Two-up Group Ride 12/6!!! (Weather permitting)

[ducnymph]

One more to the list: DucNymph/Tiffany

I was surprised to find out my lady wants to go 2 up! This should be so much fun!  [moto]

Mi dispiace!!! The Groupie has just informed me that she won't be able to go on the Two-Up Group Ride!     She wanted to give as much advance notice as possible - very sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused MM!   

Well, an open spot awaits for some lucky person. Jackie's in NYC then, so I can't even twist her arm.

All right sports fans... first post updated.  We're getting quite a crowd.     If we go a slow enough pace I don't mind having everyone together.  Otherwise it's probably better that we split up into a couple of groups. 

Doesn't appear that anyone is hoppin' to get on the back of my bike, so I can lead a (faster) group.  If someone else wants to step up to the plate, then that's fine, too.  I can be someone's pillion also.  It can be a game-time decision.  I'm going to volunteer my guy to be a sweep if no one else will do it.  So I'm still short a sweep and a leader.  I'm going to bring a handful of straws and we'll draw them the day of, suckas.

CharliesAngel - do you still have your unamed-yet-willing passenger lined up?  She's on the list, but it might be cool to have a little more info on her, like, if she's actually planning on coming, what her experience with bikes is, what kind of gear she has, etc.  We can match her up with the appropriate pilot after that and get her some apparel and what-not if she needs it.

I'm happy to lead or sweep as needed.

I was trying to arrange it so that you didn't have to do it for once...    I'll keep you in my back pocket though.

I just shot her an email reminding her that her response is of the essence here - she REALLY wants to go on this ride - but may have to do some Grace Cathedral thingy with the family... will advise asap!  I have an armored jacket, helmet that she can borrow.  She has her own leather pants (they aren't armored though) and regular boots.  I am kinda hoping that I can borrow Petemg's extra set of Ladies armored gloves (will ask him when he gets back into town).  I think that she rode a bike when she was in the Peace Corps in Thailand... will report more on that as wll if she ends up joining us!  Thanks again!

DQ is making noises that he might not be available to cupcake me, so if he's not available, is there another pillion seat still open?

I'll stop making noises now. I'm going! So wave to the CHP in the airplane as I wheelie, babe

BTW - Happy to lead or sweep, as needed.

BTW - Anyone else coming from San Francisco? We may want to meet at 8:30 somewhere in SF and group ride it up to the group ride [moto]

Church vs. motorcycling...why should that be a hard choice?

Is a compromise in order?

Like motorcycling through a church.

Don't give me ideas...

If you get the details of the SF meet (and any other locations) together, I'll put it in the first post. 

Also, please keep the shenanigans to a minimum.  You know the drill with the group.  If you get pulled over for a ticket I'm giving the group strict instructions to leave you, and point and laugh as they pass by.

Fair enough

How's about the SF group meets at 8:30 in front of Zeitgeist?

With Joe in, I'm guessing Anne will be going with him, so I'm still passenger free.


Incidentally, I'll be trying out a new bike (R1200GS-yes, it's huge), so if anyone wants a pillion to have an actual comfy ride, that would be the bike to get on.

Okie dokie...so, until I hear otherwise I've paired you up with CharliesAngel's friend.  I'm assuming riding on the back of a Monster with a stranger for hours might turn her off of bikes for good--and although you might turn her off of men for good we're going to take that chance for her bootie's comfort.  

I'm going to plan on hopping on the back of someone's bike at this point.  It appears that we have more pilots than passengers.  I might be able to wrangle up another girl.  She's got some experience riding and weighs about 110 lbs.  She likes to sleep in though so 9:30 might be a bit too early in the day for her...
