Calif Trip, Back home

[GeorgeS]

Back from Calif Trip, ( Car trip, not bike ) . Pretty good weather.

 

I got to ride my favorite Old Roads, from High School days.

 

" Aliso Canyon Road " -----

 

" Big Tujunga Canyon "--- Calif. SR-2 Via , Angeles Crest Highway.

 

And, " Little Tujunga Canyon "

A couple of the Best rides in the Los Angeles, Ca. area. ( link-- http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/LittleTujungaRd.htm )

 

Little Tujunga canyon is one of the featured rides, on Pashnit Tour's.

 

Ride was on a 97 FLH, very well broke in , high milage, Very well maintained, old war horse. ( belongs to sister and Her hubby ) Quite a hand full of bike on that winding road !!!

 

-----( 2 ea. photo's attached )

 

There was a massive number of riders on these two roads, last Sunday.

Back in 1959 and 1960 I might pass 4 or 5 bikes running these two roads, ( on my old 47 WL, or 55 matchless, and 60 Puch ) But this trip, must have passed at least 100 bikes or more running the road. Saw one group of at least 30 Vintage,and new Triumphs. ( no police were encountered, or seen )

 

Total ride was only about 125 miles, but it was a great ride !!

 

If anybody is interested, my new 08 TrailBlazer Averaged 21.58 MPG, for the entire 2550 mile trip from SEA to LAX and back. It has the Inline 6 engine installed.

Average Fuel Price, up and down the West Coast, was about 2.35 per gallon.

 

OK, thats done, now time to cut the grass, and wash the cars !! And rideing season just around the corner, get those tune ups done folks !!!
