Oct. 1st 2005 Saturday Ride

[GPTECHMAN]

Haven't been on a ride in awhile. Thought it might be fun to do a medium to cruise pace ride. But always ride at your own pace....we leave no one behind. :thumbsup:
If you havent been on these roads this would be a great time to see them.


Meeting Place: Mira Mesa Shell (Mira Mesa Blvd. & Westview) Corner Across from Best Buy and next door to In N Out.

TIME: 8:30 GASED AND READY

ROUTE: Essentially Reverse Big Loop
Mira Mesa to Highland Valley Rd.
Old Julian
Santa Ysabel
Julian
Sunrise Hwy
Campo
Telegraph
Home :thumbsup:


Please post up if you are in attendance and if you are bringing anyone along.

This ride is SQUID-FREE, no wheelies, stoppies or ANY other stunt that would jeapordize another member's safety. Please do that on your own time. There are no unsafe passes, and no EGOs...leave that shizzle at home...we are here to enjoy one another's company and to meet people and enjoy the ride. Staggered formation will be used on the straight and boring stuff and we will not speed. Tight stuff is single formation.

[LiN Mae]

newbs allowed?

[GPTECHMAN]

newbs allowed?
Off course, how much experience do you have? Have you ridden on any of these roads?

[johnnyclimber]

I am about newb as you can get, MSF and about 100 miles so far... prolly be around 300-400 mi or more by then (Oct 1st), only time I have been on those roads is in a car. If it looks like I am too slow or novice it's cool I will just wait till a slower group ride, a newb ride or get more experience :) :)

WOW, 100 miles, thats not even a tank ;)
You want to PM me and tell me how you are feeling with the controls of your bike closer towards the ride. If not maybe we can roll out on sunday for a short ride.

In any case, we dont really try and think about being too slow, thats where everybody started, so you gotta learn sometime....We just want to make sure that all the basics are integrated into your riding so you stay safe.

Yep like pulling off to the side of the road everytime you see a car... :)


Nah for reals... safety first :thumbsup:

[johnnyclimber]

I know but gimme some credit I have only had the bike since Weds. :thumbsup:

[deno]

I know but gimme some credit I have only had the bike since Weds. :thumbsup:


side note- for the first 600 miles or so you're going to want to vary the engine speed. So if your rolling down the freeway, for example, don't cruise the whole time at 70. Mix it up a little bit. And let your motor cool off all the way when you park it.

[johnnyclimber]

thanks I've been keeping that in mind, I had a thread on this earlier and most people agreed I should follow the mototune advice, been doing that which reminds me I gotta change the oil again... :) I really do appreciate everyone that is helping me out :bowdown: and now back to your regularly scheduled thread :guitar:

[HURLEYfyed]

I'm interested in attending, it would be my first HC meet/ride so far. I've never been on these roads, probably because I don't have boots or full leathers... :whistle:

[ITisURturn]

Going to be in D.C. :cry:

I'm definitely interested in riding on 10/8 - 10/9 if there are any medium pace events when I'm back in town.

[MrCrashRR]

Good you've identified the problem. Step TWO is rectifying it. (http://www.buymoto.com) :D

:thumbsup:

[pulse]

well believe it or not i am off work on the first.... i'm in :cheers: :thumbsup:

[sdnative13]

so we're not going to do this like usual. The nothern guys aren't gonna meet up then come down south to tele n meet at the mobil then every1 leave from there???

[TreAdidas]

so we're not going to do this like usual. The nothern guys aren't gonna meet up then come down south to tele n meet at the mobil then every1 leave from there???

Correct.... the route is pretty much the same.... its just being reversed... Start up north end up down souf. since I'm closer to that south I'm liking this idea...Yeah you have to get up earlier but I'm closer to my house, my food, and my bed after the ride :) :thumbsup:

[TreAdidas]

well believe it or not i am off work on the first.... i'm in :cheers: :thumbsup:

HOly cow!

[pulse]

HOly cow!

amazing isnt it..... :ha: :thumbsup:

[Irk]

Gonna spend my day at buymoto so I won't be able to make this one. :guitar:

Ride safe all.

[Robert]

Will be out of town that day, Ride safe everyone!

[Roadrage]

Hey I might have that day off to, I'd grandfather the newbees but I'm still not to familiar with the route. Anybody got a map then I'm down.

[CaptainCR]

I'm new to the board, but know those roads fairly well. I'll be there.

[iseemoneey]

W00t! I just installed my linear rate fork springs. Looks like it's going to be a good time to test them out. Thanks, BuyMoto for getting me a good price.

[ssoulssurfer]

How long is this ride? My only dillema is that I have to work at 12.

[godofspeed]

blah , i cant make it , i have to work.

[GPTECHMAN]

Im thinking more along the lines of 1 when we will be done. Have you been on any of these roads?

