California XSives Rally

rally section

can one of the mods move this to the rally section so its easier to find ??

[LoHo]

Garth, when we are closer to the rally, I'll start a thread on the Rally List. I have found that hardly anyone looks at any forums other than the Member's Lounge and the XS/XJ Discussion ones. Want to die a slow and pointless death? Post a question on the "Other Bikes" forum....

[cywelchjr]

Hey! I check all the forums on a regular basis. Granted, I may be an exception, but hey, I get lots of internet time at work.

Anyone have a spare amphibian bolt on kit for a 79 XS?. Would love to attend, but the water in between the two continents is a major dragggggg.

I haven't experienced any problems with water travel, although I would suggest a Standard tank and perhaps a spare tank on the back for a Trans Pacific crossing. If you catch the waves right the gas milage is really quite reasonable.

Yeah, Ed, but look what that salt water did to your pipes!

Okay, I made my ressies for the KOA in Santa Margarita, Kabin #28, the one we took over last year. Brant from Colorado may take #29, the one I had last year, and the next one up is #30, in case a couple of you tenters want to pool your resources and have a bed and electricity instead.

As a teacher in a public school, things will be a little tighter this year, but I think we can still make a go of it for the Rally. Someone let Tkat know, and Roo, and any other likely suspects. The routine will be the same as last year, but with a more organized ride system to replace our "Let's ride fast until we're lost"-method we tried last year.

And I'll bring my own trash can.

nice

I can't wait, how will the weather be there that time of year?

Garth, the weather was great last year. This year should be good, too, but you'll have to channel Karnak The Magnificent if you want a forecast 5 months in advance.

Loho, I told Roo know about the rally when we went riding last weekend but I'll tell him again so he gets it scheduled....


Regards,

Scott

Summer school?

Mike, are you guys having summer school this year? Ours is way cut back and i may not get a spot. If so, it's the first time in 15 years I'll have a summer off...and be short that money....

[psycoreefer]

I'd like to attend, I just moved to NV, near Tahoe so it shouldn't be to far for me, but I'd like to run it by SWMBO first. Any chance you guys from CO come through NV and then head south, if so we could meet up and ride together.

rant, rambeling

Wife has screwed this one up for me.... again.
Been working my heiney off to pay bills around here. Just after starting this driving job she got accepted in to nursing school, then proceeded to quit her job because "work and school is too much" (not too much for everyone else).
She graduates May 4th (yay). She will get a job very quickly as she and I both know people in the local hospitals and they seem to be begging for her to work with them.
Because wife is terrible at paying household bills and I'm not around much, her sister is our "accountant". Sis-in-law and I were talking about bills when wife goes to work (she does have a part-time job now that helps with some bills but I pay 95%). When I told wife of "the plan" she said it wouldn't work. She says she's only going to work 2 days a week so her pay will be what it is now. What a waste of 2 1/2 years in nursing school!!!!
So, if she dosen't provide more $ to the family I won't be able to take time off work.
I'm making more money than I ever have in my life. My last paycheck (for 2 weeks) was more than I made in the whole year of 1979.

Pat,
You NEED to tell SWMBO that WITHOUT the weekend off for the ride, she will be working more at keeping YOU happy! BTDT, got a GF now. Let her know when you are working that hard, you DO need the "recharge" time. I'm with you, three days a week will probably help so you can do things, like make the rally.

Pat,

Bummer. That's cold.

One of my best friends runs a resturant and is there six days a week open to close and his wife does home appraisals. When everything was hot and she could have been busy she was only doing one or two a day. As she confessed to me "She had a life". Never mind they had just spent a wad renovating an old historic house.

Now she is playing tennis waiting for things to pick up and my bud is still working 6 days out of seven payin the bills.

[Special Ed]

Pat,
That is just totally not right. Maybe SWMBO should be modified to SWMBI: She Who Must Be Informed. I'm just sayin'...
Hope to see you down there bro!

Hey! That was fine by me! 'Course, I wasn't leading...
