so a little birdie whispered in my ear...
The Tradition Lives on…
Yes folks, the infamous naked ride is upon us, brought to you this year by Dave, Adrian and crew. Just a few things before you get the details…
YOU MUST READ THIS
1. This ride is the motorcycle equivalent to a polar bear swim.
(http://www.imagesofcolorado.com/polarbear03.html 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. 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.
5. 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 issues.
6. Leghumpers, mouth-breathers and "helpers".
If you can't behave in a civilized manner around naked people. Do not show up.
Additionally, If I don't think you can behave yourself. You will
leave. I get paid tell people 'No', crush their hopes and generally be a stubborn asshole. I'm good at my job. Dave is the 'nice' one, I'm not.
And don't arrive expecting 'just to help' or block traffic. It's taken care of and more than covered.
Okay. Now the fun bits….
When: Feb.26th Meet at 9:00pm. Leave for the secure staging area at 9:30
Where: Café Pergolesi (http://www.theperg.com/directions.shtml)
I know none of you actually will, but RSVP to
(naked.ride(AT)gmail(DOT)com) if you are planning on attending so we can get a headcount.
Lastly, the past few years, after the ride we've gone to Kiva Hot Tubs http://www.kivaretreat.com/ and plan to do so again. I'm open to allowing people who aren't braving the ride joining the group afterwards but they might have to kick in a little extra. Pricing is sane (~$20) but fluctuates with the number of people so please RSVP.
The tubs open at Midnight.
