That 138 is a dangerous road. I use to tow racecars along that road to get to Los Angeles County Raceway.

Was alcohol a factor?
I watched a guy do the same thing, only he hit a ****** wire fence
He's a parapalegic now.

Ya gotta ride safe, and save the drinks for later.

Used to ride 138 a lot on my "Ol' 62 Pan". Good road but can get "Hairy" real fast. Haven`t been on it in prolly 30 years now... Glad your bud made it out OK....
