Cali Rider and I did Angeles Crest Highway and Mount Baldy and a bunch of other amazing roads... there was VERY little traffic up there and the weather was unbelievable... one corner after another for 5 hours!!! Pure joy :)

Thanks John... :rockon:

Oh and we passed Jerry a couple of miles after Newcombs going up (you were going down), and I threw my hands in the air but you did not see it :(

we saw 2 new Aprilia RSV4 up there... beautiful bikes, but both of them were on slicks :eek:
 
That was very nice of everyone in California to stay home so you & John could have the road to yourselves!! How sweet.....
 
Man am I jonesing!

Nice pictures! I might borrow my friends Duc. and hit roads this week...:rockon:
 
Perfect weather, awesome landscape, I don't get to see things like this here (lots of swamps!!!!!!)

Thanks for the pictures, interesting to find out the techniques used for the motion pictures
 
Looks like a great ride. I love seeing multiple bikes represented too. Well done.

These 3 pictures were taken in these 3 spots:
Picture locations-Google Maps

An interesting fact about this road: Lone Pine Canyon Road goes directly over the famous San Andreas Fault. This fault WILL one day cause a catastrophic earthquake throughout the Los Angeles area as it has in the past.

Lone Pine Canyon is my favorite way to get to Wrightwood:thumbup:
As for the San Andreas I'll either have beach front property or be the beach, not sure which but I vote for the beach as I live on just the wrong side of the fault:eek:

Thanks for the great pics! It's hard to imagine that I'd be jealous of anywhere else since I'm up here in beautiful NorCal....but I am. I grew up in SoCal and I'm just going to have to make a weekend trip down this summer just so I can go riding with you guys. :BLAA:
 
LOL, never saw your hands go up. I did turn around but figured I never catch you two hooligans:BLAA: so I went on over to Newcombs and then rode ACH back to Wrightwood.:D

Jerry

Sorry Jerry, I was trying to get both you and John's attention, but John didn't hear my weak horn behind him and I didn't think you knew it was us... Next time :rockon:

Looking forward to riding with you again Cliff... any update on the bike?

Thanks for the pictures, interesting to find out the techniques used for the motion pictures

I was using a small Sony Cybershot T10... the "technique" consists of using your left hand (remove glove and sit on it beforehand) to remove camera from jacket inside pocket, flip the front face of the camera down (that's how it turns on), and hold the camera with your left hand's 4 fingers on top of it and the thumb below it, using your index to take the picture (I shoot blind, and keep my eyes on the road at all times). The self shot was a slight variation of that :D

Anytime! :thumbup:
 
Damn guys, you need to call me when you do rides like this. I actually had the weekend off and could have stretched the Triumph's legs with you.:spank:

Glad you guys made it safely and a beautiful day.
