I'm coming to Cali this weekend. Who's coming with me?

Well, this will be my last ride for a while, because of Korea. I figured I'd hit up the famous Cali canyons. The one it's gonna be is Idyll Wild. Who's the host? None other than Chappy. He lives around there, so he'll show us the good stuff. http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p244/MotoVegas/Route%20Maps/Banning-Idyllwild-MountainCenter.gif Also, Cloner is probably gonna make it. Anybody else like to participate? I anticipate a noonish arrival to Chappy's neighborhood. We're leaving Vegas around 0800. I've told the girl, and caught an earful, but I'm still going. Who, in the SoCal area, would like to tag along?

Man that would be awesome. I'd have to leave now to meet you Saturday.

Who, in the SoCal area, would like to tag along? Are you taking I-15? There are some places where the flow of traffic is 100MPH. Or at least there used to be when I grew up there.

ya me too....bike still in parts.....painting and parts are supposed to be tomorrow....so lets see....carry the 3...plus milage...plus gas.....ok...and drive time..... I could be there monday...:wink:

Yeah, the 15, for the begining. I was in Cali on monday and it was a bitch. but lane splitting is legal! And Chappy, I think the switchbacks you were talking about will be possible too. They're right there!

I wish... I'd have to leave... last saturday to meet you this saturday... and my bikes still in hibernation... :cursin: I'll catch ya when you get back though... (I've got a package in to OSI for crosstraining)

And Chappy, I think the switchbacks you were talking about will be possible too. They're right there! Most cages take those switchbacks at about 30mph. Going down is only 1 lane which is ok, going up from Hemet, is 2 lanes & ummm...er...aa....little faster than 30 :wink: Should be a GREAT day for a ride through the ruins on the north side! If you plan on coming bring your cameras :dthumb: Speaking of that.........Dlit, we'll have an opportunity to take that pic of us wheel to wheel, black & white, good & evil (as it were), doin burn a out :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

I've located a Pilot Race take-off. $75 max. I think I'll swap it out with my tax money.

Looks great... becarefull! Beyond that... What's the milage on this journey?

:here: yo i'll go but need some time to give notice to work that I'll be out..yo when, where and what times you planing to meet!?!?!?!:idk: :willy: I anticipate a noonish arrival at the 243 exit, off of 10E. That's al I can say. Hit it for a few hours and head home happy. I proly won't get back to Vegas until 6-7 at night. Long day, but fu8k it. So do what you have to do to get your ass out there, R61ST.

Looks great... becarefull! Beyond that... What's the milage on this journey? For me, proly around 6-700.

:here: yo i'll go but need some time to give notice to work that I'll be out..yo when, where and what times you planing to meet!?!?!?!:idk: :willy: You can meet up with me if you like. If Dlit is leaving Vegas around 8am he should be here about 11:30-12noon this SAT 2-24-07. I'm located just east of the 215/60 interchange. If anyone else would like to meet up, be at the STARBUCKS by the AM PM gas station in the map no later than 11:20am http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e241/Chappy_GT/map_02.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e241/Chappy_GT/map_03.jpg Looks great... becarefull!

whats it like up in tiffin drewp? not gettin the same sunshine as us?

Cloner, chime in! So it's Chappy, R6 and me so far. Anybody else? I called a friend of mine, Big Dawg, he & a few others may join us. Dawg is on a cruiser, doesn't mind being anchor. On our way back, from Hemet to Idyll Wild, we can stop for a bite to eat. I've been to one place called JC's Red Kettle. Great home-made grub. There's another place across the street (not sure what it's called) that has outdoor seating & 55 gallon drum BBQ's. Always smells awesome going through there on a weekend around noon! :cheers: Is there a link to this thread in "Off Topic" or "General Riding"? The more people the better :dthumb:

Sounds great! Take lots of pics! :iagree: Better be an arsenal of pics from you knuckleheads.

