Title: West Coast DIMBY!! - May 27th - 30th Post by: SacDuc on February 28, 2011, 08:59:18 PM WEST COAST DIMBY!!
Memorial Day Weekend Friday May 27th - Monday May 30th Where is it? The 2011 West Coast DIMBY will be hosted by SacDuc and Polpetta in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA. Map HERE (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Santa+Barbara,+CA&aq=0&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.710275,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Santa+Barbara,+California&z=11). If you are going to attend just send me a PM and I will send you the address. We are just a few blocks from the beach and less than a mile from the harbor. How can I get there? MOTORCYCLE: Ride your bike dummy! There are at least two people riding down from the Bay Area as well as folks coming from MoorPark and Ojai. If you are coming up from LA you should pack a sweater. And rain gear. Maybe a lunch. And your GPS. Ah screw it, you should probably take the car. [cheeky] CAR: We Have friends driving in from both San Diego and the Bay Area. If you want to hitch a ride I can put you in contact with these people. TRAIN: The Amtrak station is about a mile from our house. If you want to take the train in we'll be happy to pick you up. OR the Santa Barbara Ducati Dealer is right next to the train station. And they rent Hyper Motards and Multistradas! Where can I stay? OUR HOUSE: So here's the deal, our house is tiny. 1100sqft. And our lot is only a 1/4 acre. But if you can find a spot to pitch a tent or a space to lay a sleeping bag/air mattress on the floor it is all yours. Or you could call dibs on the hammock on the front deck. The cool part is that we are only a few blocks from the beach and have ocean views from the front and back yards. All are welcome. Crash where you can. CAMPING ELSEWHERE: There are some beautiful places to camp around here. I personally don't work hard all year just to pretend I'm homeless on the weekends, but you can find places HERE (http://www.santabarbaraca.com/hotels-and-hideaways/camping-and-rv-parks/) El Capitan is just gorgeous. HOTELS: So you don't want to stay in a tiny house with three huge dogs, huh? Being a tourist town, there are a lot of hotels nearby, but that weekend they are likely to be expensive. But everything from a Motel 6 to a five star resort is available. I suggest booking a room early and using expedia, travelosity or hotels.com to find a deal. This site might be helpful: http://www.santabarbaraca.com/hotels-and-hideaways/ (http://www.santabarbaraca.com/hotels-and-hideaways/) Can I rent a bike? Hell Yeah! Santa Barbara Ducati is just down the road from our house and they rent Multistradas and HyperMotards. CHECK IT OUT (http://www.ducatiofsb.com/default.asp?page=rentals) What is going on that weekend? FRIDAY NIGHT: Friday we will likely just be eating, drinking and being merry. There are plenty of clubs and bars to hit if that is your thing. SATURDAY: Group ride in the morning! A parade pace from Hwy 101 to the 150 out to Ojai. Breakfast at Eggs n Things. Then it is high speed twisty time up the 33. [moto] Lots of music, food, drink, hookers, blow, goats, Mongoloid Dwarves and mashed potatoes, because that's what kind of party this is going to be. I will be spatchcocking things. Also, there will be squirt guns filled with bourbon and a few prizes to given out for things like "longest traveled" "most modified bike" and "Angriest German". SUNDAY: Big ol' bacon breakfast. Then there are options. I'm thinking the MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM (http://www.motosolvang.com) in Solvang would be in order. The run up the 154 has some nice sweepers and some nice scenery. Perhaps some beach time if'n y'all want. Who is going to be there?

You'll be put in the back yard and be given bread and water when you finish the chores.

Folks that know me dont try to keep up with my convoluted thinking process [laugh] I was shopping for VFR800s and Gen2 Bandit 1200s. I ended up with a 2001 1200S with less than 8K on the clock. I have spent the balance of the money I got for my Monster on bits for the dreadnought...Cogent shock, RaceTech valves and springs, Yosh pipe, jet kit, tires, brake lines, etc. Title: Re: West Coast DIMBY!! - May 27th - 30th Post by: The Bacon Junkie on March 24, 2011, 08:21:28 AM Dreadnought reference = [thumbsup]
