4th Annual Rydther Hawthorne Run, Sept 9-11, 2011!

2. Just curious, why hawthorne, nv:teeth? What's the story?:)

it's already been esssplained, but hawt-horn-e is all about the destination and the people as opposed to the ride there and the riding. it is a slight distinction when compared to other barf rallies, but an important one.

And lightning. Don't forget the lightning. Oh yeah, and the thunder too. :party

bah!, get there early enough and you can be lounging by the pool, watching the primordial electrical show over the eastern sierra, with chelada in hand whilst your friends fight it out with the roiling darkness

^^^^imagine this, with electricity (atypical, i consider myself lucky to have witnessed it) and it's still in the high 70s. if you don't mind the prospect of electrocution you could still go swimming....


this is where the shit goes down, if it hasn't already gone down elsewhere

This year Lulu shall perform the way she is supposed to. Planegrey I'll see your 105, hold it, and NOT have to fill my tank after 80 miles









:twofinger
 
Definite maybe for me. I thought Hawthorne was much more south near Vegas but it's almost due east from me so mebbe this would be a doable ride for me. I'm no ironbutt.
 
There was little snow, but hail, sleet, rain, wind storms and apocalyptic black clouds last year...it was still awesome the entire time!:teeth

I think that's about when I passed Horsepower and her friend in tow in the rain at about a buck o' five, on 395. :laughing
 
just for reference for those that don't do long distance (ironbutts if you will). it's 293 miles from SF to Hawthorne on the most direct route. it's about 330 miles going over one of the southern or norther routes (north?south of yosemite). spend the day checking out the sites, stopping often for breaks, and pictures...and you'll barely notice the miles. :)
 
After doing 10 West out of Texas, this is a short ass ride.
 
Even the 470mi from San Diego up through the desert isn't that bad as long as you have a Cammelbak and stretch a bit at each stop.
 
I'm in!!!!! I just ran it by SWMBO and she gave me the thumbs-up. I'm so glad I have the "touring" windscreen on the Superduke...ugh.... If anyone needs a roomie, just let me know. I haven't booked a room yet.

Depends a bit on the type of bike you'll be riding. This'll be the longest day my sport bike will have seen, but maybe I'll use this trip to justify a comfy new seat :cool
 
What *really* happened out there in Texas? :rofl

:later

And here I was thinking that we would have at least one thread on BARF that doesn't have a comment from Jeff.... You've already won your BARFIE, man. Geez. :p
 
Love, that's what happened in Texas Jeff, love for a slightly angry Indonesian.

:x

All the more reason for a sore butt on I-10. :shocker
 
I'm thinking about bringing some homebrew along for the trip. anyone have any preferences as to style, etc?
