Default San Francisco Bay Area Meet up [June 7th!]

Official San Francisco Bay Area Meet Up!

Data: June 7, 2008 (Saturday)

Where: Alice Restaurant http://alicesrestaurant.com/ Google Maps

Time:
2PM, that way its not too earlier for some to getup and show up and its a bit after lunch so the rush should not be so bad. If you are coming a different time please reply!

RSVP HERE: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/593879/?ps=5 and reply!!

Directions: You can find them using google maps or yahoo maps but If you want an interesting drive i suggest you take 35 Skyline Blvd West from 280. Here are the directions on google maps from San Francisco and from San Jose
They are not the shortest way there, but, the most interesting way to get there.
If there is anything else i forget please just reply and ask.
Thank you and hope to see you there!

After throwing out the idea on IRC and the fact there is a good number of Bay Area members on the forum i though lets have a Final Gear meetup here in the bay area.

Time:
Nothing is set in stone yet, but i am thinking last week of May or First week of June so also the younger member who are in school can also get some free time.

Location:
I am thinking Alice's Restaurant (http://alicesrestaurant.com/) as its a popular meet up for riders and drivers alike, and to get there its some sweet driving roads (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyline_Boulevard ).

Another option is to do it in the city somewhere iconic like the Warf or Lombard street but I think most would not want to come in the city.

So if your interested please reply, and with a date your free. If we get some good replies maybe this will become for real.

With $4/gallon for gas, it's cheaper to fly! Virgin America is also badass, so it's a win-win. However, this is my last quarter before I graduate so I don't have any time for trips.

I'm in. I will get my stitches out in about 10 day and be splinted after that. I have no idea when I will be at 100%.

can't do it. studying for finals in chicago. each part of that sentence alone would make my appearance unlikely. both make it impossible to say the least.

You dont need a bike to show up, lots of cars are there as well (including a few exotics from time to time).
