I LOVE BEER!!! So I'm in!!!

(thor) · (thor) **Join Date: Oct 2001** 04-05-2006, 10:02 AM

I'm definitely going.

We're going to party when it's raining and ride when it's not raining. Heck, if we party enough, we'll probably end up riding when it is raining. You get wet anyway.

Also, I'm going to win one of those CWB wakeboards that are up for grabs. Positive thinking never hurts.

I am still in! Flying down Thursday night from Seattle. Almost every day in around here is “chance of showers”
If it does rain... I will feel right at home.

Looking forward to a fun weekend and meeting more WW friends.

Wow, no one in that last picture looks like they are having a good time. Hmmm....

Steve: That keeps all the CIE beer cold at Billy's house. No need this year. The bar is going to keep all the beer cold for us this year (that and the martinis, gin/vodka tonics, tequila shots, margaritas, and Bloody Mary's.

Jeff it's nice to know i'm not the only one travelling far from home, do you have arrangements to get down to the lake?

(jeffr) · (jeffr) **Join Date: May 2002** 04-05-2006, 2:00 PM

Down from Alberta... nice. Yeah our plans have been set for months. Crashing at Fisher's place on Thursday night. Then driving down with her Friday AM. Scotty D is driving out from Vegas with his boat... or flying... we are waiting on the final verdict.

I think God is punishing me for giving so many people crap for not riding when injured.

I little rain should never be considered a reason to bail on an event like this. I'll be sitting here at my keyboard gimped up this weekend, and moping while your all having a great time.

J-Rod,

If you really want to be inventive, you could get someone to set up a live webcam of the event for the less fortunate WW'rs that aren't going.

(clubjoe) · (clubjoe) **Join Date: Sep 2005** 04-05-2006, 4:04 PM

Just a heads up--

If anyone South of me(Bakersfield) needs a relay station going to, or from Spring Ride, and I'm home, let me know. 1 1/2mi off fwy 99. If I know you, I can leave a key somewhere if I'm not home....Possibly riding at B/V Sunday, as well......

Sounds like fun, but what is this CIE Spring Ride everyone is talking about?

(zride) · (zride) **Join Date: May 2001** 04-05-2006, 9:17 PM

its a spring ride gathering for West Coast Riders that has been going on for a couple years...AKA West Side Spring Ride. The last 2 years CIE, a group made up of some local riders, has taken the bull by the horns so to speak and planned the entire event. They have put their own twist on it and now its bigger and better than ever before. Check it out...should be a great time!

ldp 04-05-2006, 9:21 PM

Attila, How many hours did they tell you to wait before you can weight it down? I've got 16 hours on my engine and just had them do the 20-hour tuneup a little early so we could have the boat for this weekend. I was hoping to be able to weight it now.

(attila916) · (attila916) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 04-05-2006, 10:24 PM

They told me 20 hours, I think if you had the service and got the dirty oil out you will be fine. I have less that 2 hours on mine.

(airwarrior04) · (airwarrior04) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 04-06-2006, 7:30 AM

Correct me if I am wrong but part of the 20 hr tune up thing is changing the oil to a thicker oil so the engine can be ran harder.

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 04-06-2006, 7:37 AM

Ryan,

You're ready to slam it buddy. After the first oil change, you more than ready. Just make sure you continue to chek the oil. Sometimes they continue to burn oil up until 20-30 hours.

Walt, as usual those pics are sick. There are a couple there that I haven't seen before. I love the one of Bird, cracks me up, and the one of McMillen behind the B-52 is absolutely sick. I think it's my new screen saver.

Kaben, you know we've got room for you friday AM in the boat. We'll have my boat in tow and a new X2 on Saturday that we need to get figured out before the Dub contest. We'll be up at the resort tonight.

Can't wait to see everyone.
