oFFicial EastBay Meet and Eat thread

I'm in the garage yesterday reassembling my son's XR650l and the door is open. This guy walks up saying he saw my 625 SMC and had a question. I have a KTM 690 says he, it has gas and spark but it won't start. Any ideas he asks. Me, No, I don't do FI bikes, carbs only. At that he thanks me and walks away. KISS...

I want in on one of these Nevada trips! I swear no more ACL tearing!!

There's been a couple of cancellations, so Dean says there's a few spots available at the Mendo Rally this weekend: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=949437

If it was possible - I'd be doing the Avenue of the Giants half marathon on Sunday... but I am still finishing my move, plus cat/garden-sitting for a friend for a week starting on 4/30...

We've been sliding further into the month lately, so I propose either next Tuesday (5/13) or Wednesday (5/14).
Where? The weather is getting better so maybe a place in Walnut Creek or Concord with a nice patio?

So, I don't think we've ever been to the Fish in Benicia.... It has booze, food, an outdoor seating area and quite a spectacular view ! Any takers ?

You folks coming from 'far away places' could take any number of routes to get there ? Probably not the cheapest food and booze......

Just my 2 cents.

Benecia is OK by me

I volunteer my acre size backyard in Oakland (redwood heights) for a fri/sat sunset bonfire, byob - let's say first weekend of June and maybe byo-grillables an I can set up the weber as well ...enough RSVP'd and I'll get a keg (say 10 min?)

And maybe we can call it a housewarming

I'm up for up it. And as to housewarming, we'll try to keep the flames away from it.

FYI - bring a tent if you want to avoid a DUI - yard is big enough. :)

Wow what a shock, I hardly come to ADV rider but here I am, I open this thread and the first post is from Benjava RIP but I am delighted to find Jenn!!!

This sounds like fun, I'd like to be in!

You are totally signed up Gwynn! You get the guest bedroom! :)

Sounds good to me...grin.

Is this tomorrow, or Wednesday? I'd like to make this and meet some of y'all, but I also can't find the Dead Fish in Benicia. There is one in Crockett though.

Not sure if this ride is happening this week ? I didn't see much interest after I posted.

My mistake, the Dead Fish is in Crocket.

I'd like to make it to the dead fish, but this <s>week</s> month is just too busy; back to back race weekends, team bikes to prep , etc. No wiggle room.

:eek1

Do we want to try the Dead Fish for NEXT Tuesday (5/20)? I'm in for next week (my travel just got cancelled).

Sounds like not enough for a critical mass this week.

- Marty

I'll be coming the other way around: Morgan Territory behind Diablo, maybe Alhambra Valley...

Next Tuesday at the Fish works for me !!

Louisiana Inmate JayElDee is leaving Half Moon Bay just around 11:45a today -- I advised him to head to the Beach Chalet, plan to meet him there around 12:30

Any other ADV inmates in SF with lunch time free -- join us -- little lunch maybe, or just Golden Gate Bridge escort... send me a PM or just show up!
