725 total miles for me to get to and participate in the SCAB ride on Sunday! On a stock seated 1125R does that at least qualify me for the Blistered Butt award? | ||
| Al_lighton |
725 on the 1125R in a day? You're a stud, Brett. By the time I got home to my house, I was DONE. And we only clocked 400 miles, and I was on a Uly. As I got home, I was thinkin... Brett's probably just about getting to LA about now, only 150 miles more to go. What time did you finally get home? I bet you were a bit chilled. Al | ||
| Bertman |
I got home about 8:15 p.m. and my hands and ass were sooo sore. I ran into a swarm of bugs going over the 154 right next to Lake Cachuma at dusk that just peppered my fairing and visor in a whole 5 seconds. It looked like a Hollywood movie version of locust but on a miniature scale. Cold - yeah, there is nothing like riding in sweat covered blue jeans and shirt under my fully lined textile pants and jacket while looking at my air temp gauge that says 48 deg. outside. | ||
| Bertman |
The Mild Bunch   Yeah, it was a long ride. We rode all the way to Easter Island.  | ||
| Ebear |
Darn Bertman Brett that was the LOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way 'Round wasn't it????? It was so great to have you on a ride here..nice shot of the Head too..I'm guessing our next ride should be up towards your neck of the woods....maybe the Malibu mountains to see Jay Leno or the Poppy fields by Willow.Hey Tom Reiner....my memory card failed so I have NO pictures....could you post some of your shots too???Purty Please???? And anyone else! | ||

Greetings Socal Buellers, Wednesday is the first Wednesday of an even month, so it's time for a SCAB meeting at Knowlwoods. Come have a burger and a beer at Knowlwoods this Wednesday June 4th, 7:30 PM for the usual even month Buell Banter. Be there or be somewhere else. I think I'll be riding up on my bike for this one, so if anyone else is riding up from SD county, let me know. Knowlwoods is in the shopping center at the intersection of La Palma ave And Imperial Hwy, just north of the 91, see http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=5665+E.+La +Palma+Ave.+Anaheim,+CA+92807&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=33.8 61115,-117.791548&spn=0.016607,0.046563&om=1&iwloc =addr See ya there!

Thought I'd start a Laguna Seca thread above ^ http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 367591.html?1213058306 The Love Shack will be making the pilgrimage again. Various rides are being planned! Fun stuff - I'm even going to be missing Willow Springs racing for this!!! | ||

The Glendora Ridge/Mount Baldy/Glendora Mountain Road Ride...(man,that's a mouthful!) went well...had several new riders,on a variety of different brand bikes show up at Bert's. This Mega-mall has increased it's size,like it wasn't already huge!I recommend if you've never been,go check it out!We headed up the hill,stopping at the view spot for a few minutes,then blasted over to lunch at the Baldy Lodge.After great food,good service and catching up with all our friends,we headed up the mountain for a brief stop at the top,where the Ski Lifts starts .Various Bicyclists were lifting bikes to the top for their Bonzai runs in the exquisite pine scented air.Re-tracing our steps back to the entrance of Glendora Ridge road,we slalomed our way back to the view point for a quick breather,then down the GMR to search for smoke a couple had stopped and told us about.Never seeing the smoke ,we headed for the freeway and split ways here.Slight problem with where we entered the freeway though....it seems the entrance to the 57 freeway was a couple of yards AFTER the entrance we got on and some people took off the wrong way....SORRY TOM and friends....we got off and proceeded to miss it again and had to wind our way back through Glendora and Covina to find our way. We think we saw some of you on the 10 freeway as we were headed back...(ULY)oh well...still not a bad birthday as we got back to my place and paid homage to the Corona Gods......Thanks again everybody for coming and we have to do that ride again soon!!!....(oh yeah...were was Harriet,Ozzie???) | ||

I saw a rider on a yellow lightning wearing a grey helmet with yellow Buell logo on the 52 west in San Diego today. I was in the suburban that gave them a thumbs up. I would have suggested the "shocker" but they were on my wife's side, and..... Anyway I am in San Diego for the next few weeks and I did bring my bike along.... | ||
| Diablobrian |
So, is there going to be an organized San Diego area Buell ride in the next few weeks? If not I want to organize one so I can meet up with as many of the locals as I can while I'm out here. Of course I'm game to meet up with anyone that wants to whenever it works with your schedule too. My schedule is very open, with the exception of days when I'm in pain of course. | ||
| Krassh |
The last ride was June 28th. It was suppose to be July 6th but due to homecoming activities it was changed to the week prior. The next official SCAB ride will be first Sunday in September. I am sure a ride can be arranged. A lot of the guys are coming back from Laguna Seca this weekend so lets see who else chimes in. | ||
| Naiguy |

| Blackm2 |
Hi Brian, I'd been trying to get a few guys together in the San Diego area with little success. Peoples schedules don't jive. I will be out of action this coming weekend but after that I'm open. How long you in town for? I'm actually close to you, I live in Tierrasanta. Dave | ||
| Naiguy |

Hey guys. Is S.C.A.B. the only Buell group in So Cal besides the guys at Glendale Harley? And what is the SCAB website or address? Would love to me up with some Buell'rs and go for a ride. | ||
| Al_lighton |
No SCAB website. Just a mailing list. I'm the keeper of the mail list. Not a whole lot of traffic on it, just ride and meeting announcements. It's a pretty low key group, with a pretty simple overall agenda: 1) Group ride on or about the first Sunday of odd months 2) Group meeting on or about the first Wednesday of Even months (Knowlwoods in Yorba Linda) 3) Laguna Seca in July and september Other Buell related activities happen on occasion that get announced on the mail list as well. No dues or club handshake or T shirt or anything. Just a raffle for goodies at the meeting to raise funds for paying for the Laguna Seca campsites. PM me with your contact info if you want to be added to the list. Al | ||
| Ebear |
JUST a RAFFLE..??? Yeah , but you oughht'a see what we raffle!!!  | ||
