Just make sure you take a picture of the bike after he lets you ride it ;)
So, what time of day are you planning to ride? I would imagine that you would want to stay in LA, so what is your route?
I would be on an 1198s, and no...I don't let anyone ride my bike. [moto] [cheeky]

In defence of my bike, it has yet to get a ticket. I am ticket free on both my bikes, and try to ride in a safe, yet spirited manner. Mostly likely, I am somewhat lucky. Please don't think that I am a "wild woman" on my bike. [moto]

I'm game as long as it's early and in Malibu. Oh, and the weather doesn't blow.
Meet Up Time: 8am with a 8:15 launch. We can kick tires at the Rock Store (closed) I'd prefer a 7:30 meet but. . .
Planned Route: Twisty Parts of Santa Monica Mts.
Pass Word: Here's the keys to my 1098. Ride it like you stole it!!
Hand Shake: I'd rather not with all the swine flu going around. :-*

I'm down. I'm finally (almost) out of trouble, I mean, 2 points off the record as of Nov. 11, and one court date before the...oh, nevermind, I must MAKE myself sweep...and no wheelies, Matt.
Come one come all, you know you want to. This will be a ride for all levels...so get your big pants on, let Mom thaw the bird in the am and let's go.
;D
i'm totally down for this. i've never been the rock store, either, so i think this'll be cool. as long we (or I) can go at a reasonable pace... i can't afford another ticket either. lol

Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. Besides, the rock srote isn't usually open on T-Day so we just sneak out back and pee on the wall. It's totally hooligan. [laugh]
Time: Doable
Route: Huh, nice scenic adventure
Pass Word: Ah, I think we have a problem. Bobspapa must be coming along for the ride
because he owns a 1098.

You may want to update your original post to include date and time. I might be up for this one. How many going so far?
I'm in for an early morning jaunt on T-day. Just tell me where and when! It would be nice to meet some fellow board-ers.
I'm in Santa Clarita so if any Valley riders want to hook up on the way, let me know.
Time to circle the Ducati's: I am in the OC. Who else? Embyr? Let us get a head count and decide a meet up.
Rock Store closed? No problem, we will have our own party [thumbsup] [moto] [evil]

That works! Is there a particular gas station or something? (and what city/area is that?) ... and what time?

I thought it was the same thing....
It's like norwalk or something...
I'll try some Google-magic and find a meet spot
7:30ish sound good?
should give us time if we need to wait a few minutes for straglers then roll to PCH/Sunset to meet the gang
Nomods rollin too..? does that vicinity for a meet up work?
It is...which is why we are poking at the fact that there are two threads for the same ride.
***newsflash***
Which thread will be "the one"?
Will the newbies get confused with all the double thread action?
Who knows how to decode the Italian's trickery? Is there even a "real" Turkey Ride, ride?
Why is there a mysterious meet up at 8:15, when the ride starts at 8:45?
***end***
Stay tuned... [popcorn]
btw
IN.
;D ;D ;D
^ that works- i'm seeing downey-ish...it's near honda world and stuff. i'm a loser & can't find gas station...
If you exit the n/b 605 fwy at Florence it drops you out right by Honda world and the de-funct GM dealerships. Go to Florence and turn right......ride for about 1 minute and you'll hit a Mobile station- Florence and Orr and Day Road.
.. I rather enjoy toggling between threads for the same thing.... Then again, I'm an Idiot [thumbsup]
probably need an alternate OC meet up as that's not on the way for any of the coastal riders.

Look for a Pearl White S4RS [thumbsup]
So what's the planned route?
-Francisco
Not sure of the route yet. Meeting up with a few O.C area riders around the 5/605 ... then riding to meet the rest of the gang . Check the other thread for meet up loc- if youre close by.. [thumbsup].
..See y'all there. Ill be there @ 7:20-ish on the 996
[thumbsup]
I'm out from this ride - will be riding Malibu with some friends a bit later.
You all have fun up there.
I'll be there with my dad... Only one Duc though... I'll ride sweep on the big Kawi... and see if I can keep up [moto]
So what's the plan? Is the other thread one and the same? What' the scoop. I want to come but I also want to meet up with other peeps at the 5/605.
I guess I'm in +1.
I'll be at the Mobil at 7:30 with a friend.
i'm so excited to meet and ride with new people!! :)

