The beauty of California is that it is big, with varied geography and people. If you don't like most L.A people (and who outside of L.A. does?), there is San Francisco which has a more arty vibe. If you want more conservative military people combined with a twist of laid back, try San Diego. If you want very conservative and affordable housing, try the San Joaquin Valley. Want laid back with a slow pace of life, and have lots of money to spend on a house? Try the central coast.
I've been from one end to the other (several times), and there wasn't a single spot that interested me one bit as a place of residence.. Again, for those that like it, FANTASTIC!! :cheer:
Right now I'm upset because the BT020's that are on my FZ have 8500 miles and are toast.. I'm well into the wear bar on the rear. On the other hand, I was well aware of this when I bought the bike last week, and was glad to get a safe weekend ride out of it..
My new tires are sitting in a friend's shop and can't be put on until Monday. Guess it's a BMW weekend.
I like the fact that everyone's mentioning that the bike remains tight after 50K miles.. It's a good thing to know..
