SoCal riders hitting this?

It's the same day as the Daytona FX race, and they'll probably be showing it, but this is too close to the Crest & GMR for me not to ride down and make a day of it.

Anyone else?

Conq- just realized what they used for the "flyer-shot".

Though Parts411 is a legitimate business, I have to denounce the use of reckless behavior which may encourage others to act irresponsibly, whether depicted shot is an actual photo, or cartoon type depiction.

What knuckleheads for even entertaining the thought of using this kind of format for advertisement. I'm sure this will hurt their business.

With that said, anyone going?

I refuse to give those assclowns any of my money. They are pretty shady in the way the sell stuff, they have amazing prices to get you interested, then charge you $20-30 to ship it, something that should cost $8.

Actually I was more interested in coming down to ride the Crest and GMR, and the "Free Giveaways" and "T-Shirt Contest" than ordering from them, but that's good to know G-Force.

I either order from a local shop, KneeDraggers, or Ron-Ayers, so I haven't had to deal with their customer service. Maybe I'll catch you out in the canyons that day?

CBR Riding Fool, Speed, RRWantr - I'm looking your way...

Gonna be in the area on that date?

Not sure I'll have a streetbike to ride by then. Also will be preparing for the Buttonwillow track day on March 14.

RRWANTR · 02-13-2005, 2:32 PM

Just remembered, with button willow that monday I need to get my bike trackready, including changing the plastics, getting tires mounted (plus I need to buy some). I need a second bike.

Scout · 03-10-2005, 5:29 AM

bump

The weathers been friggin great lately. Is anybody down to go?

Mojave954 · 03-10-2005, 11:25 AM

Is the crest even open????

Scout · 03-11-2005, 2:27 AM

It's hard to tell. The C-Trans page is infamously f-ed up, so there are no planned closures, except past Newcombs, and I don't know if that' accurate.

No idea when this was updated:

But, I ain't skeered, and don't need much of an excuse to go ride anyway. GMR looks like a safe bet, and I think AFH is open. If anyones been by, post up...

Scout · 03-11-2005, 2:33 AM

Checked this site, and it don't look good-

http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles/cond...ons-road.shtml

According to this AFH, GMR, ACH @ La Canada is a no-go. I'll check at the number provided tomorrow.

Not looking good though

, might go West instead

G-Force Junkie · 03-11-2005, 3:20 AM

Little T is a crap hole, GMR is closed, AFH is good from palmdale to ACH with occational debris. Going up ACH from Shell station to AFH is dirty, take it easy. Otherwise Its open to at least Newcombs. Thats the word onthe street as of the 9th...and the cops are still handingout tickets

Scout · 03-11-2005, 4:37 AM

Thanks for the post.

soooo, you in G-Force? Or take a pass on this one?

Scout · 03-11-2005, 4:40 AM

I'll be at AM/PM Lyons Ave, Valencia @ around 930-945am on Saturday. Got a few riders and a chase car (wife going to some science exhibit in LA), and am meeting? a few riders at Valencia.

G-Force Junkie · 03-11-2005, 4:48 AM

I'll be at work, wave as you pass the truck scales between the 126 and Magic Mountain...its the shop with all the boats in front of it.

Scout · 03-11-2005, 4:56 AM

Sure thing.
