Barf is interested in having an "official team" so to speak in the Cal 24
The dates for this year are June 13th - 15th 2008. The Start/Finish line will be in Dunnigan Ca. www.cal24.com <--for info.

This is limited to 2 folks and this would be how it works.

1. You have to be an active barf member.
2. We would request that you start a thread about the event or we can supply a new tool for you. The barf blog to follow your getting ready and the event.
3. A few pics of the above. We realize you will be riding your ass off so actual event photo's other than the start and end of your day of madness would suffice.
4. You would have to run a barf sticker on each side of your bike (supplied)

In return we will pay your registration for the event. 200 clams each person.
You will of course keep the shirt and all the other stuff that comes with your entry. We would also give you a special barf title BARF Cal 24 team under your avatar for the year (if you want it!)

More info can be found in this thread: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=227887
Entries are limited.

We would like to get an email stating that you agree with the above and a little info on how you think your the worthy one and how you would approach the request on the thread. You should also include what your planning to ride and past experience and any other stuff you think would make your case for being a paid 24 hour pro :teeth

No Gall and I will review the applications and make an announcement on our team selection. Due to the amount of folks allowed to get in we will need to get this set quickly. I have PM'd the RallyMaster to get more detail. When he responds we will set a cut off date for applications, but I doubt it would go past January 1.

Part of some of the new fun stuff that you will see from barf in 2008.

I'm down... I did Sea to SF in 18hrs(900 some miles on the route I took) on a GSXR750 through that damn heat wave last summer. Add a couple of years of courier work and racing(organizing and competing,) sounds like fun, have to get a different bike though, been looking for a DL650...

hmmm....

might be interested.

Did the 04 Cal 24, so know a little about what its like
 
I'd like to nominate AndyM. He'll be too modest to volunteer himself. AndyM is always going on that CAL24. Heh always completes the rally, just not so high in the standings. Practice makes perfect :ride
 
I wish I had the gonads for it.

We'll see how comfortable the tenhundo is once I get done with helibars, heated grips and lower pegs and maybe I'll do it on my own in the future :teeth
 
If you guys are interested in some extra info. I know the rally master for this event. I am a staff volunteer. You may see my up at the start/finish line or at one of the check points.

If your interested send me a PM.
 
Hmmm, I may sign up for this, but it sounds like others here are better suited for sponsorship.
 
I nominate Bronto!!!

That guy is hardcore.

I would apply, if there was a decimal point, between the 2 and the 4.
 
I'm in! I've done 4 of them (2004 - 2007), and am certainly looking forward to this year's event. I'd be happy to run BARF stickers on the bike, but Tom Melchild should probably clarify if that's within the rules (the iron butt prohibits any sponsorship on the bike itself, but the cal24 <> iron butt). I've placed:

2004 - 9th link to story in newsletter, pages 2 & 3
2005 - DNF (electrical gremlins) link to story
2006 - 12th link to story
2007 - 14th link to story

I'd be happy to start a BARF thread on it, and would be happy to take pics of the event (I already do, but would now make sure to post 'em on BARF).

Just want to send a big thanks to Budmand and NoGall for doing this. Very cool.

I'm looking forward to the posts/blogs of the competitors.

Nice 919, Andy! What did you do to make it Cal24-worthy?
Cool BARF plans, y'all!
