Earth Day 2019—Saturday April 20th

It’s time to celebrate Earth Day with our two stroke Replicas. Two strokes are inherently cleaner than four strokes with regards to agents that destroy the ozone. For that reason on 4/20 we will park the four strokes, and ride the two strokes.

This will be a decently paced ride so prep the bikes, lube up the chains, update the registrations, check the tires, and get that riding gear ready. Smaller (50~85cc) two stroke replicas like the Derbi GPR, and the Aprilia RS50 are very much encouraged. Fast mopeds (make sure your brakes work!), Scooters, Groms and such are okay!

Meet up Saturday April 20th at 10:30am, KSU at 11:00am.

We’ll meet up and gas up at the Chevron on Geary and Arguello. There will be additional gas stops along the way for the bikes that guzzle. Lunch will take place in Fairfax.

If you are looking for a Replica Racer check out the foro, and lets find one for you. If you still haven’t gotten your Replica Racer ready lets get on that, we can help you!

Route—this route is tentative.

It felt like a spring day in Chicago. The wind was strong enough to blow you into another lane, but the sky, the views, and the roads were beautiful. There was a lot of event competition today so only Toby on his Z and I made it out—but that’s fine. With only the two of us we were able to keep a very decent pace throughout the day.

Typically we start off at the Geary Chevron, and ride into the Presidio before crossing the Golden Gate.

Usually we run into some traffic, but today it was very light to non-existent for most of our ride.

Obviously I’m going to take photos of the bikes, but today I also had to get some landscape shots.

Some various shots from the day. We didn’t stop much on this ride since there were just the two of us. It really felt so great to be back out in the hills enjoying the corners, roads, sounds, sights, and smells.

And before we knew it the ride was over. Hope to see you cats at our next ride—Derbi de Mayo, Sunday May 5th!!
