NEW from Simi Valley California

Welcome! I used to reside in Simi and T.O.! Good to see some old locals!!!

 

Sweet!!

Yeah, MCC is a good college. I went there for two years as well.

 

Yeah I was there from around 99'-01,02'. Wasnt to far from Stearns St. so that was good. Not only that but the girls were hot there too!!!

 

The good ol' stomping grounds!

 

Damn straight!!! To bad I never hit on any though. I was chasing girls out in the valley. Northridge, Granada Hills, Chatsworth, Glendale, T.O., and the surrounding areas!!

 

Good old memories. I'm not to fond of the valley. Always had problems even just driving threw it, seemed like the hoodlums would look for me lol.

Simi is gettin way crowded aswell. Takes me over 20 minutes to drive from madera to stearns during busy hours sometimes longer depending if there was an accident.

As for me getting a street bike I'll pass lol. I'm not a street bike guy. Dirt bikes all day long but there is less people driving around in the desert.

 

What sucks is that there is still a ton of traffic thru simi even after adding a lane to the 23 / 118

 

You ever hit up Piru mx?

 

Yeah that place has really grown. I'm amazed every time I drive through.

 

Yeah I remember even before I moved away from Simi about 7 years ago how bad the traffic was getting. I can only imagine how bad it is now!! I dont know thought, after all those long drives on the 405 and the 5 and stuff, I was just used to all that traffic. Now living in a rural town, driving 3 miles to work is long for me!! haha!!

Gotta love that traffic man!!!!

 

No I havent been to piru yet. I dont race or anything.

 

Hey do they still have that "happy face" and "heart" on that little hill in between Kuhner and Yosemite? Dang, I think those are the streets its in between! Its been so long since I lived out there that my streets are out of wac!!! I mean everyone should know what I'm talking about cause its been there since I was like in grade school. I'm just curious if they are still there?

 

I drove thru simi last weekend but didnt pay attention to that hill...time before that a few months back I think the heart & happy face were still there

 

Okay yeah thats what I was hoping, that they were still there. I mean they have been there so long, I dont see why they would stop doing it. To me its like a Simi land mark. I never did find out who or why they did that? I just never thought to ask anyone even though I lived there for like 14 years!!! Do any of you guys know behind its history?

Oh sweet thanks man!!!! That article pretty much summed it all up!! Dang, it felt like it was there way before 98' cause I graduated high school in 99'!?!?! Hmmm, time flies I guess after high school. I do miss Simi though. I lived in Chatsworth before that but I was kinda to young to remember any of it, just bits and pieces. So Simi is pretty much where I grew up and I am proud of it!!! I'll end up back there eventually cause my dad is going to give me his house after he passes away (knock on wood) cause I only have one other older brother and he makes bookoo bucks so he doesnt need it. So maybe down the road if we are still on TW, we can have a meet near Simi or something!!!

 

For sure. There are a lot more people on the forum from VC / LA areas than there was before it seems..

 

Thats awesome!!! I think Zuma Beach would be a great place for a meet dont you think?!?!

 

I think venture harbor would be a cool meet. Tons of parking for the harbor or the beach and good food and music to chill and hang out. Not to mention cold beverages..... Coronas
