Hi, everyone.

During the riding,
I saw the mirror and found very interesting scene.
Didn't noticed how the road was when I was passing.
So, here you go, took the picture.

Another mirror shot.
Very very twisted road.
As I said, I didn't noticed while I was passing.
Interesting....um...

Hey dude, you can put all of your pictures or most of them anyways on one post. Instead of putting one on each post.

BusyWeb 09-20-2008 10:18 PM

Re: Highway 2, Newcomb.s Ranch, Angeles Forest, Crest Forest
 
There are few bikers pass by...
I thought that I was alone there.

O.K. Easy Rider,,, I try to post pictures in one post. (but 5 Max. in a post)

This is The Only Restaurant on the Angeles Crest Highway.
About 70 Miles??? don't remember.
And many tourist SHOULD stop here...??? may stop here..
Anyway, here they give people FREE Internet Access with WiFi.
That's very kind because there are no good Cell Signal or Data Signal.
I tried but no success, however I could use my mini laptop and posted a topic this afternoon.
Top most post is the one I think.

BusyWeb 09-20-2008 10:38 PM

Re: Highway 2, Newcomb.s Ranch, Angeles Forest, Crest Forest
 
Now, I passed the top hill.
After passing this tunnel, will go down hill ............
Can you find my bike from the last picture??

BusyWeb 09-20-2008 10:49 PM

Re: Highway 2, Newcomb.s Ranch, Angeles Forest, Crest Forest
 
ROAD CLOSED, at about 40 miles of riding.
Couldn't finished all the road today, next time, maybe next year.
Winter time, it is required 4WD or Chain on Cars...um..
It was a good riding with GZ205.
Been there with cars couple of times, but today's riding is the most enjoyed driving.
Hope you guys enjoyed too.
There are more more more good places to share with you on Angeles Crest Highway,
however I couldn't take pictures.
Actually, couldn't fill in the camera frame....

Thanks
Good Night.

Thanks Patrick...
I'm getting accustomed with curverd road. :)
However, I couldn't get more speed at the curvered road.
Whenever I met the twisted roads, even though I tried to speed up, my instinct does not allow it.
Speed downnnnnnnn, my body tells. ha ha ha :cry: :cry: :cry:
I think that A LOT OF PRACTICE required to overcome those feeling.
I'm waiting more practice for next coming weekend too, hopely better riding..
Thanks again.

Hello, members.
I found an Identified Flying Object (IFO) from one of my pictures.
Let me post original big size picture here.
Anyone figure it out???
I thought that is some dust on the camera lens, but it is not.
Just for fun!!!
Object location is 3/5 of width and 2/5 of top.

BusyWeb 09-22-2008 10:30 PM

Re: Highway 2, Newcomb.s Ranch, Angeles Forest, Crest Forest
 
Um, guess nobody found what it is.
Answer: Bee (they are harvesting honey from flowers)
Amazing that BEE does not have an engine but they come over this high mountain.

For the another fun!
I found another Identified Riding Object (IRO), ha ha ha, from one of the yesterday's pictures.
Let me post original size photo.
This time, I give you a hint, this identity is on some kind of transportation machine.
Location: 5/6 of width, 1/3 of height
I didn't know this IRO is on the camera frame when I took this picture....
