Maybe a clue is in order.


You will have to drive to the end of the pier to get to this one.

Dean!! Congrats on making the site. I had just about given up.

Sorry about the flat, but thank you Kennedy Motorcycles for being there to help.

About that speeding!! :cop2: You are one lucky guy.

Just so every one knows this site was at the end of Avila Beach Pier. You can drive your bike right to the end of the pier. Very cool this time of year!

[laterob]

Well, I finally got it. 350 miles round trip. Nice ride, but I coulodn't duplicate the snow. Next one was on the way home....pretty famous.........if you need a cheesy clue, I own the NorCal and CenCal tag (for now).

Ride safe

[roadriderg]

Congrats on the tag!!!

That second one is tuff. I don't have a clue where that is.
Cheeze uh? Between sonora pass and sacramento umm!

Gary
:04biker:

[laterob]

Here you go, Gary....pretty far for you beach guys. Maybe somebody local could get it and do the next one closer to you salt lovers.

[Fireball]

That looks like an excuse to go to the Waterloo Inn for ribs friday evening!

[motown209]

CONGRATULATION
GOOD JOB.. OK. THE RACE IS ON FOR THE NEXT ONE..!!:bow1::beer3:

[stharv]

[stharv]

[laterob]

Well, done, Harv! Let's not get to the bottom of the tags again :-). I was gonna bump this tag, but then you got it!

[motown209]

This was in My back yard..Hay Harv ..I know some Twisties for the next one .
Lets go get it this weekend and post on monday..Your Little Bro ..Dean..

[illzoni]

Have the areas of NorCal, CenCal, and SoCal been defined?

[stharv]

just looking , looks like bakersfield and sacramento sort of thirds it up...kinda sorta maby, but who likes to stay inside the lines??:D

[illzoni]

Well, if I ride from home in Ventura County and snag the the tag in the Bay Area and retag it down here, would that be fair to the CenCal area?

[stharv]

did somebody snag your tag???

[motown209]

O Yes.. Love competition.. Now Can I come TO Southern Cal ..
Let me ask you this ..Are you Peaved becaused I went to San Luis and got the tag..Hello..I LIVE IN CENTRAL CA...MODESTO...And 250miles Is just getting the oil warm for me ...No one has set up BOUNDRIES..SO ..help Me out!!!..IF that was a taboo for me well ..I..AM..SORRY..
But what if we played it like an ALL STate tage..?????
Like the PONY EXPRESS.tag..
But I do have the weekend off I can come get SOUTHERN CA..:bannana:banghead::biker:
Dean..

[illzoni]

Oh, I'm not feeling slighted. Just curious in case I get the chance to grab one...don't want to unfairly move the tag area. But if everyone's okay with a little play, I may try it when the opportunity presents itself.

[motown209]

Cool..But Please dont go to far..Keep it this side of the Grape vine..
:D :biker: Dean..
P.S. It is all about the RIDE.. AND .. PIE...

I don't think anybody's trying to lay down exact lines, but we were chatting about the SoCal/CenCal/NorCal lines here http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42795&page=2

I think it's a good idea to divide them up somewhat so as to allow more people to play more frequently. If California was one big tag area, it might be harder for some people to play. Imagine being in NorCal and riding 500+ miles to get a TAG, just to find out somebody beat you to it. And some members just may not have the funds or time for a ride that big. They'd have to wait for the TAG to get brought back up up north. Looking at how active the SoCal TAG is, that could be a while.

As far as being from outside the TAG area, who cares.....go for it. Just keep the tag within the play area for the particular TAG. Heck, the SoCal TAG was shuffled by a member from Arizona in the middle of the night.

[motown209]

WELL if you think about it ..calif.. has Southern..what I call LA..
Then we have Southern, Central , and Northern Valley,
the Bay area ,and the North State..
We Could have 5 tags or more...:D

[motown209]

OK..I was in need of a good ride,to unwind,and today was a good one!!
Heres the Tag..

Mount Hamilton?