[zee]

I'm tentative, but if so, is there any meeting spot for the down south-ers to meet up so we can roll together up to mira mesa? Say 8am ?

[maestro]

[ThreeSixT]

havent been on a group ride like this in awhile, lets do this 8am.

[maestro]

havent been on a group ride like this in awhile, lets do this 8am.
lets meet at the telemoble and ride up together

[GPTECHMAN]

lets meet at the telemoble and ride up together
If you guys meet up there, make sure you do not pick up any straglers....if you or they do not post up on this thread, you/they may be asked to leave. Sorry, but I want to make sure that we can accomodate the amount of riders who want to ride this day. Please PM me if you have any questions.

Isnt that a little far in for a meeting spot? Why not do it right off the freeway somewhere as someone suggested. If you need to make further arrangements PM eachother. I dont want to make this thread any longer than it needs to be. Some people will loose interest if it gets to long and wont read pertinent information regarding the ride itself.

Thanks for your understanding
:thumbsup:

[sdnative13]

yeah im down to meet you guys at the star off plaza @ 8 but theres no way i driving out to eastlake just to back track. is the star in the same area as Mc D's???? question is how fast will we have to travel if we leave at 8 2 get there by 830?

[maestro]

Just to give you guys a heads up...I dont know if this will affect saturdays ride...but i just did a run through tele..or tried to and they are in the process of repaving the roads and there is loose gravel everywhere.

:uhh: thats funny, I figured that YOU of all people would be the one jumping all over changing the route because of the gravel...you know, being the "Hypercycles Veteran" that you are and all. :D

[GPTECHMAN]

I got my knobbies on.....and heard that too, but hey, we arent gonna be going fast....Im all about my slowpoke pace :)

Yup it's right on the adjacent side of MC'd's in the little center where they have the Popeyes Chicken and all that. Gonna be leaving real close to 8, to get to MM on time by 8:30. See yalls there. :thumbsup:

[ssoulssurfer]

Im thinking more along the lines of 1 when we will be done. Have you been on any of these roads?


I haven't done any of these roads on a bike yet. I've had my bike for six months and still haven't done any rec rides! I'm like that other guy I guess out of MSF haha.

Since the road through tele is questionable, and that I have to be at work at 12, I don't think I can do the full route. However, if there is anyone interested in going with everyone up to julian, and turning around with me and coming back, let me know.

[RubberSydeDown]

hmM.. 8 huh? Alvin or Maestro call me up when u leave the house yea? so that way i'll meet up with u guys somewhere on plaza by the MacDo. AND i dont know if i can make the WHOLE trip cuz work is in Kearney Mesa and we're ending @ Tele. We'll see.

[RubberSydeDown]

i'm down to ride the 8 back home. we can cut out after we do sunrise.

[peto]

if the wifey is cool i'll meet the ss down at starbucks at 8

[burst]

hmmm.... I haven't been on a group ride in over a year. Maybe I should turn up for this one. Need to scrub in the new shoes before the trackday on Monday anyway.

I'll see y'all in Mira Mesa :thumbsup:

[Arnold_R1]

I'll let Jay Wong know about this ride. I showed him this route before when he just started riding but has picked up the pace a litte more since then.


I posted this a while back. Sorry folks, looks like I can't make this one. :errf: My softball tourney is this Sat in Scripps and we have a triple header starting @ 1pm. You guys ride safe!

[sdnative13]

[teamgreenzx7r]

So who ever is all meeting up @ Plaza Blvd see you all @ 8am or earlier.. Let's all ride safe to our destinations..

[deathblow]

hay allen did you get your brakes fixed

I ate and went to sleep, hopefully tonight! I have to take parts off of my 600RR to get it to work.

[HURLEYfyed]

sorry guys, won't make this one after all... could of bought some new riding gear but i have to pay my mortgage :hammer: next time nalanganisa...

[h2o-girl]

I would love to ride with everyone, but unfortunately I think it would be better if I kept my snails pace for only a few babysitters...and my leathers will be in Vegas!!

[godofspeed]

[godofspeed]

Get well Techman... That freaking sux....

[JesseJames]

What happened to Sean?

[ThreeSixT]

Diesel RV saw him coming from a distance up on Mt Laguna, we were only doing maybe 50, and this idiot gunned his 5,000 lb RV to make a left in front of Sean to try and beat him. Use your imagination after that....

Get well soon bro :thumbsup:

[RubberSydeDown]

i didnt see it happen.... but it turns out a van tried to beat him to a turn and cut right in his path. Sean ran into the back part of the van. EMT's said his right leg and right arm are fractured. all i know is he's @ Sharp hostiptal. don't know which one.

