It's a good thing we only throw an event every few years!
The next few events at Tiny's are bound to be CREEPier!

We need you to teach Brad a thing or two it seems

mini trip report and a few pics here, didn't take many round the roadhouse though.

Great pics. Love the quality.

Make note though, the "Strippers & Blow" refers to me running WARPED X.

OOPS...!!!

How about we call it practice for "Strippers & Blow". That way, when Warped X comes around we'll be good at it ...



You seemed to show up in a lot of the pics. My camera must be attracted to you.


See you at the next one

Hi there,
We really appreciate all of the kind words. Brad and I had a really good time taking care of you folks this weekend. Big THANK YOU'S to JStory for going "9 for 9", to John for leading the ride and coming up with an awesome route, and then having to change it at the last minute (damn bicycles), to Pete for the awesome presentation, to everyone that lent a hand, (Cheryl!!), to all the fresh faces who rolled the dice and decided to see what this Rio Nido thing was all about, and last but certainly not least to the people who continue to join us, year after year, through thick and thin.
We really hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I know May is a crazy month and understand that there are multiple things going on every weekend it seems, so it means a lot that you chose to spend it with us and our silly little rally. THAT is what keeps us going.
Til next time
Josh and Brad

Wow.

I have heard good things about the Mayday Melee since it's inception, but this year was my first. It will most certainly not be my last. Brad, Josh, and the staff of the Roadhouse treated all of the guests like royalty. The location is spectacular, the food and drink outstanding, and the company exemplary. Top all of that off with some of the best street riding to be had on Planet Earth, and you have the makings of a very memorable event.
Thanks to Brad and Josh for hosting! I can't wait until the next one.

I didn't take too many pics, but here's an offering at least:

I was thinking the stage needed a stripper pole, maybe next event I'll bring more Creeps and we'll throw the port-o-pole and a few dancers in a sagwagon! Or shall we go for wrestling??

How about a combo: wrestling strippers.

Thanks again Brad and Josh, as usual you all go above and beyond for us lost souls...Great food and great company make it a required event in my book. It was great to see everyone.

[Treadless]

Lately I have not been able to get the time away to just be able to hang out at a gathering so it was great to be able to have the time to have a real visit with many people and not just "hi, bye". So I had a great time, got some much needed helmet time and an adequate amount of good great and .

As always Brad And Josh you guys took very good care of us, above and beyond the call. THANKS! and please forgive for not seeing you before I left.

Can't wait 'till the next one to find some more engineers to insult.

[RocknTroll]

Brad and Josh, had a great time thanks fer puttin this together

Mike the fun part is half the time they don't they're being insulted

Thank you! Unfortunately our events are far and few between but when we do, its a doozy. There have been talks of doing another one of our Bike Cursings, it's been 5-6 years since we did our 1st Annual Bike Cursing !

[DaFoole]

Josh-n-Brad....AWESOME time!!! Best yet, which is saying a LOT!!! Gotta a chance to see you guys again, lots of old friends and a few new ones while camped behind a bar. Does not get better than that.

1st to arrive...WTF? Well, there is the hallowed and holy spot...



No worries, get the 1st beer....



This does NOT suck!!


...and set up Case De Foole...




But what's this??!! Could it be?!?! Yep, the Wee Angry Scott has puttered in on his neato scooter!!





Then Treadless and Computerless up from Santa Barbara way lumber in...



More and more FF's ramble in and the May Day Melee is off and running....





to be continued.....

[DaFoole]

Gilla Funk rolls in for the long distance award.....




and the bull shitting begins in earnest....

Giddy gets his catsup.....




The lovely (and very patient...) wife of JStory.....



Petefromberkeley rolls in....



Backoutonthehighway (Future HDIC of WARPED IX) gets in the way of yet another pic of Mrs JStory....



The rest of the night gets kinda blurry with no useable pics......

The next day finds us having the Great Parking Lot Exodus owing to the Flag Pole Raising. Proof positive some of us (almost) rode in the dirt this weekend.....



No worries, the bull shitting didn't pause for a moment....





No pic of the amazing prime rib dinner with French Onion Soup, Ceasar Salad, mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. EXCELLENT! Problem was I was hungry again by 4pm the next day....

So that's all I got....

Again, AWESOME time with great friends. If you missed this you screwed the pooch......

Lookin' forward to the Redwood Rendezvous this fall!!!!!!

Carry on....
