So my brother, Steve, and I were driving around in the country and we came upon one of those hills that at the right speed make your tummy feel funny as you go over the crest and Steve smiles... so we turn around , go back to try it again and all of a sudden he giggles... now if you know Steve... well, anyway he turns it loose and we are really getting up a head of steam and I'm thinkin' of asking him about the turn right after the peak when he starts giggling again... I knew to cinch up my seat belt. As we reached the crest we went up... and up... with the road turning off to the right, we both rather knew that this was different. The hood was pointing to a big green thing that finally registered and my right foot tromped onto the imaginary passenger brake pedal. Steve, still staring ahead calmly said, "This will probably really mess up the paint job.", and giggled. http://www.bergall.org/temp/venture/upatree.jpg

Long before I had ever heard of "The Dragon", there was "The Crest". I rode Angeles Crest Highway on my Yamaha 400 and in my Triumph Spitfire. We used to say we were going "flying". Truly one of the great roads I have ever ridden. It is reopened now after being washed out by floods a few years ago. I would love to get back there one day an enjoy the ride again! http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-crest19-2009may19,0,6585700.story
