I'm just getting into riding and have signed up for my MSF beginner
course. Although I plan to get my motorcycle license here in AZ over
the summer, I'll be doing most of my driving in Los Angeles where I
live. Any advice for riding in such a congested area? Also, I travel
from LA to norcal often. What are those long stretches like on a
motorcycle? What kind of mileage to bikes get?
Thanks

        And, south of the border, drunk driving is a sport and a 'sign
of manhood', not 'a problem'.

We didn't start seeing all the roadside shrines where Mexicans ran off of
straight roads and killed themselves until the massive invasion of the early
1970's.

A guero that I used to ride with told me that Mexicans couln't handle any
curve in the road, they were all 'curva peligrosa' to Mexican drivers.

Hwy 395 is great if you want to go to Truckee or Reno, but a bit out of the
way
if you want to go to Monterey.
