L. A. ADVenture Rides

GREAT!
I don't think i'll get my bike back from Eric's before Sunday, but a full moon ride sounds awesome. I Better get a heavier-duty light setup...seems my TE610 came stock with a Fischer Price flashlight.

Thanks for the heads-up! You'll be seeing my ugly mug soon enough!

Full moon rides happen once a month (hence, FULL MOON). This is perfect scheduling as it gives your liver time to heal

Whatcha riding?

Mine is past it's 600 mile mark and ain't getting anything until payday at the end of the month.

Ride planning usually consists of:

1. Where are we going?
2. Where are we eating?

Check this forum...there is generally a ride every weekend...locally and a bit farther out. Brent (Riceless950) has some great rides out his way too.

I dion't think we've had a Husky pilot in the group yet. Them TE's are nice bikes! Be prepared to be surrounded by orange

fair enough....

Bike is fixed....Big tank got delivered yesterday so......that is the new project.....I am riding this weekend....just don'e know where yet...

I live up near BigT and i understand there's a group of you riding up in my area pretty much every weekend - i've probably seen you go by!

My baby is getting her 600 mi service this weekend - I am FINALLY ready to open'er up and explore!!

What's standard procedure for the Sat Sun rides? Pack a lunch?
Any suggestions for a first time tagalong?

First of all "Welcome to the community"

mike its a well made piece ,fit perfect u riden fri nite?

I might have to join you guys one of these mornings if I can get these 63 yr old bones moving that early. Been in Burbank since 1952 and have been all over these hills.

Just bought a 2001 DR650 (needs tires) after reading all these stories about your local rides.

`Chains, you are my hero with the camera. I usually take several dozen and I'm guilty of almost crashing trying to get that perfect shot. I see you have the tecnique down pat.

Now to get motavited and find some boots.......

Thanks Mike, our rides are mixed nOObs and advanced. There are always challenging off shoots and detours on our rides where the expert riders can have fun while the nOObs ride conservatively on the fire roads.

The best part of our rides, we get to eat and drink after or halfway on our ride.

The helicopter, is that at our disposal...

Coming down to the wire and virtually none of the work I was doing before KM is complete except removing the ABS and running new brake lines, and cutting off and unbolting worthless piece after worthless piece. Damn kids take too much time No matter what I will be there, even if it means putting all of my old shit back on.....well those pieces that didn't meet Mr Sawzall

Why wait for the weekend when you can ride tomorrow night?

I know, you're worried about the flashback....Mike, if you don't confront your fear, it will never leave you......

Face your fears

That chopper is staioned at the fire supperssion camp up the trail past the Bear Divide ranger station. (up from the rest area) Nobody around and I could't pass the photo op.

Good guys and they do air rescue!

Damn nowwhat, they won't let up on that bus! You better get some miles in with them so they can forget recent history!

We just kid him 'cause we love him
Our whole group stood on the side of the 5 not more than 15 minutes after he told us about his flat front tire on the freeway on a previous ride. Deja vu.

it's payback time for me

first off, Joel, congrats on your 1 year DS anniversary. I have only ridden with you twice, but your passion for motorcycling and the ADV community is very apparent. It has been a pleasure riding with you, and the others I've met on this site

This Sat, I'm thinking of doing a more GS like ride; Heading out to Carrizo for some dirt (probably Elkhorn Grade, then back on the 33 through the los padres forest and ojai. Or, heading up to SCD and Newcombs. Not sure yet, but I'm definately getting out this weekend! Anyone is welcome to join me...

Toby

bwhahaha....Friday night,.....how about .....ummm....no F'n way..... ....

I want to enjoy my bike for the last few wweks before Death Valley.... ..

ohh...and I signed up for Rich Oliver's Mystery School...

http://www.richoliver.net/FunCampMain.html

next time I will just slide right around that phucker....

Thanks for the heads up and the welcomes! Finally some company!!!! I won't have to be "only the lonely" on some forgotten mining road at 7pm wondering if the last two turns were a left and a right....or was that a right and a left?

and I Love the Hef on tap at Newcombs! woohoo!

I am riding an 08 Husky TE610, by the way! A true beast but i haven't had it above 5500 rpms!!! can't wait!

on another note...
Do you guys ever head to Hungry Valley? I made it out there once, on a Thursday, by myself, all alone and scared....that place is so fun and insane! I'd love to go back with someone who knows the trails - especially farther up that gold creek road...

Cheers!
