I don't have any pictures, sorry. Looks like others have it covered though. I might have some video put together in a couple of days.
Day 1 was great, riding with Lefty and Tailgate again, and meeting MoeDog. Took a rather nice road, HWY 25 down through Hollister, then slabbed it down on I5 to get to So Cal faster. Other than being boring and having to take an even more boring detour, it was okay. As expected we had to split lanes the last 25 miles or so which is tiring, but hey, it's LA.
Day 2 was as amazing as it was made out to be. We were all on time, which was important given our ambitious route, and the roads did not disappoint. I have two new favorite So Cal roads: Angeles Crest Speedway, I mean Highway, and Little Tujunga Canyon, both for different reasons. ACH is, ah, you have to ride it to know. It's miles and miles of big, predictable sweepers. Very nice. Little Tujunga Canyon is a technical but not goaty road that's a fun little exercise in shifting and braking.
Day 3, we are calling the "after party" LOL. Cali Rider and Racebrookes came out to see us off, and a total of 8 of us ended up riding up HWY 33 together. Got some video of that, it's always a fun road to ride. After those two and VEGASRIDER peeled off, DefyIntertia, Tailgate, Lefty, MoeDog and myself headed north. We hit the 58, which is miles and miles of boring with a couple miles of awesome just for kicks. We also got to experience HWY 229, Rossi's Driveway, which was interesting. I expected a faster road, and it was in parts, but it was mixed with some pretty tight turns too that mess with your groove. It also had some wild undulations that made it really interesting. I think it would be more fun the second or third time around, but we didn't have time. After that I peeled off and did the last part on the freeway by myself.
The best part is all the guys who showed up. Just a great group of guys, and I'm glad to be part of these adventures. Thanks again to all of our So Cal guys who helped make this happen. Cali Rider does the lion's share of the planning and being the group leader, and deserves a medal. Thanks John!
Fun fact: there were no naked FZs this weekend.
