cant miss though. no make-up labs whatever the excuse is

 

School's overrated. Quit while you can still enjoy your youth.

 

glad you have ur priorities straight....maybe next meet.

 

this is gonna be fun!

i'll be leading the "mild" group in the rear!! who's with me?!?

 

i'll be behind you John.... way behind you lol

 

I feel your pain, Nerwyll. I was a Bio/Pre-Med student in college and O-Chem Lab was the worst! Aside from it being 4 hours every week, it's also a pretty difficult class in general. You're right though; you can't miss one lab! They have you by the balls. It sucks!

 

I'm just floating this as a purely maybe idea. I'm thinking about joining you guys on Saturday on the ride from Long Beach to Encino to SLO...but on my motorcycle instead of my 5-er. (Pic below was taken up at Big Sur last March, the weekend after I sold my '06 Yamaha FJR1300 and bought the new '07 six-cylinder GL1800 fully-loaded 'Wing.) Three reasons for possibly doing this:

1) My 23 year old daughter Alison (whom many of you met on our previous March SLO ride) is working this Saturday and can't join Dad.

2) I tore my right calf muscle playing basketball last week, and it's actually less painful to ride the 'Wing (right foot either rests or controls rear brake) than to drive the car (right foot can't sit flat when not pushing gas/brake). Riding is like breathing to me: I've owned 10 bikes over the past 30 years.

3) If I could find a lightweight (i.e. weighs less than 120 lbs, male or female) passenger, for part of the ride, to operate my video camera from my motorcycle's ultra-comfy passenger seat--on a safe, straight section of freeway--he/she could shoot (and I could later edit) some excellent "at speed, from all angles" footage of other members' 5-ers. Might be a unique way to capture what your car looks like when it's not in your driveway...

I'm not a barbeque guy (vegetarian who eats fish only), and I have a close relative who lives in Ventura county, so I may just do the ride, shoot some vids (with a volunteer passenger / camera operator) for part of it, meet everyone in SLO (maybe check out some raw, unedited video clips), then take off. Again, just a maybe at this point. Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

Yeah right John,
If memeory serves me right, at the last SLO meeting you were trying to hall as and keep up with the ronny and the eurorev crew. You passed me a few times last time up and I was doing pretty fast

 

I was trying to beat the Porsche

This time, I am going to take it easy, for reals

 

man everyone' getting injured due to basketball, hope you guys recover soon, now who am I going to play with!
