We'll ride the 27 miles up to Newcombs Ranch restaurant to ogle the exotica parked out front and maybe eat/drink. BS will occur there...then we can continue up or head back down...

I just did this ride (Angeles Crest) today for the first time. WOW, is all I can say..I didn't go all the way to the restaurant, for time sake, but I went up past Mt. Wilson. For those coming up, I live in North Hollywood, which is literally less than 15 minutes from the start of this ride. I would be ok with opening up my living room, which has two very comfy couches in it (one's a futon), if that would help any one coming up. I rode this morning at around 11ish, and there was hardly any traffic, no cops, and a fair amount of bikes. I had a smile on my face the whole way. EXCELLENT, I can't wait to go up again!

How fast were you going for the most part. when I did it i was crusin at 50-55 because i was nervous about the cops but fun anyways especially the top part.

pantablo · August 23, 2004, 04:34:02 PM

I could ride my gs at a steady 65mph in the corners, with bursts (!?) to 75-80. But I liked it best when I kept it at 65 and never slowed down...kept the riders behind me on their toes...

That was about as fast as was comfortable on the gs. On the cbr I do 75+ in the same sections I was at 65 and I dont feel like I'm working at all to be at that speed.

I was cruisin at a pretty steady 60...couple of the hairpins that were really bumpy I slowed for, but for the most part, being able to keep it there was nice...although I've heard the cops up there are brutal..don't give an edge...I was talking to a guy at the Shell station, and he said they'll pull you over for doing 50 in a 45...NUTS

JUST FOR THE RECORD:

We always ride safe. No one is ever encouraged to ride beyond thier skill level.

This is not a race to the top. I've been on several rides with Pablo and others from the board here, and I know we all feel very concerned about other riders. Making sure no one is getting over thier heads (pardon the pun).

The fast riders can enjoy the front as the slower riders can enjoy the rear. There will always be someone waiting and watching the stragglers.

One for all and all for one

Re: Crest run on the 12th.

I am planning on going. Leaving OC around 7:45 or 8:00 AM should be good to be there by 9:00AM. It would be great if anyone else is going from the south to meet and ride up together.

Chimivee mentioned this in an earlier post. I second the motion.

Straight up the 5 fwy to

is best I think.

Trackman114 · August 24, 2004, 08:08:14 PM

I'm leaving Ventura at about 7:30 and should be there by 9:00

pantablo · August 24, 2004, 08:30:13 PM

I think you can take the 5 straight up to the 2 fwy (north of downtown L.A.). take the 2 north to the 210, take it east and ACH is first exit...turn right at end of offramp. shell is immediately on your left-you can see it from the end of the offramp.

Cool, thanks Pablo.

By-the-way... Anyone riding a red bike must buy anyone riding a black bike a coffee. :nana:

pantablo · August 24, 2004, 11:18:57 PM

my bike is almost 50% black...I take my coffee the same way.

Quote from: pantablomy bike is almost 50% black...

So, it's only 50% "the fastest?"

pantablo · August 25, 2004, 09:33:10 AM

red on all the go-fast parts, black on the rest. still the fastest color.

:nana:

I know this post is old, but if you guys are still trying to set up a ride I'd be in. I've only had my GS for about a month, but I'm game. I go to school at Pepperdine, which seems sort of central to all of you. Let me know...

alconsix · October 13, 2004, 01:22:16 PM

I work at Culver City and I've only been riding for a month. I'm still handcuffed by my break-in period (400miles). I'll only go if the last rider is on a scooter.

pantablo · October 13, 2004, 02:46:12 PM

check the meet& greet forum for a ride this friday (slow) and a ride sunday...
