Stop over to Beagle's house this morning after coffee. Gotta tell you my bro Beags was in need of a ride. He was off on a rant about the boys ( Dutch and Milo ) diggin up a plant or something. So I needed to run over to Moreland Choppers and pick up an Adjure flush axle I ordered for LD and convinced him to come along. Since the Kraken is only a mile from Moreland's we had to stop in for a Bloody. Well we got there and Hell Bound Choppers was having " an event " After 40 years of this life my idea of an event is somewhat different than what was going on there, but nonetheless there was some nice bikes, nice folks and of course some female scenery to gaze at. After a couple of Bloody's off we went. We hit I-5 above Cardiff and there were 6 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic. Well as Big Daddy can tell you, that's the green light to let your freak hang out and ride SoCal style. Started out easy enough, maybe 60 mph weavin through traffic, then as the gaps between the cars got wider we stepped it up so by the time we got to Sorrento Valley and the exit for Highway 56 we were doing an easy 90 or so. Had to work through a couple of lights before we hit the 20 mile stretch of open highway on 56 between I-5 and I-15, but once we were clear of that it was Hell Bound for sure. Watched my speedo needle go by 120 till it came to rest on the L of the words Harley-Davidson between 0 and 120 on the speedo. Ran the tach to 6200 in 4th, 5th and 6th just for the fun of it and still with one exception I was mostly hanging back watchin Beags run. Had to run it by him once just for pride's sake. My bro's been down for a bit and it was great to see the smile on his face and share the ride with him. Couldn't have asked for it to be any better
