bigred3 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 It seems that a dedicated thread for FJs in SoCal is in order... Post your SoCal pics, best routes, location, meet-up, favorite restaurant, or whatever! Today I went out for a fun ride up Highway 33 to Pine Mountain Inn. Took the 101 to the 23 freeway; then Grimes Canyon to Fillmore; on up to Santa Paula and then to Ojai. It's a phenomenal ride! Would love to meet up with other FJ owners.

Guest eatpasta Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Those are all great areas. Some of my favorites, really. I used to do my "Five Counties" ride from LA to SB. Up Bouquet cyn, up through Frazier Park, onto Carrizo Plain, back down the 33 and 150, 192 into SB. Its about five hours but a blast to ride! Los Angeles County, Kern, San louis, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. I unfortunately dont have much time to ride these days, but it wont always be that way....

barbarrino Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hey Guys, I live in Pasadena. I just purchased my FJ on Saturday. I am an experienced rider headed out to Chuckwalla this weekend to track my ZX6-R. I ride down to South county pretty often to ride Ortega and see other friends. Hope we can all ride someday.

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted June 9, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 9, 2015 I am busy with Corvette runs the next two weeks, but will post up a ride after that if you guys are interested. Maybe a nice cool ride to wrightwood via the 2 meeting at the base of Lower Big Tujunga? We need to get my wing man Ty on board also.

Premium Member keithu Posted June 12, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2015 Glad to see that the Pine Mountain Inn is still there! I used to ride up there all the time when I was in the Navy stationed at Point Mugu 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member paladin Posted August 8, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 8, 2015 Pine mountain inn is closed but still there. In some way they pissed off the county and got shut down. They are trying to reopen. What a shame, they even had a sat phone to call for help, there is no cell service for many miles. But they are still a great place to take a break.

Guest bruinfj09guy Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 What's going on guys? Glendale here and interested in meeting up with local riders. I've got my eye on the 2 up to Wrightwood for sometime in the near future. Either before or after I replace my nearly bald rear with 5500 miles.

docsimple Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Giant blind worms are fighting Kevin Bacon? You won't be going all the way to Wrightwood on 2 until spring. Closed for a slide and likely not opening until spring. You can still go up to Newcomb's and past it but will have to turn around. The back way is a nice ride, Angeles Forest - Mt. Emma - Big Pines Hwy - etc. Another heads up: Vasquez Canyon has had a Tremors attack and is closed east of Bouquet Canyon. 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bruinfj09guy Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Dam! Thanks for the heads up. It will be interesting to see what becomes of that if we actually do have a wet winter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted January 6, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hey, really like that ride described - 101 to the 23 freeway; then Grimes Canyon to Fillmore; on up to Santa Paula and then to Ojai. After that have you tried to go up 33 to Lockwood valley and if you have the time take the alternate road -> Hudson Valley Ranch/Mt. Potrero Road to Frasier Park? Some snow maybe this time of year but you do not have to cross the roaring stream at Lockwood Valley Road turn off. Has anyone had to cross that Lockwood Valley road stream under a small-medium current n the Spring?...it takes some guts man! {I do not have much really since I almost fell in the first two times across just looking at the road disappear beneath me and imagining green algae coating my tires and slipping everywhere!} Yes, go slow and do not brake, accelerate, or turn and you should be fine. Enter at about 10 mph or less. Haven't done it on the F-Jay as the roads have been very dry, but it is raining now and should have loads of water for a while. Oh, welcome from Northridge.
