BAD NEWS FOR ME
While out riding today an electrical gremlin took the spark away from my Honda.I still have electrical but no spark. B.W.P.is at a buddies place now seeing what he can do because I failed to repair the problem. As of now I am OUT for New Years Day Ride. If it is fixed before then I'll let you all know.
Have fun you all and Happy New Year,
Max

I've adjusted the list for those who had to bale. Weather looks like it's going to be cold and clear. Should be good.
Anyone else who would like to join us, sign up ASAP.

Thanks,
Bomba

Just reminder......if you can pack some wood, please bring some.

Thanks,

Bomba

Wood is strapped to the bike, and cookies are ready to go. See you all in the AM.

Great day guys! Thanks Bomba for organizing us!

 

[KLRsuperRIO]

Thanks to everyone that showed up. Great to get out and start the riding season early. Look forward to doing more riding this year.

My head is hung in shame for bailing last minute. The bike was all ready with firewood, etc. but I got up and had a glass of water and went back to bed Hope you all had a great day.

Looks like you had the best possible weather for a New Years Day ride! I had to bale too cause we added a few days to our Cal road trip and just got home.

Thanks to everyone that showed up. (all seven of us) Great weather and good food. Had a great ride back through Port Renfrew with Pickles doing some ice dancing with his GS800 on Humpback Road.......what a showoff Ha, wish I had a camera ready.
Tried to add a few pictures here but forgot how. Pics at Bomba photo gallery.

Cheers,

Bomba

Those ice covered off camber slopes on Humpback were a treat Gordan Main is out unless you're running fully studded tires. I went in 2 or 3km hoping it would get better, it didn't. The road is just one big slab of ice. Harris Main was a blast, very little ice. It was good to get out again and see some familiar faces.

Photo time of the massive turn out.

So what gives? Good weather and we lose people? I knew we were an odd bunch but that was odder!
Anyway we had smokies galore, a hot fire and great riding.

 

[Bearhugger]

You took the picture at the wrong time. I was half way to smiling, really, I was.
