Started off at 115 and academy, backing up 115 a bit to get some gas, as shell just had regular gas.... In attendance was
PhL0aTeR - Jesse - 06 Busa
StreakingBarnOwl - Gwen - Shotgun on the 06 Busa
Brat - Brian - 92 Katana
CaliScott - Scott - 02 F4i
billsmith7 - Bill - 06 F4i
Took off down 115, hung a right at 50 and tore up the canyon, hit 69 to westcliffe
Hit 96 and followed 165 to bishops castle. Being as this is my first castle run.... i must say when we turned on to 165, i think that may just rank up there as one of THE sickest rides ive been on. The twisties just kept coming at us, and it was F'n GREAT!!!!!
got to the castle and stopped there to goof off.....
Heres bill at the top of the tower....
And then my fat ass at the top..... my knee will thank me for that staircase walk in the morning
The dirt road was a bit tense for me and my rear end didn't take to the wash boards in a few spots but PhL0aTeR kept me on board and when we made it to the asphalt life was fast and good. Everyone defintly needs to take a castle run this year it was warm and the twisties kept the adrenaline pumping.
Cheers All.

no you were saying, "damn that katana sure does take turns fast! i could barely keep up...."
and when you were in front in a twisty and litterally burning rubber off your soles of your boots, i am going to get a pic of that one of these rides, of your boot smoking through a turn.
