    Yup, Aprillia RSVR I think? A Custom RC Fiddy one, 600RR, Another RC51, and our two Harley VROD Slobs.

    Last week at the Malibu meet I went too, a guy pulled in with the '04' RSV1000R. The pics are here.

    Come on out, I'll be here till next Friday, we can rent Hardleys on Sunday and I can take you on some awesome roads! I could even get a group ride going out here like this past Sunday.
    There was going to be around 15 bikes on that ride, but people decded to ride earlier then go to someones house to watch the races from Willow Springs, The Toyota 200..
    It was a perfect amount of bikes without them! Good people!

    At least you're having a blast
    Well there might not be a next time, I may be changing careers.. So that would mean no more travelling. I am still considering the offer.

    Last chance!

    It's the Mullholland Hwy, and while you're messing round the rock store you better try Latigo Canyon, and Stunt Rd, and Tuna Canyon. Angeles Crest is old news all fast sweepers try the tight stuff.

    How about Carbon Canyon, Upper Big Tuhunga Canyon and the rest. Upper Big T probably is inaccessible due to fire right now though.

    Heh heh, I used to live about a mile from Mulholland.

    Mike, I recognise all the places those shots are taken at. I recognise the gas station and everything. Cool pics.

    Hey now, I was told by the guys I was riding with that as far as scenery and nice twisties it was Angeles Crest by far. I kept asking where the tight twisties were ? When we finally rode through them and stopped at Newcombs Ranch. Well I asked the same question again, only to get the answer we just did! " Oh " I guess I am spoiled with Deals Gap! Oh we did stop at the rock store and have lunch, cool bike hang out, everyone was extremely friendly no matter what you were riding! i have some cool pics of custom bikes from there. One is A hayabusa with all carbon body, custom tail and front cowling/light set up. Very cool looking! Te other was a custon painted V-Rod, I didn't even realize it was a V-Rod !

    So those other roads are far better eh? I will jot those down in my scrap book and ride those with my own bike next time!

    Glad you liked the pics Degs, Thanks..
