Nice cool weather and the road to Georgetown was a blast. I'm looking forward to more drives.

I agree that was my best Cobra ride I've done. What a perfect morning to be out in a Cobra. Great Breakfast too. Thanks Duane , worked on my Cobra most of the day. Plan to wrench all day tomorrow. We should definitly do this drive again next month. Maybe go out of George town and go all the way to Ice house road then drop down to HWY 50 and back to Placerville. We could have breakfast at Sweetie Pies in old town Placerville. It's a great breakfast spot. Dan

Nice to meet you, Chris and I have to agree about the ride.
Country roads with trees for a canopy, wow. Nice hill climbs, if you stay some distance from the horse trailer.
Thanks for keeping me company, if only for one leg, Dan ha

Maurice, thanks for the ride that was a blast. Next time I'll bring some ear plugs  your Cobra sounds so good but it's loud when your in the car.
Again thank you for the ride, that was fun.

I really enjoyed that particular drive too, a.k.a now as "Donn's Run". We'll have to do that again for sure. If we want to do the same breakfast place in the future, we need to reserve that room in advance. Different clubs are moving in on it fast. The motorcycle club meets there every 3rd Saturday now too at 9a.m. That puts us at 10 a.m. in the future and perfect for those drives before breakfast meetups.
QUESTION:
What did you guys thing about Ernies Breakfast, plenty of parking, go there again?

Cobras? Loud? Really?
Seriously though, Some of you guys that know Vince's old Silver w/blue stripe cobra, how does it compare to some of the others? I mean when I wind it up my ears hurt. I have riden in a pack of Thunder Header equipped Harleys that weren't as loud! 
Just puttin around town I set off a bunch of car alarms! |

Downshift - Bang!

To give you an idea, I use to own a HD FatBoy with Vance & Hines Drag exhaust, and it was pretty obnoxious. My Cobra is easily 2-3 times worse at W.O.T. and you might want to 1/2 that noise again for Maurice's car. Both cars one behind the other with throttle-up acceleration can generate some serious db. In general, we can basically blow threw a pack of bikes and never hear them. On a scale of 1-10, and 10 being noisey, his old car was probably about a 5 on the obnoxious scale. Sometimes quiet is nice too, especially after a long drive. You can make yourself go deaf in these things if you are not careful. Earplugs!
A favorite thing to do is to sneak up alongside a pack of so-called noisey HDs and glam choppers on the freeway, and typically with a good downshift its pretty easy to scare the crap out of them too for a taste of the old medicine and bewilderment.

Thanks again guys.

Gary,
I know I missed a good one, but I'd have to leave my house in the dark to meet up with you guys at 7:30. BTW, it was good to see you again. It's been a while.
Duane,
Ernie's was fine. The parking was easy the food was decent and the waitress was cute.
