a picture of palos verdes :)

My friend and I hit up the closest twisties near us a few times and just took a little stop for some pictures. It is an awesome place to take photos

I'll probably go back sometime in the summer and take the time to create better quality shots. and perhaps even a video to show the twisties

Cool scenery. How's the bike doing?
Those types of cliffs are good for flying remote control gliders.
The wind coming in from the ocean hits the cliffs and pushes upward, creating a nice updraft that will carry an unmotorized glider around all day.

Good times.

Nice. Are the poppies in full bloom yet? Did you have any issues with cops and the non-OEM exhaust? I hear cops in the area can be pretty strict.

Didn't even realize that it was a 250, looked like a versys at first glance. Nice look

Don't have to worry about scratching or cracking the fairings if the bike goes down

I think the cops are more worried about reckless speed and such. My friend and I (since he was on a cruiser) weren't riding very aggressively. Actually, when I was taking those pictures, a CHP was also parked in the lot and didn't seem to care much.

He might have been there because there were actually lots of riders out that day. And just showing his presence.

No clue what so ever. I just know that it is the spot right before/after the real bumpy and uneven landscape with the warning lights.

We have twisties,

it's called Palms To Pines Hwy, also known as Hwy 74. And he's doing well. Maybe sometime I will come down and we can ride.

That would depend on which way you went. From San Pedro it would be after, from Malaga Cove it would on the way to Portuguese Bend which is the name of a housing development behind the gates. Had a real bad fire back in the 70's. Had to evacuate the horses to the beach, Abolone Cove, real scary. That road moves something like one to two inches per year and has since I've known.
