| From the Rider’s
Seat By Roy Hooper First let me thank Jeff Rotter, Jeff Lardner, Joe Solis and Tim Bates for taking the excellent photos that are in this Newsletter. I also want to thank everyone that showed up on our rides in 2008 so far. What turnouts!! We not only have a variety of bikes, but personalities as well.  Our upcoming rides include May 4- Ride for Kids May 10- Jalama Beach suggested by Jeff Roe June 8- Wrightwood suggested by Carla. The Ride for Kids is our annual charity Fundraiser and we hope to have many of you show up for this ride. We will be LEAVING the Victoria Carl's Jr. AT 7 AM and we will have a pick up at the Camarillo Shell station at 7:10 and then take PCH to Torrance. NO FREEWAYS. The minimum donation is $30 and we donated $1,800 in 2007, our goal is to beat that in 2008. Let me know when you donate to RFK so I can give you a $20 Gift Card for Cal Coast Motorsports to THANK YOU! So far Jerry Purdy has donated $100 and Marty Cohen has raised at least $700. REMEMBER- Cal Coast Motorsports owners Craig and Tracy will match our total up to $5000 so let's try to raise this limit. There will be free donuts, pastries and drinks at the Honda HQs and The Victor McLaglen Motor Corps Drill Team will perform at 9 am. Our May 10 club ride is a SATURDAY and we're going to mix it up a bit. Jeff Roe is going to lead the club ride to Jalama Beach. Last month was a fast paced 300 mile day. This month's ride will be more laid back. So if you're new to club riding or you don't have all day to invest, this will be a perfect time to come out and join us. Then on June 8 Carla and I have a nice route planned on backroads to Wrightwood- NO FREEWAYS. So everyone- thank you for coming out on the rides that you are able to make as I enjoy making the routes and sharing these roads with you. And as always, send me your ideas and suggestions to make YOUR club even better. See you at Carl's Jr.! CCR
March Ride Nojoqui Falls By Roy Hooper The March Ride was suppose to go to Tehachapi but the winds were too strong so we opted to go to Nojoqui (No Ho Key) Falls hidden just 10 miles south of Solvang.  We had 13 bikes by the time we reached our final pick up point in Castaic and 7 ended up taking on the entire route. All the riders were Marty Cohen, Bill Munelo, Jerry & Mieko Purdy, (Continued) |
(Continued) Richard Sweet, Jeff & Germaine Rotter, Clark, Richard Gomes, Carla, Charles Kampausen, Eric Munck with Raquel and Jeff Lardner. We took 150 from its beginning in Santa Paula to its end in Carpenteria and then we took 101 straight to Buelton for a well deserved lunch at Anderson's Peas Soup. And it was agreed that next time through here we will go to nearby Ellen's Danish Pancake House. So with full tummies we rode our bikes to the Falls and took a group photo. After chillin' on the concrete couch at the Falls we headed home. CCR Click here for more Nojoqui photos. Members' Sites One advantage to being a CCR Member is that you can have your web site listed on our site. And since Mother's day is near one site you might want to look at now is Marty Cohen's digital card site. Marty has sent me 2 custom "Thank You" cards from his site and the finished product is very professional looking. So when you get a chance check out your fellow members' web sites and drop them a line.

April Ride Tehachapi By Roy Hooper Last month it was too windy for this ride but this time is was near perfect and it was worth the one month wait. We had another great turnout as we took nice backroads to Tehachapi. Before the ride some of you asked which freeways we were taking-5? 14? 99? If I can swing it, I'll forgo the freeways. We passed green youth camps, at least 4 lakes, windmill farms, the train loop and poppies. We arrived in Tehachapi at noon for a delicious lunch at the Village Grill which was suggested by Linda Swart.  The Village service in the large room all to ourselves was very good and they worked with us even though we arrived 30 minutes before our reservation and with 22 people instead of the 15. Jeff Roe and Richard Bell expressed their gratitude with the waitresses before we left. We headed back to the Poppy Reserve in Antelope Acres where Jeff Rotter, Jeff Lardner, Joe Solis and Tim Bates took some great photos.  My niece Amber who rode with me. carefully walks in the Preserve.  CCR Click here for more Tehachapi photos. ------------------------- FREE LUNCH question. There have been UFO spottings in the past 2 weeks- name at least 3 items/products out of 5 that we use now daily that some think came about because of UFO crash landings in the 50s. In fact, one of these products is used in MC clothing for protection. The first Member to email me at will get a free lunch on the next Club ride they attend.
