BryanDH and I went for a ride today. We did our regular tour of Palomar Mountain, Montezuma Valley Rd. into Borrego Springs where we stopped for lunch at a local haunt named Carlee's. Carlee's (a bar and restaurant) is a cool place and I've made friends with some of the staff and we pretty much always have a good time chatting and catching a bite.
We pull in and there were some other bikes pulling in. One was this cool little Triumph Thruxton that had the tail bobbed and looked and sounded really good.
Go over for a look and start talking to the owner. He and I are talking and Bryan looks at him and asks, "What's your name?" He answers, "Riki...Riki Rachtman" Bryan knows him from Headbanger's Ball on MTV! Haha....Then another guy comes over and Bryan recognizes him! Gilby Clark. One of the guitar players from Gun n Roses and other bands. I said cool. So since you guys are famous would you take a picture with us? The feeling I got from them was really cool from the moment we started talking. They said sure! :rockon:
They were headed to some big biker event at Slab City near the Salton Sea.
Bryan and I had a great day riding up and down the mountains in perfect weather and made some new friends!
Riki, Bryan, Cliff and Gilby.
Riki's Red Thruxton. He had a little mishap with his custom tail section. The license plate holder and tail light broke off and he drug his sleeping bag, tearing it up a little. luckily they're in a group of about 10 riders so he can ride in the middle of the group.
