Cali Rally?

[psycoreefer]

Looks like I'll be there with the motorhome. That means I've got a stove and small frig for food/cooking. My brother will be meeting us there from Santa Clarita and.....psycoreefer, I can haul you and your bike if you'd rather. Leave Fri. morning & back Sun afternoon/evening.

P.S. I'm not much of a cook, but I mean the appliances are available.

Thanks, but I'm going to pass, my plan right now is to work half a day and then take off sometime around 12ish on the bike. Looks like I may be w/o family after all. To be honest I've got such poor planning skills, and SWMBO changes her mind so frequently that there is no way I'll know what the hell I'm doing before Friday morning.... .....and even then things are subject to change without notice. Just know that if you see a guy on an 11 come up behind you and lay on the horn its a friendly kinda honk....

OK, well I'm puting a new stereo in the camper so I'll have tunes to break the monotteney(didn't spell that right I'm sure). If you see me, I'll be in a 22ft Winnie with a Yellow/Black BMW K1200s behind. Otherwise see you there.

Sandy has me set up for an RV site (57 I think) in the same general area I was parked last year. Unless they changed it all around, there are plenty of tent sites near there. If you making reservations give her Katter and she'll locate you.

There seems to be a couple of Cali Rally sites goin’ on. I kinda lost track for a while. As of now I plan on making it down and camping out, so I hope there is a tent site I can rent.
I can take a turn at cooking.
I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting new people. And of course the ride: it’s all about the ride, right?

I have NOT reserved a site, as of yet. My plan was to share with someone, or be in the "group" site. I'm trying to get the carbs working properly on the big bike, as I need to carry all my stuff this time! Ed and I will probably blast down Friday afternoon, and I hope to arrive about 7:00pm.
I also need to work on a spare transmission for Ed's bike, as he is now down to 3,4,and 5 for gears! See everyone in a few weeks!

[psycoreefer]

From what I've heard the group site should have plenty of space, never been there or seen it but its been said several times. I do have a site reserved for me and SWMBO and our son, but we are happy to share the site, so long as "language" is watched around our parrot, oh wait, I mean our 3yr old.

this is the one in the rally forum, the california xsives thread is in members lounge!

[psycoreefer]

Has anyone come up with a "route"? Just wondering if we have a planned ride saturday or if its going to be a less organized ride fast until we start to get hungry and then figure out Where the heck we are?

[GARTHXS]

I was hoping to do the naciemento fergusun ride but I heard it is not special friendly being at least 114 miles between gas stops, not a problem for me with the 81h tank

[psycoreefer]

hey, I just put a 81 venture tank on my special so I'm in... all the other guys can carry a gas can right?

[GARTHXS]

Oh thats right you got that freebie good one

I just got back from Santa Cruz and I took the Nacimiento/Fergusson Road to the coast then all the way down to San Luis Obispo.

There is ~$5.00 gallon gas in Gorda, CA, about five miles south of the Nacimiento/Fergusson Road on the Pacific Coast Highway.

There is also gas available on-post at the Fort Hunter-Liggett AFEES station. They're having summer war games again. You need a credit card because the pumps are not attended but it's not $5.00 a gallon. Current bike registration and proof of insurance is required to enter the post.

Planned Rides

I believe that I still have the Roadrunner Magazine article that shows four (4) loop rides out of the Paso Robles area. I was planning on bringing that along (again) this year since we didn't do any of them last year. Naciemiento - Ferguson road may have been one of the loops.

OK for you guys who have been to the KOA before, are there plenty of trees on/around the group site? Reason I ask is...
it looks like I'm going to be solo - due to money, gonna cost an extra 200 just to drive the family wagon down and back, so I'm thinking of canceling my reservation and pitching in with the group site folks, however I hate sleeping on the ground, much prefer to hang out in one of these however they do require a tree or two

There are trees but from what I remember they're not really useful for stringing a hammock. There is a shelf on the uphill side of the site where someone pitched a tent last year but was not very level because it slopes down toward the site proper.

The site is basically a flat space at the top end of the road cut out of the spur of a hill with other sites cut in steps below it. The restrooms/showers are just down the hill from the adjacent site.
