July 19
Apologies that this is all out of order.....
Previously.....we had arrived in LA and hired a car that we were also using to sleep in - we could not afford transport and a hotel!!
Visited Korean Air Cargo...the bike were now not arriving until Friday (July 21). At TK Max, John and i kitted ourselves out in some cooler (temperature, not style wise) clothing .
The 'hotel' took us 70 miles north to a BMW dealer we had been told about. I bought some parts and we were very kindly invited to stay with Jules (one of the sales guys) and his family that evening. A few miles further north we found a Yamaha dealer....but they did not have a battery for John...however, one of the guys there, his wife could sort out our insurance!!! It was not cheap, but it was necessary!!!
We drove down to Jules' house....he lived on his parents land which was in Malibu. They lived in a stunning valley, overloking the Pacific. We had a truly great night....food around a big fire chatting away. Diane, Jules' mother was an artist and Ford (his father) woked for a non profit organisation. However...in his previous career he had written 14 hours of the hit TV program C.H.I.P.S!!! We slept on their patio, next to the fire overlooking a stunning valley!!!
