I'm in. PM Sent

thanks for initiating this. I'm in Hal - CA, USA

One here in San Jose, CA approx. just uner 10,000 miles. odo wasn't working for awhile.

Maybe next year we can rouste those at Bohemian Grove and use their facilities. Looking forward to meeting you all. Packed and anxious to get rolling. -Hal

I'll be there Fri. Now having serious headache on which bike to take? I hear there will be a load of fire wood and a big pot of Hobo stew for Sat Night. -Hal

I plan on heading up there from work around noon on Friday. I'll be camping. -Hal

Very cool. -Hal

for those headed Southbound from points north of San Jose, I asume the main corridors will be 280, 680, 880, 101. I'm looking for a good central spot if any would like to meet for breakfast before arriving in Hollister. Imelda has offered to cook up some eggs and bacon and such if anyone inclined. I'm just .05 miles from 280/880 and maybe 3 from 680/101. She would enjoy meeting some of you. Let me know your thoughts. -Hal

I'm willing to meet up for the ride to Hollister. Last year I went early to have breakfast there in Hollister. I'm about 45 minutes from Hollister if any would like to meet around San Jo. for breakfast. -Hal

This from WildGuzzi about a bike for sale. pasted url I did not see this posted here, so I thought it might be of interest. -Hal

I only had used cars until recently. I bought my first new vehicle, Dodge Ram 1500, in 2002. Before that it was VW buses, Trans Am, Triumph TR4, and a van. The mileage on the bikes are quickly overtaking that of the truck. If I get a car it will either be a Caddy Sedan Deville, or I'm going to build a low rider. -Hal

I was happily surprised to see my bike selected as bike of the month. There are so many great bikes posted under the "Just show us your bike pictures" thread which deserve to be selected. Thanks Jaap and those who selected mine. The weather out here in Califronia has been rotten, with all the wind and rain the good roads are covered with dirt and debris. Happy New Year, -Hal

I have been wanting/intending to go to track day, only thing holding back so far is a good set leathers and apprehensiveness. I will probably do one with Club desmo with an employee from Moto Italiano this coming year. I think they often go to Buttonwillow. Keep us updated on any potential dates. -Hal

I've a big smile eveytime I'm on mine. I have 04which I bought new Last May. The only issue I had was a crush washer on a front brake was not torqued correctly wich caused a small leak after a 1000 miles or so. The high exhuast limits the use of my Givi soft bags, so I haven't had a chance to take on a multi-day trip. I'm sure others here my have remedied this. I'd be interested to hear what others have done. -Hal 2004 Coppa 2003 Stone
