BTW, I'll make an appearance because my name is in LT's post. It's a perfect opportunity for me to break in my new suit.


Disclaimer: I do reserve the rights to back out in case if my suit doesn't match the color of new bike!

He's just gonna ride the pocket bike he bought from Joe... graemlins/laughing.gif

[Jake]

Can I meet you guys some place closer to Big Bear?.... lets say... Shell off the Baseline on 30 hwy? If I'm not mistaken, 18 still might be closed. So we'll need to take the 330 in that case. Or we can do 18 and comeback down to do 330 graemlins/dunno.gif

[SROCRR]

If my tire comes in i will definately be there. Thach you better come to :D

So, we should take 330 route.

Can you post directions to get to the Shell from Fontana?

[Chiznarles]

do all you guys have full leathers when you go ride? Currently I only have a leather jacket, gloves and boots.. i don't own any leather pants. Should I get the pants before I start doing canyons?

Even tho most people didn't start riding canyons with full gear, myself included, i would recommend that you do get some pants. The number of people going down lately is insane. Might as well protect your body if you can. I would buy a suit if I were in your position...unless you can buy some pants that can attatch to your jacket. You will want to ride the track one day, and hate that you have to spend even more money to get a suit at that point.

[RanchoRider]

yes, we ride canyons in full leathers, but some peeps do ride with jeans. it depends on how you ride. it's your skin. it's your choice.

be safe

graemlins/biker.gif

[Vtec44]

A lot of people will not wear full leathers because of the Summer heat, but at least jacket, gloves and boots. I always wear my suit when I ride. But to answer your question, you don't have to wear full suit if you don't feel like it. We're not riding crazy out there, just a nice slow ride.

I found some leather pants by Gericke that would attach to my jacket, but only in the back with a 10" Zipper. Is this good enough for track use, or does the track require full zipper all the way around?

[ZMoe]

Track requires full circumfrance zippers.

Try NewEnough.com, they usually have some good deals.

At least you won't be like the "newbie" group with SC-fuckin'-S. Goddamn fookin' bastids... GRR!!! :mad:

It is good practice to always wear full gear. You just never know. :( I'm lucky and found a full Aerostich Roadcrafter for $300 on a BMW list. I have even worn it to a couple of track days (while I saved money to replace my "worn" leathers).

[Vtec44]

And if you ever need any help or have any questions regard sizing, email Paul and tell him Sportbikers.Net sent you. He's a really nice guy.

Back to the topic, meeting at my place so if you need directions, PM me.

But then again, not many people there were actually newbies. I'm a newbie, but i don't think I was riding with the newbies as i didn't want anyone to follow me when i decided to stray from the pack ;)

Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side today... LOL graemlins/lol7.gif

[Andre Alforque]

It's in the past, and I don't feel like ranting. I never brought it up on SCS, so I'm just gonna try and forget it, and make sure my friend doesn't ride with a particular pack of squids.

You should introduce your friend to us. I think we all are aware of the safety issue here, plus we know each other pretty well. I remember thinking that Jake was a squid when I first met him, permit, no insurance, riding at night... graemlins/lol7.gif

[Jake]

Ahhhhh... the good ol' days. graemlins/noteeth.gif

[Chiznarles]

sorry noob question.. how long do the rides last? approximately how many miles do you put on ur bike in one ride? I think my bike gets bad gas mileage, i usually fill up every 90 miles cuz the reserve tank doesn't seem to kick in properly..

[MAD1]

From where i live, this is almost a 400 mile trip for me. Can't make it home by noon so i can't go. I don't think that you will go 90 miles without passing a station. Ojai is the only time i think we went over 100 miles before seeing a gas station. I've only done the bear ride in my car, but there are stations at the bottom of the mountain and at the top. you should have to worry, just top off when you can and let everyone know if you are running low.

I was putt putting way way way in the back. Damn, one freaking super turbo charged Corolla that was also running on NOS was gaining on me. I almost had to pull over to let him pass, good thing we came up to a bunch of slower cars. Phew! It was really nice going out there to ride and see all the familiar faces again. Alex was squid-ing, T-shirt and jeans.... what's up? graemlins/nutcracker.gif Even D Duck showed up graemlins/notworthy.gif Nice seeing all the familiar faces again, Stef and Chris even bought someone with them. graemlins/thumb.gif It was fun, even with the heat. We gotta do this again... well... maybe when it cools down a little. graemlins/noteeth.gif

Good weatger, great company, I really should try to make more of these rides.

[bluerider6]

How hot does it have to get in your helmet til you start hallucinating that you're riding a polar bear in the Arctic circle? I hope that gives you an idea of how darned hot it got.
