I meant to reply to this earlier. That would be great to get together for a ride when you make it out to California. I didn't realize that part of L.A. was called Montrose (I looked it up). Amazing roads there! Wise man to have a Speed Triple parked and waiting for you. A few years back I rode with a group through Malibu Canyon on a ZX6R to the Rock Store. And just a few weeks back I rode the Angeles Crest Highway to Newcomb's Ranch with my wife on the CB. Both rides were amazing. I would love to experience more of them.
As far as our nice weather, it's gone. At least for a few days. A big storm is about to hit us and is expected to last into the weekend. Where I'm at, that means rain and awful drivers. But in certain parts of the valleys and mountains, we're expecting flash floods and mud slides in areas where we've had fires (and we've had plenty). We've been in a severe drought for several years now so the rain is much needed. But when it comes all it once, we're ill-equipped to handle it. Should be interesting.
