Make sure to find me when you get there. I've got some hood tricks to teach ya.

Hey gang, like Eddie said - I know that drive is gonna be a challenge, but I SO appreciate you making the effort....way to support the sport! I'll do my very best to make sure the drive is worthwhile and you all have a great trip.

I was in Havasu last week and I can tell you Joe and I pumped the helll outta this event - people are stoked and I think it's gonna be great!

If you are coming through Sacramento, and will be arriving around 5 or so Thursday, you are more than welcome to caravan with me. Just let me know and we can meet up...makes the drive with two way radios a little more entertaining/faster.

Speaking of which......I drive like a bat outta....while towing, so be ready to roll ;)

[Glory_Freestyle]

That would be fun, but I think we're going to be coming in on I-15.

[BlowStuffUp]

ill be getting there friday night around 10. lisa can you pm me your number? im only 12 years old, and very prone to getting lost while driving.

cant wait to meet all you crazy fellas. its going to be a blast.

[SN760]

Leaving Dallas Tuesday night, hope to be there Thursday midday. Brining the standups and quads. Parking the toybox on the beach (will have tow rope in hand as pickup is 2 wheel drive :biggrin: ).

Looking forward to meeting everyone, sounds like its going to be a great time.

[TEEEE]

Make sure to find me when you get there. I've got some hood tricks to teach ya.

Those performing hood tricks in the surf may be asked to leave the beach immediately. :clown:

What if I'm 10ft in the air while performing hood tricks????:noevil:

[TEEEE]

:haha:

The only thing you should be doing with your hood is making sure your straps are tight and the hood latch is locked!

[LBE]

hey lbe your letting me ride your fx too right??

I'll be passing the sign up sheet arround on Fri. The down side here is that you will all want an FX1 and youll make it harder for me to get parts.
:haha:

:haha:

Agreed!! Hand holds are for removing your hood to see what the F happened while you were 20 feet in the air upside down and heard that "pop".

:haha:

I crack myself up!

[LisaLisa]

Well, I can think of a few more things they are handy for....LOL!

But maybe I'll surf a wave in while on the hood, just for you and TEEE.

[LisaLisa]

That would be fun, but I think we're going to be coming in on I-15.

WOWIE! Just make sure if you come that way you DO NOT GO THROUGH THE GREATER L.A. AREA (unless you want to add about 3 hours+ drive time to your trip)

If I were you, (and you insist on taking I-15)...I'd head out of Vegas on 15 and catch 58 through the Tehachapi Pass, through Bakersfield and north on I-5 to Hwy 46 (Kettleman City) - then west on 46 to Paso Robles (166, 58, and 41 are narrow, winding, mountian roads I wouldn't touch with a 10 ft. pole while towing)...then go south on Hwy 101 through San Luis Obispo to the Grand Avenue exit in Arroyo Grande/Grover Beach.

Your alternate approach with much better scenery, and assistance available in case of any problems would be:

I-15 to Salt Lake City, then west on I-80 to Sacramento. South on I-5 from there to 46 (Kettleman City), over to Paso Robles, south on I-101 to Arroyoa Grande/Grover Beach (Grand Avenue exit all the way to the end/ocean)

Hope this helps....I'd feel terrible if you made this huge trek and got stuck in the middle of the desert or in horrific traffic in the LA basin.

See you in t-minus 10 days ;)

Well we don't insist on taking I-15, but from Denver, it looks like the best bet until the LA part. The bad thing about going to Salt Lake then to Sacramento and down is that it would add like 200 miles to the trip. We might be hauling Neil's 24 ft race trailer, so I'm not thrilled about 58 or 46 either. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Glory_Freestyle]

with much better scenery,

Does that mean I'd be riding with you? :cool2: :biggrin:

What the best route coming off I 40 to miss the La crap?

[infamy]

we will be leaving sacramento around 11am on friday.

[Glory_Freestyle]

Hey Lisa, how about this route?????

Might also work for the Texax Crew.

