Ghostrider- I wish I'd bought the Blast at Glendale. That experience was 95% Ventura. Glendale was just the first stop since it was the closest dealer when the bike first broke. I'm not doing the Love Ride but there may be something going on at the Peterson tonight. Call Ernie for info. -Saro | ||

Re: Tonights ride to the Peterson Museum Ernie says.... Petersen Museum Hey Guys and Gals, I know it's last minute, but ya gotta be ready to go this Friday night to the Petersen Museum Pre-Auction Showing. It's FREE! See ya there, Ernie Be ready to leave at 6:30 Friday from Glendale HD/B. Be there or be square! | ||
| Rhinowerx |
Just for clarification - the Petersen Museum Pre-Auction Showing this evening is free to those who are in possession of Love Ride tickets, otherwise I think it's standard $10 entry fee Any non-Love Ride participants interested in a ride up to the Rock Store this Sunday - it's FREE  - the weather should be great and the crowds should be mellow (or not)... | ||
| Matty |
Nope. The Peterson was free, as were the drink tickets handed to Steve Natt and I, by a lovely young lady. The museum was great. The auction lots were okay, with only a few notable bits. BB King was freakin' great! | ||

Bueller? Bueller? | ||

Buell riders & sport bike enthusiasts, come to the SCAB (Southern Calif Area Buellers) meeting at Knowlwoods Thursday (Dec. 1) at 7:30 pm. It's a non-denominational (not brand specific), no dues, informal group of bikers who like to do fun things like ride the great backroads of SoCal, camp out at Laguna Seca's MotoGP and share our vast accumulated knowledge of bike lore and road trips. Everyone's welcome. Knowlwoods location is posted here. | ||
| Ghostrider |
Damn! That's a hike. And only one day notice. I'm not sure I can make it that quick. That's gotta be a two hour ride from here in traffic. | ||
| Al_lighton |
DOH!! Thanks for the reminder, Sparky. I forgot that today was Dec 1. I'll send a mail to the mail list. | ||

Slaughter....As per our Scab meeting , I believe we are 4 wheeling it on Friday night to suck up the "Stuff for Sale" as the best stuff disappears early.We will then "RIDE" on Sunday so as to get in our therapy and maybe catch a great Pizza lunch after across the street!Everyone pipe in here so maybe we can meet up going north again.I think last year we met at Euclid and the 405,coming from the south just pull into the first lot on right(parking for a hotel I believe)and head up from there.Hey FB&D....whats your plan??? | ||
| Slaughter |
Sat nite we have a Christmas party we have to leave to attend. Sunday will likely see us doing garage and storage organizing. Can't get Friday off or we would! | ||
| Sarodude |
A family medical crisis permitting, Loli and I are hoping to be there. -Saro | ||

A couple of IMS - Long Beach, CA - pictures (taken today)... http://rhinowerx.com/fotos/categories.php?cat_id=102 Great show Great turnout (Message edited by rhinowerx on December 10, 2005) | ||
| Ghostrider |
Well, I made it over to the show today. It was smaller than I expected. But there were good deals to be had on all kinds of gear. I got a jacket and gloves for my son as well as a two-piece set of leathers for me. Now I'm ready for the track days!! So, are there any Buell groups that meet regularly? Where are those meetings? When are those meetings? I'm going to need more than one day notice. I'm going to have some free ride time coming up around the holidays and after the new year. Looking forward to it. PS: Rhinowerx, nice site. | ||
| Heretic |
I went to the show yesterday.... I forgot to pick up a shirt. Did I miss anything good? BTW: Any LA riders around? I'm in Hollywood. | ||
| Rhinowerx |
I'm in N. Long Beach area. During these winter months, if no rides are planned, I like to head out to the RockStore on Sunday Mornings to meet up with other folks I know - and some I don't. We usually aim to get there around 10am, then head off around noon-ish to have lunch somewhere along PCH (Malibu/Zuma Beach) Let me know if you SoCal guys what to join us - usual meet point is at the Chevron, corner of Sunset and PCH, Pacific Palisades... jack at rhinowerx dot com | ||
| Ghostrider |
Well, Jack, that sounds good to me. Unfortunately, I'll be toughing out the weather in Denver this weekend. Perhaps the following Sunday. Oops, that's the big Holiday, so maybe the Sunday after that! Either way, we'll hook up for a ride. | ||
| Socalbueller |
Checking to see if anybody knows a good shop to get tires mounted. I have called a couple places around me (Van Nuys) and they only install tires they sell. My 208s are getting worn out and would like to get my Diablos on soon. Thanks, Bri | ||
| Rhinowerx |
If your up for the 'do-it-yourself' approach, and you can get yourself, the bike, and the tyres down this way (N. Long Beach), I have one of these you're welcome to use...  | ||
| Rhinowerx |
It's on for tomorrow 12.17.2005 If anybody else wants to join us, we'll be meeting up the Chevron, corner of Sunset and PCH, Pacific Palisades at 9 am. From there, we'll be making or way up to the RockStore.  My cell is # 310 429 8370 Cheers -Jack | ||
| Heretic |
Hey, SocalBeuller, did you try Redine Motorsports on Ventura and Van Nuys Blvd? They're a pretty low key racing shop. And Jack, I'll see you at 9 at the Chevron. Looking forward to it! Anybody else coming? BTW, Jack, nice Bowflex you got there. I've never seen one in red. | ||
| Sparky |
SCBueller, I bought a Metzler Z6 for the rear of the Firebolt at Wheel Works in Garden Grove. Took it and the rear wheel to Del Amo Motorsports in Lawndale on Marine Ave by the 405 Fwy. They mounted and balanced the tire no questions asked for $21.25 in a couple of hours on a Saturday. Sparky | ||
| Socalbueller |
Heretic and Sparky thanks for the info! I'll give those places a call this week. Rhinowerx, do you have a way to balance the tires also? I'll see you tomorrow 9am. I have been working in New York for the past 3 months and it need to go for a ride. Hope the rain holds off. | ||
| Rhinowerx |
Great ride today guys - thanks for making it out (Heretic and Socalbueller) What's this, snow in Tujunga?  - Click on the picture to see a few more...  | ||
| Heretic |
I'm ready for the next ride.... snow or not. Great pics, Jack. Thanks! | ||
| Ghostrider |
Wow... would like to have made it out for today's ride. I left snowy Denver VERY LATE and missed my connector. Stuck in Phoenix now. Anticipate getting out mid-week this week with my son. We'll see if we can see any cool stuff on some day rides. |
