TO ANYONE IN SOCAL***************

*ride2wheel4life* · 01-14-2007, 11:11 PM

anyone wanna go riding? let me know.. i am looking for some people to go riding with, i have a group of 5 already, but the more the merrier...

Latebraking · 01-15-2007, 1:36 AM

More than three is too many. "More the merrier " only applies to toy runs, as far as I'm concerned. The cops stare down just ONE sportbike that cruises by. A group of 5 virtually guarantees at least a roadside conversation and equipment check from the local constabulary.

That aint true, we ride all the time by north shore and they shined there light on my liscense plate and then i moved over and he just took off, and not 2 minutes before we were easily doing 120-130 down the strip thats why he pulled out after us, and we fly down the 5 and the 125 and we never have any problems.... knock on wood..... but if you ever wanna come riding let me know maybe we can just go with 2 or 3. just lookin for some new riding buddies.

I'm obviously older than you are, no offense . My days of triple digits on public roads are long over. Trackdays are too plentiful and accessible for me (or anyone) to do that now. Take it to the track and work on the skills that will help you ride more safely (not necessarily faster) on the street.

The weather here at the moment is absolutely s***!
Rain, wind, cold and more rain

Between the months of May to August are the sunniest and there are all types of roads to ride on........if you like I can suggest or guide you to some mad mountainous roads with loadsa nice bends and humpback bridges and where it results in the edge of your tyres becoming more worn than the middle!!

*ride2wheel4life* · 01-15-2007, 10:32 AM

well when i go there for a week, there is no way i can bring my blade. So the next question is, do they have rentals!? haha

With a full bike license you can rent any bike you want here or I could rent you out my beloved blade for a nice price ........can you be trusted to ride safely

*ride2wheel4life* · 01-15-2007, 10:44 AM

thank you for the offer, i know i wouldn't lend my baby out, but thats just me, a little background info--i have been ridig for 3 years and i have one ticket for not having my information on me(long story) and one accident ever, we all know when that was.....the first week of ever riding...lol. but i need to find out when i am coming,

Sure no probs........................when I meant at a 'nice price', I meant that I would benefit kindly from it

.......just kidding!
I've a good friend here that would rent you a bike for the week, he's got a decent range of stuff too.....Hondas, Suzuki's and Dukes.....
I've had a few falls too,not in my 1st week but over the years, all from showing off or just experimenting...'what would happen if'.......worst injury.......broke my neck...ooops........aaah well we all learn by our mistakes!
P.S. When you mean you need to find out when you are coming...is that just like hmmmm personal stuff or do you mean when you are visiting!!

*ride2wheel4life* · 01-15-2007, 11:09 AM

i knew what you ment, but what are you suggesting?...lol. I can't ride yours? i have almost lost it a few times, most of them due to the stupid idiots that drive 4 wheels almost hitting me. But there have been some close calls with indo's, and some burnouts(that one hurt, but i didn't fall). no its not personal, i just don't know when i am coming out there. i will be over there in that area starting in april. but its not my call if we stop or not.

Macattack · 01-15-2007, 11:17 AM

Yeh sure you can have a go on my bike, but if you crash it make sure you die there and then or I'll be killing you myself!!

Where abouts will you be stopping off at in Ireland?

*ride2wheel4life* · 01-15-2007, 11:22 AM

i have no clue yet...

all i know is that i wanna go see all the sites on a motorcycle out there, i hear its really nice out there, my uncle was out there along time ago. do you have a picture of your bike?

*ride2wheel4life* · 01-15-2007, 11:35 AM

i think we are going to stop of at dublin or limerick, where are you at?

I cover lots of miles, about 40k a year, on a sportbike, currently a 2006 GSX-R750. I also do several trackdays with my street bike and race my 125GP bike. I just don't ride in a manner that gets me pulled over every two minutes or gets helicopters following me.

In 12yrs mate, I've only been done for speeding once..........maybe its 'cos I'm a girl with pure skill!

Dave213 · 01-16-2007, 3:03 PM

mmm.. girls on bikes... thats hotttt..... as for the cops, they took off when we exited the freeway. It was more traffic control than anything else (VERY easy to block the flow of traffic with that many riders). City of Industry Frisco's bike night WAS the biggest/ best Socal bike night east of the 605 on the 10 fwy.... until some asshat decided to wheelie right into a light pole in the parking lot a few months ago. Don't get me wrong, i love wheelies. I'm right in the front at the stunt spot. But not at a crowded gathering like that that. I heard some small groups still go there, but nothing like b4. Been meaning to check out Huntington Beach bike night and Pasadena bike night. Where in Socal r u?

You probably would not be able to boast about that kind driving record over here in the "Land of The Free" ahem.... Heavy sarcasm, just in case it got lost in the text.... Ireland & New Zealand are a couple places I's like to check out on two wheels. A childhood friend of mine keeps going back to N.Z. on a bike, must be a reason.

I'd recommend going to N.Z. before coming to Ireland.....far better weather, roads and scenary......no spiders or snakes in Ireland though just loadsa beer and mad bikers

Dave213 · 01-16-2007, 9:19 PM

I want to move to socal so bad. I visited L.A. this summer and fell in love with California. We stayed in seal beach for our stay, I couldn't get over the weather, beautiful scenary, and the fact that their was always something to do. I don't want to steal the thread but where in SoCal is the best place to live?
