Great ride today with a bonus (Dan Gurney prototype)

[Calpantera]

So I went for a short ride up to this extremely popular spot on Hwy 74 called Hells Kitchen, its 16 miles from my house. Its a cool place if you like a ton of bikes around and a really crowed bunch of twisties.

Its a cool place with a bunch of memorabilia on the walls and the condiment bar is a coffin, its like a reminder to use you head..


When I arrived there was maybe 20-30 bikes but when I left there was about 100. You could not even park, there is another place called the lookout about two miles down the road right above Lake Elsinore and that lot was so crowded with sports bikes I did not even try to turn into it.

But the best thing about the ride was seeing this sick bike next to me at Hells Kitchen and this guy using some wire to on the exhaust hanger. I told him it was bad ass and he said it was a Dan Gurney Alligator prototype that he was testing out on the twisties. The original Gators had a 80 horse motor but this one has a 137 horse/145ft lbs monster S&S that really moved!
He let me sit on it and the riding position was like sitting in a car. He said you can ride all day and still pass up sport bikes at will.


Here is the view from the seat..


Here is some links to full rez pics if anyone wants to look at it in detail..