From I-15 take the PALMDALE ROAD / CA-18 W exit.
Turn RIGHT onto PALMDALE RD / CA-18.
CA-18 W becomes PEARBLOSSOM HWY / CA-138 W
Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto PEARBLOSSOM HWY.
PEARBLOSSOM HWY becomes SIERRA HWY.
Merge onto CA-14 S toward LOS ANGELES.
Merge onto I-5 N toward SACRAMENTO.
Merge onto CA-126 W toward VENTURA.
CA-126 W becomes US-101 N.

[LisaLisa]

Dude,

Anything near the LA basin is going to be a nightmare. The poor folks coming from southern Cali only have about 250 miles to cover, and it typically takes then 4 to 6.5 hours to make the trek....I have to be honest - I haven't been your proposed route, but still, it's well worth you while to avoid even heading over into that mess. I know 250 miles further sounds bad, but seriously, the roads are in such better shape up here, and it's a straight haul vs. mucho traffic....but your call. See the attached map for my sentiments:

YES Ma'am!!!! I'm basically just throwing out ideas because I don't know anything about that area, so you're advice and directions are more then appreciated.

So in your wise and expert advice,:hail: :hail: :hail: Option 1 is to go through Sacremento and option 2 is through Bakersfield, right?
How scarey would 56 be pulling a 24ft eclosed race trailer?

BTW, I owe ya big time for helping us out.

[LisaLisa]

we will be leaving sacramento around 11am on friday.

Coolio! We have a new victim, er....rider from SacTown coming to Pismo!!!! Do I know you?

LP

[LisaLisa]

Do you mean 58 through Tehachapi? It's not bad - I just prefer 80 as the road conditions are so much better (but it did get a light dusting of snow yesterday...then again, so did the Tehachapi)....bring chains ;)

If you meant 46, then it's still not bad -there are passing lanes and only one section that' a little narrow/winding.....you do need to pay attention for the coppers from Chalome to Paso Robles though. They like their radar guns there.

You guys can call me on my cell for specific details if you like (916) 308-7508. If you have blocked your incoming call ID I won't bother answering the call.....that's a Koe trick... But I will call you back if you leave a message. No jokes about my voicemail though - I currently sound like I've smoked a carton of ciggy's and drank a gallon of cheap whiskey - compliments of my 10 days in Havasu ;)

That path is a good one for anytime other than the morning(after 10 am).. I live near 18 and the 15... to save a little more time you can go down the 15 to the 215 west and stay on the 215 till it hits 5 north 126 west.. that will save you 30-45 minutes and keep you on the freeways.. you might hit a little traffic in ventura and santa barbara but nothing worth running 250 miles out of your way or sticking chains on..

[Glory_Freestyle]

Yes I meant 58, looking at the map too much.

[LBE]

Anything bad thing you have ever heard about LA traffic is not only true, but multiply it by 5. Not good.

But LP will keep you guys on the right track.

[Glory_Freestyle]

LP will keep you guys on the right track.

Yep. :biggthumpup:

Although, once we get there, I think that "track" will be a little scarey/demented. :bigeyes:

[Glory_Freestyle]

What the best route coming off I 40 to miss the La crap?


Looks like you guys will probably want to take the same route from Barstow as we are.

58 through the Tehachapi Pass, through Bakersfield and north on I-5 to Hwy 46 (Kettleman City) - then west on 46 to Paso Robles, then go south on Hwy 101 through San Luis Obispo.

Would you agree, Miss Lisa???

[LisaLisa]

If I were coming from that direction, yes......it's a little backtracking on paper, but I assure you, outside of having to behave yourself across 46 from Chalome to Paso Robles, you can pretty much haul asss and not have to worry about towing.

See, I'm learning.


TEXAS CREW, We should all get each other's cell numbers so we can get a hold of each other since we'll be on the same roads.

[LisaLisa]

I always drag along a handful of two-way radios..makes for cheap entertainment on long road trips........

This one time (at band camp), there was about 30 of us headed to Isla Morada, FL for a ride over new Years.....we accidentally intercepted some old guy's wife calling him about lunch while he was out fishing...she wanted to know what she should have ready for him when he came in.

Of course my buddy who does great impersonations picked up and told her he wanted a raw squid with Miracle Whip sandwich...and it had better be fresh!

I almost shat myself laughing when she bought it hook, line and sinker.

I can only imagine what you could do with truckers coming through Bakersfield ;)
