Yeah, it was a crazy weekend.

Friends, fun, rides, lots of things. Then suddenly, Monday.

it was like a punch in the nuts. Or, uh, boob, if your'e a girl. Or just have man boobs.

But either way, we're still pretending like it's still the weekend of the 4th, and that VCLG is still hosting a fantastic rally... so why don't you come over and play make-believe with us?

We meet every other week at the Connecticut Yankee @ 17th & Connecticut, in the historic "you'll get shot here if it's too late" district of San Francisco (not that one, no, not that one either... no, no no that's the one where you'll get shot in the daytime, no, that one has the daytime hookers, it's the one with the- nevermind).

When: 7:30
Where: I already told you, not sure why I'm including this line
Why: because we love you. Well most of you. Actually, maybe about 1/8th, but we're good at faking it.

Hugs and cuddles,
-oz

It's true. We even got our back patches lined with bullet-proof Kevlar. It cost an arm and a leg, but worth it. Razz emoticon

Thanks for the early warning this time! I hope to be back from the "living death" that has been my work life over the past months and there on Thursday night.

Bored or trying to avoid spending quality time with your parents? I don't need time to come up with excuses. Yer not the only one good at faking it.

See you tonight!
Y'all did a great job with the San Juan Bautista ride. At the very least, I'd like to give a toast in thanks.

Oh, and we're updating our SFSG rally flyer to read "3rd time's a charm," so everyone can relax!

See you tonight, Quitters!

What she said, great job Quitters! Was there another theme besides "3rd time's a charm"?

I'll be late... have to work until 8:15ish but hopefully OZ will have a cold beer waiting for me . After this week, I really need it!!!

It's a good thing you use a fake name on MV Lau7ren, because it would be really hard to decode your real name . See ya all tonight.

Lots of cops on Mission tonight. I wonder what happened on the bus with all the cops and fire dudes in it. Good thing I had iced tea instead of driving back home coming down from a buzz. Looking forward to the next one.

That was one useful thing about following that police cruiser for all those many blocks. We could just hang back knowing we were going no faster than the 25 MPH posted limit.

Sorry to hear that! I just figured you abandoned us for the Ducati crowd .

To be honest, I was laughing so hard after reading this... "I actually threw out my back farting" that it took me a minute to finish reading and realize you were serious. Hope you heal up quick!

Okay, everyone. I didn't fart so hard that it threw out my back. Farting around, not farting period. Razz emoticon

I think it's a combo of playing around and the 735 mile ride that's catching up on this old FART.

Good thing my duc pipes are loud.

On a separate note, it's no secret I don't give my GTS the love it deserves. So, it's going up for sale. I'll post it here on MV first and see what kind of bites I get. Both Ratboy and Michael Moore said I should consider taking the mods off first, since I won't recover the money spent. I'm going to make this kind of offer. $5500 for the bike with all the mods (including the OEM seat, exhaust, and brake), $5000 OEM only. I shall see where this goes...