[ThreeSixT]

Sharp off of 163 and Balboa, but pretty sure they won't be letting visitors see him, except for family and close friends. He was put on a Helo and lifted from the top of Sunrise/Mt Laguna to the hospital about an hour and a half ago

[JesseJames]

my feeling these days is that the streets are made for four wheeled vehicles with lots of steel around them...not bikes.


Get well Sean.

[r1brip]

I was with Sean in the ambulance just before the helicopter lifted him out. I was talking to him and he was feeling better after a shot of pain medication. The only obvious injury was a compound fracture to his right femur and possible broken right arm. I went to the hospital right after he was lifted out and Nic and Bill were there and said he arrived and is being treated. I did not see the accident but it seems it was the guy in the vans fault for trying to beat the convoy of bikes to make a left turn and Sean hit the right rear of the van.

[alvin636]

i saw it happen, and no one ever wants to see that, we're here praying for you sean, get well soon bud. We're here if you or your family needs anything.

[RRandawg]

Sorry to hear what happened to Sean. Hope he recovers soon. Those damn cagers. Just another reason why I hardly ride the canyons/streets.

[Irk]

Get well soon Sean! :pray:

[powerban]

Hey Sean, i know what you're going through. A similar incident happened to me at sunrise. Glad that everyone was friendly enough to help you through everything. You'll be up and running, and back on your feet in no time. God Bless!

[powerban]

BTW, did the herd of riders start blastin on that RV? What was he thinking!

[silvrsled]

Damnit, I didn't even go on the ride and want to find the idiot driving the RV and beat the living sh1t out of him. What an idiot. I'm sure the cops and EMT's made it all out to be Sean's fault too huh?

[PsychoBabble]

Hey - We don't need crap like this :mad: . The EMTs, cop, etc did NO such thing...Hell, the van driver pretty much admittted fault and was helpful in the situation. I know it's unique, but this situation was dealt with quite well... :thumbsup:

[iseemoneey]

I hope you feel better, Sean.

Yes, that is definitely unique. But I think most people would agree that lots of times, it is handle quite different.

[EvilKawi]

Get well soon, Sean. :pray:

[Arnold_R1]

Heal up Mr. Hump-tastic. God speed on a full recovery!

[darthvadRR]

get well fool. I was just talking about this kinda stuff with sean on monday ( i had a real close call last week).

we both need new cars and ride a bit less on the street. get better fast.

[nikzoom]

Crap! Get well soon Sean.

[thehowchow]

sorry to hear about the bad news and hope you have a quick recovery!

[CaptainCR]

Sean- Thanks for organizing a great ride. I'm sorry it ended the way it did. Get well soon

[brakstad]

Here are some pics from our stop at the Mt. Laguna look-out. The pics from further down the road will not be posted by me (but have been delivered to Sean).

+1 .....very unique. get well sean.

[Sentinel]

Speedy recovery Sean. This highlights the importance of what you were doing to begin with - organizing a group ride for our fellow riders. I, for one, appreciate your drive and dedication. It also shows that unexpected things happens to to the best laid plan. Kudos to the riders that gave aid. It's that biker camaraderie that draws people to the sport.

[ssoulssurfer]

Nice pics of the ride, sux I couldn't go all the way up with you guys...

[RadPajita]

Just got off the phone with darthvadRR and heard about Sean. Get welll soon!

[mill916]

SEAN!! Hope you get well soon, bro. I'm sorry to "read" about your misfortune.

[GPTECHMAN]

great ride people:rolleyes:

well 19 days in the hospital and 4 surgeries later...

Well sorry I had to cut it short. I appreciate all the kind words. It's just something that happened, couldnt avoid it and still shooting for Laguna.

The damage was a broken compound femur. Thank god for my leathers, or otherwise I think I'd be rocking the peg with kickstand. I tore the clipon off when it went through my leg. Got some juicy pics of my meat on the clipon but Ill spare ya. So I got a rod running the length of my femur, they put it in though my knee cap and locked it through thre other side by going through my hip.
They couldnt save my part of my leg, so got a sweet ass skin graft from (no not my butt) my left thigh. the part they couldnt save was 15 cm by 12 cm. Looks like a frankenleg cause I missing a little muscle.

Broken right radius(forearm) so I got a plate and 6 pins in there.
bruised lung and sprained left leg.

Noggin was untouched so Im pretty lucky.

I am really grateful not only for being able to keep my leg(which they discussed amputation) but mainly for all the people who visited my in the hospital. I really cant explain to you guys how much it meant and how it helped my recovery.
Shaggy, Mike D, deno, stroble, allan, chuck, bill, greg, Mikey, arnold, carol, Bengt, randy, barry, jared, jen, jae, bryant, lee, jenna, eileen, monte, becky, jeanette, karen, and most importantly Nic.

They threw away my cell phone so if people could please PM me their numbers I would be stoked.

If alvin and goundzero could also pm me I would appreciate it. I think they were the ones behind me and if you guys could call me that would really help.
