Last time I was going through there....huge forest fire. The fairgrounds was packed with fire fighters from other parts of CA. "No room at the inn". The motels were crowded with residents. I started in Canby, OR in the morning and I was looking for a room. The desk attendant suggested Reno for a room. Since it was close to Dayton, NV. I rode through the night to the campgrounds for the NV State rally. Saw my son at UNR and headed south ultimately to drop my bike off in PHX. Richard came up from PHX.

I got word of this rally a week ago. There wasn't too much information at that time. I haven't had a chance to read the newsletter yet. I will be attending as I live an hour and a half away.

I was headed to the meet a few years ago when it was in the redwoods outside of Santa Cruz when the #1 cylinder on my Ambo blew a whole in the piston. Not a good place to have trouble on the 405 in the dark during early morning rush hour. I like to go to this one in Susanville but, I desperately need a hip replacement as it is very painful to ride. A matter of fact, I have a difficult time even getting off the bike after 100 miles let alone 700+. But, I may be there.
-
I would really...REALLY like to go...but I need to get one of my riding buddies to join me...
Sedona to Tonopah - first night - stay at the historic MIZPAH Hotel. Tonopah to Susanville the 2nd night...stay 2 nights, (Fri. / Sat.)...leave Sunday again for Tonopah!
(Photos from May 31st, 2019) - our last ride to Tonopah!) :thumb: :cool: :boozing: :thumb: :wink: :smiley:

Joanne & I will be at this year's NATA rally in Susanville. Anyone who can - try riding the 140 miles of twistys on route 36 from Red Bluff to Fortuna near the coast - or opposite direction. Amazing ride:
https://www.motorcycleroads.com/motorcycle-roads/california/twisty-road-next-140-miles-california-route-36 I've ridden this route 3 times and it always makes a great adventure. Stop at the roach coach at "Mad River" for a juicy burger & shake about midway. :food:

Susanville? That's pretty much the poster child for Middle Of Nowhere. Closest I ever got was the Honey Lake Bomb Disposal Site back in 1994. Which ended much better than it could have :laugh:
Tempting. June they say...

The MIZPAH Hotel is restored and a GREAT destination at the end of a long ride, and they have a cool saloon :boozing: and an outstanding steak restaurant there! :thumb: :cool:...and there is gas in town. :thumb:

You can review the dinner menu on their website. Trust me...after 7-8 hours in the saddle, a nice, sit down meal with a cold beer or a glass of vino and more goes down easily!! :thumb: :bow: :boozing: :cool: :thumb:

No green skies in the "Valley of the Sun", but due to the low humidity, just "ocean blue skies", most of the time, even when it is 100+ degrees! Like this!! :thumb: :cool: :wink: :smiley:

After looking at the Susanville thingy, half of all the people employed in the town work at the prisons. I'll betcha those correction babes chew nails and spit out staples! If I make it, I will definitely have a beer with you or two or three...California has those cloudless blue skies and since it is a drought year they will be beating down on us ad infinitum.

Bill, the Big Sur highway closure is supposed to end over the next two weeks. By the end of April. You should be able to do the whole thing in advance of the rally. Instead of looping back, there are some terrific ways to cross back over the coastal mountains and return north without retro-routing. Let me know if you would like further coastal routing advice. Heck, you might even want to stay with us.

That is good to know. I have been blocked by fires ( the Malibu Rally), mudslides, mechanical issues and once, ungodly cold weather with freezing fog predicted. I guess I will try again this June. We really like Pismo Beach at the South End of the PCH, so might try to work that in.

Unfortunately I live an hour and half from Susanville and go there often so the ride there will be "been there done that". But hanging out with a bunch of motorcyclists will be well worth "enduring" the short trip. But I will be doing some longer rides this summer. Planning on Broken Arrow. Looking forward to a great weekend.

