Sorry Brain...with age comes a cage

 

[OGShocker]

So the hard date is jan 18-19?

Anyone want to do the camp out in the desert deal again like years past?

Dave,

I would be up for this! NOTE: I snore like a mutherf**ker! You have been warned!

Are we leaving from Havasu or will we have to trailer the SxS's to Parker?

 

[DaytonaBabe]

Bump... January is closing in :thumbsup

 

[RiverReality]

Has the RDP camp out been combined with this desert bar run?

 

[DaytonaBabe]

Has the RDP camp out been combined with this desert bar run?

Not sure... hopefully Dave will chime in. I think it would be great to combine it. The more the merrier.


We can't do the camp part, as out trailer is at the river... we'll be there though, even if we have to get a hotel room. :thumbsup

I kind of want in on this, it's a hell of a commute though ! The last one was a blast ! It was my first RDP gathering. Rich had the strobe lights going, it was sweet !

How remote/rugged is the camp site? Is it 40' class A moho accessible?

This year we will be doing it on a flat spot right beside the road.. Pushers no problem etc. had some complaints on the last location from the ground being a little soft.. Lol

Damn, I was just going to start another thread. Because..... 2 just wasn't enough.

Camping sounds fun. I've never been to the Desert Bar so a few questions. When you say "next to the road", is the camp spot closer to Parker or the Desert Bar? How much dirt road to get to the camp spot?

 

[CampbellCarl]

Brian, last one I went to, the camping site was about 500 yards off of Shea Rd (just past the Chevy Dealership on the way out of town (toward Phoenix). RD promises to make it closer to Shea road as Hank's buddy & AJ both had to be towed out. My 35' pusher only made it out cause I waited for the tow trucks to clear the area and stayed in the throttle even through some woops (tow truck driver waited to see if I was going to make it out and told me that he'd never seen a pusher get 'air' under the fronts).

I'll go again but want to be closer to Shea road so RD can tow me out......

Coming in from CA, cross the bridge, stay straight at 95, pass Parker-Poston Rd, pass Chevy dealer left on Shea then out about 5 miles or so.

Anyone else bringing bikes to this deal?

If my brother comes he will , so will his buddy. I'm currently window shopping

There is some flat spots just up and on the other side of Shea rd that are hard pack and big enough for the wagon train.

That's why I asked. No desire to go through whoops or drive 5 miles down a dirt road in the moho. With the fans and radiators in the rear it F's it up pretty good.

Sounds good.

I have a place in town to stay at but would rather camp out and party and not have to drive back into town.

Ok I may need some help. I have a rack for my bike for the rear of the Motorhome. But since my son is coming too. I would need to tow the enclosed trailer just for 2 bikes unless anyone from the El Monte area can bring one bike for us... Was going to bring them in the truck and stay at the house, but camping sounds fun

I'm sure we can find someone with a truck heading this way.

Or locate another rack and we can stick it in my moho receiver for the trip out and back.

<<<< In Whittier, not far from you.

Thanks Carl. Hopefully we can find a truck to throw it in. If not I'll see if I can borrow a rack.

So who's camping? And who's just going to the Desert Bar on Saturday?

Daytona Babe, we are more then likely going to camp, but if you don't want to camp you're more then welcome to stay at my pad.

Thanks for the offer, Dave - very kind of you. I talked to James about it last night and we are both down to camp since the whole delivery of the trailer deal sounds easy enough. I'll just need some directions or a specific spot to tell them where to take it. I wish we could just bring our 5th wheel, but that would just be a pain in the ass. Much easier this way and that way we get to be around for the whole thing. :thumbsup

 

[RiverDave]

I will talk to Will when it gets a little closer on the drop off spot.. But basically out Shea Rd, just past Osborne wash on the right.

[Tommy Gun Images]

Looks like a lot of desert time in my future! I've got a ride/photo shoot coming up in Ocotillo the week before the RDP trip, then King of Hammers in Feb. Time to get dirty :thumbup:

 

[BDMar]

List:
1) B&DMaine 2 bikes

If I go I'll be up Thursday so I can have them set the trailer in a good spot for you if need be. I rented from them for this same gig about two years ago and just called him when I was about 15 miles out and they showed up five minutes after I got there, worked out perfect! He's easy to work with and my trailer was nice and clean.

Just don't get the one I rented.........
