Hi all! I added a bunch of links to our listserv site. There are
fellow moto-clubs, other listserv's, and links to Beth's web site and
pictures of DV2006.
PS -- I put our logo on the web site and our listserv too!
Cheers,
Brendan
Here’s the link to the 2006 ride. I have photos from ’99 too – I can
make up a quick slideshow and send you the link. I haven’t forgotten about the patch
design.

Brendan was just saying today that the XL125 would be a great bike for that
ride. We're probably going to go too. Last time Brendan took the CT200 and had
tons of fun. Now we just need to get Jason to revive the AT-1. Jason? Garrett
would have a blast up there playing with Sophie and her battery powered quad...

San Fernando Valley Illegal Soapbox Federation Race
Sun, May 13; 7am Twisted Oak course: Take Victory west past Valley Circle, R on Gilmore, L on Twisted Oak. Spectators park in the park at the top of Victory.
The problem with watching professional sports is there's usually an overabundance of competence, making thrilling, cataclysmic accidents all-too-rare. For something more amateur and unpredictably dangerous check out the San Fernando Valley Illegal Soapbox Federation Race, this Sunday.
Once a month, March through December, the Fed's cadre of anarchic jackasses come together to ride their fleetest cardboard-and-tin creations to rickety glory. While they have a couple of tried-and-true courses, this week's race is on uncharted asphalt; according to organizer Paul de Valera, these are the 3 hairiest sections to watch:
1. The first curve: Where most accidents happen, as it's frequently the first point where racers use their steering/brakes/helmets.
2. The big curve: Because of the high g-forces, heavier racers suddenly find themselves forced to slow down or skid out -- yet another situation where God has turned his back on Louie Anderson.
3. Victory Blvd: This final steep stretch will see the race's highest speeds. The cars' durability will be put to the ultimate test as racers rub wheels, bolts wiggle loose, tires burst, and Captain Caveman savagely beats Huckleberry Hound with a rock.
The first race of the day (7am) is for honor and title, with subsequent races and time trials lasting until the police arrive to round everybody up, and the truly dangerous amateurism begins.
Hi Todd ;
yes it was a great run indeed , even though I was in serious pain and
apperently kept others awake all night with my groans , sorry .
The Mercedes turned out to have a cavitated water pump _housing_ ,
along with the tow , it turned into a $2,000.00 water pump job but
what the hell .
Next to my name is my E-mail of if you have actual picures ping me
off list for my snailmail and I'll zip your a check to cover co$t$ .

o Never, my bike leaks so bad, I just add when needed.

First, Thanks to Brendan for starting this group and inviting us!
Also THANK YOU to everyone who helped and participated in the 10th annual 2007
Death
Valley run.
Of course Brendan and his wonderful wife were the perfect ride host's and made
for a very
enjoyable ride...
I am in the process of writing up a little story for the next issue of the CJMC
newsletter.
The current issue shows a photo of the two Honda CL200s under the "200 below sea
level"
sign on the way to Furnace Creek.
Thanks again to all who contributed to the ride and made it so much fun. Me and
Bob
Brown from Ridgecrest enjoyed the trip through our big backyard, something that
is best
when riding with a bunch of classic and vintage motorcycles, and classy folks!
Todd Evans
P.S. Nate: I have a photo or two of the "Benz" to get to you...let me know how
you want me
to get that to you...
Speaking of trailer queens, my neighbor, Chris Matty, won "best
british moto" at the corsa this year (1965? BSA). The bike has beenn
inn his family for at least 4 years and he has no idea if it will
run!!!! Sad, really...
Hopefully, word of the .5 breakyfast might instill some motivation to
get it to run the whole 3ish miles to the airport... One can only
hope.
Not to mention getting all my Cretin bretherin from bursting their LA
bubble and waking up before noon on their day off!!!
I'm still pro ridin my bicycle down there, too! It looks vintage, at
least...
