A couple of Fridays ago... St. Patrick's day... I left Willow Springs in my pickup with the bike in the back at 3:00 PM. Got home at 8:30 PM. 5 and a half hours to go 135 miles. Was low on diesel somewhere around Redondo, so got off the freeway and headed towards the beach. Was stuck in surface gridlock for an hour and a half on fumes trying to find diesel. I was one pissed off SOB. Never, ever again will I put myself through that hell. Will be heading to Willow under the cover of darkness from now on. I don't know how you Angelinos do it... it would drive me crazy. One reason why I refuse to venture north of the El Toro Y
