If you would like to come, but don't mind staying nearby, I can recommend some nearby hotels that might have vacancies and would be within walking distance of our hotel.
You would still be able to come hang out with us at night and participate in all the Saturday shenanigans!
PM me if interested.

Scott, that's awesome! You have gone above and beyond! Thank you.
Is there any extracurricular driving planned? I got some intel about Nacimiento Fergusson Rd, and it's calling my name.
You should go, Ryan. You're young and full of energy and curiosity. Most of us are just waiting for happy hour...
Fergusson Road rocks. Roy, Greg and I did the drive a while back on a Sunday. I would start at Hunter Liggett and end at the Coast. Views are spectacular. Take a jacket, inland is warm and it can get really cool when you get to sea level. Enjoy the drive. Going back to the Barcalounger and wait for happy hour.

Don't believe a word of it. I've driven with Terry and ridden in his car-- he likes to drive.
Go for it Ryan, Beware there is no Cell Device and you could encounter some tanks getting ready for the Coup.
...and 1 - Medium shirt for my lovely wife...and I thank you 
Yesterday's land slide between Gorda and Ragged Point has closed off one of the most beautiful stretches of road in the world. It's as if God closed the road just for our enjoyment.
It's not a bug, it's a feature. The 2 most beautiful cul-de-sacs in the world have multiplied to 4 over night!
Below is a screenshot of the 50mi path between road closures. Entry via the epic, aforementioned, Nacimiento-Fergusson Road — about 10mi north of the latest, southernmost, closure.
Imagine driving one of The 1 without being in the middle of an endless train of cars both directions! Once in a lifetime.
I'd appreciate any local intel from our Central Coast friends. And if anyone has one of those drones that follow you and video, this is the perfect time to break it out.

There is hope for a Big Sir cruise after all!!
For anyone interested in a 1/2 day cruise from Paso Robles to Limekiln Park on the outskirts of Big Sir here is a map. I checked with the Forestry Service and Cal-Trans and the road is open to the public through to Hwy 1. Take a lunch, water (Beers), and camera - this is a beautiful drive. Fill up at the San Miguel, CA. Chevron at 10th street. It's a 65 mile, 2 1/2 hour drive through the national forest and over to hwy 1, then up to Limekiln Park. Gorda Springs Resort is open as well. They have gas, lodging, mini mart, and café right on the coast.
You're killing me here.
I've driven 1 in my Speedster, and it was a "bucket list" thinG. The prospect of drinking it not behind an endless train of motorhomes does sound like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This is most excellent for you left coast gentlemen.
This, apparently is the ONLY road into that stretch so it may have a little traffic. Limekiln is where the bridge is out - may be worth a look. We may want to head the opposite direction and hang at Gorda Springs Resort.

Stan, please leave that voice-to-text thingie switched on permanently.
It seems to create some of the most poetic metaphors in all of your writing here.

HA's have been known to go after other motorcycle clubs just for imitating the three rocker design as you have drawn above. I'd avoid using it because an ounce or prevention is better than a pound of cure.
I can't think of a cooler way to die than to be beaten to death by a Hell's Angel.
I vote to keep it.
HMMMMM.....Let's see, give me Speedster Shirt sans HA Looking Rockers or give me (a HORRIBLE HA) Death.....I'm thinkin' gimme the sensible T-Shirt!!!!!

this all rings a bell for me. In 2011 we did our Mega trip in the speedster and got stopped by a landslide near Big Sur. One sharp local lad told us we could get up to the top and get around it by going up the Nacimento / Furgeson highway. Up we went mostly in 2nd gear and finally came out at the summit near Ft. Leggat -Hunter. The GI's were jumping up and down like crazy waving at us. Shyt we said....like they've never seen a Speedster before ? Turn's out it was May 2, 2011.....the demise of Osama Bin Laden.
Maybe we should delete all this and keep it on the down low. 
We don't want every car enthusiast in the world converging on our secret location.
I have a local buddy with a drone looking into filming us on Highway 1 on Saturday - for those adventurous ones living on the edge.
Can I get someone to roughly outline the schedule?
Here's how I understand the schedule from reading this thread:
June 9
Speedsters arriving at Quality Suites San Luis Obispo between 3-7pm.
Teby is buying everyone beer from 5:30-7pm.
June 10
Optional half-day drive to Highway 1 via Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd. 7:30am-1pm
Catered Dinner
June 11
Checkout noon?
Drive home recharged?
Is this close?

Ryan I think the group is doing a back woods Paso Robles wine tasting cruise on Saturday. Can you go on the HWY 1 cruise Sunday morning?

I'm open to any suggestions. But I didn't know anything about wine tasting cruise. Sounds like there's a secret schedule. Do you have the clearance to declassify it?
Ryan here is the discussion thread:

Here's the specs on the Saturday run:
No wonder it was so quiet in here. Thanks @Rusty S. I feel like I'm in the know again.
Unfortunately there were a couple threads going. The other one is the official one.
