Hey Mary, If you let Mat buy Larry’s 1975 R90/6, he’ll take you to Death Valley next March, and do all the laundry for 6 months!
DV update! Our departure time (8:30) and place (Flo’s Airport Cafe) haven’t changed, but our route has. In order to avoid as much rain/wind as possible, we’ll stay on highway 15 to Baker, then north on 127 (Death Valley Road) to Shoshone. We’ll turn left on 178 (Jubilee Pass Road) which becomes Badwater Road. After a left on 190 we’ll be at Furnace Creek.
This was my return route, but thanks to Pete Rissman’s sage advice, I’ll reverse it. We’ll be taking a more pleasant ride to DV.
The return route will be a reversal of our original route, back through Trona etc.
Hey DV riders, let’s meet at Flo’s Airport Cafe on Friday. We might get a bit of rain that morning, so bring rain gear!
Chino Airport, 7000 Merrill Ave Bldg.A315, Chino, CA 91710
KSU at 8:30am. Please have a full tank. If you want to eat one of their fine breakfasts, you should arrive at 7:30am.
We’ll take Euclid north to 60 east, then north on 15 to the 395 north. We’ll stop at Kramer Junction to top off and make a pit stop.
After continuing on the 395, we’ll turn right on Trona Road to Trona to get fuel and a bite to eat.
Then we’ll continue north to 190, where we’ll turn right to Stovepipe Wells for a final top-off. The gas prices at Furnace Creek can be jaw dropping!
Then on to Furnace Creek and the group camping area. If you arrive separately, tell the park attendant that you are with the Airhead motorcycle group.
See you there!
Thanks Eric. It’s probably too late to mail a check, but we all (should) know how to use PayPal. They need an accurate headcount beforehand so they can buy enough food and beverages!
Great ride, great turnout, and a better breakfast than I expected. Thanks for putting it together, Ron. It was nice to meet some new faces too!
I’m a big fan of Wolfman stuff. Durable, fairly priced, and made in ‘Merica!
