Default I Just Ran Angeles Crest (1st Time)

Hey guys,
As some of you know I'm new to SoCal......A friend of mine,who is also an S2 owner and rides bikes professionally,took me up to Angeles Crest for my first time.......OMG!!!!!!!!!! I'm hooked,after we ran most of the mountain we stopped at the Mile High cafe,then he took me on some back road twisties alot of the sportbike guys run.....


It was like crack!I can't put into words how sick those roads are.........My face hurts from smiling the whole time......It's now 8:30 pm,we ran up the mountain around 7:30 am and I'm still super juiced.......

I don't know guys,SoCal,the mountain roads,and my S2k.............I'm hooked for life...........

Just be careful! Plenty of horror stories in our car.

My good friend was hooked until he crashed. $2000+ job really makes you think twice.

Autocross is not too expensive and fun too. May want to try.

Just my .02

Come out to 818 Boba on Thursday nights. We do Angeles Crest afterwards sometimes too. That is, if you live closeby.

AC is a great little drive!! You also may want to check out Glendoras Ridge... Thats also a canyon that will make you poop your pants!

There's plenty of great places to experience your "S" here in the So. Cal area. Just remember that all those smiles can disappear if you're not careful. Drive aggressive , but safely.
