After lurking here for a while I finally made it official and bought myself a purdy black G5 and lovin' it!  I think my girlfriend may be a little jealous.  I live in Santa Cruz California if anybody wants to rally the bay area.  -John

Congrats, it's a beauty, welcome to the forum.
On the eighth day God created the C5, and it was better looking than anything on the planet.

Nice one congrats. I'm up in Marin, there's a few others on the board around the Bay. Perhaps a meetup is in order

Welcome aboard jartist and congrats on your Bullet.

+1 to 1 Thump's suggestion. 

The Washington Bullet Owners get to gethers are the highlight of the year for some of us.

It would be nice to see something similar happen in CA.
No matter where you go, there, you are.

I have Sundays off in June. If Berryessa is too far for a Santa Cruz rider just breaking it in, we could meet @ Alice's then ride around the hills.

Berryessa and back from Santa Cruz should cover the break in in a day ;D

Welcome Jartist !
              I live in Redwood City. I ride a G5 Deluxe. I think Alice's would be a great place to meet up. Get use to drawing a crowd !

The SFO dealer should organize something.

I haven't thought about Alice's for a long time.
I made it a point to visit every time I rode up to 'Frisco.

Thanks all!  I'm down for making the pilgrimage to Alice's.  I'll probably be heading there Friday morning to get my free tee-shirt for bringing my new bike.  That's the rumor anyway.

Baryessa camping weekend would be cool too.  I got my bike with a little over 400 miles on it and I'm close enough now to breaking it in that a longer trip would not be out of the question as soon as I get my luggage carrier and seats sorted.  My weekends are pretty booked up but I'll get something started as soon as I figure out a window of time.

I won't be back in town until Sunday afternoon. I will be around at random times after that. Jartist, did you buy yours in Santa Cruz? I would like to visit that dealer.

Yeah, Il Motorino in Soquel.  Really good shop.  I bought one that was their demo for a bit with 400 miles.  They gave me a good price and changed the oil and put in a new sealed battery without charging prep.  They are a small scooter shop but expanded the repair department.  There's not much to see there regarding Enfields: just two c5s and nothing really to speak of in terms of accessories in stock.  I'd definitely buy from them again tho.