kickstands up at 0800 :) im commin down friday night any one check the weather for this trip? friday here is supposed to snow :(

kickstands up at 0800 :) im commin down friday night any one check the weather for this trip? friday here is supposed to snow :( Weather should be good, looking at the forecast. Definately a little chilly in the morning, so layer up. I'll be wearing my 1-peice, with some layers underneath it. Neck protection is a good idea, so your neck doesn't freeze off.

just windy....:idk:

There's a strom tonight. Chappy's gonna go through there tomorrow to make sure everything is good.

whats it like up in tiffin drewp? not gettin the same sunshine as us? im getting plenty of sunshine, but the damn bike is in kettering and is in need of a oil change before i let her run again:idk: and we still have ridiculus amounts of snow and salt on the roads

Here's a little sample of route 74, which intersects with 243. I suggest you get napkins to wipe the drool off. http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p244/MotoVegas/Route%20Maps/Hwy74-3.jpg

There is a nice road called Glendora Mountain Road that would be worth checking out. Im sure Chappy knows it.

How far west do you plan on going? There is a nice road called Glendora Mountain Road that would be worth checking out. Im sure Chappy knows it. Just the 243 and 74 proly. There's a storm coming tonight and is expected to stop Friday morning. Chappy's gonna sweep through Friday afternoon to make sure it's still rideable in the mountains.

we are supposed to get that storm, friday so i may have to trailer my bike to vegas or somthing 0_o if it's raining ill ride it.. but it's snowing ill trailer it.

:thx1: The storm might fu*k with our plans though. Have hope! :cheers:

Have hope! :cheers: Trying. :dthumb:

How far west do you plan on going? There is a nice road called Glendora Mountain Road that would be worth checking out. Im sure Chappy knows it. Yea, that's the Mt. Baldy loop, right? Been on it once to go skiing. Great canyon. After this ride, I'd like to organize another for the Rock Store (www.rock-store.com), Mt. Baldy loop, Big Bear, maybe Ortega hwy......just a summer filled with awsome rides :dthumb:

If the storm messes it up on top.........we still have options. I doubt the snow will fall on Mulhulland, we can ride that picture you posted (some friends of mine call that stretch "Magic Mountain"), or we could rip up the meat of either end of the I.W. ride :wink:

Its splits and you can either head up to Baldy or if you go the other way you will end up in Azuza Canyon. Both are great roads.

May I suggest passing on Idyllwild, suppose to Rain Friday, will make for Dirty and wet roads Saturday going up to Idyllwild, I would go to Hemet take Pines to palms hwy to Palm Desert and back to hwy 371 S and take to roads there to mount Palomar have dinner at El Rey's pauma valley get back on the 15 head home... unless you want to stay until Sunday, I'm going to Angeles Crest Hwy for breakfast at Newcombs Ranch...

Jay, I'll be driving through tomarrow to check it out. I'll post the results. YZFR61ST, I know the po po like to hang out at Ortega. It's a great ride, but you have to grow Doppler radar. Almost anytime & anywhere I'm up for a ride. We'll get something going soon. I always have fun. :dthumb: :cheers:

Are we talking about Saturday 24 FEB 07? If yes, then who wants to go where? I'm definitely game. It's raining on Friday but Saturday should be clean at most places. I can dig Mount Baldy because it's not too far from my house, but I'd go anywhere.

Cool, we'll meet at the AMPM store/Starbuck at Moreno Valley around 1130 AM on Saturday 24 FEB 07. I'll bring a camera.

Cool, guys. Chappy, anyway you can take an early evening run to make sure the roads are OK? I mean like clean enough to drag a knee, if I wanted to, and I proly will. I just don't wanna waste the gas and sh*t to be disappointed when I get there. Cloner, what do you plan on doing on Friday? Trucking or riding down?

i will know after work, if it's clear driving.. if there's snow.. ill trailer it.. but i don't like leaving my blazer in lv, i got a $2,000.00 system in it :( so i might trailer it to st george and ride from there, secne they don't get snow.

