I'll say it again and again. You California boys are so lucky with your weather. We got like 3 or 4 more inches of powder last night and this morning. If I knew how to ski or board I'd love it. Hell I don't even want to drive my EP in this shit because of all the salt and sand they use. Great picture.

Yeah, I love the weather. These pics were taken around 5pm, sun down is around 5:30 during winter. It was nice, a good 75 degrees, mmm:D

Yeah, no kidding. 95 GSR took a few guys down this canyon last month and the 91 hatch took a turn just a lil too fast and ended up bouncing off one gaurdrail and hitting another.

[CleanBlackSi02]

I wish I had roads like that in FLorida.

[cease]

[Jpax]

[HeelToePro]

Ill tag along with you guys, where is it by the way?

[ep3guy]

Where is this at? I wanna cruise down there sometime.

[fyzm7357]

Damn, you are lucky to have those type of roads there....we have nothing even close to that here in Iowa....

[ULTRAMANIA]

damn.. awesome pics man... looked really fun. i wished i could have joined you on that road.. maybe one day.........heh..

[tsa1]

that looks tight
there is a road by where i live kinda like that.
but there is always to many cars and there are alot of house by the road, so you couldnt let your car lose there. and theres alot of cops too.
hey suk02si where exactly are you in LA

[kc2480]

how did you take those pictures? i thought you were alone???
haha anyways where is this place? im also in cali and would love to drive at that place!

[JSIR]

anyone see that Acura commercial of the guy taking his wife to see a home for sale, then he looks down at where he just drove and sees this wonderful maze of roadway ?. Anyone know if that is out in Cali somewhere, its about the only place it could be I think, anywhere near these canyons.

That is nice to have roads like that, very cool !.

[SiRman]

Nice pics!


I rode my bike(R6) down to the World Superbike Round at Laguna a year and a half ago. Hit some nice canyons.
Man the roads in Cali. are awesome. (Some good ones in Oregon too)

[SlickShoes]

Very nice! If anyone's down here in San Diego, DEFINITELY check out Sunrise Highway. Usually its totally deserted, nice new clean pavement in most areas, lots of uphill stuff (meaning not too high speed) but definitely not a place you want to make any mistakes so be careful.

And of course Palomar Mountain is always a helluva lot of fun. :D (http://www.pashnit.com/maps/palomar-usgs.jpg)

Also, here's a great map some of the motorcyle guys seem to like. (http://www.redhotriders.com/images/ride_map.jpg)

[ek9jdmhb]

damn you. i want to ride through that canyon too!!

[Suk02Si]

The road is Little Tujunga, it carves through the Angeles Natn'l Forest(where every rapist seems to dump their victims :rolleyes: ). It starts in San Fernando and ends in Saugus/Valencia.

Basically, it starts near the 210/118 fwys and end up just a little NE of the 5/14 fwys.

If you guys want, we can set up a mini meet and cruise up there with a bunch of cars. The most we've taken at one point were 7 cars including SpeedRacer, 95 GSR, DocofMind(with his S2K), and a few other friends.

The pics of me were taken by a passer in a 240 who I thought was a drifter:D He was drivin' like mad, but no drifting to be seen. :(

And everytime I stop to look over that turn, I think of that Acura commercial, "I'll take it!!"

[atl-si]

Very cool pics! Awesome!

[importhonda]

haha, that looked just like the ortegas down in OC.. very similar roads.

[golferjn]

nice pics, perfect place to take some turns, fun fun fun

ohh yes... i always remember that day. whenever i forget that day, i just look at my front bumper... i'll never a a pack of 7 cars again, esp. when its my 2nd time up a canyon:D

Guard rail came out of nowhere:rolleyes:

ill never go to canyon with glasses and HID head lights again..

[BlackJDMep]
