I was in LA for business this past week, and I paid a visit to the Italian Bike Night in Santa Monica on Wednesday. I was riding a rented BMW...
The weather in CA is so damn nice. In winter, the temperature "drops" to 75 degrees or so.. [laugh] Lots o' people live out there, though. I guess it's the price you pay. :-\

Nice place to visit but....you know the rest. ;)
Looks like you had a fun "business" trip. Wish my business involved traveling around the country and renting Beemers. [beer]

I freely admit that it's a great gig. ;D
I got to visit a couple of cool moto museums, too. Tom White (of the White Bros.) has a very nice vintage MX museum at his house near Anaheim.

More pics are on my website here (http://www.rpmri.com/v/white_mx/).
To cap off the week, there was a visit to this place (http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/)... :o ;D 8) It's the coolest museum/collection that you can possibly imagine. Unfortunately, no cameras are allowed. We were restricted to taking only one pic of our tour group, and I'm not able to post it on the web. The pic involves the Tank Car, though. [thumbsup]
Pete, I don't like you right now. [cheeky]