Ya'll are having a mini TWF rally.:cheers:

D...............has it had it's aneurism yet? MEDIC!!!!! :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u58/DLITALIEN/gifs/ipodboim.gif

I've already got 4inches of snow on the ground and it's only 8am :( trailering im guessing. derek, you got a phone # i can get ahold of you when i get in to vegas to find your house, because im gona trailer it all the way

Weather forecast for Idyllwild: Sunny 5-10 MPH wind high 54-F So, that means it's going to be slightly chilly. Wear your longjohns. And hope that any wet surfaces would melt by noon.:yikes:

:scratch: I love you southerners... 54 is perfect riding weather... it isn't chilly at all... Chilly is 38F. :seeya: Have fun, post pics.

Well......8 miles into the 243 from the 10fwy chains are required. So going that way is out. The way I see it, we have 2 choices: 1: We can take the 10fwy to Palm Desert to go to "Magic Mountain" (the red 'X' on the map.) 2: We can brave through some possible wet roads & take the Pines to Palms Hwy (74) from Hemet to "Magic Mountain". http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e241/Chappy_GT/map_a1.jpg MAGIC MOUNTAIN: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p244/MotoVegas/Route%20Maps/Hwy74-3.jpg Once we get there, we can straighten the corners out for as long as we can hold on :cheers:

58 = chilly? you guys nuts? riding in cedar it's like 32 - 37 degrees.. <-thats chilly

So, we still meet at Moreno Valley? Let's meet there still and figure out where to go.

So, we still meet at Moreno Valley? Let's meet there still and figure out where to go. Yea, we'll still meet at the Starbuck's (2nd driveway on the right from the off-ramp). Wheels may not roll at 11:30, but still try to be there around then. Dlit's going to call me in a lil bit & I'll square everything up with him. From Starbucks, it'll take about 30mins to get to the bottom of the mountain in Hemet. There is a filling station there, we can top off should we go that route. I'd prefer this route (the good twisties are at the ends of the canyon anyway, the Hemet side provides plenty of opportunities to scratch up your knee pucks :wink: ). At the end is Magic Mountain, hours of fun if we like. :dthumb:

58 = chilly? you guys nuts? riding in cedar it's like 32 - 37 degrees.. <-thats chilly Only once (& never again :nonod: ) have been in freezing temps. When I lived in Montana, I had to ride my Tiller home from the shop. It was already there for 3 1/2 weeks waiting for a day to bring it home. It was clear one day & the roads were finally free of ice (lottsa gravel though). I bundled up & rode home. It was about 10 degrees. :yikes: I had to wear ski gloves (my hands still froze) that didn't really want to stretch enough to reach the clutch. It was horrible. The only other time I rode in freezing temps was at the track last Dec. 29 degrees for the first round......rofl.....my hands were killing me. :spam: :spam: :spam:

Just off the phone with D.........he's ready. We'll take Gillman Springs Rd. to Hemet & go from there. See ya in the a.m. :dthumb: Jay........ u gonna make it? :scratch: :tt: :tt: :tt:

OK, well it looks like just me a Cloner are heading out from Vegas. All the other guys bitched out. I will call you in the AM, Chappy.

Yup I'll be there, sorry I've got to go to the beginning of this thread and see if you put an address for the Starbucks in MV... be right back... Ok I got the info... I'm going to try to leave my house in Victorville at 10:40, maybe I'll run into DLIT on my way to MV...

Ok I got the info... I'm going to try to leave my house in Victorville at 10:40, maybe I'll run into DLIT on my way to MV... Right on :dthumb: bring your camera! :wink: :cheers:

I can't find my tank cam mount. I'm in the midle of moving. I also can't find Cloner. He was suppose to call me when he arrived in Vegas, and never did. :idk: I'm hopping in the shower now and will be leaving soon. I told Fooey to call me and I will call hm in Baker to meet up with him in Victorville.

