I'm heading out on my first real road trip with the bike. Riding out to Malibu to ride the infamous "Snake" tomorrow. Hopefully I won't be the next poster child for a rnickeymouse video. I will be posting pics and vids on my youtube when I get back.

Hope everyone else has a safe and fun weekend.

Sounds great!

Weather in the mid-eastern US is finally warming up (74F by Sunday!) and I rode to work today. Looks like riding daily is about to become reality as the longest winter I remember finally leaves us alone here! :spank:

Have fun, you should hook up with some local forum members while you're there. Don't forget to stop by the famous Neptune Cafe in Malibu.

So we knocked out 430 miles from Scottsdale to Calabassas. The wind was crazy from Indio to Palm Springs. The guy I rode with said he almost low sided and I had a couple sketchy moments. I would say winds were 20+ mph winds.

We got to the hotel safe and got some refreshments to take the soreness out of the body

Awesome day. Rode the infamous "Snake" and did not crash. Thank goodness. I totally understand how people crash there. The road has dirt and gravel in from people pulling in and out. And many of the corners don't look like decreasing radius but are.

I tried to get a ninja pic of rnickeymouse at the back corner of the truck. He was up there at 10 when we got there and I shot this at 430. Dude is dedicated.

We did have one rider go down. He had a likely concussion and was air lifted to ucla. He was just released from the hospital. So all positive thoughts are appreciated

Edit: sorry for upside down pix. I sent from phone.

Glad you're ok and had fun. Sorry to hear another of your group wasn't so lucky.

I have no plan tomorrow morning to afternoon. Need to meet my friend in Newport beach around 7pm.

Is there a ride I can maybe meet you for in between LA and San Diego?

Probably not tomorrow cuz I used up my ride points today but I could do lunch or something like that if you were in our area. :)

Ok Moto. I may be down that way. A guy just said he was going to telegraph hill and I may go with him then turn around and come back to Newport

First video I made: Just some highlights. Riding videos to come later. Too much footage to work through.

p.s. it's winds of 15-40 mph, should I still go ride Ortega Highway
