Dinner Ride
 

Saturday Nov 5, 2005
Destination: Backwoods Inn Restaurant at 17846 Sierra Highway, Canyon Country.  
Bill Hayward was there along with Dal & Gwenn,  Jim & Jackie,  John & Linda,  Fred & Marlene and Ray & Susan.  It is a sawdust on the floor kind of a place.  Dal said his Prime Rib was undercooked.  Fred liked the place
 

Our illustrious president left the report at home.  The values were added later and the subject was tabled.
 

It appears Bill has had his knee surgery and is still hospitalized and recuperating.  Best wishes and a fast recovery is offered and hoped for by all members and friends of the California Fours.
 

Sunday, Nov 20 at Crazy Otto's Diner 33317 Santiago Road Acton, CA 93510
The ride consisted of about 103 miles.  Riding out there were Fred,  John Kinney,  Robert & Carolyn with Bill Hayward.   They met up in Sand Canyon for breakfast and then went out to Acton for the ride.  After signing in they received a map (like a poker run).  the ride went up over the mountains to Palmdale and back again.  About 103 miles.   At the end,  each rider selected a number from a hat and the highest number wins a prize.  No one from the group won anything...
 

Jacques had his leaking front fork on his GL1800 fixed. His 2001 bike has about 80,000 miles on it.  The fix cost about $400.00.  He pointed out that the extended warranty does not cover leaking seals. 

 

Yearly Dues

It is now time to pay up for the dues of 2006.  Members are responsible for the $24.00 and Friends pony up just half that at $12.00.
 

Gwenn asked anyone willing to help setting up for the party to arrive at 1:00pm with the remainder to arrive at 2:00pm for the party with dinner to start at 5:00pm.  A reminder is that the shared gifts should be kept under $20.00.

Dal & Gwenn went to Palm Springs for an auto auction.  They spent three days with Jacques and Matilde.  Dal found out he is out classed for the prices there.  A 1958 Buick Roadmaster convertible that has a High Book of  about $50,000 that went for $93,000. 
 

Matilde was talking with Karin Bowers and found that she and Don would like to attend the Christmas Party.  Jacques reminded us that Don is not a paid up member and suggested that Don receive an honorary lifetime membership from the club members.  After a short discussion Jacques Lefebvre made the motion to award an Honorary Lifetime Membership to Don Bowers.  Bill Vest Second.  A vote was taken which passed.

It was then decided the award would be made as a surprise at the Christmas Party.  All members are admonished not to divulge the planned award until that time.
 

During the above discussion it was proposed that we give Dal an Ornery Award.  Although many were in agreement there was no second.
