Orangeflash, I used to live in Apple Valley, in the Spring Valley Lake area. Has your car been sandblasted to death yet? I miss all of the motorcycle riding down there.
It has been sandblasted a few times but didnt hurt the paint. Yeah, I live really close to Spring Valley Lake. Where did you go riding at?

Nah, just really big feet. And you know what they say about guys with big feet, right?

(they...umm...have to buy really large shoes, that's all...)

btw, I also shift, signal, change the radio, and pick my nose with my right foot. (j/k)

I used to love to get crazy along the west side of the Mojave River bed, just south of the bridge the crossed over it near Target on Bear Valley Road, those hills are pretty fun, there is one cliff-type drop that was fun to go flying off of. I also used to love to start at Deep Creek and ride up above Arrowhead and back around Green Lake (sort of near Big Bear Lake) for my trail riding. There are so many places to have fun on a bike down there (used to occasionally ride the hills just off the 395 where it meets the 15).

I miss the great riding but I don't miss the windy afternoons. Do you ride?

I usually take my left shoe off, I have so much more clutch control without shoes
