Just got back from Cali, went down for a wedding but I made sure to rent a rocket for some of the roads down there...
Lanesplititng the LA traffic was pretty sweet too, it`s nuts there... I had lanesplitters lanesplitting me while I was lanesplitting!!! But it was super convenient, if you`ve ever been to LA you`d know how effed up the traffic jams are there...
Here are the pics of my epic adventure...
Stopped off a dealer to find out where we could rent a bike and saw this beautiful beast... Apparently Canada doesn't have this colour option... I dig it...
So, after some searching we found http://southbaysportbikerentals.com/ and dealt with a guy named Jeff. With Jeff's help, we were equipped with a 2008 Kawi ZX-6R. I LOVED how smooth this bike rode!
Here you can see my gf getting ready...
A shot of the Pacific Coast Highway, we're north-west of Santa Monica here and a little south-east of Malibu...
A couple more shots in the same location...
A little further north I took a wrong turn, so another pic and I checked the map...
Just pulled on to Encinal Canyon Rd
Encinal meets Mulholland
At the top of "The Snake", you can see some slick riders hitting this corner on Youtube... And some not so slick crashes here too...
Some scenery, still at the top of The Snake
I kicked my gf off to do a few passes here, not very quick but still fun... These roads are some of the most technical roads I've ever ridden, so I didn't want to rip it hard and go over that rail...
