Weekend of Street Riding

[KTMrad 512]

So last Saturday I met up with another XR1200 rider in Lakeside. We rode up Wildcat to Old Julian to Santa Ysabel for gas. Then Mesa Grande and up the fast side of Palomar.

Waited for a guy named "Fast Kevin" from Orange County on his Kawasaki Lime

Green painted XR1200 with all the trick mods. He's an ex roadracer, and

supposedly very fast.

2 CHP were on the mountain......one cruiser and one moto-cop.

We went down the tight side, then up again (he had a helmet cam setup)......but

we caught up to a CHP cruiser going up Palomar about 2/3 of the way up, so we

turned around and back down. Then up again. Kevin had his video cam recording,

but he had it at the wrong angle.........I led, but you can barely see me in the

video......so it's not even worth sending you the link because it's a crappy video due to the angle.

Guy's name is "Fast Kevin" for a good reason........he is FAST !

Anyway, then down to the Hideout for a beverage and home.

Sunday, decided at 1:00pm to go for a ride, so Laura and I took a quickie to the

Hideout and on the way home stopped at a friend's house, he had a BBQ that afternoon.

Good, fun weekend of haulin' in the twisties !

Safe for whom? Some say "speed kills." I say it's the sudden stops...
