Who's Riding this Memorial Day Weekend? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Gixxerdale · 05-25-2005, 11:29 PM

My ride plans for this weekend have been blown out of the water! Originally it was a 3 day weekend riding around the Sierras. Had that planned since this time last year. Then that got cut to a marathon 1 day ride to the Sierras and back on Saturday, like 700 or 800 miles worth. Followed by Sunday in the Santa Monica Mountains. Now it's a weekend at the in laws in Riverside!

On the plus side, I'll trailer the Gixxer out with us (I don't leave home without it!) to the in laws and then head for Big Bear, catch Hwy 18 down the farside! Palm to Pines Hwy 74 is close by there too! At least I can get some riding in while the other half does her family thing!

I'd like to do some riding, but Im not sure of my work schedule (I'll find out tomorrow), and Im not sure as to where to go, would be nice to hook up with
other riders for a ride...

Superbird · 05-26-2005, 01:05 AM

I cant.... im in the freaking desert and i dont have a bike any more.... You guys collect money for me to get a bike hehe

**inspiron** · 05-26-2005, 02:38 AM

How about a Suzuki Quad with baloon tires - that would probably be alot of fun in the desert...

Superbird · 05-26-2005, 04:15 AM

I'll ride all three mornings . . . anywhere from 2-5 hours, depending on what time I get up in the morning <. . . or how much beer I drink the night before>.

which day will you be riding ? lf Sunday, then perhaps I can findyou in the mountains ?

sunny · 05-26-2005, 01:28 PM

i may be out and about. depends on if i'm successful at getting the new blank fender to fit, get it rat-can painted, and get the lights wired up right.

probably a no.

Dave2122 · 05-26-2005, 02:54 PM

If I can get a day without any rain and maybe a bit of sun I will get out for a blast. The weather here in the Northeast feels like late fall not late spring!

I'll be out riding Saturday for sure. Sunday is also a possibility, just nothing set yet.

c50tiger · 05-26-2005, 10:09 PM

I'll be out riding some, but all the guys in my club are pretty well stuck doing family things this weekend so no longer rides for me.

trini0 · 05-27-2005, 01:41 AM

I was going to join up with some riders from the Orlando area, for a ride to Daytona, but I realised that it would put my miles over the 600 mark, and
I dont want to miss that first important maintaince...
