Just a heads up - lots of bikes to see and a nice ride too - Sunday AM in Los Angeles, CA at Hansen Dam 9:00 to see the bikes, 10:00 am ride starts. for details go to the so cal norton owners club web site for directions etc
 
been wanting to go to that for years. I thought I could go this year but I am stuck in Aruba on business . I came real close to being able to skip out by ytesterday and perhaps make it, it seems every year something pulls me away. Post some pics!!!

in the last year my life has been full of "next times".... It spissing me off lately. I keep telling myself that these trips will slow down etc but my teams so screwed up theres onlhy a few of us that can do the jobs. For a few years now every time I leave the weathers perfect, I miss stuff like motoclassica, hansen dam, motoGP, all kinds of cool stuff. Then my luck is when I get back the weathers trashed, rain, snow, or something crappy.

the destinations used to be a draw, now their a wash.

this time its aruba
limon
cartegena
grand cayman

Unless theres some Nortoneers out there in these areas!! Highly doubt it though :(

I do get to see some cool stuff
 
If all my electrons align, I'll be there. Was hoping to do the new exhaust headers (non-crossover, replacing the original crossovers on my 850), but I can't find anybody with the longer-thread early exhaust nuts. So I hope I fixed my leak with the old setup.
 
Was going to go, but went on a local ride around Chino instead. Glad I didnt go as got problem with oil leak from head that started up :(
 
Damn Jerry, you traded a ride through Carbon Canyon over the Hanson dam ride?? You are a odd duck. Sorry about your oil leak.you know I'm close if you need help. My friend Rich & I stopes by the Hanson show on our way up to Willow Springs for the Vara races. he just bought a hot rod GT Mustang so we stopes to see the bikes & then took the GT over Angelos Forest Hwy & chased some guys on Ducks. Both shows were great & Cheers to Bib for putting another great bike gig togeather, I didn't want to leave because every time I looked ten more amazing bikes were pulling in. Great show.
 
Sorry I missed ya. What do you guess, 500 people, 200 bikes?

The roads were thick with bikes; even after our two hour lunch in Aqua Dulce brit bikes going all directions.
 
handed out over 200 of ride buttons, and they ran out of them - and they were for only brit bikes i think 400-500 bikes total, bib was a little more optimistic - or had heat stroke :mrgreen:

i actually wasn't to crazy about the ride - just to many bikes ( lots of pudding bowl guys or harley cruisers ) - was a good time though if you were rolling outside of the main drive time - no one went to the ER which is always a good thing - i helped in the judging for bikes at the end, and got Bib excited when i showed him i had written my norton down as best in each category (BSA, Triumph, Norton) on a duplicate judging form- ha, sometimes its so easy to wind him up :shock:
