Sam, I'm the director of the Southern California Club BRAG chapter sponsored by Biggs HD in Oceanside. If you send your pertinent info to me at alighton at adelphia dot net (formatted to thwart the spambots), or PM me with it, I'll keep you apprised of any local events. The next SCAB (So Cal Area Buellers, not BRAG affiliated) will meet at Knollwoods in Yorba Linda on Thursday, April 7th. A reminder will post on the So Cal section Shawn referred to. Al | ||

Yeah -- I've been hoping to find a group closer to the L.A. / Santa Clarita area myself. Oceanside is a bit too far to go on a regular basis... Steve. | ||

I've toyed with the idea of checking out one of those meetings too but they ARE a long ways away!  | ||
| Sandblast |
If you want to hang with the cool guys you have to come to one of the meetings Al talked about!  | ||
| Unibear12r |
Sandblast you need to drag all those socal types up for Octoberfast and show em what its about! I'm trying to work around a conflict problem so maybe I'll make it but don't know yet. | ||

Wammy + 2k4xb12, Hey - the hotbed of Buell activity is So CA!! (I'm not prejudiced) Al Lighton is one of the true enthusiasts and has given plenty of sweat blood and tears to this area! I live in Palmdale - as well as a couple of others. If you're looking for something closer to home, we meet the last Sunday of the month at Glendale HD/Buell for our group ride (sometimes varies with holidays or other issues) - also we're doing a track day in Pahrump in June 11th and 12th. Last year we had over 25 Buellers in attendance and they even let us have a Buell-only session for 10 minutes. You shoulda heard the noise!!! (check the pic below) We also have a race group out of our Glendale BRAG group and now at Willow Springs will have anywhere from 10-12 racers between Glendale and Bartels on a typical race weekend. We're a pretty dang active group - NOT a bunch of street squids like so many other "regular" sportbike groups. We've got 8 licensed racers in our BRAG chapter - INCLUDING the Operations Manager of Glendale HD/Buell. Our group rides are pretty tame. I actually lead the "ticketless" group on our rides - I don't feel the need to go that fast on the street any longer (I'm painfully aware of how far a body slides/tumbles in a get-off). If you want more info - feel free to email me. Also email Candice Hurley to get put on the email list. Me (spambot disguised): qedqed ___at--- verizon...... ...dot... ___net___ Candice: 2whlnut ___at--- sbcglobal...... ...dot... ___net___ Willow Springs races are the 3rd Sunday of each month. Pic is our Mob at last year's track day in Pahrump  Better yet, hang out with BOTH groups! (Edit) - Steve, I just looked at your profile - quite a few of our Mob is in the film/audio/related biddness. (Message edited by slaughter on April 04, 2005) | ||

Okay, Slaughter and those boys are just as cool- I gotta admit. | ||

The 2nd SCAB (Southern California Area Buellers) gathering of the year is this Thursday Night (April 7th), 7:30 PM. It will be held at the same place as the last gathering, at Knowlwoods, located on Imperial at La Palma. This location is just a few miles further east on the 91 from the Press Box, the old SCAB meeting place. Coming from the east or the west, use the 91 Freeway and exit at Imperial. Go north on Imperial to the second light, which is La Palma. Turn left on La Palma and take the first driveway. Knowlwoods is up on the right....look for the bikes, a lot of different riders meet there. See you there! Al | ||

Erik Buell will be coming to our May races at Willow Springs Raceway - seems we've gotten their attention being the only BRAG club with so many active Buell racers. In May a few of the group will be transitioning to expert and I'll still be bitching about not racing yet . Race date: May 15th We'll have our usual group BBQ running so if anybody else shows up, just bring your own animal flesh to char. There's an Albertson's up the road from the track entrance a few miles if you don't wanna carry a dead carcass strapped to your handlebars all the way to Willow. No reservations required! Hope to see some new faces - and if you haven't yet met Erik, he's really an approachable guy | ||

Damndamndamnratsyougottabekidding!!!!!!!!! I'll be heading in the opposite direction that weekend. Would have been the perfect time to meet up with you guys! | ||

WTF? This thread has been dead for too long. I'm gonna throw my hat into the ring. Saw a Red 12R on the freeway yesterday. I-10 @ Cedar Ave. Saw a blue Firebolt today out in moreno Valley. Day st. & Alessandro. Don't know if the riders are members of this board, but if they are, nice bikes, Gentlemen. Anyhoo, all you other Buellers in the San Berdoo area need to know you're not alone. Although company is thin it is growing. I'm seeing more and more Buells on the road. | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
Schweet. Maybe they need to be run down and clued in to the Badweb? Mark, have you made any SCAB meetings yet? Maybe I could ride out and meet you at one. The sched is at American Sport Bike events link. Happy Buelling! | ||
| Unibear12r |
Bbstacker, if you can, try to make this year's Octoberfast. It's a GREAT ride. Check out the 04 & 05 Octoberfast threads just up page a bit. Also Octoberfast 04 in the Tale Section for pics. (Message edited by unibear12r on June 03, 2005) | ||

Hi Glenn! Hopefully I'll have enough left over from building my house to join you all. I'm going to try like hell to make it. No schlagger this time! Fire n' Ice instead??? | ||
| Bbstacker |
Charlie, I must see you do the "Happy Dance" live and in person. I'm gonna try and swing the trip. Had a little hiccup with the bank. Someone raided our account. The bank put the money back but didn't give us back the $270 some-odd in overdraft charges. Wells Fargo, I fart in your general direction, you empty-headed animal food trough wipers. Anyway were playing a little catch-up. But back to the dance...If I go you have to. Mark | ||
| Unibear12r |
NO schlagger for me!  The lack of memories from Saturday night and the ALL TOO clear memories of Sunday morning will live with me a long time! Thanks for the meds that morning btw as I think it made the wind, rain, sleet & hail that morning just "bearable". Bb, ouch, that doesn't sound good at all. Electronic raid or ID theft? The AZ Happy Dance? LOL. Be careful for what you ask for! | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
Not be be confused with the horizontal mambo...EVER! LOL! That was Yammamotosan's bag if I remember right...  | ||

I'll post this in the Southern California thread as well, but I'm in San Luis Obispo this week on a little getaway. Brought the bike for some good coastal riding and was wondering if there's anybody in the area that can recommend any decent bike friendly night spots or bike nights in the SLO/Pismo area. | ||

Charlieboy!! Guess who from where. I hope to be back by then, and this might be my first Buell event. I just gotta spend a few bucks over at Al's when I get back. Sitting on my ••• out here for so long is gonna add some HP to my bike if anything else. Johnny | ||
