Sat. 6/16 Ride RESULTS

[qqqqqqqman]

Just another thread to end 6/16, as the other threads were pre-ride clusters. I'm sure Devin and other lurkers wonder how it turned out, lol :moon



Well, just nucking futs, IcePick, Larry, and I met at the Chevron @ 5/74....not unexpected, as it was out of the way for the LA riders. We rode Ortega and as we exited the mountain in Lake Elsinore, we ran upon (new face) Reckless, but he couldn't ride longer today.


We assumed the LA crew (Will, Julio, Anthony, and friends) would go PAST the 15/74 to the 15/76 to meet Gonzo, cuz that's what Will said :popcorn. But we decided to stop at the 15/74 anyway in case lurkers/someone was trying to meet up in this MOST NATURAL of spots. After a 10 minute break we were about to suit up and go.....and then HERE THEY COME....Will, Julio, Anthony, and 3 friends!! :lmao.



So, we have 10 riders to go down to Palomar and hopefully meet up with Gonzo and RRnold. We take the 15 Fwy to the 79 Fwy and head towards Palomar....sorry Gonzo, we didn't make it to the 15/76 :blush. The 79Hwy road is a winding country-type in some mild hills and we are just cruising along in a long line. I'm riding in the 8th spot...suddenly the guy ahead of me runs wide, fixates, and highsides it into the dirt :(. Three of us stop, the rider is fine and after 10 minutes we get the bike started.


I mention I'm going to go ahead and try to catch the others, but I'm running out of riding time since I had to get home at a specific time. Now I figure I'll just go straight to Palomar and get a run up/down, hopefully run into the group at some point, meet RRnold/Gonzo, and head home. But, as I get within 10 miles of Palomar, the watch says I won't make it up/down and back without issues....so I head home :rolleyes. I did see the group as I was heading back, hopefully the ride went smooth and was a blast :cool. Let's hear the stories!

Catch y'all next run....

This one was doomed from the start, sorry to hear about the spill. I hope the rider's ok (and I hope it wasn't a 1098 that went down, is that wrong?).

[qqqqqqqman]

I didn't know the guy, I think he's one of Will's acquaintances from SoCalSportbikes....new Gixxer 750 :(

[DrGonzo]

it did not go well, well at least for me it didnt.

We actually all did meet up, we rode Paly for a while ( or at least some of us did ) Then we decide to go get some food, were going to some place down the fast side of Paly. We get to the bottom and....wait a minute, were missing a person.

Nobody else seemed to want to go look for him so i turned around and the group said they would wait for me. So i go back, i dont find him, I come back to where the group was......and everyones gone. I asume they went to the restaurant, which i told them that i didnt know where it was.

Nice, real nice guys.

So i say "fuck this bullshit" and ride home.

Needless to say, im not going to bother with this forum next time i try to set up a ride.

don't worry Doc... you guys forgot me +2 of our crew. we just said F' that, the 1098 crew thinks us jap bikes aren't good enough to eat lunch with. wish you had stayed back with us... we ended up eating at a pizzeria in Temecula and having cute 18 year old workers flirting with us.... well at least we could impress teenage girls with our bikes and tight leathers... anyways.. i'll ride with you any day Gonzo.

[RRnold]

Ok here's my side of the story! I let my house around 7:15 and get up to Palomar around 8:15 or so and to my surprise Mother's is closed Sat and Sun!

There was only me and two other bikes there so I did a couple runs solo and ended up meeting John -954to1098 at the bottom. We run all the way up to top and then see DrGonzo-Shaun, Rick7r and Jock-Socal1098 @ Mothers. We did a couple runs and I had to bail around noon and head to Forza.

As John and I were heading down near the big turn out, I see a sh*t load of 1098's all heading up! This had to be all you late bloomers! :laugh

Honestly, we waited there for a long while. Long enough to chat up some locals who were complaining about Harley riders and also some cagers who honked at us ceaselessly. We watched a CRV fly by in the opposite lane while trying to pass a Camry. Then some truckers came by and almost took us out so we decided to vacate the premises.

