      I'm planning/hoping to make it down for it. I was wondering when it was happening and had forgotten when it was (although not really where). Just gotta get my trunk lid fixed up and painted up and my tank fixed up. Other than that, and the fact that Brutus is not a show machine but is a nice solid daily rider, he is ready to go.

        Ed's bike is no show queen, and it still gets a LOT of attention! The great thing about this show is it's all gearheads, and we all look past the dirt/grease.
        Follow the link, and print out the advance registration form. If it's in before the 15th, it's $30, after that, it's $40. This IS for a vehicle and TWO people, so you can bring along someone who will enjoy this type of thing!

          Ok, just downloaded the form and printed it out. Will get it filled out and mailed off with a check. Brutus is looking forward to meeting Your's a Ed's bikes.

            Here are a few pics from previous Dream Machine events.

            This is a n experiment. Hope it works.
            If you are within riding distance of this event: DO IT! It is fabulous
            Special Ed!
            P.S. OK, for whatever reason "it" won't allow us to do a simple "click" on the address to view my pics. After I post this I'll see if I can enter the full website address to view the pics. If not I'll try something else.

            Old bikers never die, they're just out of sight!

            My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike. Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
            I've been riding since 1959.

              Quick bump! If you are NEAR the Central California area, THIS is the place to be!! Pre-register before Friday, and it's $30 to display your bike. If you just want to show up and see OUR BIKES, it's only $20 per person on Sunday, May1.
              It does NOT look like I can get a banner, as Jerry never got his back and the second one is on it's way back East, 5 WEEKS before the rally! Oh well, next year.......

                Unfortunately several family things have just come up that will prevent me from participating this year. I was looking forward and had filled out the form and had it ready to mail tomorrow as soon as I got my paycheck. But the family stuff has got to come first, and I have stuff till late the night before, and stuff that afternoon here in town for my granddaughter that I'm just not going to miss.

                I was really looking forward to getting down there and meeting Ed and getting to hopefully a few other guys as well. I don't think I will be able to make it down to the Calli Rally either but will have to see. Maybe next year, or maybe a little day rally and BBQ up here in our area a little later in the year.

                  How disappointing.

                  "I was really looking forward to getting down there and meeting Ed and getting to hopefully a few other guys as well."
                  I was looking forward to meeting you as well. Se la vive, eh? A summer BBQ sounds good.

                          Nice wave there, Ed!

                          The weather forecast looks good and I'm just finishing fiddling with the pre-trip checks for the bike so I'll be riding up north to Salinas tomorrow morning. I'll leave the motel early and meet up with everyone in Santa Cruz on Sunday morning for the ride to the Dream Machines event!

                            OK, so it's mid-week and I'm late with the pics, so sue me!
                            Scott was running a little late, so we didn't leave Santa Cruz until after 8:00am. We did a rocket ride the 50 miles from Ed's house to Half Moon Bay Airport, and got into the show!
                            There was so much to see, we didn't come close, but these pictures should show some of what we saw! click on the photo's to see them "full size".

                            The three amigos!

                            A BIG bike!

                            The stats on the beast!

                            Ed & Scott on the ride home

                            Kite Surfers off California 1 enjoying the wind!

                            Scott, with Ed behind just at the beach full of kite surfers

                            Ed and Scott at the light. The ocean took a lane off the road here!

                            Part of the easy ride home

                            Ever wonder how the rock band got it's name???

                            A Northrop Flying Wing! And yes, they DID fly it!
                            OK, that's it for now. The dial up people WILL have problems, and I DID shrink the photo's a LOT. If you want to see them all, full size, send me a PM. I have more that I didn't post.
                            Next year, WE NEED MORE BIKES! This was a great place to be!

                              I picked up a cold or something on the trip and haven't even unpacked the bike or pulled the pictures and videos off my mobile phone yet.

                              I did spot one picture from a series of Dream Machines pictures taken by Barbie Biker and posted to the HD binaries newsgroup of me and the XSesseses in the background behind a sweet '46 Indian that we parked next to. Those pictures have already made it to a web-to-news portal in South Africa!

                              Of course it's number 42 ... it's always 42.
