A trip for the Dude, maybe? - Page 5

Seattle_Chris · July 18th, 2010, 08:03 PM

The Grand Canyon pics are still on my Netbook. This is a placeholder for those pics. Oh, I can't believe this, I can't find the pics. Anywhere.

Right inside the entrance to the Venetian we found the blue man group! Yay!

100_1003.jpg
Gondola rides, these guys even sing songs.

100_1005.jpg
Nice shot of the aqueducts at the Venetian. The blue sky is a domed, painted ceiling. Really cool effect.

100_1007.jpg
Not sure why Humpty Dumpty is at the Venetian, but still pretty cool!

100_1008.jpg
One of the Venetians many roaming live performances.

100_1023.jpg
Treasure Islands "Siren Chopper"

And here is the one shot of Death Valley I got. I was running late and it was too hot to stop for more. I was trying to get out of their before it got REALLY hot.

So

.

Snake · July 19th, 2010, 04:48 AM

WOW! The dude is seeing some great places and getting lots of miles under his belt.

tabogon · July 19th, 2010, 05:23 AM

Chris is about ready to hand/ship the dude off to the next member, if you are on the west coast and would like to take the Dude in for a bit please let me or Chris know and we will set it up. Thanks.

EDIT: Unless I missed someone else, it looks like Tricia is the only person not on the original list that is on the west coast. Let us know if you would like to take him in, Tricia and we will get him to you.

Dano · July 28th, 2010, 08:10 PM

any update on the dudes travels.

Snake · July 29th, 2010, 04:56 AM

Yea, where is he going to next?

tinng321 · July 29th, 2010, 07:22 AM

What about NJ?

tabogon · July 29th, 2010, 10:29 AM

Chris is probably in an area that doesn't have any internet connection. Dude should be staying in CA for his next spot, but have yet to hear from anyone.

Snake · July 31st, 2010, 05:02 AM

Can you please post his latest itinerary?

tabogon · July 31st, 2010, 07:05 AM

Still the same as of now, just trying to figure out if he will be staying in CA or going to MO. We should be able to fit 2 more in before RC needs him. If he goes to CA then I will probably switch you with CRXTrek.

Snake · July 31st, 2010, 09:41 AM

That sounds good to me Josh.

spooph · July 31st, 2010, 11:10 AM

If the dude makes it close to CO, I'm willing to travel 300mi one-way to pick him up.

tabogon · August 10th, 2010, 03:29 PM

I am still waiting to hear back from Chris. It seems odd that he hasn't been on in a while and hope everything is going ok for him. It seems it is getting really close to his trip to see RC, so that is where he will need to go next. Anyone that was before her on the list that hasn't had time with the Dude will get their chance after RC.

Seattle_Chris · August 10th, 2010, 06:52 PM

Sorry guys, don't know why I stopped getting email notifications for posts (maybe my filtering in Gmail). I forgot I still had him.

Send me an address and he'll be off!

tabogon · August 10th, 2010, 07:03 PM

Understandable, I get side tracked a lot as well. I will let you know as soon as I get the info.

Snake · August 10th, 2010, 08:18 PM

Whooooo....For a while there I thought we were going to have a repeat of our other long lost traveler. Glad to see he will be on his way to his next destination.

rceezy · August 11th, 2010, 06:53 AM

I'm here!! It's almost my turn to show The Dude around!! ^_^ I promise I won't get him too drunk.

Anteraan · August 11th, 2010, 07:59 PM

RC, you're taking him to MotoGP, right? If so, I'd love to meet up with you (and any other "forumites" coming to Indy for the race weekend) there. As a side note: Triumph has their demo semi coming in that weekend to the dealership, which is just a few miles from the track.

Yep, I will be taking him to MOTOGP! PM me when the time nears and we can meet up!

Gfortunes · August 12th, 2010, 07:14 AM

I am in Bloomington and I would love to either have him before or after. PM me and let me know. Thanks

Anteraan · August 12th, 2010, 07:27 AM

Excellent, RC. I'm looking forward to it. George, you too. I'm off that whole weekend, so maybe I can plan a little get-together - maybe at the house after qualifying on Saturday, maybe just a group ride. Let me rack my brain over it some. I'll entertain any ideas from interested parties.

Dano · August 21st, 2010, 08:31 PM

Bump///// So whats up with the dude?? no activity is bad.. I thought this would be going great but seems to be petering out.

rceezy · August 22nd, 2010, 06:02 PM

I'm not sure where he is right now but I believe I should be getting him this week. I'm leaving for MotoGP on Friday the 27th, hopefully I'll have The Dude before then.

Snake · August 22nd, 2010, 07:05 PM

The Dude will have a good time. He loves bikes.

Dano · August 22nd, 2010, 07:28 PM

so who has the dude right now???

Snake · August 22nd, 2010, 07:45 PM

He is in transit heading toward rceezy.

Cuongism · August 22nd, 2010, 08:07 PM

Wow, just read this whole thread and such an awesome idea. I'm in San Diego if he wants to swing by here (I can ride up to OC to pick/drop off to another member if he stays west coast).
SD has amazing sunsets and I'm an annual member of all the attractions here (seaworld, safari, zoo, etc).

Snake · August 22nd, 2010, 08:13 PM

Great pic. If you have any more like that you may want to post them here:

rceezy · August 25th, 2010, 01:58 PM

Guess who showed up today! We will be heading out to Indy Friday afternoon. I can't wait for The Dude to meet some famous racers. See you guys in a few days!

tabogon · August 25th, 2010, 06:41 PM

Glad to hear he made it ok, hope you all have fun. I am pretty sure I am behind on my blog by quite a bit, but I will update it soon and get back on track with it.

Dano · August 30th, 2010, 08:19 PM

Cool, Glad the dude is back online finally. Can't wait to see new pictures.

rceezy · August 31st, 2010, 05:54 AM

The Dude had a great time. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have hoped but here are a few that I snagged.

He's definitely a Rossi fan! The Dude and his mornin' jo.

The Dude arrives to the track @ 7:30AM, Saturday

The Dude and I

The Dude and my boyfriend

Checking out the schedule! Can't wait to see the Yamaha riders' chat!

The closest we could get him on a race bike, lol. :]

Hanging out!

Morning practices

The Dude and I at our last breakfast in Indy.

RACE DAY!

Sorry for not having too many pictures! I am doing a track day this Sunday so I was hoping that I could keep him til then? And ship him off Tuesday Sept 7th to the next location?

Alex · August 31st, 2010, 08:53 PM

tabogon · August 31st, 2010, 09:15 PM

I need to work the schedule around again, though we would be able to get all of the west coasters done before the GP but I was wrong. He will make it back there again for CRX and Snake's turns, but we can knock a few out on his way over there. Since GFortune is very close I think it would be best to send him there next.

Gfortunes · August 31st, 2010, 09:45 PM

Ok RC we need to meet up some time when you are ready and do a hand off send me a message and let me know.

Snake · September 1st, 2010, 07:18 AM

Great pics RC.

Snake · September 6th, 2010, 03:32 PM

Where is he off to next?