Then after what seemed like forever, we figured Gonzo round Rick and the other SCSers down the front side and we'll see them at La Ranchita since Rick636 said he was going there as well.

None of us had cell reception and we didn't get any until we got out to Temecula. Warner Springs has no cell coverage. We all tried to call Rick or Steve at the 1st T intersection and the gas station and La Ranchita but there was no reception to be had. I couldn't even get internet on my phone to post a message to at least see if anyone can get it online.

The guy that went down is Otabai (Eric T.) from SCS on his 2006 GSXR750. Amazingly, his leather had no scratches whatsoever and the dirt wiped off to reveal pristine cowhide.

His bike was scuffed up but no broken bits other than a frame slider that went MIA. His passenger peg saved his tail fairing. The major damage was to the rear brake lever which bent inwards but was useable and actually is more aerodynamic now.

[DrGonzo]

well you guys knew how long the road was, since we were just on it. I was gone MAYBE 30min and no I never found Rick, did anyone get into contact with him?

[IcePick06]

Yeah Gonzo, I don't know what happened but we waited for what seemed like hours at that spot. After a while, the group figured that you had caught up with Rick and the rest of the SCS crew and headed elsewhere. We didn't have any cellphone reception like Will said, so we couldn't call either and it was getting late, so a couple of us (including myself) had to head home; since I didn't know how to get to the restaurant either I had to follow the group out. Hope your ride was fun anyway, and since nobody on this forum crashed, I'd call it a successful birthday ride :slam

Oh, RRnold, sorry we missed you man...hopefully, we'll see you on the next ride.

In the future, we definitely NEED MUCH BETTER COMMUNICATION. We had just left Mother's as a group and nobody said they were departing so we all assumed we were going down the backside. Also, we had way too many meeting spots, good thing I said "let's stop at the Chevron on the 15/74" or we would've left Anthony, Will, Julio, and the two SCSr's too :lol. I need everybody's cell phone # too so please PM me your phone numbers guys

[rick7r]

No worries Mark!

I was hanging out with DrGonzo-Shaun, John 954to1098, Jock Socal1098 and Rick636 throughout the morning.

Sucks, we bailed out before you guys were heading up. I saw a pack so that had to be you guys. It's a good thing we left when we did. The morning wasn't busy @ all and once the mountain started to get clustered, I knew it was time to call it a day. Glad you guys had fun and made it back safe.

I'm not really a fan of huge group rides but if one gets planned in the near future, you guys need to get your sh*t together! :shakeheadNone of this multiple meeting spots b/c that just kills time. Have one meeting spot and leave the lag time down to 30 mins. Not having each other's phone number sucks but for real, this ain't kindergarten ya'tches! :poke :lol

[1098BANDIT]

This was my first time going to Palomar and let me tell you the road was nice and the fact that there is camera man takin pictures was cool!!!:cool and my tires look like I was at the track niecee...:scooter

Gonzo we were waiting for you but we assumed you meet up with Rick and the other guys and would meet us at the restaurant.However, oh by the way we just got home for some reason it seem like we went around and took the long way. anyway we could most Def organize a big ride again like to Idywild or ACH.

I had a good time today thanks guys

hey does any of you guys know the link for todays pics?:dunno

[nucking_futs]

I had a great time today guys. As usual lots of laughs and great riding. My stomach still hurts from laughing too much at lunch!

Inspite of all the miscues for meeting times and places we still managed to get together. Big thanks to Mark for suggesting we stop at the Chevron on 15/74 just in case you guys showed up, sure enough you did.

Yes, we do need better communication fo sho!

[nucking_futs]

we just said F' that, the 1098 crew thinks us jap bikes aren't good enough to eat lunch with.

Rick, far from it dude. We're just riders like anybody else. I don't consider myself better than anyone just because I ride a Duc. I'm sure the rest of the group feels the same way, well maybe except Will :crackup.

