guys and gals i took this ride almost 2 years ago on the ninja 250 and decided to share it for those times when we can't ride or just too lazy to actually ride...:D

i know what you are thinking...no we are not going at twice the speed limit...i speeded it up and made it more exciting and exhilirating...

yeah, we did not stop at that 2 way stop in the middle of nowhere, nobody does...the camera angle does not show that everybody can see it is clear all the way through...so bite me!...

ride your own ride...now let's go!!!...

Man that is one curvy road, that would definitely be a place where a 250 would show its sporting potential

No you have to go up from sunland. Big t to Angeles forest to ACH. From there you can go all the way up to wrightwood. Big t s a good ride nice sweepers up with some straights.

I was on it just a few weeks back. Great road! It's funny, actually. You know how a little chocolate is good, a lot of chocolate is great, but a whole pile of chocolate is just too much? Latigo is almost like that for me. :) I was on the RT and not the ninjette, and after whipping the bike back and forth and back and forth at full lean over and over and over again, it's almost a relief when you make it all the way to the top. :p I wish I had the little bike (or a motard) for that road.
