First long distance ride... SD to SB

:guitar:

I just got home from a weekend in Santa Barbara, took my F4i.
It was fun, my fist out of city limits ride.
I made the mistake of leaving san diego at 3:30pm on the way up, took my 5 hours, 2 of them spent in grid lock LA traffic, i wanted to shoot myself, most stress i've experienced in my life...

The way back was not bad at all 3.5 hours, including my fatburger stop, and since i left early morning there were some other bikes out to ride with...

Well, just had to tell somebody... (chewy pats himself on back)

Awesome! It is a good thing that the worst thing that happened to you was traffic.

[chewy]

yeah, somebody was looking over me... ha
i think i got a few grey hairs from the 2hours of lane splitting though...

[deathblow]

I bet it was alot more frustrating to sit in traffic and not being able to lane split. You saved alot in gas too!

maybe more frusterating...but there is nothing that I hate more and fear more than lane splitting in LA....The lanes are narrow, the drivers are aggro, and its definitely more labor intensive....I'd rather leave late at night:errf:

I feel ya! LA traffic is insane. I can only lane split for a given amount of time before getting "tunnel vision". Traffic is always the worse near Mulholland Drive area.

He man I wish I could have went on that ride with ya, Fatburger is a must when I head to L.A. I may ride to Venice Beach this weekend.

Whenever I drive down to SD from Sb I leave at around 9 pm...even cruising at 70-80 mph it only takes 3 hours... ;)

If you ever make that trek again, consider doing some of the twisties up in the mountains there, HWYs 33, 156 are pretty fun. Does extend the trip a bit though. Last time through that area we had to make 4 small river crossings... FUN STUFF
