If you missed this ride, you missed the biggest SFBMHA event so far. We had a total of 27 bikes (or was that 28 ) along for some or all of the ride. 18 Monsters, 2 other Ducatis, and a variety of others who we were happy to have along. Please forgive me for not remembering very many names.

There were no casualties. We had one obstinate master cylinder on the "Sparkle Monster", but thanks to a good set of tools on one of the non-Ducatis we were able to get the bike through the whole ride. Out of the four groups, group 3 got lost after the good stuff on Marsh road and took a detour through Stockton. Group 4 found a shortcut to Collier Canyon right at the end, pulling in front of groups 1 and 2. Sorry for those of you in group 2 who were waiting for them to point out the correct turn.
We finished up at In-N-Out in Pleasanton with a few talking about getting some more twisties in on Mines Road or a few other interesting roads in the area. Thanks to those who came in from the central valley to join us.

(Oh, and if you're a female rider with a black Monster with carbon tank protector, send me an e-mail note and I'll send you the photo I took at the initial meeting place.)
Here's a sample photo of your fearless leader at the top of Mt. Diablo.
