USA California 2015 Meeting at Yosemite, Sep 24-27

[Susan Johnson]

We're back to a great location - the Mariposa fairgrounds just outside of Yosemite National Park that boasts gorgeous rides from every direction, like the famed Tioga Pass.

Lots of camping space, several large presentation rooms, stadium space for demos, a garden for socializing and late night HU fun, and a very friendly town!

Flip Morton and Nicole Espinosa are the local hosts for this event, ably supported by Craig Haggart and Bill Miner.


Online registration is open now! Early bird rates until Jan 31, 2015!

interesting....but i will not know about my workdays and what days off i will have for sept till july.
makes it very hard to do any long term planing. he11 even short term can have problems.
but at least it is not far from where i live. could do the little dragon twice a day if i had too.

By then we should have completed a 115 day 28,000 mile US round trip. We should get the bike perfectly clean for return to Australia and with everything checked in and our return flight on the 3rd October, we hope get a hire car and to drop in to the Forum before flying home.

I'm registered... Is there another "Who's going" thread? Or is this it?

[randy123]

[randy123]

Just too give a heads up to all riders going to Mariposa in September for the meeting. Per the Yosemite/National Park web sites...on Saturday Sept. 26th....is a FREE day to ride into Yosemite. If you are not going to any of the presentations and want to ride instead (?)....you can get into Yosemite with no entry fee. Me.....Ill be hitting up some of the presentations.....just a heads up to everyone....see you all soon.

Hi all,

With the HU meeting California meeting coming up next month, I wanted to put out an offer for travelers who are going to be in the area just before or after.

I am a HU member based in San Francisco. I belong to a local co-op/club/community/workspace called Piston & Chain. More details at Piston & Chain's web site or facebook.com/pistonandchain . We're basically in downtown SF (SoMa) with several motorcycle shops nearby and with easy access to the visitor-y spots.

1285 Folsom St., San Francisco, CA 94127

The club would like to make the following offer:

- Full access to the workshop, including tools, oil disposal, tire changing machine, lifts, air compressors, etc for 2 days
- Overnight storage inside the shop for 2 nights (locked and alarmed)
- Receiving services - have any parts/tires/bits sent here and we'll hold them for you at least until HU California or shortly afterwards

Cost: $40 (this is a reduced rate against the usual visitor+storage or monthly fees)

Note - I have no financial interest in the club other than being a member.

Please email me at dpifko@socialnav-inc.com or call/text at +1 650-207-1999 if you're interested.

Happy riding,

Daniel

That's annoying. I'm going to be in the area but have to be in LA on the Saturday so I'll miss the Yosemite free day. We'll be up around the area of the meet on the Sunday but not much point in calling in then as, presumably, everyone else will be leaving.

I'm in Murrieta (between San Diego and Riverside). I'm planning on riding up on Thursday up 395 through Yosemite to Mariposa. Anyone want to ride along?

I'll be coming from Utah. I'll likely come via US 50 across Nevada to Carson City, then 395 south to the 120
This is my first HU event.

Aloha,
My wife and I will be coming from Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you there!
Mahalo,

Hello, folks, Joe Berk from CSC here. I look forward to meeting all of you at this event.

Looking forward to another great event and seeing old friends.

I can video the moto skills workshop Jimmy Lewis is doing again if you like.

I had also planned on presenting a two week fly and ride I did in Bolivia as an example of what's attainable by most of us who work for a living. If that's still something you have room for, then great.
