12-19-2006 Busa Boys terrorize Gorman with Honda Pilots. Myself and
Busa Ray loaded up the Honda Pilots at about 8am, ate breakfast, and
then headed up to Gorman. We stopped in Sherman Oaks at Scot's Gym to
drop of some stuff for the Hayabusa he is building. We had the pilots
of the trailer by noon and it was on! I have never riden a Pilot before
so we started off by keeping it mellow and doing high speed laps around
the campground to warm things up. I am sure the other campers were already
loving us because after we came back from our first ride they had already
relocated. Of course we had to do a few more laps around the campground
again. We were bundled up tight as it was about 48 degrees out there
most of the day. We went on a ride that tooks up up into where it snowed,
and you could also view the 5 freeway at the top of the grapvine from
that location. We came across some deer and we tried to heard them but
we quickly realized that deer are not sheep and don't like to be hearded
so we bailed on that idea. We did see them later on again in the day
and I am sure they were glad to see us. You could get really close to
them they are offroad vehicle friendly deer and didnt really run to
far away when you come by them. Early on I tried some hill climbing
and pulled off my first one but then attempted on that was way out of
my league and within one bounce I was chucked off the path and onto
a ledge and after I kept spinning the tires I managed to high center
myself. Not Good! Busa Ray got out and hooked up a rope to my Pilot
and pulled me out of my rut. We did a few more hill climbs and terrorized
the place a little more and then headed back home. In all we rode from
12 to 4:30 with a half hour break. Good living for sure this was up
there on the 10 most fun things I have done in my life! Can't wait until
the next trip.
Here is a video clip
of some hill climbing, burnouts and me getting stuck.