What do you ride?
a turquoise/light blue M900. :)
Ride is ON. It would be nice to hear from the guy that started this new thread... [roll]
This thread and the other thread are the same ride. 5/605'ers have there act together and the details are posted on the original "other thread"...then y'all are to roll up to Malibu and meet the local gang at the Chevron in Malibu.
BTW~anyone know if the Chevron is even open for business these days? The "other gas station" across the street from it will suffice if so... ;D
If the weather is anything like it was this morning, should be a nice ride even that early.
...i guess "someone" could merge the two threads... [roll]
anyhow, i hope to see you all at the Cheron on PCH at 8:15

I think I am going to have to back out on this... I'm so sorry, I was really looking forward to going on this ride!!!!
I got loaded up with the major part of a large group project, besides the rest of homework I already need to get done this week. :( (I'm a senior and it's killing me!) All due the beginning of the week, of course.
My sincere apologies for flaking- I'm really disappointed here. Hopefully some other time soon.

Peace Out.

No pics from me, or probably even of me but I was there! ;D Nice seeing the familiar old faces that I haven't seen in years and good meeting new people.
Awesome riding with you guys today. Thanks for accomodating a slow poke!
Happy thxgiving!

Uh oh.............+1 on what Matt said.
Did the Captain have pants ??? [laugh]
... actually 2 hiccups...
..damn gravel in the road.
And Yes... Thank God the CAp'n had pants [thumbsup]
Hiccup number one here! A low speed low side on sandy stuff not 5 miles from the start cheeky]
All I can say is thank dog for frame sliders, the damage was limited to some delrin, a Rizoma bar end, some scuffed leather, and what was left of my pride. I took several photos of people and bikes and will post those later. The second hiccup (did anyone get the young man's name? By the way, he's an Airman in the AF just back from the Stan) got stung a bit worse than I did...a raw spot on his knee and blown out jeans, a dent in his tank, and an expensive rear-set half...but fortunately able to ride home. We rode back together as far as his exit in Encino. Big thanks to the riders in the group that assisted both of us today.
Still, it was a pleasure to meet those I chatted with and check out all of the bikes. Y'all have a great weekend!
And now: "Signore Bombacelli! My medication please!"
Ah, yours was the one I stopped for at the start.
Oh yeah, DucofWestwood, does your buddy on the Triumph know he doesn't have a tail light? It lights up when he brakes but he's got no running light.
There was another guy with black gear and a red helmet with a black stripe down the middle that seemed to have a tail light that was stuck in brake mode.
oh jeez...
glad everyone's ok!!! take it easy in the canyons, ay-yah!
Good times! appart from the two hicups... >:(
Im glad nobody got hurt bad and that bikes were ridden home!
here are some pics:

Ah, good to match a face to a SN. So was that mounted on your arm then?
.. I think it was handheld... at least when i passed him he was holding a camera..
Another rider had a camera set-up mounted under his headlight.
It was great meeting up and riding with everyone. [moto]
So unfortunate about the mishaps but luckily everyone was able to ride away.
And, SDR_John you are one talented guy to be riding that big Kawi and filming one handed. I would probably ride off the rode if I attempted that.
Looking forward to the next ride. [thumbsup]
Thx for the video SDR_John! I'm the yellow helmet 2 bikes in front of you.
Sometimes being at the back of the pack has its advantages!
I thought that was you guys! I was at Chevron getting fuel, and then at the Rock Store. I was the slow poke on the white 696 that most of you blew by on Mulhulland ;D
Next time I'll introduce myself.
Hey John, Who was that good looking guy riding ahead of you on the yellow 1098 on PCH? Oh yea, it was me.
hey Fishinado - were you riding with a guy on a bimmer? if so i think i pulled up next to you at a light on PCH before the chevron in the AM ... i assumed since you were on a Duc that you were heading to the same meet-up as me, but i guess not
That was me! I really should have said hello. I feel like I missed a great opportunity to meet everyone! Next time for sure!!
