SoCal ride 2008!! May 2nd, 3rd & 4th
- Thread starter Charlesbusa
- Start date
Sounds great Scar!!
But lets just plan a break at Stage Stop Market. Introduce everyone before we hit the first serious twisty going up Palomar
Wait, you're saying stagecoach. Is that a different place than Stage Stop Market just below Palomar??
Yeah...true story...pull over at the first sign of "Stage" and "Deli". I was probably distracted when Lamb and I talked about it...so sorry for any confusion.
I agree that we should take a minute to shake hands/catch up a bit, but Lamb's idea was to hit it & git it.

Another great ride today. Sorry I had to bail out after Big Bear. Had to pick-up my son. Thanks for arranging this Charles. Count me in every year. Thanks also to Rdkill and the missus for accommodating us. Thanks also to all you guys who attended today. You're all bunch of great guys. Next time there's a local ride be sure to count me in.

easier to provide links rather than resize the darn things.
Was great ride, Man can these guys fly! Saturday I was the proud owner of the back of the pac but still pushed the envelope, Built some confidence. The guys ahead of me where like watching sincronzed racing. They where freaking awesum.

Went for an abbrievated ride (minus the Crest). Awesome day. Felt super good and the pace wasn't hysterical. Basically just cruising except did some intentional knee dragging along the way. Hadn't been on a ride like this since the 2006 SoCal ride. But it sure felt good to be on the bike and street riding again as I spent most of last year track riding exclusively. I removed the race bodywork and put the street plastics + lights back on. Still had the slicks though. I didn't realize I had such awesome twisty roads in my backyard. Thanx to Charles for organizing this ride and finding all these sweet roads. Now I found my practice site for upcoming trackdays.
Anyways, it was great seeing all my bros-Charles, Rich (fresh from Deals Gap and still yet to ride another 400+miles back to NorCal--Santa Clara), Vinny, Brian (Lamb), as well as meeting new faces along the way...Scar (absolutely cool dude and sweet 08), KoKLOL, Red05, RdKill, James with a "Z"
(great rider-didn't realize he was the one on my exhaust pipe when I was tailing Lamb and Charlesbusa on the 138 just before the I-15. There was a guy on an R1 but I didn't get his name and I think he eventually broke from the group due to a busted right fork seal.
I don't have pics b/c I was pretty sure someone else would take the pics. Anyhow, all in all, a great ride.

Final reading on the trip gauge 503.4 miles!!!!! But I was commuting from Beaumont.
We got to see one of these at the rock shop:

Some other things I learned on this ride were:
- There are many great roads in the SM mountains that I need to go explore more often.
- That a Busa can perform off-road just as well as it performs on-road given the right tires (well, almost).
- I learned what a Peksi is (What, I never knew before).
So once again thanks to everyone the ride today. I had a great time and am looking forward to the next one.
