GSR - Same restaurant (you missed). Yes, Friday night.
Fremontguy - Our buffets are awesome here, but on Friday night they are very expensive. Lots of people complained about the price of Atlantis last year. So this year we will go to a place that will 1/2 the cost.

Mexican sounds great. Count us two Idaho guys in on it. Im getting hungry already..
I kind of know my way around moonrocks. If there are no locals available on friday I can get all of us lost. Just follow me......;)
Weather forcast is looking really good for the weekend.
Im sitting here at my desk trying to break my new Alpinestars in. I wish thursday would hurry up already.....

Mexican is good with us. Put us down for 3. Bundy, tee and me.
Saftey Suggestion
Yesterday I was riding at a local track with my buddy Digger Dave, as luck would have it he took a bad spill (2nd lap, first time at a track) and broke his clavicle and got his 5th concussion. The ambulance took him to the hospital where I met him after loading all of our gear and bikes. Once at the hospital they asked me all kinds of question that I had no answer for. Dave is one of my best friends but I had no idea what his home address was, work address, medical history, parents phone # or where his health insurance card was.
My suggestion is this. Whenever you are out riding, like this weekend, take with you your insurance card, a photo ID, emergency contact information and a brief medical history.
I'm done being mother hen.
Happy trails,
Thumbs

Hey Thumbs,
That it is absolutely the best idea! everyone, make sure that you add the following:
-- any allergies (medication-wise)
-- hotel you're staying at
And tell your riding buddy(s) where you hide the spare key on your truck/car.
We loaded up a buddy once to get hauled to "ow-house" and it was only after he left... that we realized that he had his truck keys in his fanny pack with him. Luckily we *did* find the hidden key (one of his buddy's knew where it was) and we were able to load up his bike and bring his truck back for him.
So Thumbs is right. Prepare for the worst - hope for the best.
Bummer on your bud... give him our best. -- E-Ticket

Gee Tony, you sure are spending your fair share of time in hospitals with friends. ;)
That's definitely a good idea. You and I both know it. I remember feeling like such an idiot when we were with AJ at the hospital. He told me where his insurance card was and I gave it to the nurse. She looked at me funny and said that was for his Dental insurance and wouldn't do any good unless he was interested in getting his teeth cleaned while he was there! :eek:
If anyone is injured while I'm present, it doesn't matter how prepared you are with information..... I'm still gonna riffle through your wallet! I think it's a chick thing. :p jk
btw, you make and excellent mamma hen. ;)
sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he will be alright. :ugg:

Excellent idea Thumbs. I agree. Especially in Reno due to riding in a strange area with people that you have just met. I will talk to the guys that are going to be with me so that we have that info in our fannypacks.
yo' buddy...
Susan and I are planning on doing a short, easy check-out ride of Moon Rocks on Friday ....late-morning/early-afternoon. Nothing major - just run around a bit and get a feel for the area, check out temps, riding gear needed, etc.
We're staying at the PepperMill Casino Motor Lodge - getting in late Thursday night. Where are guys staying? - rb

Sharla,
You might want to bring along some extra BBR business cards and flyers.
After the "ladies" try out Susan's BBR200 - you mya be going home with some orders!
We were fielding more comments yesterday at the Indoor Arena... and they're always the same. Wife/girlfriend has KX/YZ/CR/RM 80/100 .... great suspension and size.... too damn pipey for the woods. Where did you get your BBR and how much? (grin)
Cheers! - E-Ticket

Thumbs - Great Idea
I was already planning on placing directions on back to the Moonrocks map, to the closest hospital. I too have paid several visits to the hosptal visiting friends over the last 4 weeks. Another buddy got hurt yesterday.
How about this for an idea. Make a copy of your insurance cards. Bring that copy with you. We will put them in a stack in say, my trailer, and if someone is hurt everyone will have access to the info. All in one nice easily located area.
This way GSR can stay out of our wallets;)
--> I am going to try to put out pie plates at Winnemucca ranch road. This is probably the easiest part of the journey to drive past.
Keep the ideas coming. Thanks to all (i.e. GSR, Thumbs, Doug M....)

Actually I might send the cards with you . . . something came up, and suddenly it's not looking good for me to go. :( Just plain can't afford it. I'm sorry everybody, I was really looking forward to this.
Friday Night Dinner
Add 4 more to the dinner reservations. Me, Wife, 2 Kids.
Wife and youngest boy just got over the flu, now oldest son has it. Should be better by Thursday since it runs about 6 days and he got it last Thursday.:( Doctor says 'strong maybe' that he'll be better. Talk about cutting it close.:ugg: It's amazing how he's following Dr.'s order to get better in time:) I think I'll sleep in the RV, don't want to take any chances getting sick this close to the fun:)

Okay, I could go back through this bazillion page post and find out for myself, but I don't wanna. :confused: It seems there will be several people either arriving on Thursday or early on Friday and are going to head out to Moonrocks to ride on Friday. Could I get a show of hands from those people?
I think I've got the following. Am I missing anyone?

GSR
Thumbs
MR WR
Fremontguy
E-ticket
the ant
Firelily
Buddy

Bluethumper

Speedy,
I've heard a departure time of 9AM Friday thrown out for my group. Not sure if this is really gonna happen or not. I'm pushing for 9AM so I can get in some riding on Friday afternoon. It's ~4 hour drive from here and we'll go to where we are staying first.
I know how to get to Moonrocks and could find my way around the area if necessary.
email me your cell # and I'll keep you posted.

Central Oregon Ride?
NVR FNSH,
Yes, east of Bend about twenty five miles is a great OHV area, East Fort Rock, with decent camping facilites including vault toilets. It is snowed in right now, but should start thawing out sometime in March or April. See link below:
http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/centraloregon/recinfo/cohvops/eastfortrock/efrgener.html
It is just an idea for later in the spring or early summer before the dust gets to bad. If anyone is interested we can start another post and try to get something going. ;)

Hahahaha...... I only have about 15 hours before I'm headed to Kiwi's place to meet GSR & TTRGuy there for some of GRS's chicken enchiladas. After a good meal and a few hours of sleep we will be on the way.
I have printed out all the name tags that I can with the information that I have. Below are a few folks that I don't have names for. If you would like you can PM me with the names or just post here. I will bring blank tags for those that I don't hear from.
