What's with our Squadron?

Am I just tuned out or on crack maybe?

Doesn't our squadron represent some of the best year round riding weather in the country?

Doesn't it seem odd that we don't have more activity in this section then?

Anyone? Bueller? :dundun:

This place lacks Cali group rides.

no. there won't be a west coast forum convention.

that was tried in 2005, and failed horribly. shane got us a trackday at cali speedway, graves riders, and prizes.

in one month, he got TWO sign ups. then it got cancelled. i'd love to see him do it again, but the cali support just isn't there.

i know there's MANY cali riders on here, but most frequent other boards like hypercycles.org and socal-sportbikes.com. i've actually found more people that are willing to ride over on the mummy than i have here.

the r1f seems to have a stronger base in the midwest and east coast areas.

as it is, i only come to this section about once a month. it's just dead, and i never check it.

what would it take to fire it up again? who knows. most people complained about the trackday, saying that it was more of a racer thing, not a common rider thing. group rides haven't gotten much play when advertised.

maybe try to organize a giant ride and advertise it three months out. give people time to plan for it. have it end someplace where everyone can gather and shoot the poop. maybe something with live music and a best bike competition. chicks in bikinis always help too.

maybe the ama cali speedway weekend?

yeah I've seen you on SBW. Me and Jessie (Evil1666) pulled off the big bear ride last sept( ~25) and tetsuo does ACH and big bear(~30 - 33). That would be sick if we pulled off a multi-board ride. I'm a mod/staff on one of the other socal boards so I could arrange that.

do it bro....that would be awesome!

i can help organize if you need...

hell, i think we just put more posts in this section in one day than were done over the entire last year...

In San Diego Area.

Hello, I am new to the board and to the San Diego area. I have an 03 R1 and pretty much interested in getting together with a few other riders to explore the area.

I took a 2 hour rip around today and seen several bikes out. Sorry to say that most were "Sponcered Riders" with SDPD and CHP. Not who I am really interested in doing my riding with. :sing:

Please keep me in mind if something you guys are planning gets past the planning stages.

I'm in the same boat. I'd love to get together with some peeps and ride but I live in Victorville. No need to add a 'tucky to a town that already has a 'Ville at the end of it :)

Why not put something together in advance so we can all meet and get something started ? I'm down for whatever and wherever.

All the CA riders are out riding. So many riders make groups easy to build...and usually your other social group has riders as well....but keep posting/trying.
