Day 9 (L.A.)

I got up around 7 and went to work fixing the bikes. I had to remove the gas tank to get at the fuse. What a pain. Then I rewired mikes USB plug on his. We headed back up to the restaraunt on the top of the hill for coffee (I had coke). The lady was very nice and because we dropped off bug spray to a girl at our camp ground it was free. We drove down to the city. We ended up driving around and wound up at the Santa Monica pier. It was interesting. The beach was full of nut jobs tho. We tried a bit of lane splitting I can see why its illegal in pretty much everywhere. We rode to the Hollywood sign which was not really worth the trip. We then spent a long time driving all over the highway as the numbers are screwy. We ended up going back to the same camp ground as this morning and we met up with the guy we met at the restaurant in the morning. We hung out at his campfire for about 3 hours talking with him and his wife about pretty much everything you can think of.
We went off to bed at 12:30. Mike yelled to ask me if I was outside his tent. He is convinced there is something outside his tent. He's yelling "hey!" And clapping his hands. I think he's going crazy.
