[fms1day]

Alright SoCal riders... I say show us your roads! :teeth

[MrCrash]

I spent a lot of time learning to ride down there, going way faster than I should have been going at places like Mulholland...

[fms1day]

That looks vintage! :p

[nadrojp]

possibly moving back to so cal... will be looking this month!

[TinyDancer]

WOOT! SoCal! There are tons of awesome roads down here especially in the Malibu area. So neat to see a So Cal Barf!

[Sidewalk]

Is this a new forum? Or is BARF just trying to lock me up in a seperate room?

From Moreno Valley, 7 years in Alameda, now I am in wonderful San Diego!

[blackOnblack]

they should bump it down in the forum list. being #2 in the club house is teh lame!

[mikev]

not to be a dick but social gatherings should be first in the clubhouse section

[Mortifer]

I've moved the SoCal section to under the group ride section.

guys, this is a new section for the SoCal peeps to hook up, plan rides and socialize, let's please let them and not have us norcal peeps chit chat too much.

thanks.:)

[TerryNugwin]

I'm orange county's finest. Ortega highway ftw

[hapamoto]

Lived in So Cal for 23 years and never did much street riding but their dirt riding is the bomb and I would love to ride up into the San Bern. Mtn. IE Arrowhead and Big Bear area:thumbup:ride

[schteve]

But Mort, since many of us transplantees ended up, well, up "here" we should talk about that as well... No?

Maybe we need a Transplantee topic. :teeth

[tulip]

I used to live in Orange County and Long Beach. I travel a lot back and forth NorCal & SoCal. I'm up for riding anywhere. :thumbup

[Eric in Davis]

Just saying Hi. Thanks for making the new section Budman :thumbup

I've been down here in Manhattan Beach for almost 5 years now. I started riding when I was up in the Bay Area back in... something like 2001'ish, thus the stupidily inaccurate username :laughing

I don't do any street riding anymore, just racing (mostly at Willow Springs/WSMC), but I do have a street legal FZR400 I just need to get running again and then maybe I'll start braving the crazy LA streets again. I used to ride Mullholland Highway a lot when I first moved down here.

[stangmx13]

well this is new.... now i wont seem out of place for cruising BARF while living in San Diego. im ready for the coordinated BARF SoCal trackday.

[budman]

Splendid idea! :thumbup

:smoking

[Sidewalk]

well this is new.... now i wont seem out of place for cruising BARF while living in San Diego. im ready for the coordinated BARF SoCal trackday.CMRRA, every month :thumbup

[BIG186]

Before I moved to beautiful Hayward:rolleyes I was living in Thousand Oaks. I have a bunch of friends in that area still. I'll set up a group ride from the Bay down to So Cal, hit up The Rock Shop and Mulholland. My Lady is Upper managment in www.678dine.com so after riding we can party like rockstars. I'll post the ride when the weather gets epic

[Mike T]

and TeeSnob...sick tat! i was planning on getting one like that later on the years :thumbup

[afm199]

I visited Orange County in 62 and there were lots of orange trees. And San Bernardino was not a suburb of LA. :laughing

[SloDuc]

Learned to ride on the streets of LA. Mulholland taught me a thing or three :teeth

[Hooli]

When are you heading down there Mike? I was thinking of doing a ride to SoCal this summer.

"NorCal BARF invasion 2008 West Coast Tour!" :laughing

[gsims]

Lived in Burbank - rode Hwy 2 (Angeles Crest Highway) every weekend...and a little canyon called Sand Canyon. Tight & twisty. Miss the warm winters!

If I can get my hands on a cush two-up sport touring rig, we'll talk. Tons of good roads between here and there :)

(mostly thinking the NorCal residents wont read this so i dont get a nice :twofinger)What are you talking about? I have been riding my bicycle to work 5-6 days a week since November!

Seriously, today is the first time I have ridden the Nighthawk since then.

i didnt say riding wasnt possible, no matter if uve got an engine or not. i ended up visiting a friend last weekend in Santa Monica and of course was stuck in the rain driving back to watch the Superbowl, just misearbly cold for 2hrs. maybe im just getting wet on weekends.... and hopefully its dry on Friday for Racelegal at Qualcomm

[Patrickmotox]

We are down there 10 times a year does that count?

www.shanemcgoey.com

Look at my coffin, and do not weep, I am not there. I go in to deep. I am late braking, into the turn. I am dragging an elbow off of the berm. I am pinning the throttle, I have it wide open, I am sliding, and pushing until lap times are broken. When you awake from the dream of my race, I’m the one on the grid you will have to face. Look at my coffin and smile at my face, I am not there, cause I just took first place.
RIP one and all.

Mulholland is nice. Me likey.:teeth

[LabbeDDS]

I'm from LBC, now up in SF, I'm riding the duc all 500 miles down to socal for my vacation. Where are bike nights? What are the good roads, I've only been riding a year and don't know too much about the socal scene.

[Eric in Davis]

This is what the scene is all about. Get one, or expect to get your ass kicked :rofl

http://dbgearonline.com/catalog/images/helmetmohawkyellow.gif

LA is like a 365 day a year asshole convention, so it should come as no surprise to hear that the place has no shortage of assholes on 2-wheels. There are plenty of good people riding too, find those people and avoid the squids. Mulholland Highway has tons of fun roads in the Malibu/PCH area. Neptune's Net on PCH at the LA/Ventura county lines is a cool biker place to stop and grab lunch after riding through the canyons. And of course the Rock Store is an icon of the SoCal biker scene, but from what I've heard it is too popular now and is the focus of a lot of police attention.

Check out http://www.socal-sportbikes.com/xmb/index.php There are a lot of cool riders on that forum.

Here is a direct link to the Bike Night section. That's not really my cup of tea, so I can't comment from personal experience.

500 miles puts you in San Diego (510 miles from Alameda to San Diego, made the trip many, many, many times). If you are going to be that far south I can point you to some good roads.

[S4Alex]

For me.. Lived in San Diego for 4 0r 5 years.. Might have been 6... Also lived in Marina Del Rey/Culver City for a year or so...

SoCal is nice... but bay is my home.. whats left of it.. or what doesnt get burnt down at least.

[Godsdarling]

For once we are not the ones on fire! Be careful up there. I heard that there is a group of riders that get together on Mira Mesa Blvd here in SD. Does anyone know where the meets are set up at?
