We were supposed to go to Raging Waters again today but my son got the cold overnight after going to Raging Waters yesterday. Good excuse to do a bikeride to Long Beach and back from Hollywood CA. This was my first long ride since seizing up my Raw Motors engine in the San Diego ride. I have the GT5 now. Few issues to work out but the the most part a very enjoyable fast ride. Here the Pics from Long Beach:

I tried to wave down 2 riders what appeared to be Raw Motors bikes. This was at the Long Beach bike path a few miles from the pier. Wonder if it was anyone from here?

Maybe some LA guys want to join me in another 80 mile round trip GTG to be announced soon. Who would be interested?
 
Yeah, its weird. People that dont know about this forum and have motorized bicycles just keep riding. I call them silent riders... they ride, but dont talk.

When I went to San Clemente for some fishing of the pier, at least 1/4 of the people that walked by asked questions and took a look at my bike.
 
Nice bike & pics. Do you ever have any trouble with the cops in LB? I know all of our beach cities are all about writing tickets. I read somewhere Huntington Beach will take your bike (MB) & site you. Are you riding the river most of the way?
I would be interested in a ride with you once I get a more reliable MB built. All 4 of mine so far are homemade FD's.

Lived in both these places- but awhile ago now- About 1980 I rode from Long Beach up to Hollywood on my road bike- I was Category 1 USCF and was quite surprised how long it seemed in alll that traffic- but of course I went up the bikeway on the beach and then the 14 miles or so inland to Hollywood- and I think I climbed up Palos Verde on the way.

wish I was there- would love to join you.
 
I had a few cops follow me. None of them stopped me. I guess they ran the plates and backed off. I even talked to one cop who clocked me at 32 MPH. I have spoken to 5 officers so far and all of them say the same thing. Wear a DOT helmet, have lights at night and don't put others in danger while you are riding. They didn't care about the plate, insurance, motorcycle license, mirror or horn. I still am taking no chances so I got my DOT helmet, motorcycle license, plate, registration and insurance. I have a left side mirror, front and rear lights, and follow traffic laws as much as possible. So far so good with the man.
 
From Downtown LA I took Alemeda St to Del Amo St in Long Beach to the bike path and ended up at the Pier in Long Beach. I took the streets all the way back.
