You sure you want to stop in Culver City? Sounds like a bad idea Police wise.

I can't wait. A lot of those streets I've never, and if it weren't for MR, would probably never frequent on a bike. Looks pretty awesome.

Yo pan-pacific seems like a good idea. During Crankmas the cops were chill there.

@crossbones- give me your email
@monovstereo - hopefully not on this ride.
@tinycities - the ride will end near the start, like a 2 minute bike ride away.

Yet another kickass, 2nd Friday kind of way to escape all the meaningless drama at the house!!!!
To me, it felt like CRANK Mob and the entire vibe of the '08 rides coming out of a timehole and re-indoctrinating itself to us.
Not to mention the weather was superb and my cop jacket was overkill for the mild climate.
WHAT A SHOW!!!!
bentstrider01.9.10 - 10:40 am
reply
Yeah Iain, great great ride man, well done!
Definitely have to agree w/ bentstrider about the vibe, it was really genuine MR- the route complemented it in the perfect way! Also so great seeing everyone out on the westside! :)

thanks guys! im glad that everyone had a good time. it was a lot of work planning it and pulling it off, and i couldnt have done it without my friends. thank you for making last night so much FUN!!!!
LAPD WEST DIVISION for being so incredibly cool with us.
BIG BIKE DAN for being the awesome person he is
BARLEYE, who helped me every step of the way
ET, who came up with the playlist

TARMONSTER, who can yell louder than me
SIKU for helping me plan the route
THE FILM CREW for handing out free water at the last stop

fun ride!!! i liked the first stop by the motor yard. it was weird that the cops seemed to be there right when we got there. at least they were cool. they probably just looked at like taking a break.
buckchin01.9.10 - 1:01 pm
reply

actually, the cops followed us from roxbury and pico until we went over the pedestrian bridge. we talked to them and i gave them spoke cards (which in retrospect, i realize were very ironic.)
big props to west la division for being awesome!

Its also ironic that the Dr Hunter S. Thompson ride was the same day as the Dr Thompson verdict.
