Bring a spare helmet and we could do a short tour around LA- that is, presuming you practise riding with a pillion first!! :-)

That's not very likely to happen, I'm afraid... the idea of being responsible for someone else on the bike scares the dickens out of me. I'm not even sure who I'd practice with - most motorcycle riders I know will only go pillion in event of emergency. And it would help to have someone who's GOOD at buddy-riding....

I DO know a really nifty spot for viewing the "HOLLYWOOD" sign with minimal visual clutter, and relatively close up. ;) Not something the casual tourist would discover on his/her own. (Doesn't everyone who visits LA want a good picture of themselves with that sign? :)

Just re-checked the work calendar; that friday is a "quiet" one, shouldn't be difficult to get the day off work. I'll wait until you have a chance to hash this out with you-know-who in 5 weeks before I do anything, though. ;) Let me know if dates/plans change.

time depending on you-know-who, I'd love to spend the day with you. Viewing the Hollywood sign with a local would be the experience of a lifetime!

Unfortunately, upon checking in for your flights in Anchorage you will go through international security (since your flight plan includes international flights) which means they won't let you leave that area of the airports you arrive in until you have finished all of your flights. I got stuck for 7 hours at JFK in NY that way and it SUCKED!

Right, so you want ME to drive than? Pillion isnt as scarey as you think....

To be honest, I was thinking "car", actually. Especially because of the way people drive around LAX. I was never particularly comfortable riding pillion myself, and now having my own bike - I'm with my friends, I'd do it in emergency but not otherwise. I'm too much of a control freak. ;)
