Motorcycle transport to Los Angeles

[Labbedds]

Sooo, I only have the car now and want to have transportation when I get down to LA for a week and a half.  Anyone know of anyone who makes trips in a truck or how I can get cheap transportation for the bike down to LA.  I'd probably fly there then pick up the bike, or I don't even mind riding with the transport and splitting the gas???  I'll be leaving for LA around June 16th ish.

Can't ride the bike down?

I did the same ride in sept. on my 99m750, wow looooongggg.  Maybe it won't be so bad on the s2r.  I just need to leave a heck of a lot earlier.  When I was about 80 miles into the ride I hit some freakin' scary wind on the 5, thought I was going to get blown off the road.  That was a little sketchy, haven't experienced anything like that before.  I guess if I leave early enough in the morning I can make it in decent time.  Anyone suggest a good windscreen add on to the existing windscreen to make the touring more feasable?

No windscreen comes to mind but avoiding the 5 would be a good plan.

Just google mapped it, if I take the 101, 460 miles

Just last weekend, I went to LA on my 99m750 to see a friend in the hospital.  Coastal route most of the way, some 101, and a LOT of spontaneous detours.  Clocked 600 miles on Friday.  550 miles on Sunday.  Installed a Dart flyscreen newly purchased from Monsterparts specifically for this trip and another I'm taking all next week, and I'd say that really helped.

What about this one?  Fits on the stock windshield fairing? http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/23-708/Comfort-Touring/23-708.html
What route did you take?

Ah...you can do it!  If you take the generally coastal route with some detours it'll be 500 or 600 miles, but worth it.

I'll most likely do the trek, pics will follow.

My route was predominantly Hwy 1.  Other jaunts:  41, 46, Santa Rosa Creek (all Central Coast); 33, Pine Mountain (Frazier Mtn), 58, 229 in SoCal.  A lot of the same roads mentioned in cloudseeker's thread.
