My wife and I rode to San Berdu last tuesday to see her mother and watch the fireworks. Things were fine going south till we hit LA then the road surface became more like a concrete enduro course. The bike held up fine to the jack hammer effect, my wife and I however did not fair so well. My wife being small framed got the worst of it. Anyone else find these freeways to be unbearable?

I ride them everyday. You get used to it. 101, 405, 5, you name it. 405 is the worst I thnk. They need to redo it.

A black coutch just sitting in a dark spot on the street and couldn't see it till you was right up on it. And the damn speed limit was 45mph on that street. I dodged it bairly.

Back in December (in the car), I barely missed a refrigerator across the #1 lane in an unlighted desolate stretch of freeway west of Palm Springs. The freeways out in the Palm Springs area are much better than greater LA. But, I like to ride on roads with a little more character (aka twisties).
