I am looking for some people to ride with in LA (Venice, Santa Monica, Hollywood, The Valley, Silver Lake ,Echo Park, etc.) | ||
| Tdiddy |
I'm in the the area, New Bury Park. | ||
| Semirgdj |
cool Where do you ride mostly? also when? Where exactly is New Bury park anyway? | ||
| Stevasaurus |
Newbury Park is just the other side of Thousand Oaks. I refer to it as "Amgentown".  | ||
| Tdiddy |
I work at Amgen. Mulhouland Hwy is an everyday ride. I work nights so I do mostly afternoon rides. | ||

I live in "west-LA" or "rancho park" no one really know which one it is... Basically at the intersection of the 10 and the 405. I usually ride on fridays, usually from 10am to sundown... And our generic route is as follows: PCH north Right onto topanga left on "tuna canyon"/the street with the fire station after the liquor store. right on Saddle peak down stunt left on mullholland then pause at the rock store then do a few survey runs of the stretch between the the rockstore and the observation platform Then do a bunch of runs up and down between the rockstore and the platform. Then eventually head back. Anyone is more then welcome to join... Just let me know | ||

| Ejiii |
I live in the Torrance area. | ||
| Tdiddy |
It looks like there's a few Buellers that live within a hours ride. | ||

We should set up a group ride... What time of the week is best for everyone? I try to avoid sat/sun as there are too many people out... | ||
| Tdiddy |
My schedule is totally back-asswards. I work a 12 hour shift on a two week rotation. Most days, if I'm not going to work at 6pm, I'm in the canyons. | ||
| Semirgdj |
I work at 5pm M-f So I have everyday free. I am open to ride anytime. | ||
| Semirgdj |
We should set up a group ride... We should set up a group ride It would be good to have a core group of Buell owner/ riders to ride It would also be good to swap tech info. etc... I think it would be a benefit to us all and our bikes. | ||

} I live in "west-LA" or "rancho park" no one really know which one it is... I'm in. I can ride on Fridays but only to 3pm (I have to work @5pm) So I will have to cut out a little early I will shoot you an email later in the week | ||
| Tdiddy |
Sounds great! I'm in also. | ||
| Interex2050 |
Excellent! Lets aim for the upcoming friday (actually with regards to time... there are two options really, leave before 3ish or stay till sundown... otherwise traffic will ruin the day) Were should we meet? I would suggest the Chevron station on PCH/Sunset... | ||
| Interex2050 |
Also forgot to ask... Is anyone going to go to the Track Day at Willow that Glendale is organizing? | ||
| Semirgdj |
Yea, I want to go to the Track day as well.I would love to carpool with some one. Would you like to carpool? Also where do I sign up for the track day? As far as where to meet... The Chevron (pch/sunset) sounds good to me What Time? | ||

Harley-Davidson/Buell of Glendale invites you to join us for a track-day on the Streets of Willow Springs on Monday, June 25th. We will be joining our friends at Hypercycle for a day of riding, instruction, education and some friendly sport riding on one of southern California’s best tracks. With over 15 turns in 2.5 miles of looping asphalt, the Streets of Willow Springs has a little bit of everything from sweepers to chicanes and a banked 180 degree turn. If you have never participated in a “track day” before, the first thing you should know is this is not a race. The day is an opportunity for you to enhance your skill level in a safe, predictable and fun environment. You will learn more about you and your motorcycle in this one day than in months or even years of riding on the street. The group will be split into 3 groups, whichever you prefer to participate in: Novice, Intermediate and Expert. Requirements:A full face helmet Full finger gloves A full leather suit, or leather or Gortex pants and jacket that zip together. (Suit rentals are available at the track if you don’t have one.) Boots (over the ankle) Good tires All lights/turn signals must be taped (this can be done at the track) In order for your track experience to be as safe and enjoyable as possible, we recommend that you replace your tires and brake pads if they have not been changed lately. You will be using them both a lot! Our parts experts can walk you through the many tire options we have available. Don’t wait for the last minute. Registration Info: Register at www.hypercycle.com. When completing the forms online, enter “racer” in the Discount Code, and type in “Buell of Glendale” in the box immediately above the discount code. The price will be $112.50 If you have any questions or concerns at all, please contact Mario at 818 246-5618 ext 109, or email me at Mario@glendaleharley.com We hope to see you all there! Your friends at Harley-Davidson/Buell of Glendale. 818 246-5618 Links: www.glendaleharley.com www.willowspringsraceway.com www.hypercycle.com That is all the info about the track day... This time just register at hypercycle.com Carpooling is always handy... As the time approaches, we will figure out who goes with who and such We go there the night before (leave around 9-10pm) and camp out in front of the main gate, that way we are well rested before the track day and have plenty of time to set up... Friday... well lets meet at about 10ish, by then usually all the morning traffic dies out | ||
| Tdiddy |
I'm planning to attend the track day too. I haven't signed up yet. I wish I could make it on Friday but I'm working Thursday night and Friday night. Starting work at 6pm is way to early to have any sort of a life. I'll make the next one for sure. | ||
| Interex2050 |
Just to double check... Who is still up for the ride on friday? | ||
| Moonrunrs |
I'm in Mar Vista/Santa Monica! | ||
| Interex2050 |
So I am wondering if anyone is up for a ride tomorrow... If not I may not be going, some carbs need rebuilding... Just let me know asap | ||
| Semirgdj |
I can go either way I need to do some idle adjustments on my bike. Maybe a few hour ride instead of an all day thing? like 10:30 till 1:30 | ||
| Interex2050 |
sure lets do that | ||
| Semirgdj |
I will be at the chevron at PCH and sunset 10:30am | ||
| Interex2050 |
See you soon | ||
| Semirgdj |
I am out... I can not make it today. Sorry Guys Something just came up. Next week for sure though. | ||
| Tdiddy |
I'm not working next Friday night and I want to ride. | ||
| Interex2050 |
Alrighty I guess we shall figure out a time and place as friday approaches... | ||
| Tdiddy |
I got the night off on the 24th. so I can go to the track day on the 25th. Can't wait. I'm demoing my kitchen this weekend for a remodel so I won't be able to ride. After I get off work (at 6am) I taking the long way home past the rock store. |
