They had a really good tour planned, including the Grand Canyon and Sturgis. Good luck to them.
Kev and I sorted our stuff and hit the road about 10.30, only to go a few hundred yards for breakfast at IHOP.
A touch of left handed shooting, showing a bit of this stretch of Route 66. Look how long the train is..
We rejoined the Interstate, to head towards Los Angeles. We went to the Harley dealer in Victorville, where Kev bought a spare set of screen bobbins. Whilst there, we had a chat to a girl who'd spent a few weeks living in South Kensington, when her dad was shooting 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Back on the slab, we seemed to have been heading to LA for ages, so we turned off at Via Verdhe; to get our bearings, refuel and use Ronald's WiFi.There was another Shovel in the parking lot, but Kevin felt that the owner was too foreign to have a conversation with.
I texted Nitro Bill, in Downey, to arrange to visit him and used Booking.com to get accommodation in Paramount, where we have to deliver the bikes on Friday. We stayed at the Bristol Motel, which is run by Asians, whose cooking smells were divine. We wanted to eat at the Chinese, opposite, but it was shut. Mexican again! I had a couple of Rellenos, which were really good.

We bought a few beers, from a Mexican supermarket, and we sat outside our rooms to drink them. The temperature was really cool and pleasant, after the day's heat and humidity.
Teach yourself Spanish
Kev went to bed early, cos he was bored, whilst I got my blog up to date. Good WiFi, anyway!
