I noticed the Rexers don't let you park in their group though...  :roll:
Or is that YOUR choice.  :monkeymoon:

My choice, I was going to stick my bike out front for the picture but did not want to stand out like a turd in a punch bowl!

Wouldn't it stick out more like a diamond in a litter box?  :beers:

Mongo:

I see you were up in the Angeles Forest ( not too sure where Bear Divide is ) but I was underthe impression that riding through there has gotten rather burdensome what with all the police. Last time I was up there, about a year ago, we saw more than a few LEO's and felt damned lucky to have gotten out of there without being pulled over. Mind you we gave them no reason to pull us over but since when has that stopped them. Word on the street is that they are real pricks about even the small stuff, like loud pipes. I have been told they simply look for pipes that aren't stock and ticket based on that. My friend got stopped and ticketed for loud pipes just cause his pipes looked funny. Lucky for him he is an audio engineer and he took a VU meter to court to prove the decible level. The judge said that wouldn't be necessary and dismissed the ticket.

So what say you about the ease of riding up there in regards to local law enforcement.

Bear Divide is up on Little Tujunga Canyon Road, nice little technical ride I like to do on the weekends for a short blast! The pictures were taken around point C on the map.


Ruff road but the Air Rescue station is on top of the mountain and the views are killer!

Thanks for the map. You just might be seeing me stealing a lap on your route here soon.

But what about the fuzz man?

Thanks,
