Sweet Saturday morning ride

[Wavex]

mostro, Cali_Rider and myself did a nice little loop...

from:Orangethorpe Ave to:Foothill Blvd to:Big Tujunga Canyon Rd to:Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Rd to:Aliso Canyon Rd to:Soledad Canyon Rd to:Sand Canyon Rd to:Forest Rte-3N17/Santa Clara Truck Trail to:Little Tujunga Canyon Rd to:Osborne St to:I-210 E t


Here are some pics of the view we had from the top... you can tell California's been on fire lately (sorry for the crappy cellphone pics):

Same spot a few weeks ago:

 

[LERecords]

those roads look like they could use some repaving... but otherwise great pictures.. love the over the vally looks

 

[tuningfork]

cool pics, but man that air looks rancid

 

[Tremulant]

Yikes, that's some nasty air out there (more than usual for California anyways :thumbup I hope your house is safe from those fires!

 

[DefyInertia]

Very cool - I want to ride that road. I have a new love for goaty roads (like the one you pictured) after this weekend....makes me want a dual sport more than ever.

Air was clear up in NorCal


I had to stand up dirt bike style in order to save my back and keep up with my friend on his Vstrom....sat down for the tight-high-lean turns....my legs are soar today!

This is just a fire road we took for 5 miles to get up to the top of the mountain... lots of potholes and gravel indeed The regular roads up there are amazing though...

My house is far far away from the fires thanks! The fires are mostly happening around Santa Barbara (2h north of LA), where a few dozen homes were burnt down, and thousands of people evacuated... I hear that they have most of it contained now...

Awesome pics Nate thanks for sharing!

Why did you put the fairing back on? Tired of the nakedness?

 

[mostro]

Hi guys, just wanted to throw my pics in too. I've been riding with Wavex and Cali Rider for a while now and finally joined up here. I used to own an FZ6 a while back.

 

[mostro]

and a few more

 

[Wavex]

Dude, your phone takes much better pics than mine! :Flip:

Glad you finally joined this forum :rockon:

 

[MarinaFazer]

looks great! Wish I could join you on those roads...they're nice!

Not to be annoying, but since I can lane split legally, traffic like that actually strikes me as an exciting challenge. There is something about splitting traffic as safely and efficiently as possible that I enjoy…maybe it’s the challenge…maybe I’m just a tool.

I put it back on a month or so ago. At 6’3” the wind on my chest was just too much at 60/65+ and I wanted the rain protection and the benefit of the stock headlights. I definitely liked the naked look better but….

My Vrod headlight has been listed in the FS section for some time now with no bites.

Well, go my pics from Saturday uploaded....no sense in creating another thread (hope you don't mind, Wavex).
