The story behind the pic.
Most rides that we did ended up on Palomar Mountain. The roads on Palomar were fantastic
and then there was a restaurant and store at the top of the mountain that was a great place to hang out and get something to eat. The restaurant was called Mother's Kitchen. It was a vegetarian restaurant but the veggie burgers were pretty good and so were their pies. The best part of the place was the parking lot which was normally pretty full of bikes on weekends and was a great place to kick tires.
Palomar mountain was the big attraction for the local sport riders. Not only were the roads great but law enforcement normally stayed off the mountain. One of the guys who was a regular on the mountain was a middle aged squid who rode a Hurricane 1000. He normally had a few younger "squidlings" following him around. Why was he a squid? I'm not really sure. He did wear proper riding gear. He just had that reputation. He had done something that really pissed Jonesy off. I'm not sure what. Maybe a stupid pass?
Anyway, we were hanging out in front off Mother's Kitchen when we heard that this guy had crashed. So we headed down the East grade to check it out. We found the guys mangled bike off of the side of the road and then posed for that picture.
I'm not sure of the extent of the guys injuries except that they were nothing serious. I saw the guy at Mother's kitchen some time later. He was now riding a large cruiser. He was pretty bored with it but said that his wife wouldn't let him get another sport bike
