There are several local K1200R riders and it's high time we hooked up for a ride! I am proposing Sunday 7/22 as a tentitive date but am flexible to accomodate the majority. Potential interested candidates are BillyOmaha, ChuckHeinch, CC71, myself of course and any others with a K1200R that come accross this thread and can meet in this area.
I am open to suggestions on length of ride and route. One possibility is Wentworth Springs/Icehouse Rd, but that is only about a 3 hour round trip, personally I'd be up for a longer ride. There's a lot of great roads northeast of Auburn into the Sierra?

Good point - didn't think of that. I won't be back from vacation until the 22nd so I won't be going to MotoGP anyway - but may be a consideration for others.
I just got back from Hawaii and am ready to ride Sunday. Wentworth Springs / Icehouse sounds good, maybe we could meet at the Shell station on 50 & EDH Blvd? Bill are you in?

If you don't get a chance to enter into GPS its OK, I know this route fairly well. It's a figure 8 that combines a good mix of roads/twisties and scenery.
Shouldn't be too hot tomorrow so I'll be wearing full leathers.
Thanks for joining, it was a fun ride and I hope to ride with you again. Maybe get some more riders next time. Charlie called my cell this a.m. but missed us by about 15 mins I think - hope we can hook up next time Charlie.
i am sad that i couldn't make it. i caught some kind of flu or food poisoning, i'm sure the drinking didn't help the day before. i was out at 8 pm the night before and slept until almost 9 am. i tried to hurry down and showed up about 920. you guys were gone and i didn't want to hold you up. i hope there is a next time and i will be sure to make it. sorry i missed your calls.
