Sorry guy's,
NO more "mobile part's posting's"

We are getting close...  ;)

I just hope the weather improves in the next couple of weeks. We're still getting snow here in the SF Bay Area (!).

Greg...
It snowed right where we are going to be yesterday....
But it had not happened in 15 years...
and this is in Central California.. not Canada... ::)
By next week end it will be nice again!  ;D

Glenn,
Looks like Supervision is not going to make it. He's committed to a Vintage Trailer meet.
I am still planning to be there and hopefully will bring the family.
I currently have the radiator off and cams out and am waiting for shims.
I found one of my choke bodies vibrated completely out of the carbs, and the screw we found in the crotch of the motor last spring, held the secondary venturi which was just rattling around loose.
Maybe it'll run better when I get it back together.
I'm also replacing the radiator which appears to have a pinhole leak and of course the Stator which fried on the ride back to Kingman on the fall ride.
I may have someone ride my second V as well.
See you 3-31

[glennw]

Craig, I'm glad I'm not the only one not ready!
I will be by 3/31 though.
Sorry Dave can't make it..
Bring the family! They will love the area!

That remindes me guys...

How many ladies will be coming? I want to make sure to get them some discount coupons for my friends gift shop in Solvang to use if they are intersted.

 I've done the starter clutch and PORed the tank.  Still have to swap out the front end and put on new tires, but I will be ready.  As far as the women go, I will be bringing my wife and daughters along.  Scary when you think about it, my 5 year old daughter likes to shop more than my wife.  And she can shop!!!

I did the front end bearings and changed the brake pads. I took the little "V" to work today, runs fine except. The brakes are FUBAR'ed and now I get a tank slapping at high speed. I still don't know if I will make the  spring ride. The retirement is on for the 21st of April, I'm getting that ready. I'll try some other things when I get the time,
Don ???

Okay, made a reservation for that weekend.  Whether my wife will be in a car or on the back of my bike is still a question (got to get her Radian fixed...), but we plan on being there, patina and all.

Glen,
   Hey it's almost time.  Any info on the roads we will be riding?
                         Chris

[glennw]

Chris, It depends on if we want to take shorter rides or an all day Saturday ride....

Here is one I know would be an all day ride on some great roads....

Some of the guys have mentioned HWY 33...
We could do that... but it would be an all
day deal. Here is how I would do it..
We take the 246 through Santa Ynes over the 154 to Santa Barbara and the 192... (192 is basically a residential mountain road through Santa Barbara & Monticeto)..all the way to Hwy 150. This keep us off the freeway.. mostly low speed twisties... To the end of this point I would say 90 min total.? The 150 takes around you Lake Casitias to the 33 in Ojai. (30 more min). Here is the long part.. for the start of the 33 to the 166 (90-120 min) The only way around goes all the way to the 166... Then we go left all the way back to about 15 miles before Santa Maria and the 101 to what is a neat little mountain road: Tepusquet Canyon. (60-75 min). This runs into Foxen Canyon and drops you back into Los Olivos about 5 miles from Buellton...(45 min). I put the time I would estimate for each leg since I been on all these before. We could gas in Ojai and in New Cayuma...maybe lunch / gas. We would have to get moving by about 9 am to get all this in.
The option would be to do some shorter rides. There are lots of good ones around here..
CROV guys what do you think?

[visionless]

Glen,
  I've been on a number of those roads and they would be alot of fun.  That stretch down 166 on a Saturday afternoon would not be. (Way too many cars)  Also, that is a long day, almost as long as our Kingman day.  What ever you decide to do is great by me.  No matter what we do, it will be a day on motorcycles with friends.  It doesn't get any better.

I have some good shorter rides in mind in the area.  ;)

[gbranche]

Ryan and I took CA-33 out of Ojai last June. I can vouch for its "fun level", at least for the section before Lockwood Valley Rd. IIRC, the section after that intersection - not so much...

I have no experience with the rest of the proposed routing, though. The boring section of 33 may be worth it to ride the rest of the route.

Greg

[glennw]

We could run the route "backwards" that way we end up on 166 earlier in the day... or we could just turn around at Lockwood Valley and do it over! I agree Hwy 33 is that good from Ojai to Lockwood Valley.? ?;D
Some of the shorter rides I had in mind were: Foxen Canyon Road, Figuroa Mountian Road, Tepusquet Canyon.
and some others.. there are plenty of good roads here.
?
I try to post a few more rides..

33 will have good open turns, wide smooth and grippy is my twenty year old recollection... :-\
We'll try to drive the camera ahead at smoke breaks and setup the tripod for some twisty action shots as the group goes by this time..

And we might see a California Condor while we're at it!!!!! ::) 8)
