lol, good thing you got a bike then, you were missin out
malibu is a little less technical than topanga is....less twisties.....but last week when i took malibu back from pch, there was alot of dirt on the road (only in certain areas).....but it's not dirt thats gonna make you crash....its just kind of annoying....the wether is really good up there.
...i'm out for the night.

Part of the problem is that "LA" is pretty big. My house is 6 miles from the LA county line... and maybe 100 miles from where verm rides, 70 miles from Basshole, et cetera ad nausium. Not a huge distance, but getting an "LA Ride" together would probably mean an average of 50 miles traveled by everyone just to reach a mutually agreeable location.

Just 50 miles? The last time I went on a "group" ride we all rode about 250 miles just to hook up. 50 miles is just getting the bike warmed up.

Yeah, but that's for people you might actually like. We're talking about LA people here... and OC, CA people... whole different kettle of fish.
You know what is funny? I've visited people I met in online forums that lived clear across the country... as in they live in MA and I'm in CA... but I've never met one that lived within 500 miles of me.... strange psychology at work there I guess.
