[Wavex]

Hey Dave, I may be able to join you guys for that one

 

[Motogiro]

It looks like I can make it! Always wanted to check out that area and haven't had a chance and then to be able to do it with a buncha Hoons!?!?! :Flip:
Yeah I'm in!!!:BLAA::rockon:

 

[JAZZ-n-FZ6]

I should be able to go. Just a side note, ACH is suppose to fully open sometime in February. They just opened another 3 miles of it a couple days ago.

 

[PowellB]

I might be ready to ride by then. If I get my valves adjusted and stuff in time I'd like to join y'all.

 

[JAZZ-n-FZ6]

Good luck with the valve adjustment. I did mine this past summer (6 exhaust valves were tight)...it wasn't bad except it took me a few days to get all the shims necessary.

 

[PowellB]

Thanks, sax. Turns out I had my service intervals confused so no need for valves yet, but I just found out my parents will be visiting that weekend so now I might not be able to make it. I'll keep my eye out for the ride details in case I can keep my morning/afternoon free.

Crap! I didn't check my calender and it's my brother's 60th birthday and they're having a bash for him. I can't not be there. I'm still trying to figure out if I can hook up, ride and then bail early back to Laguna Beach.....

 

[smokenu]

Guy's I'll try and get the ride put together in the next few day..

Here's the ride route so far. not sure of the road conditions on HWY 33,so going to ride ACH and BIG PINES road.

Jerry

 

[Gcontroller]

I'd like to tag along. I'll have to hit hwy 33 to see what conditions are like before then.

 

[smokenu]

Jerry

By popular demand, the ride route has changed......

We will be doing a SD ride, Palomar - to Idyllwild - to Banner grade.


Hope some SOCAL Riders can join us..

I hit the 33 last week Dave and it was EPIC...72 degrees with snow on the sides of the road. Coming back down there are a few turns that you need to watch but it it does not rain anytime soon it will be perfect. I cant make it as I will be in Steamboat snowboarding.

Would it be better to hit Banner Grade, cross over Yaqui Pass to Borrego Springs, up Montezooma Valley Road, over to Palomar and then to Idyllwild?

Keep in mind there is still a lot of junk (gravel) all over Idyllwild area. John, Dave and I were up there 2 weeks ago and it started to get dirty as we climbed.

Your route could be 15 frwy to Highland Valley Rd. into Ramona. Take a right on third street to Old Julian Rd. which dumps back out and take you toward Santa Ysabel and up to Julian. Down Banner Grade (78). Hang a left on Yaqui Pass into Borregp Springs. Monty to Pally and so on....

You could ride Mesa Grande but it's was pretty dirty this week.

Here's the route we are thinking about


CA-76 E to CA-74 E/Pines to Palms Hwy - Google Maps

Woohoo! That's a ride! :rockon:

 

[JAZZ-n-FZ6]

Ah man that sucks...I'm out now...it's too far from me now. I don't have that much time to do a long ride and ride an 1 hour and 15 min to get there and then back again.

I too was up in Idy a couple weeks ago also visiting family. I saw a couple FZs...were any of them your guy's?
