So Eric when you picking up a CR? Love the Sparks from the pucks. | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Steve (Slaughter) look forward to seeing you both days (10/27 & 11/3). Any other Badwebers doing Trackexperience 10/27? James (jprovo) is heading out with me for Inside Pass. For anybody who shows up either day, I'll be the guy on the yellow Blast (I'm sure the only one) holding up traffic  | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
PS I'm pretty sure Willow Springs doesnt allow sparking sliders. Though they do look cool. Kinda makes us Harley riders a little squeamish. We see sparks and naturally assume bike parts are falling off! | ||

Ebear, Re: arrangements for Willow and Infineon; PM sent. Hey, just in case there is another Sig-Alert on turn 9 at Willow this year, do you want to borrow back the Ti-Max gloves? Andrew | ||
| Ebear |
Thanks Drew....but Al and I are hoping that MORT doesn't show up to THIS ONE!! Don't know if my ribs would hold up but hey....a knuckle dragger like me might like to spark those too!!LOL Got your e-mail.....we will discuss arrangements at Willow , so you might come up with us?...would be cheaper for sure. I hear it's sold out too.Best track around for this kinda thing!Probably stay in Vallejo and ride across the marsh.See ya soon. | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Anybody else besides Slaughter doing TrackXperience Monday 10/27? Cool if we could all pit together! Steve: PM sent! | ||
| Slaughter |
Can't make it today - the dyno at AV took a dump two days ago and I can't risk the motor without at least measuring air/fuel... totally bummed - wanted to dial in the bike before Inside Pass... oh well... | ||
| Slaughter |
I'll be using Inside Pass for on-track setup and tuning. Probably not do more than a session on the demo bikes since I NEED the track time. Double bummed... how'd it go today???? | ||
| Sparky |
I've been invited to the Willow IP as a guest of Bartels' HD/B. Gonna hafta re-condition the old leathers & boots. Might have to buy some better gloves though. | ||
| Slaughter |
All... stay tuned, we're talking about picking a local eatery the night before. There are a bunch of folks staying in Lancaster so we've got a TON of local selections around the mall here. | ||
| Ebear |
Anyone know of any openings at Willow for novice???Have friends that would like to go..... | ||
| Slaughter |
Not without calling Sportbike Track Time directly. Last email I got they only had intermediate and advanced openings. | ||

SCAB ride this Saturday.... As decided at last months SCAB meeting, because the Buell Inside Pass track day is Monday, we’re doing the odd month first Sunday ride this SATURDAY, November first. Nov. 1 is Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). So you gotta have a skull on somewhere…. A pin, a mask, a valve stem cap, a full skeleton passenger, whatever. Just have a skull on or be ready to face the ridicule of your fellow Socal Buellers. The days schedule goes like this: We meet for Breakfast at the Paradise Corner Cafe at 9:30AM. Google map location is here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6 1721+State+Highway+74,+Mountain+Center,+CA+92561&s ll=33.582591,-116.592407&sspn=1.816747,3.188782&ie =UTF8&ll=33.569444,-116.59171&spn=0.001774,0.00311 4&t=h&z=19 We’ll finish breakfast and then drive down 74 to Palm Desert. Then we’ll turn around and come back up 74, which if you hit traffic just right is a real hoot. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6 1721+State+Highway+74,+Mountain+Center,+CA+92561&s ll=33.582591,-116.592407&sspn=1.816747,3.188782&ie =UTF8&ll=33.651065,-116.399803&spn=0.05673,0.09964 9&t=h&z=14 We’ll continue past the restaurant and take 74 past the turn up to Idylwild and go back down the hill towards Hemet. At the bottom of the hill, we’ll turn around and come back up 74, which if you hit traffic just right is a real hoot. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6 1721+State+Highway+74,+Mountain+Center,+CA+92561&s ll=33.582591,-116.592407&sspn=1.816747,3.188782&ie =UTF8&ll=33.705063,-116.75849&spn=0.056694,0.09964 9&t=h&z=14 We’ll turn at 243 and head through Idyllwild down the hill to Banning. We’ll turn around there and come back up 243, , which if you hit traffic just right is a real hoot. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6 1721+State+Highway+74,+Mountain+Center,+CA+92561&s ll=33.582591,-116.592407&sspn=1.816747,3.188782&ie =UTF8&ll=33.861151,-116.820717&spn=0.113181,0.1992 99&t=h&z=13 We’ll eat lunch in Idyllwild, ridicule our friends that aren’t wearing skulls, and raffle off some goodies. Then folks will head their separate ways. San Diego bound folks that want to follow me will go back 371 to 79 and go up Palomar Mountain. It’ll be later in the day, there won’t be much traffic, and it’ll be a real hoot. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6 1721+State+Highway+74,+Mountain+Center,+CA+92561&s ll=33.582591,-116.592407&sspn=1.816747,3.188782&ie =UTF8&ll=33.302914,-116.877537&spn=0.028479,0.0498 25&t=h&z=15 We might even stop at the Hideout on the way by if folks are up for it, especially if there’s someone with us that isn’t wearing a skull so we can further ridicule them. For folks riding up from San Diego way, Tom and I will be at Bigg’s HD/Buell in San Marcos at 7:50 AM Saturday, kickstands up at 8:00 AM. Be there gassed up if you want to ride up. We’ll likely do the usual Gopher Canyon to Lilac To couser to rice to 79 to sage to Wilson valley, etc. If you’re going to Willow Springs for the Buell Inside pass track day, get a room in Lancaster for Sunday night. We’re at the Comfort Inn next to Antelope Valley HD/Buell. Steve (slaughter) is going to tell me the meeting place for dinner, I’ll send another mail out on that. See ya Saturday. With a Skull.

