Holy History Batboob!
If ANY of ya'll lived here you would be just as "fast" or faster.
Jester came here from TX and after two days on the Crest, his chicken strips were gone! JWCFBD came here and at the end of the FIRST day, chicken strips, Gone!
We're lucky enough to live in a place that has great roads and tracks that we can ride almost all year. I have the road below 10 min away from my house. It has 112 turns in 12 miles. I rode it 6 days in a row just to see if I could. It's all about the availability of places to practice.
I am new to this forum so I really don't want to PI$$ anyone off. I am a 53 year old kid who came home from a short ride today and did a block long wheelie for my older neighbors. I raced "Down Hill Mountain bikes" till I was 50. So ya I like to twist it up now and again. I guess I am a adrenalin junkie like these younger California kids. (I think its the water.)

Steve, I used to know a guy called Honda Steve that would be about your age...??? Had a custom Honda CB750 SOHC chopper. I'm in San Jose and you're really in the middle of the flatlands out there. Ever ridden 25 west from you? Take 152 to 156 into Hollister and then south. Connects again at 198. Been trying to get Ozz and the boys to come down but the days are so short during winter (and cold/wet sometimes) they'll probably wait till spring or summer. I frequently ride 25 and the Santa Cruz Mts and hiway 1. This weekend looks to have good riding weather around here though, 60s and sunny.
lets see some pics, besides, this thread is about why california has the best riders so lets see more best road pics
