2 wheel drives can make it. Air all 4 tires down to around 12 LBS. and go at low tide. If you are pulling a trailer, air down those tires as well. You can get a high/low tide sheet off the internet, PM me and I'll shoot you the address. We pull people out ALL the time, don't accept money, just ask to pick up ALL your trash at your campsite when you leave. Maybe we'll you some of you there next weekend.

I'm in if I can schedule it. I'm an "old guy" with a wife, daughter and full-time job to schedule around. It doesn't have to be a three-day weekend - in fact it's better if it isn't. We can MAKE it a three day weekend though by just taking Friday from work.

What town do you live in or close to wanta250r?
I wonder if my grandpa will let me use his RV then.
I'm just afaird that I'll get stuck if I bring my 6x12 single axle trailer, I got a 2wd truck.
I was going to go to pismo this weekend, but the pin in the camshaft on my 84 came out, on my 79 has a flat tire.

I'm all for Pismo. Is this the season for Pismo?

**wanta250r** · 06-07-2003, 08:04 PM

I live 12 miles west of Tehachapi, California. Whick is about 40 Miles east of Bakersfield. Which is about 1 - 2 hours south of Delano. ?

I might be able to give you a ride then maybe. I don't really want to take 46 to 101, because they're doing work on the freeway through the mountains and it gets really tight. So I might take 166 I think to the 101 then. If you could get to bakersfield I will give you ride then.
It depends when we are going to have this. I going back to school in San Diego next week. But I do have some weekends off from school.
I'm still in though.

Looks like you guys are off to a good start! I have some suggestions for you.

First decide exactly where. Looks like youve pretty much picked Pismo, but if not, you can post it in a poll form. Id then suggest doing the same thing, and post a poll offering different weekends to select a date. Also, just a suggestion, but Id pick a name that will distinguish this event from the Haspin one, but that is entirely up to you. "Trikefest" will always be synonomous with the Haspin event, so youll, probably want to call it something else, especially if it becomes an annual event, which tends to happen, such as Westfest Trike Rally 03 or I or something. Im sure somebody has other suggestions. Thats up to you but it will help distinguish yours as being a different event. Once youve got the place and the date, I would call the place, and tell them what you are doing. Ask about prices, group rates and discounts for groups, as well has reserving a group camp area so you can all camp as a group, and everyone knows where to meet. Also any other info such as stickers, or other things required, or any special rules people should know about, especially those traveling from a different state. After you get the where, when, and details, youll want to make a flyer or brochure for the event, that cam be posted and downloaded from the site. That way people can drop them in mc shops and other places, or invite riders who may not be computer geeks! Make sure to list the website, as the site admins can help you with posting the information here, as well as using the local riding forum for q&a. I hope your event is a huge success, and dont get discouraged if the first try is small. These events also tend to grow each time, as people really dont want to be left out after hearing about them (which probably prompted this one). Good luck, and let us know if you have any questiosn about "where to go from here" as we would all love to see this west coast event be as successful as the Indiana one!

well it looks like pismo is the place now for a date how far away do you think we should make it july, aug, setp?? with an early notice like this about any weekend would be good for those of you who dont know pismo is on the beach its hot in the day but there is always the ocean to cool off you can ride jet skis right off the dunes. looks like we might have have a nice little group

**bigred110** · 06-10-2003, 01:28 AM

I would say july 4 weekend, because I got that weekend off from school

, but it'll be really pack that weekend though. I don't really care what date you set it though.
I don't know being hot over their. It's overcast usually and it's good idea to bring a long sleeve shirt and some sun tan lotion.

**NOS_350X** · 06-10-2003, 10:52 AM

i can guarintee that there is no way we could have it the 4th you have to have reservations and they fill up real quick on the 4th, easter, memorial and laborday

**TimSr** · 06-10-2003, 12:01 PM

At Haspin we had considered Memorial Day weekend, but thankfully we had it the week after. They said they were jam packed on the holiday weekend, as most places are. Just something to keep in mind about considering a holiday weekend.

**Joel85350X** · 06-10-2003, 03:42 PM

Name:

WestSide Trikefest = Pismo

EastSide Trikefest = Haspin

You can use your hand to make the "W" symbol while saying it, too. 8)

I know a few of us over here in the Tri-State area may be interested in a road trip to California. I have never been there, been to 33 states, but never Cali. Make sure you make all of the decisions here on the board so we can keep in touch and figure out if some of us can come. Might have to bolt a set of paddles on the X. :-D

**Trike Mike** · 06-12-2003, 11:59 AM

Hey fellas! I'm new to this forum. I live down in San Diego and would be down for Pismo for a summer trike fest. Let me know what is going down. I usually hit the desert east of S.D. and a few dunes south of the border. Any tirkers want to through some sand let me know!!

**ATC crazy** · 06-12-2003, 06:02 PM

Welcome Mike...

I was born and raised in Sacramento, CA. If we hadn't moved to VA, I would love to come, although If we stayed I would probably not have any ATV.
