That will be a great ride. Had to go to LA two years ago for a conference and I took two extra days to rent a bike from Glendale Harley and take the PCH to Monterrey and back, stopping at the Reagan Museum. A wonderful trip if you can afford an extra couple days.

We have a special arrangement, I do things my way or I leave and work for a competitor, as I designed the entire tech platform and have no anti competition clause in any contract it gives me a lot of power.

Hi, I did Route 66 this year and decided I didnt want to ride through that sprawling mess called LA! So looked at the map and saw what I thought looked a good alternative, CA-2 Angeles Crest Highway, what an amazing road, 64 miles of good twisty mountain roads
