Hey what kind of bike is that?

AWCGROUP · 04-21-2015, 12:56 AM

bmw s1000rr.

I need to finish a trip of Angeles Crest one day... back and forth...

Wonder how long that will take

AWCGROUP · 04-21-2015, 01:23 AM

the road is still closed up to about 10 miles from wrightwood. once it opens (this month) its a pretty cool ride.

on the bike it takes us about 25 min to get up to newcombs ranch.

The whole trip from my house (15 minutes w/o traffic from the La Canada end of the Crest) to the end of the 66 miles of awesomeness then take the freeway back to my house took me 3 hours. I went randomly without checking if the whole Angeles Crest was open and I was lucky enough that it was all open. Just be mindful of faster drivers/riders coming from behind and rocks on the road.

Ahhh, I kinda miss it up there.

My favorite part is when I had to drive through there for some work shit, and they'd be riding ass for a couple miles till I could get in the turn out, and then I'd see them standing by their car after it went over the side, or in a couple cases, flipped over miles down the road.

I can't help but laugh.

Vectors2final · 04-21-2015, 07:00 AM

Just watched...

around nine minute mark.

EDIT: I'm watching Scarface this weekend, dammit.

awesome pics!

Getting low on that RR. I had one for about a year (got stolen), was never fully comfortable on it. Potentially too much bike for me.

Great look car and bike

SaMaster14 · 04-21-2015, 09:50 AM

Awesome video, thanks for sharing! When I'm in cali, I'm usually up at Mulholland Hwy/Snake/Piuma all the time. I have a couple of youtube vids up with my old 335is and one with my dad's SL550 (that car is NOT fun on the twisties....)

Also, I watched without sound, but what was the deal with that Audi? Was it a TTS or TTRS? Seems like you were going A LOT faster once you passed him?

Oh o.O

w/ a M3/M4 would you have to worry about gas? Or always have to full tank it?

No M3/M4 here. I did it with my 1er. It's not that far off from an M4/M3's fuel efficiency. I had a full tank when I left home and had 1/2 tank left when I parked my car at home. An E82's fuel tank capacity is a measly 14 US Gal. I'm pretty sure an M4 may carry at least 16. To be fair, I didn't drive my car hard for all 66 miles. I wish I could've driven my car hard but I had to consider the law, other creatures'/people's safety, and some turns were blind.

EDIT: The crest itself was 66 miles of turns. I drove 15 miles from home to the base of the crest. So I spend (66+15)*2 for simple calculation = ~162 miles.

i dont know about the audi. he was kicking a ton of rocks and wouldnt move over or turn out. i didnt pass him earlier because there are a lot of bikers on the road and they move very fast. i only passed him off the second ranger station as there is a clear view forward for about half a mile.