This is the biggest weekend of the year at the Hideout, so we need to make a guest appearance. | ||

Green House Cafe Decent food, good selection - but no grilled type steaks or seafood. Pastas, salads - but good prices and CLOSE to AV Buell and the hotel. Prices are reasonable and they can tolerate an unscheduled crowd on a Sunday. There are a TON of other restaurants but they'll probably not be quite as suitable to an informal group. Popular spot for locals and we'll often stop in after Sunday at Willow. Be curious to hear thoughts but it won't really be a voting thing - Al can just set the destination and we'll join in. We're looking into a couple restaurants where you can get good steaks and fish - but that's starting to look pricey and more likely to be crowded. Greenhouse is less than 2 miles from the hotel. Regardless of where it is, I'll invite Scott and Lori Kellerman to dinner too - they RUN AV Buell and they are the coolest couple of Buell enthusiasts. Probably get a few of their employees to come along with us all. Good folks and they're now sponsoring a couple racers for 2009!!! (Message edited by slaughter on October 30, 2008) | ||

Yikes! Beer! I'll check. I remember bottled beer... but I'll confirm when they open today! | ||
| Slaughter |
Worse than beer - they CLOSE at 8 on Sunday. Al's got a list of other local restaurants that all stay open later... he'll make the call. | ||
| Socalbueller |
Regarding this Saturday's ride does anybody from the LA area want to meet up some place between Pasadena and Pomona on the way to paradise corner in the morning? | ||
| Al_lighton |
OK, sunday night, 7:30 PM, here: From Slaughter's email to me: Marie Calendar's. I called and they recommended we call them with a rough headcount since there happens to be a musical running at the Performing Arts Center and if we get them a headcount and time, they'll make sure we can get seated without waiting. It's RIGHT there by AV HD/Buell (0.4 mi) and is connected to the Oxford Inn. It has a good selection of food. Walking distance to your hotel. www.mcpies.com/ LANCASTER #130 1649 W.

| Ebear |
Hey Brian...what route you taking?..I will be heading that way..... | ||
| Socalbueller |
I was going take the 210e, 57s, 74e, 60e, 243s. How does that sound? | ||
| Calidrew |
Brian and Ebear and other Lucky LA County Badwebbers (Scott?), I am leaving LB at 6:30 sharp and going down 405 to 73 to 5 to 74 (Ortega Hwy) to 15 to 79 to the Wilson Valley Road loop to Paradise Cafe. I am happy to meet anywhere along that route. Google Maps says 2.5 hours, but since I'm not familiar with the area I'm leaving a little early. PM me or drop a line if you are interested. I am chillin at voting office in Norwalk just in case I'm "under the weather" on Tuesday. No on "I"!!!! | ||
| Ebear |
Brian, Drew,...meeting with "Carm" at the gas station on Ortega Hiway and the 5 freeway at 7:30.....Was gonna do Ortega to 79 through Hemet up past Mountain Center to Restaurant.What is the Wilson Valley Loop???? | ||
| Calidrew |
Wilson valley loop is recommended by American Sport Bike Al. It's off the 79 go north on... ...sumthin and turn back south on Wilson Valley back down to (351?) to Paradise Cafe. It's on the San Diego boys ride in one of the links Al posted above. See you at gas station at 7:30 at Ortega and the 5. In case there is more then one gas station, which one or or what corner (NE, NW, etc.) Anybody checked the weather? I'm wearin' street ridin' clothes and bringin' rain gear so my leathers will be dry on Monday. | ||
| Slaughter |
Monday is supposed to be good. Today would have SUCKED. They were practicing today and racing tomorrow at Streets.... yuck. DO NOT USE THE "R" WORD... don't jinx us. | ||
| Calidrew |
Sorry Steve. My bad. BUT, did anybody else get wet on the way home? It must have sprinkled in Long Beach right before I got here. BTW, Carm certainly is energetic isn't he? Oh! Chill. Moody Blues just came on the iPod. I know you're out there somewhere... C U guyz tomorrow night. | ||
| Slaughter |
WOW... we saw the Moody Blues LIVE here in Lancaster last year. Amazing and as sharp as you would remember them! Good choice in music. | ||
| Slaughter |
Weather looks promising tomorrow. When I get off the dyno today, I'm putting slicks on the bike. Expect the usual PM breezes but otherwise it's gonna be a great day! See all y'alls tonight at dinner and tomorrow at Willow! | ||
| Reindog |
I'm a wee bit late but here are a coupla pix from our May SCAB outing to Joshua Tree.  Boys and girls, can you find a hairy bush scoonched over in this picture?  Can you find the head of a Moray Eel? |
