Riding in SoCal Friday?

SoCalBlade · 06-07-2006, 1:55 PM

Anyone doing any riding on Friday? I live in the San Diego area and I will be riding around in the hills in the east county.

Too bad I have to work SoCal....... I live in Murrieta/Temecula area. Where are you going to be riding?

Sorry for the late reply. I was planning on going out to Palomar. I like riding out there during the week, less people around.
I usually ride east on the 8, then take the 67 north thru santee and ride around a while.
This week, I had some last minute stuff come up so hopefully I can make up for it this coming week. I havent had the 929 out there yet.

You should check out SPEED's site-

I think there's still some Palomarites on there:

Thanks again Scout. I think I might just stop posting and start PMing you when I have questions.
After reading some of the threads, I think these guys would be a good group to ride around with from time to time. I tend to ride like Im 25 going on 60. I dont like guard rails, cliffs, mailboxes, street signs, or cars exiting driveways so I ride pretty darn slow these days. I still manage to have a blast when I do go out though.

Geeee.....you sound like me. I'm 33 going on 60!!! But....I will admit (cover your eyes Scout) I get into some chases sometimes on the freeways. I'll let a kid on a 1000cc or so pass me and then the chase is on. They have trouble losing me. It's fun but stupid. Like I said (cover your eyes Scout).

No...I don't do that all the time. Like once a month....sometimes I have to show 'em that exprience is better than raw power.

See, I like to pull up to them and say something like...."Hey kid, watching you ride like that reminds me of my first 80mph highside"

Then I ride off wondering how long it will take for him to "get it" (no pun intended)

LOL - Yes - most of the younger guys are that BRAVE or BALSY because they have yet to experience the high speed sting of asphalt and gravel.

When they do -

Took my neighbor up to Hell's Kitchen on Ortega today for lunch for the first time. After that it's clear my riding experience has been mostly freeway and that having **** in your pockets makes for more complicated riding

Ortega is a MAJOR ride. A good ride - but you will be passed at any time and by people who make you look like a pu**y. Tht's why I stay clear of that place!

Hey Scout!! Sorry you had to read that!!!

Scout · 06-12-2006, 8:50 AM

Why, they're not passing me.
