gnaime · 11-08-2009, 05:53 PM

great ride guys! I had a close call (near high-side) that I might have gotten on video, but other than that I think it was dope as hell! good times! Oh wait, the waitress was a little retarded too.

gnaime · 11-08-2009, 05:55 PM

oh and final mileage count for me was 260+

jongun78 · 11-08-2009, 06:38 PM

great ride you guys, learned a lesson today: never turn the handle bars while pulling out onto the road. Luckily bike started pretty quickly, usually takes 2-3 minutes when I tip it over. Thanks for the free gas Patrick

oh and pics from my August bike trip, my hands were too tired after getting back so never posted it before:

Sorry I didnt go. I was going to, but slept late. Another buddy of mine called me at like 9 and was like, get up dude and meet us here. We actually ended up running Ortega at about 10a or so. Nice day for it!!!! Hope all went well for the Kawi guys!

Indeed! very good times and no significant issues; minus Jon's mishap. Whereabouts was this close call?

The waitress was somewhat on that shit.

I just looked through all 70 photos man. Your trip is an inspiration to me dude. Incredible journey. Especially where you pitched a tent about 10 feet from where you parked your bike

I would love to do something like that, but I would need creature comforts like a motel/hotel at various locations. Great pictures!

jongun78 · 11-08-2009, 11:53 PM

11k miles and I'm still making some newbie mistakes

never too early to plan for the MotoGP races at Laguna next year, it would be fun to do it as a group

Life's just fun when you're rollin' ya know

do it if you have the time, especially the California coast, definitely worth it. I actually only got to pitch the tent once, rest of the time I didn't get to the camp sites until around sun down so I just slept in the sleeping bag on the ground or picnic table. I did stay at a motel on the 4th night, hot water is NOT something to take for granted.

I basically picked the roads I wanted to go on and just bungee netted a tail bag (with emergency supplies, snacks, clothes), sleeping bag, tent, and a gallon of water to the back and took off. I guess I kinda wanted to test my limits also, definitely felt good to not really have a need to be somewhere at a certain time

yeah, I didn't do the carb sync as well as I thought and the bike wouldn't launch at all if I was stopped on an incline so had to rev the engine up to 5-7k rpms before letting the clutch out. Tried to do it as smoothly as possible but I guess not, it was scary the first time it happened cuz I had no idea what was going on but then I was like "hey, I just pulled off a wheelie!"

Tearing the bike down tomorrow to try to do the carb sync right but atleast I know how to wheelie now

-Op- · 11-09-2009, 12:22 AM

haha, wow Jon. thats pretty funny! wheelie man jon. lol

damn it, I need to go next time.

Palomar Mountain

la_kawi · 11-09-2009, 12:04 PM

...a little less strips on the tires. Not too bad for being a month & 6 days old and being only my 2nd canyon ride since installing them.
Need to be where Nick, Dylan & Ray are at.

I favor my right side. Not quite there, in being comfortable, on my left.

Right side:
