I did a California ride trip. It was for the World Vets several years back. I picked up a truck just outside of LAX And rented a bike from Mike Metzger. We drove out to his house pick up the bike and went straight to Glen Helen. I got to practice one day and race two days, it was awesome. I gave Mike back his bike a little bent up (hammered) and he was a trooper. I did win something, so he was happy about that.
I remember we went up to Lake Arrowhead, that was pretty cool you should do that. It’s a beautiful drive. It seems to me we drove past Lake Elsinore through some mountains out to the Santa Monica pier as well. That was fun. We had dinner at the end of the pier.
It was absolutely the best Moto vacation. Pitted next to Jeff Ward, Who I raced against back in 1973 at the Jacksonville winter Olympics .... Jeff Emig straightened my sunglasses, and Jody Weisal told me to try and miss the bumps, “that’s how the locals ride here”. T-Boned Andy Jefferson for the win....sorry. (He had a flat tire on the last lap)....Guy B shots some nice pics of me too!
Great times.
