Bay Area C43/C36 MEET

Would like to organize a meet for all of us to get together that are in the bay area, or close by and willing to travel.


First wanted to get a sense for anyone interested in this and than we can work out the details. I know Pedrobenz wants to meet and am pretty sure there are a few other guys on here in the area. Its always nice to get together.


Let me know if your interested and we can set it up.

Starbucks
The Shops at Tanforan

Parking behind Burger King on the right when you first drive in


I was thinking of a Friday night meet at a parking lot near Tanforan shopping center in San Bruno. Some other car clubs meet in this area as well and there is a starbucks near by for refreshments. Thinking we can get together around 9:30pm. Let me know what you think. Thinking next Friday 9/11/15.

I would throw out meeting at Alice's on a Saturday or Sunday up along the ridgeline of the coastal mountains at the intersection of 84 and 35. Usually some pretty awesome cars and motorcycles up there and it doesn't matter which direction you go from there, you are guaranteed an awesome drive of switchbacks and elevation changes.

So funny you mentioned this, Its literally my back yard where I rode sport bikes for years. Just wasn't sure if everyone would be up for it since its out of the way, but I think thats a great idea. Who is up for this Saturday at 10am? if not we can schedule a later date everyone can make.

I am up for this Saturday at 10 at Alice's.

After that, I won't be available the next 4 weekends as I have family coming into town and I will be tied up with them.

It sounds like at least two 202 AMG's will be there this Saturday. Doesn't mean there can't be another one if this doesn't work for most people.

Roll call:
1.) hookah
2.) ECTurboGSX

Hookah,

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it. I now have to work tomorrow, which I am not looking forward to. Sorry for the late notice, I just got home. We'll have to catch up some time in the future. I've done 84 a few times but I have yet to drive 35 and am looking forward to checking it out.

Yeah, it didn't happen.

So where would be a good spot to meet? I'm in Livermore but I don't really mind driving. The meet in the mountains would have been over an hour drive for me. I'm not really interested in meeting up at 10 PM on a Friday night with the street racer crowd. But during the day on a weekend would be good.
