Um, yeah, you are teh suck if you don't come with us.  But you have to ride nice.  Enzo and I have some CHP issues that we're sorta dealin' with and we don't need any more publicity with the boys in beige.   [leo]

I'm in the same boat. Got busted crossing the DL, so I don't do it anymore  [roll]. I'm usually the last to catch up because I just know I'll get busted again. Plus, my Vespa is too slow to really pass.  [laugh]

Good turnout despite the weather!  Itsasickness had a little bike trouble at the top of Tam, so Tim and Enzo stuck around to keep him company while his tow came.  The rest of us continued on and even stopped at Marshall store for lunch--awesome view, warm weather (at that point) and good chowder.  The rest of the ride home was pretty and uneventful.  RCiao - you were expecting me to take off like a scalded cat at the 101 onramp, eh?   [laugh]  I was waiting for those few cars to pass first... Sorry thought you saw them.  Glad you kept it up--thought you were going to have a very bad afternoon there for a moment!

Thanks to Endorsed for saving the day by spotting the oil leak and extra thanks to Tim and Endorsed for keeping me company til the tow showed up! [thumbsup]

Hmmm, heading up to the top of Tam I saw two classic Monsters heading down, mebbe it was Tim & Enzo?  This was around noonish, on Panoramic, didn't get a good look at them other than the lead Monster was Dark, second one was red with gold frame & low mount exhaust, and they sounded niiiiiiiice.   iirc one rider had a red helmet, & they were wearing a fair amount of black.  Had to keep my eyes on my lane, otherwise I would have oggled more

It was great meeting "The Dude" at long last.   She brought us some epic beer.

Thanks for putting this together, 'Belle! It was fun riding the best part of the ride twice, and it was nice hanging out with Enzo and Itsasickness in the nice warm sunshine at the Ranger station  :D

Hmm, well, then I'm glad the oily tire didn't cause you to do some aerial acrobatics. Yikes.

It was good seeing all you as you were heading down Tam, passed you as you were all heading north.
