Jan 01, Dawn Patrol Run, first one for 2013, GMR/Baldy/Breakfast Options

[phatnine11]

Can anyone think of a better way of ringing in the new year than a run up GMR to Baldy then out for breakfast? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) What say you! If anyone is interested, we can meet @ the Starbucks in the shopping center on the corner of Lone Hill and Route 66 @ 06:30. With a little luck, we can head up by 07:00. On our last run we hit a diner in Rancho Cucamonga, I believe they are open on New Years day. I figure most folks might be sleeping a party off or watching the Rose Parade. Any thoughts?

AKA a Whiskey Bump. Everything was going just a little too smoothly. No breakdowns, no "out of gas" conditions, no traffic. Just balls to the walls fun. The turns are such that a 1.7 is as good as a six. Anyway back to the story. So were tooling up the mountainside and come across this guy slumped over the wheel. We had to wait for the CHP officer for what seemed an eternity. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) I suggested that we tie him to the bumper with a note and get on with our ride but was quickly vetoed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) It was a blast and the final run for Blackie with her current configuration. After a year of tune, tune, re-tune, cuss, fuss, muss, praying, more cussing, fingerpointing, backtracking and ultimately having a very stable idling and running DJet, (balanced, EuroSpec, Raby cam /911 valve train combo, 90 hr's on the rebuild) I sold the drivetrain today. It will be awhile before Blackie is back on the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
