So. Cal. Hooligans

San Diego beach towns will never be the same...... Nomad riders converge in Carlsbad for a meet and greet.

J.J., Dave, Tomk, Judi (V.V.) and Sir Nico himself (along with BD in full x-dress) partook of food and beverage in Encinitas!

This cozy get-together featured the first annual Nomad exhaust note Sound Off!

J.J with his Cobra longs sounded excellent! .................. TomK with his V&H baggers was right in there!

Dave had to put his ear-plugs in when Nico fired up the Red Monster!

(Dave also had to take the ear plugs out to hear BD's JetsonMobile at all!)
............[My Harley buddy Steve is still laughing... lol]

Thanks for the nice day guys!

[Dave]

It was great to meet everyone. Honda was wrong. You meet the nicest people on a Nomad!

[blowndodge]

Where Nico still has the title of the "Filthiest Nomad" ever! I'll never forget the look on JJ's, Tomk and Dave's face when they saw that piece of SH!T !! We decided that he shouldn't ever wash it as the dirt is probably the only think holding that monstrosity together!!!

Did any of you figure out what the upside down Spittoon was sitting on Nico's head? That wasn't a helmet was it??

[stambukj]

Great Day....Great meeting all, and a great ride. Heres a couple of pic's.

Meet the group

Thanks guys!

Oh, geeze! Which one of you guys is wearing the white pants and white sneakers? http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

This isn't Florida folks!

Wait a minute...63...huntington Beach...That's gotta be J.J., right?

[tomk]

That's Dave, Judy, Brad, Nico, Lisa (Nico's Sister), Steve (Harley Guy) JJ

And that's me taking the pic.

[Dave]

"Oh, geeze! Which one of you guys is wearing the white pants and white sneakers?"


That's me.

Actually, I've been known to wear white pants. On a sailboat. Not on a motorcycle, that I can recall though.

[blowndodge]

When it comes to stunk riding.............Dave has Dan Lundy beat from here to eternity!!! Trust me. Some people don't like to split lanes because of various reasons. I don't mind it if the traffic is bad and there is room. Have you ever seen a motorcyclist that can split traffic in an oncoming lane?? Dave can!!! He was trying to turn left in the middle of the highway and the driveway he was planning on turning left into was further up the road. Whats he do? he proceeds to ride against traffic, splitting lanes as 12 cars passed him on both sides in the opposite direction! Totally screwed me up!

I hope to never witness that again!! LOL!!!

[Dave]

You won't.

[coacha]

Looks like you guys had a blast. Maybe someday I will have the chance to meet all of you.

[blowndodge]

It would be a priviledge coacha

Meet, yes.
Ride with? Eeeeehhhh....

The jury's still out on that one.

I hope that at some point I can get away long enough to travel west some time. From what I remember, we are having a National Rally next year but it will be in the fall, so I'm out for that because of football, unless of course, I get fired, lol.

Thanks for the pics guys. Man I am so ready for warm weather.That is one of the things I think of when someone mentions California to me during the winter.

[stambukj]

Yea it was only about 98 in the shade today...

Yup. My head under the helmet felt like that pic you have under your name. Both arms are fried from sunburn.

[Top Cat]

So have you givin Dave a new nickname? Like "Suicide Dave"

Looks like you guys had a good time!!

[socwkbiker]

Nah, I wanted to see how short Nico looked in comparison to real people. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif I also wanted to see if you brought your boyfriend on the ride. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[blowndodge]

You sound like the motorcycle cop in "Wild Hogs". Missing out on the action?

[stambukj]

Maybe something a little shorter Nico, say 20 stories???

It ain't you guys. It's that wild man Dave!

[blowndodge]

Dave needs your help!!!!

Maybe you could get Nico to score him some Prozac, but I'm not sure how I could help without sabotaging his bike.

(Are you sure he's the only one of you that rides like a wildman?)

http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[tomk]

And Dave, being my friend and Brad's, and Nico's, and JJ's is affected how?

And this site is for picking on who?

[stambukj]

All I can say "Wild Man" or not, the Hooligan's are ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE, thats the So Cal way, anyone don't like it, oh well. Pick on the the Nor Cal guy's!

[blowndodge]

I think Caddmann's just funnin' us on account of Dave's "miracle"! But we are a good group that's for sure! Can't wait for round 2,,,3............4........KawaNOW!!!

OK, I didn't want to start no big NorCal/SoCal thing here. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif
You all have my apologies and my best wishes.
My only real "problem" with SoCal is that I really do not like big cities.
I am overwhelmed by all the traffic etc.

[blowndodge]

Cad, I'm not destined to live in so cal forever either. That's one of my missions on the Mesquite ride. I have a very good friend in St. George that wants me to look a property. Your are 100% right that big cities suck; however, where we live in so cal in one hour's ride we can be in the snow in the local mountains or at the sunny beach on the coast or in the desert. Except for the unbelieveable idiots that live hear, we are second to none in variety of topography. Makes riding tolerable.

[blowndodge]

BTW, I just figured my gas mileage. 45 miles of slow city driving, 131 miles of 70ish on the highway. Gas light finally came on on the way to work this morning right in front of the 76 station. 176 total miles on tank. 4.503 to fill halfway up the filler neck. 39.09 mpg average. .8 gallons left with light comes on. I gotta remember to stop like right now when the light comes on!!

I hate the big city too...... that's why we ride.... to get out to the country or the mountains!! Coastal beach runs are nice once in a while too..


btw..... a little NorCal / SoCal war.... (all in good humor with brothely love) is fine with me!!!!! :-*

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWCH!! THAT HURT!!

[tomk]

38.68 overall gas mileage at about 80ish BRAD. I don't think we did 70 when we followed a truck.

Not bad for having the mods on there.

You have nomaditis visualis. It's treatable. The Nomad halucinations will stop after you get home. Double dose of beer is in order.

[blowndodge]

Are you licensed to prescribe these medicinal potions???

It's because of the Twisted riders on them!

Need an alignment from Nico...?

Hoping for a nice day tomorrow, Sunday..... gonna ride come hell or high water!!


Monday gonna ride in a large group with So. Cruisers..... never ridden with a large group where you have to stay in formation..... so used to riding with a few friends where we can change who leads at any time.... take off and let the Nomad run when she wants.... the more I think about it, I may get claustrophobic!! On the last ride up to Tom's Farms, we fell in behind a large group and followed them in formation for a few miles.... finally couldn't take it any more and took off around them............... this may be the first and last time.

[ringadingh]

Riding in formation can be either pleasant or a nightmare. I go on a ride each summer were there are people who wander all over the lane and leave huge gaps because they can't maintain a steady pace with the lead bike. There is another group I rode with, and it was great, everybody kept up the pace and spacing and there was no accordion effect going on at all. It was a much better ride.

[Idaho]

Nico, how are you going to handle riding with us through Zion NP?

[blowndodge]

Lots and lots of Prozac.............

[Idaho]

Nico + Nomad + drugs = one scary thought

Think I will ride in last place.

[blowndodge]

That would be a great idea bud.............waaaaaaaay back there!
