Hey Krazie!
What happened to the pics you took???? :p
Anyway - 8 AM is so we can drive some of our favorite roads before they get crowded - then, there is still time to eat afterward -
You're young - if I can get up and be there at 8 AM, belive me, YOU CAN! :D

Wishfull thinking!
:D
yeah, the last two were at 9:00 and it seemed like an extra hour would have been perfect, but everyone had plans areound 12:00 or 1:00 so we all decided the extra hour would be in the morning instead.
i kinda figured 8:00 once a month would be ok
as for the first sat of every month.... sounds like a good idea, we should seriously consider that, but as for Jan lets stick to Jan 15th since everyone on this site and the RX-7 club site have all made plans for the 15th.
mabe we could start the in feb??? gives us somehting to talk about over lunch on the 15th!
anyways, talk to you all later!

the 15th at 8am sounds like a date.
I suggest: Donut Man for breakfast in Glendora.

More info........
Well, the reason he is saying the Donut Place in Glendora, is that is where Glendora Mountain Road (GMR) starts - at it's Western origin.
If the road is open, you can then drive East and you end up at Baldy Village, where you then drive down the hill to Upland. Once in Upland, I suggested either Legends Burgers for lunch, or if you guys want Mexican again, going to Casa Jiminez, also in Upland.
The problem is the weather - once there is really severe weather, the "powers that be" usually shut down GMR until sometime in the spring. It is likely IMO that the rainstorm (monsoon) we are now having will be sufficient to close it down. I drove it last Friday in my FD, and there was a fair amount of sliding rock debris on the road then.
It is, without a doubt, the most technical and challenging and enjoyable road I have ever driven. That said, the last portion of it before you get to Baldy Village does not have a center line painted on - probably because at several points it is definitely (again IMO) not two lanes wide.
I was pretty nervous last Friday when I was avoiding rocks (big, fist size and larger) on the road, and was driving over on the left side of this narrow road. There are several blind twisty corners - I had the radio OFF and the window OPEN listening for any approaching motor sound as I drove. Luckily, during that 15 minute (or more - was driving pretty slow) portion of the drive, only one motorcycle was going West - and he passed me where we could both see each other clearly in plenty of time/distance.
I am writing here publicly, what I have told Speeddemon privately, I am thinking that we need to wait until spring for this run. The weather the past few days may have sealed it for us in any case. - GMR is probably closed.
You guys had a great time going up Oak Canyon - maybe we could meet in San Bernardino and caravan there, and have lunch at the end. I don't know that run - is it affected by weather?
Anyway - I'm sure we can collectively think of something. I have the 15th reserved for whatever we decide to do.

ohhhhh man!!!!!!
dont you hate it when you type up a big long message, and then your boss walks in on you and you THOUGHT you hit copy before closing the window, just to find out later that you in fact did NOT copy your previouse LONG message.
anyways, i will make this one WAY shorter, and WAY more to the point, as i dont feel like typing it all again. (it was long)
anyways, it said something like Thanks Riccio for your input, how about we all wait to drive such a technical road for a day that we can accually enjoy it. lets count on it being closed, or full of rocks.
also said something like the reason i wanted to meet in Rancho area is because i wanted to give the Rancho are people to be closer to home. but if everyone is cool with a San Bernardino meet the that is cool with me as i live here.
also said something like i dont htink we have to have a run set in stone as between all of us, at the last minute if we all want to go for a drive i am sure we can think of someplace to go.
the reason i say this is because we have no idea what weather will be like. if its raining, we might all just want to go to a place we can just hang out at, and not even go on a drive. but if its clear then we all might want to go to forest falls or something.
anyways, i had also given a time and place. this is not set in stone its just an idea
When
Jan 15th 8:00 A.M.
Location
Pirate City Tattoo Parking lot accross from Pep Boys on E street In San Bernardino
Who
all rotary and rotary curiouse people and cars
Why
cause its fun
the reason for piching Pirate City Tattoo Parking lot, is because this is ware my best friend (Vipers on RX-7 club) works. its a nice nutral easy to find place. decent sized parking lot.
znyways, if any one has any comment please post them. I will also be posting this on RX-7 club for them to see.
I had also said Welcome Tr1gger, hope to see you there!

Ok - sounds good, I'll be there....
Do you have the address on E Street - I don't know S'Bdino very well. I mapquest everywhere I go, and then hope it's right. (Sometimes it's not, and then it gets interesting.)
Anyway - HAPPY NEW YEAR to the San Bernardino Group - looking forward to seeing everybody on the 15th!

I went by that place yesterday.
If you guys are lookin for a good twisty place to run(as it looks from me skimming the newer threads) we could always make the run up to Crestline and get lunch up by Lake Gregory. Doesn't take that long to go up and I think it's a lot of fun.
Oh and Speedmon, my hotmail got hacked, so I added you on my other one.

Aw, Krazie, come on - don't you live in Rancho??? It's only about 20 miles, if that, to San Bernardino from Rancho......
I think you'd have a nice time meeting some other RX people -
Hope you change your mind

he he he, anyways, i hope you change your mind, getting together with a bunch of rotary people is a lot of fun. its nice to check out other peoples rides.
if it makes you feel any better i have someone coming out from 29 Palms. i dont know why he wants to drive out for 2 hours just to hang out for a while, but he want to.
:-)
ok ok ok ill leave you alone about it now, but i do hope you change your mind.
Looking forward to seeing everyones rides!
Later.
P.S. Riccio, i added more to my back window. its really cool, its hard if not imposable to see from far away, but when you get close it really looks cool.... (this was purpously done) You'll see....
