Idea for a 02 drive...no I am not attending!

[dubois]

Yep, its that time of year...time to ride bare assed through town.

YOU MUST READ THIS IF YOU ARE THINKING OF SHOWING:

1. This ride is the motorcycle equivalent to a polar bear swim.

(http://www.polarbearclub.org/ for those unfamiliar.)

That means that, yes, it is supposed to be cold.

2. Naked is nothing but helmet, boots and gloves.

3. For the safety minded types. If you think you can't handle a low

speed, low mileage cruise around town without stacking, you might want

to rethink your lifestyle.

4. It's rain or shine. At least your gear won't get soaked.

5. The bikes are staged at a secluded/secure location so people can strip, bag up their clothes,

and a quick mount-up and take off can be made.

Clothing is transported via a chase vehicle to the final destination.

6. Legality: Technically in Santa Cruz it's ok to be naked as long as you're not conducting yourself in a 'Lewd' or 'Lascivious' manner, and of course nobody complains. So as long as you're not standing on your gastank and shaking your frozen junk at pedestrians and motorists, there's no fear of the local PD bulk-arresting a bunch of newly suspected sex offenders in helmets.

We've been doing this for years now without any real issues.

7. Leghumpers, mouth-breathers and "helpers":

If you can't behave in a civilized manner around naked people. Do not show up.

Additionally, if we don't think you can behave yourself, you will leave. (no 'asking' involved)

Don't arrive expecting 'just to help' or block traffic. It's been taken care of and more than covered.

Okay. Now the fun bits.

When: Jan. 1 st Meet at 7:00pm.

Where: Cafe Pergolesi (http://www.theperg.com/directions.php) for starters then onto the actual staging area.

As always, there's an afterparty with a fire. A few out of town folks traditionally get hotel rooms in town after the ride.

So check your local forums for threads for sharing space.

I'm just curious ~how~ you happened upon this.

I hear he's comfortable if photographed via an '02 passenger side mirror!

LOL!!! Yeap that is the last time I pee on the side of the road, behind a rear view mirror - you never know - even phones have cameras!

Steve, a friend who bikes (motorcycles) send me this email - I asked him if he was attending - hell no - that was his answer.
