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

Well worth considering, and you dont go out of your way to ride it

I'll be passing through the Land of Enchantment in mid May. Can I have a beer?
