I did this ride two weekends ago and you are correct I think I saw you and all of your buddies that day out in force. There was a guy in a black toyota FJ that flew by me a little north of latigo canyon on PCH and as he passed I knew he was going to get busted. Sure enough 1 mile later he was pulled over by a bike cop. I had the biggest smile on my face when I passed him and thanked him for taking one for the team B)

If I read between the lines correctly, I believe he will be working in the area on his bimmer...
So does that mean you are joing us on your bimmer?
Good advice and thanks for the heads up. Why I always ride far behind the last guy in the pack... Let smokey get someone else...h34r:
MMarsh, if you see us, wave at us as we go by!

Thanks for the ETAs. If I am able to, I will catch up with you on PCH or at the Rock Store.
We plan to camp out after the ride. Anyone want to join us?
I have ridden through that area many times, but never camped. Any suggestions? Wouldn't mind traveling east for an hour or two so we can take I-15 home (San Diego county). I already know the land east of I-15 and want to stay on the west side. We don't want to be crammed in with other campers. Primitive is fine, running water preferable. Isolation, altitude, pine trees is preferable.

Praying for next Saturday instead, then...... :yahoo: I'm heading to Malibooooooo....crickets... (waiting for low level FJR pilot) ...crickets...

More than sure there is camping up in ANGELES FOREST but you will have to do a google search. And I think, don't quote me on this, there is camping along the PCH but more up to NEPTUNES and Point Mugu area. Remember seeing campers/RVs along the ocean. Now, ya can't beat that, camping along the PCH, what a view in the AM. Its not too far from OXNARD/VENTURA area.

I willl not be in Malibu at the start of the day, but I will wait for the San Diego mob at the entrance ramp of Camino de las Ramblas in Dana Point. Don't wait for me, I will be there around 7:30 to 8am, and I will wait for a bunch of FJR's to go by....... If you see a red ZX-12R with Bags and an old fart stalking you all, don't worry it will be me!!!

Thanks for the warning, we were going to give the sweeper orders to take out anyone that didn't look like us.

Tony,
If we are leaving the rest area at 7 exactly like we hope, we will probably blow by Camino de las Ramblas a few minutes before 7:30. I would count on about 7:20. I'll PM my cell number to you so you can call and see where we are.

As some of you know, I experienced a front brake failure as I was turning into Latigo Canyon Rd.
Sometime ago I participated in a group buy for Speigler brake lines. I opted for the single line from the master cylinder into a T fitting with a line going into eack caliber. The bracket for this T fiting broke and the brake line leading from the master cyclinder to this T bracket came loose at the Bamjo bolt, causing brake fluid to leak out.
Thankfully, the folks at Moto Line in Santa Monica was able to take care of me and got me on the road soon. They replaced the 2 lines from the T bracket with ones that were a little longer as the old line were to short. They think that is what caused the problem.
Anyways, I am home safe and sound and looking forward to riding with you fine folks again.
