Just do things! when I was planning this trip, I had 80% negative comments from people about doing this trip. even if they supported me in the end, their initial comments were negative in nature. not mean, just with a negative attitude. i don't like that. shit, that's no fun, think positive, and whatever comes your way, well, hell, deal with it.

Good shit dude, very true. I am noticing the very same phenomena. Kinda of a mix of people projecting their fears and part concern. I take all in stride that people care enough to even bother, but I'm still going, maybe even leaving earlier. I'm still tentative, depends on when the luggage shows up.

Thanks again for sharing :thumbup

pelikan, yellowgixxer and 280squaggler,

here are the dates and details for the road trip to Rocky Point.

i'll post it in the group ride section.

May 18th (thursday) take off early in the morning. and haul ass south. probably thru Hollister to Coalingua and then meet up with IH5 somewhere, and one or two more riders from SLO.

if we make rocky point the first night that leaves 3 nites in Rocky point to drink beer, tequila, eat some kick ass mexican food, some beatles, hang on the beach, and shoot fireworks all night long, and drink more. (i'll post pics. of our last rocky point trip)

then sunday, May 21st, ride back. I'm probably of the mind, to definitely come all the way back to Oakland on that day.

the first day out there, has the added time to be broken up into two days.

there is a roger clyne concert in Rocky Point, and if anyone is into that, they can check it out. it's saturday.

i've calculated 816 miles from my doorstep to Rocky Point, Mexico.

I would like to enter Mexico south of Yuma, Arizona at San Luis Rio Colorado, and then ride east on hwy. 2 to the cut off. I also want to see if the road thru the biosphere park is paved or at least in good condition to cut thru and then make it to Rocky Point.

If you guys have any questions, let me know.

i'll pm you guys as well.

i'm in oakland, and work 3 nites a week, so have plenty of time in between to hang out, or sit and talk about the run.

i don't know if you guys have done long runs, on your bikes, or how fast you move. I am pretty efficient, and quick on the bike, and on long trips. when making time, I gas up quickly (can be done in less than 5 min and back on the road) and rarely take breaks. i'm happy to bend that to help other guys. but for those that might not be up for pounding away 800 miles, you might want to wait till i take a ride somewhere nearer. cause the summer is heating up and the bike is running awesome.

i'll be on the monster (M900) for this trip.

for you gsxr guys. my buddy rode with me from san diego to El Paso on his Hayabusa, no problems, actually, i've found no real problems on the open hwy. on those sport bikes.

anyway.

i'm doing this. if you're up for it. let me know. if not, no worries, i'll bring back photos, and ride it on my own. :teeth

cheers
