Jen will post more info when the flyer is done, but save the date now!
This is always a fun event sponsored by the Ton Up Club and Secret Society. This three day event culminates with the rides on Sunday. I will post the flyer and more info as I get it. SS will lead the Vintage Ride and I will be leading the Modern Ride.
Friday night we will start with some fun and music at Tower Bar. More fun on Saturday night, and then the Sunday rides.
This is your time to "Mod" it up in your clothes. And, if you don't know what Mods v. Rockers is, google it. (Series of riots in Brighton in early 60s).Additionally, watch Quadrophenia. This is your homework! No essays, but tests may be given. Afterall, I am a history teacher.
Modern Ride will leave from 'All the Perks Espresso Cafe" in La Mesa. Right now KSU is 9:30 for about a 50 mile ride to Hooley's. But, ... things may change. When I went out scouting new routes today, several of my rural "roads", were fenced or dirt. Thank you Google Maps. I still have 4 more weeks to work it out. Some elevation and for the modern ride, top speeds of abut 50-55 mph in some of the areas.
If you think you are a little slower, I will have printed map directions, so you can always catch up eventually! Afterall, this is being led by a 150.

Rode the route again this am. This will have some twisties, but we will do most of them uphill, not down: less chance of spilling on those country roads.

I just booked a room. Hope no one minds if I hang with the rockers, as I have a Bonneville and haven't bought my Vespa yet... 8)

Hit up the Friday Tower show to meet up w/ the scooterists, then do the Sunday ride with big wheels. Best of both worlds.

Great idea. If you're going, look for the old guy on a gold Triumph at the Tower show.

Jack sometimes does one night on the Triumph, and then splits the other two events between the Vintage and the Modern. I. am recruiting him to help me with the modern ride this year, and ride cleanup.

I got to meet hippiebrian and his lovely Triumph, I also got to talk to Rufio for a bit. Too bad the Saturday ride from the Small Bar kind of fizzled out.

It was nice meeting you thunderthighs.

I think the ride fizzled because the Ska Brew was a little too good and a lot of the riders went home for a nap. Ran into a lot of them at the show afterwards.

Another fun Mods V. Rockers weekend. The only breakdown on my Modern Ride was my hubby's which wouldn't restart. Sorry, we slowed things down a bit when we had to go two-up on my 150; definitely not made to take 330 pounds uphill at elevation. Good to see Rufio and the others from up north of us. (Sorry about the crazy sound guy on Saturday night. We'll blame it on the Rockers).
For those of you in the chilly part of the country, we had perfect riding weather: 60s and 70s early, topping out at low 80s. Be jealous. Razz emoticon

Next year, the talk from Ton Up San Diego, is that it might be in spring, with the ride on a Saturday, not Sunday. It has been the weekend before Super Bowl for a long time, so we will see.

Nah man. Not Tomas, but one of the scooter guys. Nothing much to tell except a couple good blows were thrown from both sides and all was well the Next day.
