Title: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by verslagen1 on 08/02/11 at 11:47:05

With all of the new members in my area, it's time for a meet and greet.

And there's a road I haven't traveled yet, east fork road (11miles).
It'll take about half of the SR39 (22miles) to get there and a third of the Glendora mtn road(22miles) to get back, or we could do all three for some real mountain mileage.

http://www.motorcycleroads.us/roads/ca_efr.html

In the past, it's been a wrench and ride w/o the ride. So this year it'll be just a ride. If you have a little tuning to do, great, we'll see what we can do.

Meet in the morning, tune, ride, then for those about to boil over I have a pool to cool our tootsies in.

I'm thinking last weekend in august. What say you?

Yup, next family visit to SoCal I'm going to get out there -- it's been too many years since I rode Glendora Mountain.

Roads like that are why I wasn't all that impressed by the Dragon!

Until someone says when they are available... either day, but I'm leaning to sunday so I can go to TRW if I need something.

And since I haven't been yet, I'm planning to go in a couple of weeks to make sure it's open and/or still there.

DrH, look me up when you're down here, we'll have another meet and greet.

Mine is in pieces right now, but when I put it back together (hopefully next month) I'd be ready for a ride.

Last sunday in August???? Only thing on my calander is "go riding". Guess I'm avaliable that day. Anybody else?

Talked to my neighbor who's a long lost HS buddy.
This is one of his regular rides.
he says hwy 39 is open to crystal lake. I've never been, it's always been closed. we gotta go before a fire closes it again.

And east fork road is open and so is glendora mountain road.

Any sunday... except this weekend. I gotta keep an eye on pops this weekend. He blew a fan belt coming out to see me then blew his head gasket cause he didn't notice. So we're taking the camper off the bed so he can put in a 'newer' engine. It's a tag team sorta thing, brothers doing that... too many cylinders and arrainged in a vee for me.

Sunday the 11th?

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by lukeduck on 09/01/11 at 14:29:13

Post by surtees on 09/10/11 at 22:33:22

Just saw this thread and might be able to make the 24-25th - it would be great fun to ride with a few other singletons - have yet to see another savage/s40 at my usual haunts in the malibu canyons.
I would need to come over from santa monica area (no problem for the bike but my backside is another story...).

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by verslagen1 on 09/10/11 at 23:14:23

Saturday the 25th then.

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by lukeduck on 09/11/11 at 20:35:50

Sat, the 25th-Will mark the calander

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by verslagen1 on 09/15/11 at 21:30:41

OOPs, saturday is the 24th, my daughter is in a parade, so that's out.

sunday is the 25th, I'm ok with it.

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by verslagen1 on 09/18/11 at 09:52:05

Well, I'm in no shape to ride, I've a backup bike. But reaching up and grabbing the handlebar is out of the question.

You guys are welcome to use my house as a rallying point, but next weekend is out of the question for me.

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by surtees on 09/18/11 at 10:35:31

I'd say just take your time to get back in shape and we will do it together whenever you are ready - great thing about SoCal is there is no end to the riding season...
take it slow.

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by lukeduck on 09/18/11 at 14:57:28

Yep, when you get back together-Keep us advised-Luke

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by verslagen1 on 10/10/11 at 08:43:37

Bike's back together, I'm as whole as can be expected...

How about the weekend of the 22nd?

Sunday is better for me

Let me know your preference.

BTW, pool is no longer pleasant.

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by Oldfeller on 10/11/11 at 09:17:29

So, you did get all the insurance settled up or did you just go fix the bike yourself anyway?

Was that new engine hurt very much?

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by lukeduck on 10/12/11 at 09:07:58

Last two weekends of this month are out for me. Hope all enjoy. Ride safe, far, and often.

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by verslagen1 on 10/13/11 at 11:29:09

We are on for sunday, 23rd of Oct.

Lunch at crystal lake unless we get there too early. 8-)

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by lukeduck on 10/13/11 at 14:46:36

If you get there too early make it breakfast or brunch. Wish I could make it, next time. Ride safe, far, and often-Luke

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by surtees on 10/16/11 at 19:22:55

I think I can do it - will let you know tomorrow - glad you are able to go.

We met a Versys rider for the last pic.
On a beautiful day in SoCal.
Hwy39 up to Crystal lake 22 miles
halfway down to the East fork cutoff
11 miles up to Glendora Mtn Rd.
Then about 20 to Glendora and civilization.
The way home needed a turn I was unfamiliar with
So we stopped in the shade of a avocado tree to consult mr gps.
Out comes the owner to find out what all the racket was... Hey you ride bikes? I ride bikes... and we left with our pockets stuffed with avocados.

Looks like it was good. Sorry I missed. Maby next time.

So who got to go on the ride? And tell us who is in each pic... please...

Does look like it was a fabulous ride. Beautiful scenery. You gonna make some guacamole??

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by verslagen1 on 10/25/11 at 08:21:34

Pic's updated with names.

maybe, they're not eatin' ripe yet.

I may have to go back and count corners.
The upper hwy 39, east fork and glendora mtn were 'dragon' like roads.

Post by kimchris1 on 10/25/11 at 18:22:25

Nice pics and sounds like you guys had
a great ride and time. Thanks for sharing.
Wow fresh Avacados right off the tree..
Mmmmm would go great in my salad..:) kim

Post by surtees on 10/28/11 at 19:16:29

Looks like you had a great ride, sorry I missed it. Had a little adventure of my own that day and wound up with this.... a friend just bought a new bike and it needed a home - and since I have ambitions to put my thumper under the wrench Ryca style it seemed reasonable to have an extra (or so I told my wife).
next time I will join you on something...
glad you are up and out Vers.

sweet, we'll have to do a vintage dash

Title: Re: 1st annual Dash and Dip
Post by surtees on 10/29/11 at 22:07:15

rides like a dream. stopping on the other hand is not a strong point - so my first task is an overhaul of the front brake system - the airhead forums are pretty good but I am really spoiled by this site and the savage community. a nippon/euro vintage dash would be cool when your new one is on the road.
