Unbelievable and very scary. Hoping and praying that our members are making it through the fires. The pictures of the devastation and man's inability to fight fire in the face of 100 mile per hour winds are heartbreaking.

Thanks Steve.... I'm about 60 miles out of the fire zone and the black cloud over the city is apocalyptic. I do konw Iconic Motorbikes is offering free motorcycle storage for ANYone that needs it. The service manager did lose his house yesterday. |

I spoke with Ray in the last couple of days. We're all fine, thanks guys.
Winds are supposed to be back today.
Calm right now though. |

Just spoke to Ray ... he is fine except his back is all screwed up. Does not ride anymore. He says hello to everyone and says thank you for your concern.... |

I lived in Granada Hills in the early 70s. Worked at Pacific Stereo in Santa Monica, then later Torrance. The 405 sucked then too.  |

I worked in Westchester for about a year and a half in the mid 70s. Rotating shifts. Traffic was always bad on 405. Some days I took Sepulveda Blvd all the way home. |

Ha, tried that too. Sometimes better, sometimes much worse.
Had a 340 Duster with a stiff clutch. Not fun in 405 rush hour. Made me a fan of automatics. |
