bighit8, that wasn't the drugs you were feeling. That was an earthquake.

New theory: Not an earthquake at all. Was just big Crash Maxwell slamming into terra firma on his birthday ride at CHSP.

im here in the Jax Yorba Linda shop. Thought the windows were gonna blow out. Stucco is off all over the shop, no bikes fell. Our automatic doors jammed as we tried to exit the building. We can see dirt in the air from CHSP. I remember that with the last northridge quake. We have had over 20 aftershocks since the main event. All I could say as I exited the building was HOLY SHIT in a half yelling, half scarred shitless voice. After all earthquakes don't kill people, buildings do!

with episodes such as these you will experience times of not being able to get through. this is partly due to everyone getting on the phone to check on their families. your best bet is txt message as this is a quick burst of data that can get transmitted as opposed to a voice call.

Elisheva: where about are you experiencing these drops? if you want send me a PM telling me where.

I called the house to check on my two bikes...neither of them answered, so I'm very worried.

Hardtail with 80mm in front. I think it's the tires though: 1.9 was enough for this quake.

I just finished up with a ride at Aliso and was sitting in my truck in the parking lot when it hit. My truck was shaking. At first I thought someone was jumping on my bumper, then I looked around and saw the car next to mine shaking too.

Are we for certain this wasn't caused by Tim & Neil's toxic gas jointly?
