For the streetbikes, you've probably figured out by now this region is a utopian place of motorcycle bliss. Check out the Pashnit Roads site to check out the area roads, main ones, mtn passes, and surrounding paved goat trails.

Nearby Roads are Hwy 88 - Carson Pass, North-South Rd, Hwy 4 - Ebbetts Pass, Monitor Pass and even Lake Tahoe is not far away.

CAMPERS & TENTERS: Lots of room for tents in a football-field sized grassy area.

Our host property has room for large RV's, FunMovers, Camping trailers and other assorted large vehicles. There are probably 20-30 camping spaces. If you plan to camp, trailer up your dirtbikes/quads, or use up a camping space, please contribute an extra $10 to the owner for allowing this event on his private property.

Not a camper you say?

Lodging near Pioneer, CA - Booking a room.. Details...

The closest bastion of civilization is Pioneer along Highway 88. Pioneer, CA = 16 miles NE of Jackson

Our Host Lodging:Pioneer Lodge, (24 rooms) 24144 Highway 88, Pioneer, (209) 295-3490

Great , marked the date in the calendar. Now I have to persuade my boss ( at work and at home

) to give me off.

David 1 · 04-19-2011, 01:41 PM

I have got to make it work somehow.
I'll try.
It is such an excellent area to ride for days and days. Better yet to live, but I don't know about winter.
I stayed at Pioneer Lodge and I liked it very much.
Sopiago Springs resort is beautiful.
A dirt road out to it, of a few miles (?) but not that bad, even for a total street biker and street bike like me and mine.
And the beauty for me is that going in both directions, up, and back, I have to pass thru' Yosemite Park, on 120, and 41. I suppose July 2 weekend may be crowded. I'll have to try to work the days around the big holiday.
And the weather should be dry and warm. I like warm.

Also, remember this is the Pioneer in Amador County, not Siskiyou County. There are two Pioneers.

Darn, That's our V2V weekend which starts in NY and ends in SF. I'll be working up in Truckee/Kings Beach again so will try to drop by. Gonna have to see what happens with work thru that holiday.

Bandit12 · 04-19-2011, 06:34 PM

Hey! Maybe I will get to ride in for Saturday. Depends on the store schedule, cause we're leaving on vacation on the 5th.

nodaclu · 04-19-2011, 09:01 PM

Will be on my way to Hawaii that day. Not that I'm complaining, but my complete inability to make a gathering for one reason or another is becoming laughable at this point.

Maybe next year!

Bandit12 · 04-20-2011, 06:02 AM

Mike! What happened to the Honda? Just saw your (new?) avatar and only bike listed is a Majesty?

Combination of someone offering me a very fair price for the Honda (I actually sold it for more than I had in it - couldn't turn that down) and this Majesty being offered at a fire sale price. Essentially I moved up 15 model years for $450.

This thing is different....really different. But I kind of like it.

Hey, we have other moto-related stuff here as well...Memorial Day Weekend is a good bet for lots of dirt action and the track in top shape for the events...

...going to Hawaii sounds like it really sux...lmao
