Today I am making my way back from a rained out ride on W.33..I am riding with my riding partner, we are riding matching RC51s, and we had on full gear. Come up 495, about 5 riders in front of us. They are all sporting R1s and tee shirts, and one of them had on a mesh jacket. As soon as they so us, they jacked up to about 90 mph and started doing stand up wheelies. WTF?? Then they looked at us as if to say "your turn"..I shook my head.
My buddy and I just stayed in formation doing about 75 mph..Oh, they had nazi helmets too.
BTW, on the way back, we did a real mellow run through 211. And I am glad it was mellow, we passed two radar units sitting at very sneaky locations on the mountain. One of them is right where you leave the bridge, and go downhill. The speed has been lowered to 45 mph. You dam near have to coast to go through at that speed. I did coast with the front brakes on, and I did 37 mph pass the radar unit. Dam near got a ticket for going too slow!!
