Visit to the west coast

[iamheero_imp]

I'm in LA and just wanted to reiterate that palm springs is an easy skip. Don't bother unless you're on your way to Joshua Tree which is amazing! Or Death Valley, if you can (not sure what temps are in April, I usually go in the winter!). Venice is great, I second the Petersen Museum. Malibu has some lovely roads for cruising. In April, weather permitting, take Angeles Crest Highway (just look at it on the map!) out to the desert if you're going to Vegas that way. It's another of those must-do roads. Once you get past Newcomb's Ranch the weekend riders thin out and it's just hours of curves, canyons, and vistas. I mean HOURS.
