Sunday's Cooks Corner run was full of surprises! First off, congrats to Mike D for having a baby girl early sunday morning!
Thanks to all the riders that came out from all over Southern California, i think there were 30+ at one point with 30 strong most of the day. We had a bit of a change in plans once we were at Cooks. There were a couple of pigs checking helmets and bikes trying to drum up a little revenue. Luckily they split before making it to any of our stuff, so we jammed! We were also tipped off to a manned sound check on Santa Margarita, so all 30 something bikes took El Toro to the 5 Freeway to the Ortega, stopped for gas and to wait for stragglers.
It was a beautiful and fun ride up the Ortega to Hells Kitchen, hung out there for some food and drinks. Some people had to split by this time and some of us went down the Elsinore side for gas and then back up and over the Ortega. Good times, most of us were probably out on the road until at least 4 pm, my red nose proves it.
Stay tuned for next month, we want to do something a little different.
One of my favorite David Mann paintings is "In the Wind On a Friday Nite" Its an early one that depicts a group of bikers cruing down PCH into malibu. the background is so simplistic and beauthiful. Anyway I have wanted to ride up to Malibu for quite sometime now and finally had a good reason to and a destination. Neptunes Net. The wingnuts rode out there last sunday and I missed out. The ride up at sunset was lane-splittingly sweet(no point making this drive with a car-or saddlebags), but it got cold for our return, but thanks to Frank Kaisler and the easyriders/inthewind mags he kicked down I was just fine. One article talked about stuffing your clothing with newspapers as insulation-thank you "Malibu Times"
they fish and chips there were amazing(i used to only eat the kind of fish that came in a yellow box), and you can get a tallboy of COORS!
On my way home I stopped at the A&Z nutwagon in East LA. Been coming here since I was a little kid. The best beef jerky ever! Bought a pound for swapmeet provisions. and sunflower seeds and honeyroasted almonds and ...So glad I have a sissy bar. How did I ever live without it? 
rode out to the lbc to see Vagrant Vinny and the Instigators at Alex's, missed the show but saw a crazy fight. Met up with Beau on his sweet 72 CB 175. super low mileage cream puff. We hit the Pike just in time to see some old fat lady get real rowdy with one of the locals. The cholos in the apt. across the way were throwing rocks at her and then her keys got thrown on the roof. No ma'am i dont think i can get that for you. Would you believe Tommy's closes at 1am? How dare they. So off to the shore house in belmont. More drama. foxy drunk girls yelling at each other and showing everyone their panties. The baja chicken sandwhich there is quite amazing on the buttery croissant.
Why is my thigh cold and wet?
