OCEAN PARK, WA. August 29-30 2009

now were getting somewhere! now i can get back into the swing of things! im thinking the sunday ride will be at 25 mph as to not string out the bunch to much & fairly frequent stops at historic & scenic spots will narate & answer questions.this will get us regroped & time to look for any mecanical issues that may not ocur! i know the owners of the old oysterville cannery they have lots of goody seafood treats- oyster shooters, seafood savieche,shrimp cocktails, & much more! then after the ride we can end up at sheldon field for the very public show & shine , maybe noon to five sunday? get your best answers ready about your bike as you will be swarmed! like the tourist that asked me how my engine worked? i said it went around! & so do the tires! lol!! anybody who wants to help as roadie backup let me know & we will keep the pack rolling through cell phone comunication! now we can put our heads togather & do something really cool! ill show the pnw riders seldon field paperwork & get the ball rolling! motorbike central is the best place to base camp ect as well as many other amenitys to choose from! twiddlefreaks & gizmonutz unite!!
 
food for thought

last year's ride, we left the park at 10A...at 25mph, it took us until 1P to get to the point & back to deanna's. as i recall, by 3P we had started to lose folks who had to get home.

hope this helps with plans :cool:
 
sounds good, however peeps to start showing up Saturday morning? Then an organized ride at 3pm or? Sheldon show and shine Sunday from 2-4? Then whatever else we feel like doing???
 
time goes much faster than expected, be wary of overdoing.

the saturday public meet/greet at my place would be very much like last year at the park, but we won't have to move the crowd later (the sales/swap guys should announce their intentions to arrive early saturday)...then we ease right into a private bbq-party, the campers who prefer a quiter evening can use the other side of the house or crash elsewhere...as mentioned we have lots of inside floor-space also.

i cast my vote for a sunday ride...i suggest a 10A to 5P sunday schedule, making sure peeps will be able to make an earlier escape if needs be. if you can squeeze some hang-out time downtown into that, good deal, i wouldn't spend too much $ on it tho, time will be short...other than that i pretty much vote for whatever you come up with.
 
na you can have it augi! i give up on trying to get you to compromise for a more public venue! & now back to motoredbike central folks. it could have been great new event in the makeing for our comunity & motoredbike comunity & to do what we like to do best- show our bikes & have folks drool! i could be wrong! i was hopeing this could evolve into a green eco fair ect!
 
pulling out

i'm sorry, folks...but i won't be living here in august, due to other carp caused by this carp.

explaination of sorts

if i had lucked into living here before the social problems in OP started, back when everything i did turned to gold for the local riders...this place would be daily bustling & truly an MB-Center, and there would be no question that we'd use this FANTASTIC place for our gatherings...but, that was then this is now.

this is a beautiful area to ride but one he(ck) of a "peyton place"...as mentioned elsewhere outsiders have influenced this meltdown of the PNW group...the sad part is that wavygravy himself could tell you stories of how cool it used to be here. he even has a photo album to help him remember what cool is.

since i'm out of it for good, my reasons for wanting to keep the glitter low-key & only attract serious new riders no longer matter, but if y'all want a long-term tradition you'll be best off focusing on the ride & comraderie, just like the rod-run.

again, sorry to those who feel let down, but i think it's clear now this has not been all my doing.
