Lil Ride: Saturday 9/5 ... Malibu Funyons

[madmatt]

Planning to meet at Coffee Bean on Main Street between 9:30-10:00 on Saturday AM if you're feeling it.

Usual route.

Look for the misfit squad of a sumo, sportster and Ninja 250. Super not cool. Hopefully others will show and dilute our uncoolness.

Wow.....sold the Zook & bought a Sporster

[erkishhorde]

Is sumo referring to a rider or a bike?  Is one of you guys (or gals) gonna smoke me on a 250?  I didn't feel so bad when it was my old road cycling friend but a total stranger smoking me on a 250 would hurt my pride.  I might show, though. All the roads around me are closed for fire.

Yo Matt & Co...... be careful on Las Flores.... nice stretch of oil from the first right hander umtil the first road on the left that goes to Rambla Pacifica.  I slid the front tire & just when I thought it would catch, the bars started to cross up   I rolled on the throttle & spun the rear just enough to let the front catch...... I don't know how I didn't go down....

From there on all was clear.  Mullholland is fantastic except for the little sketcy part after Decker..... the two blind apex right handers have dirt strewn accross them.

Rode 33 today too.......... man that road is the bomb   They repaved the portion from Pine Mtn. summit to the ranger station.... road is amazing [moto]

Off to Calistoga now for some Sprint Cars........ have a good time & ride safe everyone

[madmatt]

Thanks for the tip mooseknuckle.

Will definitely keep an eye out. Plus, Labor Day weekend will likely bring a host of squids and cops. Would rather stay out of both of their way.

[erkishhorde]

Hey, googlemaps calls it International Coffee & Tea at 2901 Main St. Is that the one you had in mind?

[madmatt]

I can personally confirm that the fuzz is looking for speeders.

[lawbreaker]

Dude....

Did you get a paper penalty?

[madmatt]

I did. 

[erkishhorde]

Good catching up with you again Matt.

And Matt wasn't the only one. There was a big group on a birthday ride (MetalDuc and Sachica can tell you more about that group) and I think at least 3 of them got ticketed too.

Hey, there were 2 people taking pictures in that turn and one of them was in full leathers. Was he from the birthday group? Did he get a pic of me?  

[joekarati]

I did. 

Details please...

[Sachica]

I was in the birthday ride, and there was some ticketing unfortunately. The group rolled up to the big 4way stop on Mulholland below the Rockstore. I was in the first part of the group, so we stopped and made our turn, but a couple people pulled off to stop traffic and let the rest of the group proceed through. Copper happened to roll up right at the end and pull some peeps over for stopping traffic and failing to yield at the stop sign. Boo.

Any girl in a tutu got off though for having style points.

Yes, the photog was with us but he only got pics of our group and I didn't see you in there. Wear a tutu next time.
