09-01-11 Ortega Sage Idyllwild Palms Pines

[johnny]

jo & mo take the bugeye motobrick out for the first time in a month... the weather was fantastic... the ride turned into a 425 mile 9 hour adventure...

we head down the 5 to the ortega and fill up at the 76... i was eyeballing this tricked out zx10 smart bomb and come to find out it was the sdhooligan henry hester...

after exchanging pleasantries we see viffergryl on her red vfr800 pull into the 76 and run into the ladies room... we came up with a plan... we decided to ride the ortega to elsinore and figure it out from there... then out of nowhere a bmw r1100rt pulls into the 76... it was jeffeverde... ch1t man... i dont believe in coincidences but im going with it...

we were all geared up with engines purring and a 2 up yellow cbr1000rr pulls in front of us... stops... blocking the road... it was jmart and his lady friend kaitlyn...

freaky aint it...

so we all agree to ride to elsinore and figure it out from there...
