I had such a great time on the 2010 LA run that I'd like to organize one in San Diego. If you live in the area and would be interested in organizing or going on a ride, PM me or answer here.

Yes, I was thinking OB to La Jolla and back too. See what you can do to find some more peeps in the area. I moved up to Rancho Bernardo not too long ago. I'm ALONE up here. NEVER see other MBs.

I ride often down in OB and MB but haven't seen other MBs down there lately.

tracking down rogue mb'ers is like stalking gazelles or something. slow moving, smokey gazelles.

everytime i see someone around here, i'm either in a hurry, or can't stop for some reason.

need to lay some traps...

Ya-hoy-hoy!

I'm a SD person! Hey Maxvision, where in RB do you live? I'm over here off of Rancho Bernardo Rd. and Pomerado. Next to the Albertsons. I'm way down for some SD rides, I just need to get my first ride built.

Just found an American Flyer Coupe Deluxe SS on CL, and am in the process of getting it and an engine together. Maybe we could meet up and exchange some ideas?

Well, I can't ride as of yet, but if you can make it up to the Poway area, I'd be happy to go over your fuel system with you (if it starts to act up again).

I've got a lot of experience with little engines. Worked for Harbor Island Yacht Club, and they have about 17 22' boats with small 2 stroke outboards on them. lot of carb fixes.... Oh, the horror.... What have I gotten myself into? :p

I am in San Diego in Golden Hill. My first bike should be done in a few weeks. A few weeks after that the motor should be broken in and then I will be ready to ride.

Quick question for the local riders.

If I can secure a race venue in San Diego how many people would be willing to attend?

There would be a cost associate for riders and a lot of work to get things organized. I would most likely be reaching out to enthusiast to assist with running the event. I am talking more of an official race with qualifying, classes and heat racing than a fun run race like the Death Race. In this event I would need race race marshals, corner workers, track marshals and maybe even some people to do a quick tech inspection.

I envision the race as being part of a weekend rally that could include local rides and music similar to the local Mods vs Rockers rallies.

I have already reached out to the venue and the board of directors is going to look at the event and so far the idea has been warmly received....cross your fingers.

San Diego CA,
I havent been riding long, but so far only one cop has sat behind and followed me for a while, then he just pulled along side me and gave me a thumbs up. depends on the cop! Just don't get caught going over 30mph on flat ground. Check out page #3 in the DMV's motorcycle drivers handbook.
