pakidaho Posted December 12, 2011 #26 Posted December 12, 2011 I know a couple of folks in Idaho that would more n likely show up, just put out those dates and we will bring potatoes.
SilvrT Posted December 12, 2011 #27 Posted December 12, 2011 we will bring potatoes. No need ... I heard certain riders will be bringing lots of potato-potato-potato-potato ...
Sailor Posted December 12, 2011 #28 Posted December 12, 2011 Got to fit it in between the return from Bucerias, the Nelson ride, the trip to Wyoming and the Santa toy run and the visit from my son. Dang! It's tough to be retired, ya just don't have enough time.
SilvrT Posted March 16, 2012 #32 Posted March 16, 2012 Due to recent events that were unpredictable, our finances will be so drained we'll be lucky to afford weiners 'n beans for dinner so, aside from Kruisin Kootenays, we won't be going anywhere this year I'm sad to say.

Hey, welcome to my world..... But KTK will be a blast so it will be worth it. Brian
DarkLeftArm Posted March 16, 2012 #34 Posted March 16, 2012 definitely interested, like the rest, depending on dates. Sounds like a great idea.
islandmech Posted March 16, 2012 #35 Posted March 16, 2012 I'm in for a Wetcoast ride... maybe we should meet somewhere on the Oregon coast, or just come on up to Vancouver Island. Curvey roads and big trees! Cheers, Gary

Condor Posted March 16, 2012 Author #37 Posted March 16, 2012 Just an update on the possibility of a West Coast get2gether. Vic is now slaving away at a new job, besides being a local Star Rider Pres, and District Star Rep, and I'm still not even close to riding condition health wise, so if there is going to be a 'Venture West V' it's going to need a couple volunteers to step up and put it together. I wish it wasn't so, but it is.... There has been quite a few positive responses to this thread, so I don't see a lack of interest....
09RSTD Posted March 16, 2012 #38 Posted March 16, 2012 I would be interested in gathering for a ride. Please keep us all posted as to when and where.
KIC Posted March 16, 2012 #40 Posted March 16, 2012 What about St George Utah area ? Close to CA, NV UT and AZ...I want to ride Zion National park again..that has been on my radar....
Sailor Posted March 16, 2012 #41 Posted March 16, 2012 Interested but it takes half a day just to get off the island and another half day to get back. Would be more interested if it were more than just two days.
wizard Posted November 7, 2012 #42 Posted November 7, 2012 When was the last West Coast Venture ride? I think it was to Pismo Beach. Been quite a while ago. All I can remember, it was totally awesome. Miss those rides. The people were like no others in this world. We would defiantly make time for it. We don't see any Ventures where we ride!
Miles Posted November 7, 2012 #43 Posted November 7, 2012 Count me in !!!! If you folks want to have a West Coast Venture ride-in...I'll be there.
Condor Posted November 7, 2012 Author #44 Posted November 7, 2012 Vic..LoneEagle.. and I set that last one up in San Luis Obispo, along with locals Jack..Jercoupe.. and Bev.. in 2008. It was a combined effort of VR's and the Contra Costa Star group, and we did have fun.. Afterwards the Cody International took up most of our spare time, and the Venture West's were put on the back burner due to time constraints. Prior to Cody we had tossed around a few ideas for a Venture West, but nothing came to the planning stage. To be perfectly honest Cody flat burnt us out. I haven't touched bases with Vic lately, but am aware of his job load, and his commitment to being the President of the CC Star Riders that is taking up a lot of his time. I'm now recovering from major surgery and will be out of touring action for most of the winter/spring. So here's the rub. Somebody needs to step up and plan a Venture West for next summer. I did post a 'what if' over last summer about Susanville VW reunion and if I remember correctly got a lot of positive responses. Hey, it's a start....
SilvrT Posted November 7, 2012 #45 Posted November 7, 2012 FWIW, we won't be doing a Kruis'n Kootenays in 2013 (unless someone else takes it on) so having a Venture West might be a good idea since there hasn't been one for a while. Not sure if we can attend but I'd bet some of the gang who've attended KK might attend VW. I can provide the attendee list from the last KK (back in July).
Miles Posted November 7, 2012 #46 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) While you mentioned...Susanville...I would like to throw into the hat the ideas of having a VentureWest Ride-In in...South Lake Tahoe. While I don't live down there anymore, I used to live there, right on the lake, and I am very familiar with that area. A lot of great riding roads...50,000 motel rooms available, camping grounds available, riding around the lake, gambling at the casinos, 3,000 restaurants, etc. While South lake Tahoe can be busy during the summer, there are still weekends that are open with no activities in town. Just a thought:whistling: Edited November 10, 2012 by Miles

Just a thought:whistling: Tahoe would be a good choice if there wasn't so much traffic during the summer months. We did a day ride around the lake a few years ago and it was a zoo....especially the west shore... Things may have changed a bit since you were there last time?? Now if you want to eat, drink, and gamble, and not do any 2-wheel exploring it would be great....

But there are a couple of weeks, and weekends when there are not major activities going on in South Lake Tahoe, or around the lake. And...if you get five miles out of the lake area, the windy twisty roads are all open with little to no traffic. I am just saying, if people are interested, someone could check with the Chamber of Commerce and find out if there are any open weeks or weekends when no other major activity is scheduled, and try to shot for those times.

Miles Posted November 10, 2012 #50 Posted November 10, 2012 Sounds like that may be right up your alley...... Okay, I will do the checking. I will let YOU know what I find.
