Get a gormet picnic from Whole Foods, a bottle of wine (or two) and go to the Hollywood Bowl to see...just about anything.

Go to LACMA (LA County Museum of Art)

+11ty billion on the Getty

Griffith Park/Observatory is great also

Catch a concert at House of Blues

Go surfing at Huntington Beach

Rollerblading through Venice Beach is always a hoot

If you've never been to one: In 'N Out Burger

If you're riding, PM me or Duc-Stew and we'll send some suggestions.

Griffith park is cool.

Eat at Mels.. make sure to get pie with ice cream

six flags 

becareful where you park. the signs that say "no parking 8am-5pm monday threw friday, except weekends" really mean "parking here for 20 minuets costs $51, even on sundays at 7 am"

[Grampa]

the gospel brunch at the house of blues is a must


and..... dont forget the hustler store

[cyrus buelton]

It's Inglewood you wannabe.

Come on officer, give a honkey a break........

Haven't been there in years and years but I remember some places (don't know if they're still there or are still interesting)

Chinatown
Olverra Street (Hispanic version of Chinatown)
LaBrea Tar Pits
Museum of Science and Industry (think this is near the Coliseum)
Sunset Blvd Night Clubs (not while riding )
Already mentioned numerous times- Griffith Park Observatory.  I think the old oldie but goodie "Rebel Without a Cause" with Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood was filmed there.
Universal City movie studio tour
Taking in a movie at Grauman's Chinese theater for one of the other old classic theaters on Hollywood Blvd.
I'm pretty sure there are one or more motorcycle/car museums but can't dredge up the  names or location.
Beaches.  Crowded but interesting scenery  
Don't know where you're from or if you like fishing but a half-day fishing boat trip is fun if you like that kind of stuff.  But traveling you'd probably have to give away your fish.
Ride up to Mt Wilson Observatory, outside of Pasadena I think

I was in the area 2 years ago. We went to Point Dume early in the day and went swimming. There were lots of seals and pelicans, which was cool. Then we drove out to the desert and spent the night at Joshua Tree. In a couple hours, we got to see a strong contrast of differently beautiful landscapes.
