The original plan was to get a ride to Santa Monica, CA but that didn't work out. I went on line and got a great deal on a rental car through Costco. A one way rental from Tucson Airport to LAX.
I picked up a rental car, 2018 Toyota Camry, and tried to get the bike into it. Maria and I worked on it what seamed like an hour. First fold down the seat and try to put the bike in from the back. No Luck. Then tried putting it in the back seat like Maria does with her bike. Again No Luck. Take the back wheel off and still no luck. With the back wheel off and the rear seats folded down and Maria inside the car helping, the bike finally was inside the car. Then all of the luggage.
I left Tucson at 5AM heading to LAX. As I crossed the California boarder I started google maps for the best way to get to LAX. At that point google maps said arrival at 1:02PM. The closer I got to Los Angeles the arrival time kept changing... 1:10... 1:23... 1:26 ... 1:33 finally arrived 1:47. No I didn't get lost there was lots of traffic.
Unloaded the bike from the car and got ready for the trip to Santa Monica.
I stopped at Novel Cafe n Pizzeria on Main St Santa Monica. Good pizza and very friendly service.
Alright! My old stomping grounds! I used to gather lobster in the breakwater and fish/swim off of SM Pier, many years ago. I hope you enjoyed all of my homies. Great photos... they bring me back to a most excellent time. Your bike is looking awesome.