[stharv]

yes , back by the dorm , we went up from patterson, the long way.:D

[Mellow]

Hey, I've got this tag, but can't post the photos. I get:

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:

The website is encountering problems.

Can anyone help me?

TIA,
Jon

How are you trying to post? attach?

[illzoni]

Here's my photo at Mt Hamilton.

[illzoni]

And here's my new tag.

I'll be posting other photos from today's ride later this evening or tomorrow.

BTW, I went to the Arizona vs. Stanford football game yesterday and returned home today. (Is that enough of a clue?)

[illzoni]

How are you trying to post? attach?

Attaching worked.

The first version of the problem photo showed "0" bytes when I moused over it. Resaving with PhotoShop resulted in a jpg showing nearly 100k. That one attached without issue.

Thx,
Jon

[Mark]

Probably enough of a clue even without knowing you went to a game in the north and ended the day in Ventura! And I'm sitting in Tucson!!! :)

[illzoni]

Here are some more photos from my ride:

[motown209]

ILLZONI...GREAT JOB.....
YOUR POST WILL BE A GOOD RIDE.....HOPE I CAN MAKE IT, DEAN :D

[Fireball]

Yikes! Thats pretty far south. I may be heading to the coast this weekend, but North of SF.

[stharv]

isnt that the bridge east of 49 that goes to foresthill?

[Onicabbit]

hmm... another hint?

[Mark]

Hint:
Cold Springs Tavern.

[Onicabbit]

oh....OH....:banghead: of course its the one thing I didn't try searching for. :nuts1: OK I got uncle duties up in the Bay Area this weekend so I'll punt the TAG spot northward :D..... unless i get beat out by friday!

[illzoni]

Hint:
Cold Springs Tavern.

That's subtle.

[roadriderg]

I know exactly where that is. I just hope I have time to get up there and get a picture. I have had lunch at that smokey tavern a few times.

Gary
:04biker:

[Mark]

Hey! I didn't post the name of the bridge... You did that!!! :)

[Onicabbit]

done!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooohooo my first TAG!

3770537706

wow what a tiny road that was on. Off-roading for the first time was a bit spookie!

[motomac]

Way to go Ed!!!! I doubt that one lasts long. Carole and Ellen should be chiming on Dana's SoCal tag shortly.

[illzoni]

Good get Ed!

But dude, why would an LA guy take it back up near the Bay?

[motomac]

I was wondering how he got so far north also, but was so happy he finally got a tag , didn't bother.

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Way to go, Ed!!!!!

[Onicabbit]

I'm at homehome right now. I got my sisters baby party tomorrow. I was thinking of hitting the socal one but the overall trip would have been 10-12 hours. I'm not quite ready for Fe- glutamous maxis type riding. :)

Are there any Tag rules about what delineates CenCal, SoCal, etc, or if it's acceptable to cross the lines?

[motomac]

I don't think so, at one time the CenCal and NorCal were only about 50 miles apart.

[illzoni]

Not really. I asked before and nothing was ever delineated.

I thought I showed some restraint when I tagged near Cold Spring Tavern up in Santa Barbara County. It would've been easy enough to bring it down to Ventura or LA Counties. I already have some good locations in mind down here, so next time it'll be no mercy!

[Onicabbit]

heh well if it's too far you will tell by how long it takes people to get to it.

[Onicabbit]

:bump you guys need hint?

[illzoni]

I think it's easy enough to figure out....just haven't been that way.

[Fireball]

I know where it is, i just try to avoid going to that region.

[illzoni]

???

I don't get it.

[Onicabbit]

probably a 5 hour round trip if i got his location correct.

[Fireball]

probably a 5 hour round trip if i got his location correct.

Yes, and i hate going into cities. I rode 250 miles yesterday on backroads and avoided lots of towns, too.
To get to this one i would have to ride over Altamont or Pacheco pass, or for extra credit over Mt. Hamilton. It's raining pretty good here now.

[Onicabbit]

hmmm no other takers? LOL fireball do i need to move it closer to you :D next time I'm up that way?