I hope Cloner's ok. I have a mount that might work. I'll stuff it into my bag. :bluemc: :mc2: :mc1: :mc3:

Hope the ride is goin well guys. You guys should be meeting right about now.

Hope the ride is goin well guys. You guys should be meeting right about now. :dthumb: lookin foward to some pics.:cheers:

omfg, it was freezing, we stopped in mesquite, then in valley of fire to warm up.. and i lost my sell phone! i was at a gas station by the speedway at 8, but i didn't see any one :'( so i drive around the speed way for a bit then went back and still no one :( im really sorry derek. i lost it some where and i can't find it! when you tryed to call, did any one answer? arg im so pissed! i should have got your address before hand.

678 miles later, I'm finaly home. Majic Mountain was awesome. Good to meet you guys. Since my dumb ass left my memory card at home, I don't have many pics. I'll upload what I do have later.

I'm new to this site. I happened to be at the right time and the right place when I saw Chappy and the group gassing up. They were kind enough to let me tag along for the ride. :thx1: I recently moved in the area (San Jacinto). It was an awesome ride. Can't wait to see the pictures.

I had an awesome ride today with everyone! Chappy, great to finally meet you, you rode a great pace, thanks for leading... DLIT, Bro you've got to have one heck of a sore butt now.. lol I can't believe you rode all the way out here just to ride on some of Southern California's finest roads... Be Safe in Korea and hurry back!

Be Safe in Korea and hurry back! It's not too bad. That shows you how much I love to ride. I just wish i HAD MORE TIME OUT THERE. I was just starting to get use to it...Bad ass road!

Other than the heavy cager traffic, it was a good ride. It was a good send-off for DLIT. It was great meeting everybody and I think that we've enlisted a new member today as well.:cheers: I'll post some pics on Monday because my laptop is at work and I'm at an internet cafe that won't let me upload pics from my camera.

dude, this is why i love twf :twfrox: a chance to learn new places, a chance to ride with new ppl, what can you ask for, besides more miles with more ppl :dthumb:

Well, the ride turned out better than I thought it would. I expected snow & a whole lotta gravel! Thankfully there wasn't any snow & a little bit of gravel on the way up the Hemet side of the mountain. FnFalman & I met up at 11am & talked for a while til 11:30 when Jay Fooey, Dlit & his friend Josh rolled up. (Sorry we missed you Cloner & YZFR61ST) We rode to Hemet & stopped at the Shell station at the bottom of the hill. While we filled up, we met another guy on a 2004 (I think) Interceptor 1000. Chatted with him for a bit & invited him to join us. :dthumb: He stayed with us for the whole ride. He knows of TWF, so we expect to see him here soon. (I don't want to list his real name as he might not want it known :sorry: ) The ride up the hill was decent. By the time we reached the switch backs, we had to contend with some gravel. From there we made our way to the Palm Desert side of the 74. Kept a steady pace & enjoyed the scenery (I may want to buy some property there some day, it's that scenic). We reached the top of "Magic Mountain" & pulled over to take a look at what we were going to straighten out in the moments to come. Quite a few folks there. Even some vendors of home-made jewelry & trinkets. When we walked to the edge, Josh (I think) had said, "Take a look at THAT view", :lol: He was reffering to a young hottie having her picture taken by her parents. I believe they were here from Russia, had a pretty heavy accent. As the fellas stepped to the edge to take in the view, I decided to go back to my bike to grab my cam & a smoke. When I got close to the bike I saw that same girl grabbing my handle bars & posing for a picture. I thought, "hhhmmm should I be mad or should I see this as innocence?". I thought the ladder & as I approched them, they quickly apologized & stepped away from the bike. I reassured them & removed my tank bag, gloves, & helmet & helped her on the bike for her photo. Nice family, I'm sure Dlit & the others may elaborate on the girl posing. :lol: :drool: So, we saddled up & headed down the hill. Jay, Dlit, Josh, FnFalman.......hats off :dthumb: you guys jam!! :cheers: :cheers: We went up & down a few times, but had to cut it kinda short because of time. Like Dlit said, he was just getting to know the corners, & yes........the man knows how to ride! Anyway.........here are a few pics, I have some video, but I'm so dang tired (it's 1:45am) it's going to have to wait til tomarrow. Jay Fooey, Dlit, FnFalman, Josh, & "the new guy"...... Had a blast!!!! I look forward to the next "West Coast" ride :dthumb: :cheers: :dthumb: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e241/Chappy_GT/2_24_07_a.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e241/Chappy_GT/2_24_07_b.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e241/Chappy_GT/2_24_07_c.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e241/Chappy_GT/2_24_07_d.jpg 678 miles later, I'm finaly home. Majic Mountain was awesome. Good to meet you guys. Since my dumb ass left my memory card at home, I don't have many pics. I'll upload what I do have later. Glad you made it home safely. I had an awesome ride today with everyone! Chappy, great to finally meet you, you rode a great pace, thanks for leading... Dlit......Be Safe in Korea and hurry back! :thx1: Jay. Indeed D........be safe & hurry back. Other than the heavy cager traffic, it was a good ride. It was a good send-off for DLIT. It was great meeting everybody and I think that we've enlisted a new member today as well.:cheers: I'll post some pics on Monday because my laptop is at work and I'm at an internet cafe that won't let me upload pics from my camera. :iagree: & hopefully the "new guy" will be here soon. I have his #, I'll call him sometime soon. dude, this is why i love twf :twfrox: a chance to learn new places, a chance to ride with new ppl, what can you ask for, besides more miles with more ppl :dthumb: Oh YEA!!!!!