It was just a big cluster fuck today, nothing more nothing less. It was great to see you, Steve and Asian Dave today. I look forward to doing more rides with you guys in the future. Whether its ACH or Paly.

Hey Julio, There's no pics up yet, but I believe the two sites are: www.jpimagery.com and www.rickclemson.com

[Reckless]

Man I wish I would of gone. You know kids kept me home today, but they killed the day because I ended up getting mad at them for some dum stuff. lolz kids. Oh well. I hope I can come out and hang with you guys, I usually ride with my; what I call brothers, from 2wheelife.com we like to have fun, not rough stuff, just some track days and some canyons, a few bbq's ect. so lets ride. Oh ya, it was nice to meet the few I met off Ortega.

But those Puma boots are looking hawt! :lol

[Notorious DSB]

Yeah, the Puma design really lightens the unsprung weight on my foot so that I can activate the foot controls that much faster for better response. I hear it is worth up to 2 seconds a lap and that would explain Randy DePuniet's stellar performance last round at Catalunya.

love the helmet, wish it didn't have the ducati emblem on it.

[Notorious DSB]

Take some white out or painter's tape and you're done.

Then again, you do have a great selection of Z1R or HJC green helmets to match your Kawasaki. I think it might go as high as KBC or even Skorpion for matching a Kawi.

Too bad the top helmets like the Corsair and Extreme are made to match top bikes like the 1098s.

yes sir, white supertechs to the rescue! :lol I spit shined them once I got home b/c of some bug guts and dirt! :yes

[Notorious DSB]

I used the bleach pen on the white fabric instep part to get all the ingrained dirt out but there's some parts of the white Lorica that I just can't get clean anymore. That, and the scuffs do take their toll on these things.

At least they don't turn green like the Oxtars though, eh?

That's why I like my Sidi Corsa's. The instep part is covered by the buckle so all the dirt is hidden, and there's so much armor on the boots that the white doesn't get too dirty...if there's any dirt you can't clean, I just use my white Tire Pen to touch up the leather :cool


*Hey, does anybody know who this guy is? I saw him at Mother's but didn't get a chance to talk to him to see if he's on this forum too.

I just use some mild dishwasher soap w/water and wipe it clean. :dunno


His name is Jacque-?? (pronounced Jock)-Socal1098. I ended up seeing him again @ Moto Forza later on that Sat afternoon. What's funny is that dude cusses up a storm! :lol

[1st Duc]

Hey DrGonzo, I'm apologize for Will, he destroys all the group rides and we promise not to bring him to the next one.

Here some picks of your royalness, if you look close you can see me backing it in..... Pay attention fellas! jk

ok how do you post pics on this thing?

Alright, Anthony... you fired the opening salvo!

[Notorious DSB]

Oh... and an update on Eric. His bike is scuffed on the plastics and some scratches on the fairings but otherwise there's no damage to the bike, all cosmetic only. He said he'll be out next week at the Crest for the whole day, so he's getting right back in the saddle, unlike Maverick.

[1098BANDIT]

wow Anthony thats a nice pic of u>>>>:scooter:scooter

Alright, Anthony... you fired the opening salvo!

[Notorious DSB]

I think he needs to be looking into the turn, not at the camera. That guy... also seeking publicity.

He'll attend the opening of anything to get some photo ops, including the opening night of a movie, the new Kohl's, the opening of a soda can... whatevers.

[1st Duc]

Let the games begin!

DrGonzo is going to be pissed that you used his pic for that... But he has been told that you are the trouble maker.

[RRnold]

Now I figure I'll just go straight to Palomar and get a run up/down, hopefully run into the group at some point, meet RRnold/Gonzo, and head home. But, as I get within 10 miles of Palomar, the watch says I won't make it up/down and back without issues....so I head home :rolleyes. I did see the group as I was heading back, hopefully the ride went smooth and was a blast :cool. Let's hear the stories!
