Good to hear!

I'm tied up for the next few weekends, but will ping you when things open up, would love to meet up for a ride.

damn, I need to move a little farther north! The RE riders down here seem to stay well hidden.

Thanks. I'll put some break in miles on this weekend. Anybody else want to ride along? Meet at the Starbucks at Cordelia around 10 am Saturday?

Ohhhh! Starbucks! Should I wear my Monocle? A Tux?  :D

Whatever happened to meeting at greasy spoon places? Something like "Big Al's house of pork".

How cool would it be to say, " Honey, I'm off to meet the boys for a ride. We are gonna meet at the diner "The severly beaten egg."

I need to open a place called "Moe's". ;D

You can get everything you want at Alice's Restaurant

Great new Olhog... wait... I can't remember why you were without your horse?  Did something near-catastrophic happen?

Incredibly jealous you got to see MotoGP live.  I can't even see it on TV - Apparently to get the speed channel the cable company wants me to sign up for a 150$ package. Criminal.

Have a good ride, Bay Area guys.

Funny you mention that.  Last weekend I visited the son in Eugene, OR.  The inspiration for Moe's Tavern was Max's where Simpson's creator Max Groening spent some of his youth.  The inside resembles the cartoon, but Moe is not there!  It is an old-school tavern with heat-up microwave food, popcorn, and pretzels plus very dark old wooded booths.  It is on 13th E about 3 blocks west of the U of Oregon campus.  Notice the "Go Ducks!" sign in the window.  I went once.  That was enough!  D'oh!

Ok, I was just going for something easy to find. The Greasy Spoons are on the ride. I could have said the Chevron station. There is a Sunday ride from Saratoga that may wind up at Alice's but they like to ride fast.

The catastrophe that kept me off the bike for a few weeks was my stator contacting my rotor. That left metal shavings in the oil. Kevin decided to replace the entire engine. Now I have to ride slow for a few miles. So far 1thump has said he wants to go. Anybody else?

I can do that, or Costco on the other side of I-80. Where do we go from there ?