I'm new to this site. I happened to be at the right time and the right place when I saw Chappy and the group gassing up. They were kind enough to let me tag along for the ride. :thx1: I recently moved in the area (San Jacinto). It was an awesome ride. Can't wait to see the pictures. :welcome: :cheers: Good pics! Hope to see more soon.:dthumb:

Man, that road is so sick! It's like a damn track. And the 74 was real nice too. Real technical at some spots. When I come back, in September, for the 30 days, if I can't get on the track, I'm definately heading out there again. Chappy, you know there's some other guys heading out to SoCal next weekend? Yup. All the details are on 702sportbikes.com, in the planned rides and meetings section.

If you're looking to hit up some hardcore twisties, check out highway 74 in palm springs. It starts there and goes all the way to I-15. I haven't rode it all the way but I think it takes about an hour and a half. Most of the turns are like 30mph and the other side of the road is a cliff!! It's good stuff. I'm in 29 palms, ca which is like 45 minutes from there so I'd be down to ride, just hit me up.

:cursin: was very nice on sat..:cursin: had to work...some dumb lady has to mess with the drain pipe in her shower and f it all up...when you own duplex that are build in the 70's and 80's is a bit*h...but hey rent is cool cuz is all oh yeah no rent cap...yeah...but had to go under and creat a new line for all four lines and and connect all four drains to a bigger line out and problem fixed..seems like a great time you guy's had...:dthumb: :nonod: I missed out...:nonod:

And let me add that chappy's bike definately deserved bike of the year. Guy painted it himself and it was flawless and smooth as glass.

Thanks for the compliment, Dlit :cheers: If you're looking to hit up some hardcore twisties, check out highway 74 in palm springs. It starts there and goes all the way to I-15.

