Southern CA FZ6-Forum members meet up - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

**sportrider** · 06-21-2008, 02:39 PM

after scanning the threads today I've noticed there is quite a few members in the same vicinity. it's time to do a west coast version of the "gap run".

I'm thinking, meeting up on a Saturday in Redlands. (Denny's on Alabama maybe) eat breakfast, run the canyon into hemet, take the 74 up to Idyllwyld, run the 371 through anza/borego, take the 78 to the 76 and stop at the Hideout for lunch(or just a coke and a brake) then hit Polly. after that run Mesa Grande over to the 78 and into Julian, then Banner Pass, Montezuma Valley Rd. and stop at Borrego Springs for another break. from there it's up in the air. I've done this ride a few times, it can be done in a day. If I remember correctly it'll be good for about 450 miles (+ or - a few depending on how many runs on Polly are made. this is just a rough draft of an Idea so I'm open for suggestions. also the route can be shortened if thats to far of a ride for anyone. but first things first, lets see how many members are up for a meet and greet first and go from there.

see ya in the twisties!!!

**nimzotech** · 06-22-2008, 01:58 AM

I'm down to ride this.

pchbreeze · 06-22-2008, 11:04 AM

I don't know where all those cities/roads/streets n sh.t is but you got me at 450+ miles...I'm in

**sportrider** · 06-22-2008, 11:47 AM

ok!!! we can work out what day so everyone can make it. I want to try and set up the line up so everyone has fun. (eg. faster riders at the front.) and then have someone who knows the route ride sweep( last bike) so that no one gets left behind. but lets see how many people are going to go first. I'd like to see everyone from So. Cal show up!!! we should be able to have at least 15 bikes if everyone is up for it.
also if your not a fast rider don't worry about it this isn't going to be a race, it's just about going out and riding with a bunch of "friends" and having a good time. and the route is some of the best twisties around as well as some breath taking scenery that San Jacinto mountains have to offer. so no matter what your riding style is you'll enjoy it!!!
so come on guys post up!!!!

Avalon786 · 06-22-2008, 11:54 AM

I'm down to ride, just give out a date and time and i'll see if i can make it

I just recently started to go on rides almost every week for the past month to Canyons nearby: Azusa, Santiago, Ortega, Palomar...As for my riding style i ride within my abilities

Not the fastest not the slowest, i lean my FZ6 as much as it will allow me to safely do so

Cali rider · 06-22-2008, 12:30 PM

When the date is set I can coordinate a group meet for the ride out to Redlands. Anyone riding from So. LA Co. or anywhere in Orange Co. can join up for the ~50 mile ride from here to the ride start.

Combat · 06-22-2008, 01:30 PM

I'm down for this

my only concern is my work scheduel.

**sportrider** · 06-22-2008, 01:43 PM

ok, how about July 12th.
I figure the weekend before is the Fourth of July and people will be doing family things, June 28th is this weekend and it would only give a weeks notice so might be hard to clear schudule. so hows that work for everyone?
