P.S. – Note to my krewe on the West Coast – Specifically one member that was chosen!  WHERE ARE WE GOING AND WHEN?  I want to be there!

Until then or before – ENJOY LIFE!

Post Script - Remember this Post?

Now I must admit my first impression of Venice Beach was not a happy one.







After reviewing this matter again perhaps it does reflect my personality. 

Well after posting The Final Stretch I opened my mail...Here is what you can expect from that citation $180.00!  Funny thing is my citation got wet and I can not even read the correction options....time to call now that I have a telephone number and information...Personal information has been removed to cover the guilty!

[Jock]

Thanks for the comments...Just attempting to provide some fun!  I certainly had it!

Outstanding ride report Jock! Been following you since you started it. Glad you had a great, safe time!

I really wish I had gone. 

Thanks for taking the time to share your photos and commentary.

I've enjoyed this so much..........I hate to see you home already.  And the spacing in between was great Jock.....allowed us to get a bit of work done in between.

Not 30 mintues home I hear, “We need to live in Califorina” !  Loved that weather compared to the high 90’s with 98%+ humidity experienced here….mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

So when are you moving here Jock?  Hell, you're already an honorary member of the NorCal Crew!

Jock,

Because you've put together such a great gallery of photo's with documentation shooting straight from the hip I'll let you know my preliminary thought.

You will not want to take on this adventure from atop a Moped and it will test your metal from atop some of the best bikes such as Road Glides.

People have been documented doing this trip from atop a Mr. Ed. A Senile Mr. Ed has been documented in the area. At one of the area sites Al Gore mentioned to Bill Clinton "Bill you should get your head up there" and Bill replied "Nah, Monica doesn't like heights". 

The Ridin Adventure falls in line with suggestions from others. The ride requires logistics involving attendance, location, weather, distance, stimulation, cost, comfort, and enjoyment.

The preliminary dates are July 18 - 22, 2011. Later than this year's event in hopes of avoiding lengthy rainy days. (Outside of California it is much harder to predict the weather!)

From the Bay and L. A. areas it will be about a 22 hour 1400 mile trip, from Atlanta about 26 hours, 1550 miles. Less from Portland, Seattle, Vancouver and more from Miami.

It will involve 2 historically famous locations known for the wildness of bygone days and one optional day through an area known for it's natural beauty.

An airport with helicopter pad is close enough for attendees wishing to or having to miss the adventure of riding to the event and exploring territories outside of some people's comfort zones.

Will have to get back to you after more research.

P.S. Keep this info to yourself until I provide further info to everyone.

Jock..........Glad you are home safe.  Both Vivianne and I enjoyed meeting you and are impressed by your story and pictures.  VERY nice job.....we hope to see you again soon..........

So I arrived home and thought to myself…What a journey!  Good times, great friends, awesome experiences, the motorsickle performed perfectly, arrived safely, spent less money than I thought I would, had only a few brushes with the 5-0, prefect location, well-organized, great rides on an on…When can I do it again!

Not 30 mintues home I hear, “We need to live in Califorina” !  Loved that weather compared to the high 90’s with 98%+ humidity experienced here….mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

We can prolly get more buying power getting a duplex together...with 4 bike garages of course...It was greta seeing you agin and better the missus...