There are always exceptions to the rule. In this case you're the exception. :grin: I feel your pain. I live on an island. For a longish ride, I can lean right or lean left. :boozing:

QUOTE: I feel your pain. I live on an island. For a longish ride, I can lean right or lean left. :boozing:
I remember talking to several of the locals when I visited both Maui and Kauai...and they ALL said that at least once or twice during the year, they had to get off the island due to..."Island Fever." :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :shocked: :shocked: :huh: :huh:

Must be the local transplants known as "Haole" or whites. "no breath" people. Kanaka ma oli (Native Hawaiian) their outlook is their island is home so no such feeling of "rock fever". :grin:
My wife has finally settled in on the Big Island as being home. She doesn't miss the congestion of Honolulu. Both of our families are on Oahu. We miss family but not the craziness of that island. :thumb:

I thought I was going to make it but, my hip replacement is scheduled for June. Frankly guys, I have a very hard time riding now. Otherwise I would be there 'or be square'. Hopefully, I can make it for the next one.

What are the temps like there in June?

Can get in the low 40's at night. 30's possible but unlikely. 80's and 90's during the day. Low 100's are possible. I had 28 a couple of nights ago, I am not far away, about 80 miles. More forested however than the high desert of Susanville. Just bring a Hoodie or a jacket. If camping a warm bag. You can call me if you like. Leave a message, I will call back. I don't answer unknown calls from unknown numbers. 530-816-05fourfour.

It has been really hot here, 98 the last three days continuing into the weekend. Probably normal for JJ but not so sure for a lot of others. Next week is supposed to cool off some. Rally weekend should be in the 80's, nights right at 50.

Hopefully, there's no repeat of a forest/brushfire.

So far so good. Threat of thunderstorms on Sunday.

Right on! There should be at least 10-15 Guzzisi from the NORCAL area, and two (2) of us from Arizona!
Sounds like a party in the works!! :thumb: :boozing: :cool: :smiley: :wink:

Bring some warm clothes. It got down to 40 last night. I am only 35 miles away as the crow flies. I don't think it willbe quite as cold this weekend though. See you there.

Early next week, here in Vortex-Land, it will be 100+ degrees, so this latest Weather Underground forecast for Susanville looks pretty good to me! :wink: :thumb: :boozing: :cool:

Just a news report. Local news source is reporting that the CHP will be doing heavy enforcement on State Route 395 due to the high number of crashes, injuries and deaths on this highway. They will be working the hwy from the Oregon to the Nevada borders. Mind your speed on this road, lots of long straight stretches, easy to lose track of how fast you are going. See you all in a couple of days.

Good, sound advice, and there is no reason to speed about like a lunatic.
Just relax and enjoy the scenery... :thumb: :cool: :wink: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Not much one can do about Nevada SR-95 North...but I have found there is something alluring about the wide-open spaces and mountain ranges of the West... :thumb: :cool: :wink: :boozing:

Fabulous Rally and beautiful venue...A few photos of Guzzisti people from all over the place! :thumb: :cool:
* 1772 miles round trip!
* Moby Dick, (my 2014 Victory Vision), averaged 45 MPG (@ 75-80 mph)
* Burned about 39+ gallons of fuel
* We about EXPIRED on the return trip to AZ. 103 degree in Vegas at 8:30am. 105-107 degrees from Hoover Dam all the way through Kingman. 95 degrees in Williams / Flagstaff felt pretty good!
Beautiful up there in Sierra Nevada's (Susanville, CA). Snow capped Sierra's...Truckee River flowing nicely
Will compile and send photos later. 70 bikes showed up (mostly Guzzi's) at the Rally. Good to catch up with my old Guzzi buddies from 12 years ago when I lived in Pleasanton, CA.

Thanks for posting photos! Looks like a great time and a beautiful place.
Yeah, it’s been friggin’ hot in the west. It’s going to be a hell of a summer.

Just a V7 Custom my buddy Jimbo recently bought...
"329" was the previous owner's racing number at Bonneville Salt Flats, "Pepperoni Brothers Racing"
