If the weather is right I'll be riding into AV tomorrow.
Will be heading to Crest or Lake Liz for lunch.
 
Expect to take the Norge out today, but not real early. Not sure I want to go Crest, since snow level was down to 5000 feet (below Newcomb's) last night, though how much if any it precipitated over there I have no idea. Don, where did you decide to go-if you haven't left yet.
 
Taking my parents to the Rock Store this afternoon, hopefully all by bike. We're in a cloud right now at my place, how's the Valley side?
 
Kind a iffy on the crest, maybe Lk Liz.....
Suitn up. See ya later fornicators.
(Bob, I ll try your phone before I hit the start switch)

Got Don's call, we're meetin' up at Hidden Springs Cafe on Angeles Forest. Now 11:30, bt there, I don't know, 12:30?, probably hang there for a while.
 
Riding the Guzzi makes my insides all fuzzy and warm.
The fire dragon dodged the clouds and rain.
The earth stood still for one tank of gas.

Bob, thanks for riding with.
Sweet communion my man.
 
Amen, you can say that again. Went out Angeles Forest to Aliso to Soledad to Sand to Little T to Kagel Cyn to Lopez Cyn. A fine time was had by all (2 of us). Although Todd calls the Norge ride as presently constituted (stock Sachs rear suspension with later spring, preload & damping tightened up, plus HP springs & PD valve emulators) "plush". OK, call it plush, but controlled plush, rather than sloppy freeway only soft plush as it comes from the factory. With muffler in up position, no passenger, didn't touch anything down anywhere, even on Little T. Wasn't balls out-or as close as I get to it-but brisk enough to make me & Don happy. Plenty good enough for me, esp since most of it's usage will be long distance rather than local canyons. Mission accomplished.
 
No, I'll still be there. I've certainly given the outlaw ride some thought, but I should probably act like a responsible adult and spend some time with the family while I'm there..:laugh:
 
Left something out.
Bob & I made it to Big Cat Rescue just after two Big Male Lions got into it in the top enclosure right off of Soledad.
Big ass cats.
Both had paws as big as Bob’s head.
The handlers were there to separate them and check on injuries.
Would have been cool to watch.
