some great riding in LA, even better when the snow thaws
but their canyons are what they are famous for! I was suppose to ride LA in '17, had the bikes booked (MT09 and Duc hypermotard) and everything, but the hire place sold their business a couple a months before we got there and refunded our money, so we hired a dirty great SUV and drove to Las Vegas via Death Valley instead which Harleys would have been perfect for. got to see and touch these on the way https://goo.gl/maps/AKaK59tktZBkCz8u7 it really is the arse end of the world out that way, but the Military/Air and Space history is mindblowing!

:-( not showing at all, just the circle-with-a-bar error here. Wasn't there a trick with Google pics?

Well....early May in the Northern Hemisphere is early-ish spring, no surprise about snow up in the higher reaches of the mountains or the occasional white-out for a few days. I certainly remember spring-skiing that time of year many years ago over in Europe.

![]() ![]() I have to admit this Foto doesn't tell the truth. ![]() It was only a bit of snow in the woods, but man it was quite cold. This was near Big Bear Lake, it took quite a while driving through the mountains from north to south. It was a fine ride, but watch out to pick a time slot with low traffic. ![]() This was when we arrived south of San Gabriel Mountains, much warmer down here in Yucaipa. ![]() We arrived in our motel in 29-Palms in the dark. Nice cold riding. Off to the next restaurant for beer and food to call it a day. ![]() ![]()

Right you are, Las Vegas is not that far away, but too high and too cold in the end of February.
