When you ride through the canyons to the PCH 1, you have to make a stop at "Neptune's Net" another Motorcycle hangout and they have the freshest and best seafood in the area, it's right before the Ventura County line. You probably know that already. Sure sounds like you are having a lot of fun riding planned. :) We live in Simi Valley and are pretty much surrounded by canyons, however since I'm still a fairly new rider I have to take some of them slow. I usually drive to Torrance (Alpine Village) by San Pedro to buy my german goodies. James Franklin wrote:

Re: Today...
Anita,
There are roads I would really like to share with my friends, Ortega Hwy into Elsenore, Mullholland HWY and Mulholland DR (similar names, but different rides..the Drive is beautiful at night, you see the lights from the valley and then the city..great view at the lookout over the Hollywood Bowl). Decker Canyon Road and Deer Canyon Road near Oxnard. The Pacific Coast Hwy, the road through Napa...I lived in Los Angeles (well Riverside, then San Pedro) for 7 years and enjoyed many great road trips there. James Franklin 2411 Pine Summit DR.

Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 21:43:04 -0700 (PDT) James, Let me know when you are in the area. Dave (my worst half) and I would love to meet up with you. We do have great roads here, although I hate riding on the freeways here. Aside from the horrid rain grooves, we have potholes and cracks from previous earthquakes. I miss my Autobahn :) We are riding on the 20th to Monterey along the coast for the Laguna Seca Moto GP, it should be a nice ride. Yeah, Dave had to store his Thruxton for a 1 1/2 years while he was in Afghanistan and he was worried about the condition it would be in. He put it on a Motorcycle lift, drained the carburator, took out the battery and added stey-bil in the tank. When he returned this May his beloved Thruxton was just as he left it.

He does ride the CB 900 C, that's good, because it is bad for a bike to just sit-up..but it would be great if the bikes were both ridden occassionally. I am hoping to do a trip, at least one, this year, out west..California Coast or Grande Canyon, with Mike maybe, but I also have a couple of good riding buddies who mentioned that they were interested.

We ride almost every Sunday to the Rockstore in Malibu, Cali, where you see pretty much every kind of motorcycle. Jay Leno always rides up with bizarre looking bikes or cars. Every time I ride up on the W, people just gather around it because they never seen one and most have no idea what it is. Matter of fact my husband was a little upset (haha) everyone is checking out my bike and not his pristine cafe racer 04 Triumph Thruxton. ksufanatic342 <ksufanatic@...> wrote: Here in the city I had NEVER seen another dub.

I never said Hondas weren't good, what I did say is, that some bikes have more character than others do..if we did not think some had superior atributes than others, how did we make the selections we did?
Even if you really like them all, some are more appealing to you than others. James Franklin 2411 Pine Summit DR.

Re: Arrgghhh...I can't make up my mind whether I hate my...
The typical Hondas are more what I had in mind, VFRs, Gold Wings, ST 1300s.. all work very well, will probably last forever, just aren't individuals.
I have a Honda NS 50, so if you think your GB 500 has character (and it does), ride an NS 50. I also have two NT 650 Hawks, a CB1, and a 1981 CB 900 Custom..all of which are characters. My Honda CBR 600 F3 though, just does its job...it has some character because I have removed most of the plastic. James Franklin 2411 Pine Summit DR.
