I know JP. It's been awhile hasn't it.. :ugg:

I'm going to try to put a Corona ride together pretty soon while the wildflowers are still here. It's awesome back in the hills right now. :thumb:

2strok4fun, I live off of Weir canyon on the south side of the 91, here's my cell #714-240-3753, call me Sat. and we can plan on following each other out. I'll probably leave around 7ish so I can gather some grub at the bottom of the hill, maybe Carl's or something. Look forward to hearing from you,
Elk

Wish I could make this ride, but riding with an 11 year old on a DS80 may pose problems. We a had a great time at Starwest today (well, at least I did) ;) . I think riding the pee wee track was more fun than the main.

A note to Tony Williams - I got one of those bogus tickets for driving in the wrong lane while towing a trailer (on the grapevine a few years back), just like the one you've just received. If I was able to make it to the ride, we could probably find a way to get even.

:laugh: :o :laugh:

Hey elk small world. Before I move here between Weir and Imperial off of Esperanza, I lived off of Santa Ana Canyon and Weir. Sure sounds like breakfast will work. I am still trying to see if my friend is coming along or not. My cell is 504-1938 I drive a dark blue F-150 supercrew.

looking forward to meeting more DRN'rs

I know what you mean. Saturday is poker night at my buddy the beer brewer's house. Let me know if you're going to go for it Sunday. 909 240-7002

Joker,
I'm thinking of going for it. It'll give me an excuse for being slow. At least it sounds like I won't be the only one that might be draggin out there, we'll just have to stick together. I'll give you a call Saturday.

Tony, bring some duct tape and some small water bottles and fill them with mixed gas.

I bought the 2 quart tank that straps on the handlebar crossbar. I'll bring extra oil, and I can drain out of the YZF for more gas.

Bought a new radiator for the YZ125... naturally, I got one for a 250??. I'll make it fit somehow (with hours to go).
