SAT WORKS FOR ME 10AM AT THE COFFEEE SHOP OFF TUJUNGA
Saturday it is....need an address for the coffee shop....
JIMMY U OUT THERE DO U HAVE THAT ADDRESS
i was just wondering if we were going to do another Mr. Bill memorial Cruise then I saw this post. Saturday is our youngest grandson's 1 year birthday. If you don't mind moving this to Sunday, I will definitely be there. Peace-Out!
The place we originally met (with Bill) was Hillside Cafe, 1004 Foothill Blvd, La Canada. We gathered in a parking lot across the street from the cafe. We met one other time at another coffee shop on Foothill (with Carrol's daughter & boyfriend) but I can't remember the name or location.
Here is the video we put together for Bill's Memorial a couple years ago...
RIP, BILL
OK, lets do this Sunday.....
We met at the Starbucks on Foothill Blvd, 8349 Foothill Blvd, Sunland. On the 210 Fwy take the exit for Sunland Blvd, head East and it becomes Foothill Blvd. Stay on Foothill Blvd just past the 7-Eleven on the Oro Vista intersection. The Starbucks in on the left, next to the 7-Eleven.
From there we just jumped on the Big Tujunga Canyon Road into the Angeles Crest Mts.
I'm in for sunday. Thats perfect!

Sunday Sunday sunday, I'm in.
LArry
THATS GREAT LARRY
BLAKE, JEN, WILL, ROBERT, DUMB MEXICAN DAVE,EDDY,MARY AND KIRK, AND U OTHERS
COME ON
I'm a maybe right now. I hope to be free to do this.
Larry - you're welcome to crash at my house Saturday night (you can park your car in the garage with mine). That way it'll only be an 1.5 hr drive for us Sunday morning to the rendezvous in Sunland instead of 4.5hrs for you from Escondido.
Blake and I will be there, but we may be driving Blake's other car. He dropped the Speedy off at Kirk's with a mile long punch list. Either way, I'm sure Bill won't care what we're driving.
NO HE WONT JEN LOOKS TO BE A GOOD GROUP MEETING
BRINGING THIS BACK UP FRONT
Gerd,
I won't know if I can make it until closer to Sunday
Eddy
OK EDDY I JUST WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE THIS SO I WILL KEEP REFRESHING IT
10:00AM Sunday Sept 9th - Meet at the Starbucks on Foothill Blvd, 8349 Foothill Blvd, Sunland.
* On the 210 Fwy take the exit for Sunland Blvd, head East and it becomes Foothill Blvd.
* Stay on Foothill Blvd just past the 7-Eleven on the Oro Vista intersection.
* The Starbucks in on the left, next to the 7-Eleven.
Jim - I get choked up eveytime I see that.
Gerd - Regretfully, will not be able to attend but will be there in spirt. Have a cold one for me & give one to Bill also - Comitments at Bonniville. I will miss everyone.
Gerd, I know what it's like to lose a close friend. My friend, after battling cancer for a year, lost his fight. His passing hurts, but it was not a surprise. With Bill it was, and that can hurt even more because it was so unexpected.
I never met Bill, but if I was closer I'd join you for your memorial drive.
Ron
ron thank u
this is always a very difficult time
bill and i were lost brothers that found each other
i bailed on him that day, we would play hookey and ride the curves of route 2 to newcombes ranch and have a beer
he called me 10 minutes before he died to tell me what a great run and day it was and to tease me that i bailed on him
it will haunt me till i die
Hey Gerddddd, Bill & I are waiting for you....
Need to keep an eye on the fire in Angeles Crest mountains. It may cause closure of the route we want to take on this cruise. Any back-up plans?
Wonderful video, a truely great all around guy ! I'll be riding along in spirit... ~Alan
jimmy is that fire still going?
jim u r right i just checked out and they say it wont be out for at least a week.
im not sure how to check the location vs as to where we go up to newcombes. an alternative would be the rock store. it was Bill's second favorite place to drive mulholland and the iconic pic of him and barkley was taken there
What fire.... come to my place, I'll show you HOT......
hey vince we should seriously consider moving the ride to mulholland. i dont think they will let us up there
just called newcombes and the highway is open as well as the bar
the fire is a good ways south ( my favorite position ) so we should be good.
