're worried'... :laughing

This is a public forum allowing public riders to get together. Umm... That is either solipsitic or nonsense, your choice.

Your not responsible for anything If I'm sweeping the group, then I'm responsible for group safety. That's what the sweep position is for. I'm gonna make an assumption here... You don't go on very many group rides, or at least group rides that are safe.


and if your that worried then dont go on the ride but dont tell someone that they cant come out.:mad I'm concerned, not worried. There's a difference. I'm not telling Dubbington he can't come on a group ride, I'm speaking from experience and referring to the BARF Group Rides stickies that he needs to put on many more miles in the saddle before HE will feel comfortable in a group ride.

Unless you're his mommy or daddy and you're going to convince him he'll do it to make you happy. :laughing

[speed_scorpio]

Can't wait to meet Dubbington :rofl

Luvin the above posts :ride

[Mistyz]

Geeze, guess I will stay home. No EMT's welcome. :cry :twofinger

Not sure if I'm taking out the old DR650 or the new one yet.. I'm thinkin I may leave the new one at home since it does handle differently than what I'm used to. We'll see. :ride

[XJ650RJ]

Hey, Misty -

You're not only invited, you're specifically requested to attend. Not necessarily in an 'official' capacity, tho... :laughing

I've done sticks, diagnostics, and AARs, but when it comes to stitching up and artificial respiration, you're elected.... :laughing

[Mistyz]

SWEET!! I mean. Um. Play safe. Don't make me practice my mad skills, yo. :laughing

[Dubbington]

Can't wait to meet Dubbington :rofl

Seriously...I feel like a red-headed step child....:nerd

Its all good though...I wouldn't have asked if I didnt feel it was important. Plus I have read that some rides specify they are not for beginners which I am...no harm no foul. Similar to surfing...it was always difficult taking a new surfer out, felt I watched them more than the waves.

It will be fun to meet local riders and put a face behind a ridiculous name...

[gxstr7]

Danville rider here. Would love to hook up with some local riders also.
Any motard local riders in the group?
Sunday's are not a day I ride though, can anyone ride on weekdays??
Keep me posted on the next ride
Keep the rubber side down and have a good safe time

Im in Livermore and a tard rider...also i ride weekdays.
PM me when u wanna ride

[XJ650RJ]

Then you should check out the weekday Dublin/Pleasanton group ride, it's been a BARF standard for the last 5 years or more. We meet at the Las Positas/Hopyard Lucky's at 11:30 on Wednesdays or Thursdays, leave at almost exactly 11:45, do a loop down Foothill into Sunol, go up Palomares, and come back into Pleasanton along the frontage road. A quick group lunch at the Stoneridge Taco Bell, and everybody splits to go back to 'normal' stuff.

Scott Nelson is the group lead, OFG is the honorary second in command, and I sweep. Yes, I've had lots of practice sweeping. I've thought about mounting a broom on my bike just for fun. OFG rides a KTM 960, so 'tards are cool.

The weekday Dublin/Pleasanton ride looks good, did not know it was a weekly thing. I can typically break away for a few hours to ride.
Maybe a lazy question, is it posted under group rides? How do I find out what day the ride is on?
Thanks

Hey guys, i'm going to be riding back from Stockton tomorrow sometime and was going to use this as an opportunity to ride an east bay ride on the way home. What is the route going to be? Hopefully something heading south? If no, i'll probably stop by to say hiGh then head down 84, calveras?

Obliviously, someone's got no sense of humour.

Of course I have a sense of humor, I can's stop laughing at the dumb shit you have been posting. :thumbup

So. I would have gone, but I was stranded at the Lick observatory on Mt. Ham because someone fucked with my wheels. I will post a pic and explanation later.

[speed_scorpio]

Thanks 2 every1 that showed up - great meeting u guys - the gal will give her explanation soon :laughing Jay u didn't show, hope ur half-peg didn't fall off!

Let me know what u all thought, and if this was a good meeting spot. The next ride can be more "planned" ie. destination decided prior etc.

Ride Safe n Look Good :cool

[XJ650RJ]

Did you get witnesses & statements from them?

[XJ650RJ]

Yeah, I had a good time, we should definitely do it again. :thumbup :laughing

Yea there are a few unsettling bumps on a few curves, but that's just part of the ride..and some gravel on one of the stretches that was unavoidable and hit my faceshield and got some minor scratches on it!

Anyone been to the Fremont meet that happens on Thursdays evenings?

Mount diablo, santa cruz erc should be some rides we can plan for on the weekend!

[livestrongrider]

I had a good time hanging and riding with everyone today. I've done Redwood road on a bicycle before....way different this time. Would anyone be up for a ride in the hills east of Livermore?

As per the report - this calls for a day out riders.

We can hook up at the same spot and head south to Fremont (automall/880) pick up the guys from there (I can set that up) and head out to santa-cruz?

Ideas welcome.

I had a good time hanging and riding with everyone today. I've done Redwood road on a bicycle before....way different this time. Would anyone be up for a ride in the hills east of Livermore?

Hey Matt, nice to meet you :)