On the 74 from Hemet to I-15 is city stuff, however.......from Lake Elsinor (just after the 15) "Ortega Hwy" starts (still the 74). It leads to San Juan Capistrano. Good ride, & from what FnFalman was telling me, a lot of it's been repaved. Watch out for the pokey. Chappy, you know there's some other guys heading out to SoCal next weekend? Yup. All the details are on 702sportbikes.com, in the planned rides and meetings section. Sounds good to me. Just got my confirmation email. Looks like they're going to ride the Rock Store & Latigo. When I was 10 we used to take Latigo to the beach. Havn't been on that road since, but from what I remember my step dad's driving scared me to death because of how narrow it was. Now that I'm driving it should be fun :slol:

:nonod: I missed out...:nonod: Many more to come, YZFR61ST. Here's to the next ride :cheers:

Sounds good to me. Just got my confirmation email. Looks like they're going to ride the Rock Store & Latigo. I frequent the SMM (Santa Monica Mountains) before moving to San Jacinto and Latigo canyon is the crash capital of SMM. Very technical. Mulholland (between Kanan Rd and Rock Store) is a nice canyon to play. Or at least that was my view before riding the "Magic Mountain".

Some pics of the ride. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f308/fnfalman/TWF%20Ride/TWFRide010.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f308/fnfalman/TWF%20Ride/TWFRide008.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f308/fnfalman/TWF%20Ride/TWFRide012.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f308/fnfalman/TWF%20Ride/TWFRide015.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f308/fnfalman/TWF%20Ride/TWFRide017.jpg

Great video/pictures Chappy & fnfalman! FYI: What we rode "is" the best of hwy 74 pines to palms (from Palm Desert to I-15) anything west of Hemet isn't as good as what we rode... West of the I-15, hwy 74 is Ortega hwy, that's fun too...

Many more to come, YZFR61ST. Here's to the next ride :cheers: WELL THANX MAN I HOPE SO..:cheers: ... IS JUST WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU OWN PROPERTY AND CAN'T TRUST OTHERS TO GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT....LIKE THEY SAY IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO GET DONE THE RIGHT WAY DO IT YOU'RE SELF...SO I DO....

Nice pics Fnfalman...who's on the motard. That thing rules. I want one.

Some pics of the ride. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f308/fnfalman/TWF%20Ride/TWFRide010.jpg is that the Blue steel again DLit

is that the Blue steel again DLit It's a newer, laid back version of it, yes.

The Motard Man is a 70-years-old who is recovering from a hip replacement. He's what I'd call an OH - Original Hoon. A hooligan back in the days. The other guy is a Harley guy who's not afraid of speeds and curves. His face was all leathered up from the many thousands of miles.

It's a newer, laid back version of it, yes. :lol: with all that soju and a year in Korea you'll have plenty of time to perfect it :lol: so what's happening with you and your girl? you guys getting married?

Looks like you guys had fun. Great view and vantage point for a vid too.:dthumb:

:lol: with all that soju and a year in Korea you'll have plenty of time to perfect it :lol: so what's happening with you and your girl? you guys getting married? Marriage will probably happen on my mid-tour. I want to see how the first six months will go, before I tie the knot. If it goes good, then I will propose.

Translation: I want to see how's the "inventory" at local Mama-san first.:dthumb: I was thinking the same thing. I've been to SE Asia as a single man I know what its all about. :lol:

Nah, I don't intend on f'n around. It's better for me to try the first six months out first. If it goes good, I'll propose. But I would hate to get married, and the time gets to her, and now I gotta get a divorce. F that. Consider it a trial period, I guess. I'm playing it safe. I do believe we can make it though. I'm depending on my 360 to keep me from boozing all the time. I want to use the time to get in shape, pay some sh*t off and study for the next rank. I know I'll booze out every now and then, but I don't want to go crazy. It sucks because my career field (AMMO) is like a force in Korea. The comradory(sp?) is high and it can get hectic. Just gotta stay outta trouble and outta my commanders brain.

Very admirable goals, but I give it maybe two months before you start hitting that slant poon!!!:jacked:

If it goes good, then I will propose. sounds like a smart move to me... that'll be a long time away and a good test for your relationship... especially if your gonna get married. if you can't make it 6 months... then you'd never make it married... especially both being AD... I hope the best...:cheers:
