Feb 17 - "NinjaBlade Found a Job" Ride

[theSteveCo]

In the spirit of 'theming' rides:

To celebrate NinjaBlade's good fortune (I'll let him share the juicy details w/ you) we will be having a congratulatory ride on Sunday, Feb 17. The ride will be at Alice's meeting at 9:00 for the "early" crowd... returning at 10:00 to pick up the stragglers.

I will raffle away a gift (how'd that go, anyway, JTT?) if we get more than half-a-dozen riders. If G-Monie doesn't take his vid cam back before then I'll do the tank-cam thing as well.

It looks as though we may get a few CBR Board riders to join us -- they're a great group of guys and I'd love to see the two groups hook up. Ken - try to get your 5150 crew to show up as well!

I'm in!

Yeh baby! I am in for a little grinding in the hood! Stevo, keep you bike in one piece this weekend, see you on the 17th. Will work on D butter to make sure he gets his lazy #$% out of bed and up the hill. Are we taking any newbies on the ride?

If so, I know a woman who just gratuated from a katana to a F2 that might want to join us. BUT, I would hate to scare her away with a fast ride, cuz I havent ridden her yet (was that PC?). :eek Never mind, probably just invite her out on different ride.

I'll bring my new virgin pucks

 

[theSteveCo]

Subtle . Welcome to the board, OaklandF4i. :laughing :laughing

 

[Ninja Blade]

woohoo! as some of you know, i got laid of from work last november. well, i finally found a job, although it's not really a career-building kind of job. i'll be working the service desk at scuderia west in SF. i start tomorrow, and can't wait til i get the full scoop on the benefits...

so come on people. celebrate w/ me next sunday!

Congrats Ninja Blade!!! Post your hours so we can come by and give you shit!!!! Cbr Vixen and I are there alot.

OaklandF4i, usually we have all skill levels come out, but if anyone wants knee draggers only/blazing fast, its cool .........but then only a few will show up. Oh, :welcome WELCOME :welcome to the board!!!!

Anyone else kinda bored of Alices?? Maybe its me, cause I saw some new scenery on this last weekends ride. Maybe Steve isn't allowed to leave Santa Clara county........ j/k I dunno.......just ignore me.



Congrats again Ninja Blade!!!

...and so it comes to be, yet again, summoned from the depths, that feeling of I'm-being-picked-on-again, and so utters theSteveCo the ubiquitous

HEY!

I've been out w/ OaklandF4i and his band of street hooligans, one you know as NinjaBlade, one as sad=man. They are of the same mindset as those of us here... "no one gets pushed to ride faster than they're comfortable, but inevitably some will rush out to scrape pegs and pucks".

All are welcome on our rides, we try to keep everyone together as much as possible and stop often to regroup.

 

[OaklandF4i]

Stevo is right

Instance- Steve is right, we always have a pretty varied group of riders. Its more fun to stop now and then to brag about heroics and kick tires. Plus we seem to have lost more experienced riders to the asphalt gremlins this year than newbies. So we always need new blood. Go figure..

I'd be up for a Marin, or Mt Hamilton ride but I think we are trying to get some folks up from down San Jo way riding that day. With better weather comes more rides. I know all kinds of great rds, just need more time and the weather to coop.

For future reference, how do I get that barf thing going. I demand the opportunity to barf on some one!

: b a r f = :barf

: b i g b a r f = :bigbarf

: w e l c o m e = :welcome

Nasty, isn't it? Who's the sicko that named us BARF anyway?

 

[OaklandF4i]

Barf

Oh... I am on barf patrol now that I am armed with a little knowledge... looking for my first victom!

 

[Ninja Blade]

i'll be working in the service shop tuesday through saturday 9:30-6:30. one of the mechanics is a track leader (he said he's gonna be at thunderhill on sunday teaching class b). his name is niles, and he should have vanson/scuderia west leathers on and an old gsxr w/o body work. he's pretty nutty so don't let him scare you off the track!!

 

[theSteveCo]

I'll be sure to wave as I pass him

 

[KXP]

Alice's on the 17th of Feb? We're there!! I'll let everyone know. (edited) I just spoke to the guys and 10am is a bit early for everyone..haha So i dont know if we can make it that day. If you guys plan on being there longer we might head up that way.


Niles is a cool guy. The Nov track day, he took the B group out a few laps to show us some lines.

 

[Port4mance]

Congrats on the job, I'm going to try and make it. Maybe it'll give me some good luck in finding a job. Only thing is 10:00 clock is early for my lazy unemployed ass!

 

[weasel]

just hope i find one soon :sad

steve, love that barf http://trek.thesteveco.com/images/smilies/barf.gif

[magyarbetyar]

Sunday the 17th at 9 or 10. Cool I'll or should I say we just might be able to make it. We as in me and the woman. We will be 2 up so will probably hold the group up but, I'll do my best.

 

[Instance]

MAG, dont even worry about holding up the group, as you have probably read in the past, ALL skill levels come out, and no one ever holds up anyone cause it's not a race. Its good to hear that you'll be out with the lady.

Sounds like we got a slow ass group. But the question is. Of that group, who is the slowest.
