Any bikes on rear stands tip over?  Mine didn't...gotta love Pit Bull.  [thumbsup]

I didn't feel chit in Century City because I was walking at the time.  All I saw was a bunch of people eating outside at a cafe all of the sudden hop up from their tables.  What a day.  First that fatal stabbing next door.  Now, a quake (and I didn't even get to feel it).

I'm about five miles from Chino Hills, the epicenter, and I haven't felt the Earth move like that since me and Scarlett Johansson hooked up.  ;) Not really, but I did poop myself a little.

I live about 2 miles from the center of the quake.  I'm afraid of what I will find when I get home tonight.  Probably lost a lot of nice Riedel crystal.  I'm in a 3 story office building in Anaheim.  We all bailed out when the shaking subsided because there were ceiling tiles coming apart.

I wonder what an earthquake feels like when you're riding.

nothing.. the suspension masks it.

Meh, ceiling tiles are nothing. Most office buildings just the foam acoustic tile stuff that isn't really dangerous or anything. Now, if lights were falling that's another story. And yeah, I'd hate to see your house.  :-\ Was the bike with you at work or at home? I'd be worried about it having tipped over.

You're disappointed about having missed a fatal stabbing?  ??? I can understand being upset about missing the quake. If you're not near the epicenter it's a fun ride. There's guys redoing the wood trim around my apartment complex. Luckily they weren't on their ladders when the quake hit.

We're twelve miles from the epicenter.  I'm not in town so I didn't feel it.  My wife was driving and she didn't feel it.

I have three bikes in the garage: one on front and read stands, one on a side stand, and one leaning against the wall.  None of them moved.

Lester

what quake?

ohhhh...wait, maybe that's why a dozen of my coworkers and I were hiding under the conference room table this morning. And here I was thinking that we were just playing a game.

Kidding aside, one of my dogs was being a total nut case this morning and was insane when I got home post-quake. Spooooky.

Aw, it got downgraded from 5.8 to 5.4. Now that I think about it, it makes sense that your bikes are fine, Lester. It was more a rolling quake than a rapid oscillating quake. I don't expect many people to get much damage. I'm betting mostly precariously placed objects like top-heavy vases or pictures.

So here in downtown at 30 stories up I got a pretty good shake. Couple of little things fell of the shelf but nothing major. A little bigger than the one that shook downtown about 2.5 years ago.

Went to the parking garage and the bike was still standing. Hopefully the same deal at home. I think the worst thing about the whole quake was that MCDonalds closed at lunch.

Keep moving folks, nothing to see here  [leo]

darn.... I was sooooo hoping for beachfront property.




glad to hear everybody is good [thumbsup]

fine here in burbank.  We're on the fifth floor, got a big shaky but didn't even lose any toys off my bookshelf.  [cheeky]

No idea about home, hope the Joe Glass is ok.  :o

Mags is in anaheim taking the bar.  She was finishing up the morning section and felt really claustrophobic.  She turned it in and as soon as she got out of the room and building it started shaking and literally knocked her on her ass.  She's ok, little shaken (this was the biggest one either of us had felt).  I guess they ended up evacuating and stuff, the state bar has to make a determination on whether to invalidate the test.  They should hear by first session in the morning.  In a way, I kind of want them to so that the additional distraction doesn't mess her up...but on the other hand she's just spent a month working towards this and having to wait 6 months to retake would suck.  :-\

on a side note..... today is strange muth'a make the beast with two backs'a day. we've had every strange person in town, show up at the shop.

that was the first earthquake I've felt since I moved here from the east coast. Not as bad as I imagined it would feel like

...Mrs. Sturz is in town?

Does that mean BBQ? :)

I was stting in my truck waiting for one of my employees when it hit.  My truck started shaking side to side, I'm thinking, "that's a big gust of wind..."    [roll]  Looked up at the trees and they weren't blowing.  Got out of the truck, and I started shaking.   ???   When it stopped it came to me that it must have been an earthquake.  It was my first real one since moving out here from CT.  Fun times!   ;D

Good shimmy here in Whittier. I was in the back yard doing some clean up when it hit. Panic took over as I looked at the 996 in the driveway..... solid as a rock!   ..... The monster was swaying in the garage- scared the crap outta me!. Kids and wife were in the car and cell phones were out for around 40 min. Everyone a-o.k here. Hope all is well for the other SoCal DMF'ers.

My friend was taking it at the same location but he finished 10 minutes early cuz he really had to go to the mens room...but that didn't work out for him...Highly doubt they will invalidate that test considering the fact that the quake was at the very end. 

In my truck, stopped, about 10 miles east of the epicenter.
Just rolled around like a big rig had driven past.

Nothing moved at my casa.

was sitting on the couch at the time.. at first i thought it was a truck (house next door is being renovated), then i was sure it wasn't.  my dog was slightly freaked but really not much.  i grabbed her, then it was over.  nothing broke; joe's glass clinked and chattered but is all intact..

Mosts of the posts I've read start with "I was at home watching TV..." or "I was on the couch..."  ???  Are you all financially wealthy that you don't work?

I was at work in a meeting, a few people ran out the building....I just got under a desk.

Bikes didn't tip over and not a thing fell/moved in my house.

Of course, they own Ducatis (well, not gm2 anymore)  [roll] J/k. I myself just finished school and will be starting work on Monday.

i mostly work from home.  and lately i work my ass off.  not so glamorous.

More glamorous than being out of work dude.

I had just started eating lunch (at work), got worried about the bikes.
Went to the parking lot to check on the Beemer and rode home to check on the other bikes which are up on stands.
All is well.
Then I called wifey in Big Bear to check on her. No prob.  [coffee]
Glad to hear of no major breakage from anyone else.  [beer]

I was running for parts, on my way to the shop.

this thread is starting to sound like twitter, but without the technology.

I hate twitter.  Yet another useless Web 2.0 app that got WAY more funding than it deserved.

You're not the only one to observe that...

Right, but they took had another session in the afternoon and the added mental distraction surely didn't sit well with everyone. They talked about it when they resumed after lunch, and said they'd have any sort of official statement from the state bar on weds but then haven't mentioned it again. *shrug*


yes.
