Malibu/Santa Monica Mountains Hawk Riders
I just moved to Newbury Park from Nor Cal and am looking for other Superhawks to ride with. The Superhawk is new to me but I have been riding for 25 years not including dirt time as a kid.

Sounds good! Would be cool to ride with some other superhawks. Do you guys head up into the mountains from Westlake? Do you ride on Sundays? My front rotors are a bit warped right now so I have to take it easy until the new ones arrive.
Ghost - I'm sure youd be fine, I'm no super bad *** and would probobly bring up the rear anyway. I'm still learning all the roads here and my bike.

I'm down, and as far as what days to go ride, i'm pretty much free whenever, so let me know when the best days are for you guys. Now I don't know if you guys are set on riding the malibu mountains, but if you guys want to go on a more senic ride with better roads, I know a couple of places we can go, but it's not as local.

I'm down with that if your thinking Malibu stuff early on. I have to do easter stuff with my kid and I Like I said I need to get my rotors fixed before I head too far out.
If everyone else is down for somewhere else don't let me hold you back. Hopefully we might get some kind of regular thing going!
BTW: Where are you thinking of that is more scenic and a better roads? 33?

But we could do the malibu run. As far as the more senic and better riding roads, the 33 is awsome, or angeles forest hwy pretty good, lake hughes rd next to lake castaic and back down san francisquito canyon rd is good, and i think that about it for the big canyon runs, well within 50 miles from home at least.

Hey fellas,
My s'hawk isn't feeling well, so I may be out until I can take it to the mechanics. I think either my starter is bad, battery is bad, or brand new r/r is bad.
We'll see. Hopefuly it's just the battery, but we'll find out.

Yeah this weekend is pushing it for us all it seems. I just installed the new rotors and pads and have some uneven rub so I need to work that out before I trust my life to it. Hopefully next weekend will also have good weather. Lets try then.

I think the best place to meet up would be at wendys on wendy rd, it's easy to get to and its right off the freeway. From there we could go right to potrero rd, then go down the coast to mullhuland, and go through the canyons from there. If you guys wanted to go to a different canyon then we would have to decied what canyon then i could set up a place to meet. But as far as going through the malibu mountains, wendy's in newbury is perfect.

Wendys sounds like a plan to me but since I actually live right next to Lynn,Potrero I'll also suggest the Carls Junior or Star-schmucks @ the corner of Reino and Kimber. (34.171334,-118.955476 on google maps)
The route you mentioned is the one I have been taking so far. I have been have been jamming down Potrero then hauling up the coast to Mullholland; Then heading back home on Westlake (23) and looping back to Potrero.

I know exactly where Carls jr, and star-schmucks is, but i just mentioned wendys if there are others goin that don't know newbury park as it would be easier to find. Also if decker to westlake is the furthest you've been, then we'll have to go further cause theres alot more to the malibu hills.

Oh yeah Wendy's is fine for sure. I've been as far as the Rock Store on Mullholland and checked out a few roads near there but not too much so far.
I can only do early on Sunday this weekend; If that works for you guys, what time is good? I don't mind an early ride but it looks like its only going to be in the 60s on Sunday.
