:? Apparently you guys havent heard of trailers for motercycles????????????:eek::roll


If my motorcycle is on a trailer.....................call the cops!!!! It's being stolen!!!!!!!!!!!!:roll:roll:roll Or maybe maintence..................I never trailer anywhere!!!!

It's a slight chance..............Candy mentioned this winter that she would like to ride PCH. When I looked up Eureka..............I thought "maybe". It would be probably 3 weeks to do a trip like that and we have a couple of trips already planned. I have too many friends in the that part of the country and not to take time to go see them..........would be bad!!!!

Will keep it in mind..........................:?:?:?:?

Phil, I understand time constraints but we would really love to have you visit us in Eureka. The Pacific Coast Highway is beautiful and Candy would really love it. ;)

Not to give you any ideas but I thing Don was referring to trailers towed by motorcycles. :)

Now, let's hear from California and Nevada members. This will be a really fun event.

Hey Paul,
First of all, way to go trying to get this organized:bow A couple of thoughts.
How about posting a list of of people and the cars they are planning to bring to the West Coast Shootout. It seems that there are alot of people (members) on the West side of the Rocky Mts. that might not be aware of whats comming up. Would it be permissible to send out e-mails to members???? Having the most cars there possible would make it an event to remember. Another thought maybe DRIVE magazine might be interested if there were enough of a showing. This is an inaugural event right, Boss?:clap

Oh, and tell Dennis Manning that he should have to pay double for garbage pick up just because he rides a Honda.:roll

Chip, you're right we haven't got a lot of response from out region, especially Californias. If you want to look up and send some emails please do. I have contacted 'Cruzin Magazine' (David) about a car show we are doing here in Hebo on July 23 and I told him about our Eureka 409 shootout and he has some interest in that also. If you want to contact DRIVE please do.

Thanks Bill for posting the list. I will try to expand on that and if those who own multiple 409's could tell us which one they are planning on bringing that would be helpful.

We need to decide which "West Coast Shootout" thread, we are going to keep updated ? My "old, tired" brain can only keep so many things straight. :roll
