With the miles you are putting on your "S" you should take a drive up to Hwy 36 from Red Bluff to the coast. 140 miles of Hwy bliss and in all the times I've done it I've not seen any cops in the middle 100 miles.

I've seen race bikes taken right off the trailer to give them a test on Hwy 36 not to mention built cars that come from all over to run 36, but for the most part you will see some very fast bikes on Hwy 36. It's one of the best roads to run and have fun but if you crash you will wait a long time for help to get to you.

Bugs, skunks, 2 boy lovers in a eclips sharing something in their mouths(?) we got flashed, we flashed back, slip and slide, flying CR parts, sheriff meet and greet. It was quite a good beginning of the evening! The MT diablo run was even more nuts. 100+ cyclist smashing down the peek using both lanes like its their own personal race track (where have I heard that before?) seen a group of "fast riders" stuck behind a school bus as they passed the media (where have I seen this before?) lol home now going to nap, hopfuly going to do another run.. The S needs some liquid refresh after that 110 humid weather at the sumit smashing down at second gear v-tech about 80% the time. Once we cleared the skimpy short wearing, bright colored high five-ing, grab ass playing professional cyclist yelling slow down!! When I'm going 25 as he passes me down hill going 40.. He
Must drive an M3.. GG guys i try to make Milpitas meet my lower back is hurting from all them down shifting to 1st for the cyclists. I didn't mind the hot black chick that had a ass wider than my 280mm tire on my bike.. Man that was a treat!

Cheers!

Vector locked and confirmed. That's near Mosquito Ridge already have a scouting party (no s2k members ive offered are willing to do a 19hr treck to gauge the conditions) its aight though less syncing to do with a new rider/driver. However if we and the group are not synced or at least have a full understanding of each others riding style by end of day
I don't know if what will

Current group going myself, My Best Man BMW 3 series. And a ex special forces high school buddy and his wife parametric with tactical H2 with a 10klbs crane mounted on the rear with full emergancy light package, Naturaly the coast guard and local authorities have been notified of the event and are trying to secure a media permit to close parts of the road down for 20 to 30 mins to see the danger areas our chase car needs to make sure they check once (if ever a big group hits this epic run) the big run comes.
