Initiating a request for interest in a meetup in the SW. I am in Phoenix and it’s not a bad place to start But it depends on where the interested parties are from: Chime in and let’s make it happen.
That is a good idea, Shannon. I’[ve met Rick when Blacktopper and I went thru Phoenix—Rick picked us up for lunch while we had a fix done on Roger’s bike.....Now here's one I wish I could attend. Anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to meet Rick, needs to be there. Let's get a desert Gathering going.
I would really love to see that area again, ( was there last in 1980 driving through on the way to Camp Pendleton) . And would especially enjoy riding with you again . It was a ball at the meet-up in Kansas, and I'm sure it would be fun in Arizona !!Well, after a reasonable wait for response time (from actual SW residents) I have concluded that a SW Ride might better be extended to the general populace. That is to say, to those of you wherever you are that would like to converge out here and see the Sonoran Desert and all her beauty. Those of us who actually live here do not socialize so it seems. I will risk a little provocation and say that maybe I made the mistake of using the word "ride" in the description. At any rate, looks like late winter/early spring 2022 might make the most sense. HMan, EZ Dog, Mr. Wright, Chubs, SKOGDOG, Infamous, and anybody else - I would be all over organizing and hosting up to the limit of our capacity here, and coordinating stays as needed. We could even make the date flexible for late comers, early leavers, and diehard hanger-oners! Mr.Wright and I have a side dialogue going for early May but April is just as good!
I've rode down there it's worth it. Wish I could have spent more time in Bisbee, just had lunch at the hotel there and kept moving.Obviously late to the party but think the out of state folks would really get a charge from the Tombstone/Bisbee scene. You could reenact 3:10 to Yuma and the ride would make more sense. If you're really a history freak you got Frank Stillwell's last breathing spot right next to where Dillinger got nabbed! Most of the peeps that now inhabit Bisbee are actual Woodstock participants but don't let the tie dye and hair fool you, most are packin' MBA's from an Ivy league and just decided less is more!
Hey Psycho, I am gonna start framing a plan. i think I'll start by proposing some dates. Would you be riding down from Vegas and what would be your lodging preference?I'm in for whatever the plan becomes .... Mesa / Payson was home for years ....... LA$ VEGA$ as of late !!!
Hey Pddain, where would you be coming from?I rode one of those roads. Highway 6 out of Bishop Ca to highway 95 to fallon Nv. It was snowing in Mammouth so headed to the desert to get to Reno From LA. Realized if I screwed up I would slide into the sage brush and no one would find me until spring. I saw three cars the whole trip. Up side is no one cared I was doing 100+ for most of the trip.
Absolutely a Bisbee run would be top of the list!Obviously late to the party but think the out of state folks would really get a charge from the Tombstone/Bisbee scene. You could reenact 3:10 to Yuma and the ride would make more sense. If you're really a history freak you got Frank Stillwell's last breathing spot right next to where Dillinger got nabbed! Most of the peeps that now inhabit Bisbee are actual Woodstock participants but don't let the tie dye and hair fool you, most are packin' MBA's from an Ivy league and just decided less is more!
Hey Chubs, April will come up quick. If we time it right, you got a chance of making it? I got the perfect guest quarters for ya. Front row at the fire pit in the Fambly Room!I would really love to see that area again, ( was there last in 1980 driving through on the way to Camp Pendleton) . And would especially enjoy riding with you again . It was a ball at the meet-up in Kansas, and I'm sure it would be fun in Arizona !!
Hey Chong - gonna start putting some meat on the bones. Love to hear your ideas.Maybe interested depending on other events etc.
May have a couple ideas .
Hey, ready to get out of ChiTown?I'd be really interested if it were to happen during the winter months when it's below zero here in Chicago.
