2009 Rydther Rally - BARF in Hawthorne (Sept 25-27)

Home :twofinger

960 miles & no tickets :banana

the clock on the bmw is now miraculously correct, and I have some hazy dreams of riding my motorcycle in a bar or in desert ? :dunno
 
Home also, about an hour ago. A little over 1000 miles for the weekend. :ride Went home through the park, and checked out Cherry Lake Rd, etc. to get over to 108. I'll have some more goat trails in my pocket for next year. :teeth

It was so great being on a rally with all of you again, and equally wonderful to make new friends. :love
 
team corolla is home! :D

great meeting up with everyone for dinner in hawthorne! hope to make the next trip
 
Left NV at 0630. Not home yet. But hanging out by the pool in Morgan Hill. Was so hot
going through Merced to 152 that I jumped in the pool with all my gear on. Apparently my SPOT failed to go into tracking this
morning.
 
770 Miles later im nice and relaxed on the couch. Nice weekend





oh !!!! and I had a black bear cross right infront of me ....... yes loud exhaust do save lives....:wow
 
Home, but I think I left my liver back in Hawthorne

Didn't get a chance to see you after we left Joe's Tavern, but right after you left the parking lot, a cop was hot on your tail. He was driving around the hotel parking lot looking for you :laughing It was too funny.
 
Home safe with the family, had a blast, can't wait for the next tour. :)

Good stuff guys -- back in one piece, a bit sore and tired -- will sleep well tonight!
 
Home @ 6:30pm. 3 days, 1,050 miles on the clock... Pics later :)
 
6:30?! What happened to you leaving early? How in the hell did I beat you home? Come to think of it, your bike was still there when I left this morning.

I heard Scopio IV leave sometime after 6am. I went to breakfast at 7am. You were gone by the time I came back.

I left at 9am with 3 others... Took a long detour :toothless

It's the 6:30 Curse for the whole weekend, I swear. That's what I get for being mileage greedy, haha!
 
And we're home safe, sound, and sore. What an epic weekend! I sweated out my hangover on our trip through the valley. I'm going to sleep well tonight. My writeup with pics will be coming in a day or two. :thumbup
 
I left my heated vest in someone's bag, dont recall who it was, think it was Paul (an older, grey haired gentlemen)

PM me if you are have it please :)

Paul asked me about it this morning. He's bigdogbites.

How's your mom?
 
Home again home again giggedy gigg, the stream of consciousness version:

I'm sore and tired and dehydrated. This weekend was so very awesome! My clown mask is probably perma-dented from being shoved into the saddlebag in the baking heat. Yosemite was beautiful and I will never go through there en route to somewhere else again. I met some amazing people. I experienced the most awesome motorcycle parking EVAR. My hands are numb. Ordnance museum being closed could not stop the fun. Rick looks funny with pointy boobs. Waking Jason/dub up this morning was funnier. My ass muscles are sore. Damn good pie.

I want a copy of those cheesecake pics of me in Joes and with the mask.
