Been to LA, and not going back is worth a grand to me!
the mexican dinner sounds good tho! also warranty issues come to light with OS bikes, have considered it a i have friends who live in SF/san jose, but its too much of a pain to use a proxy to purchase a bike. then there are the import duties as well....
was going to buy a nice paul reed smith geetar over there when i was there, but again the fear of paying the duty on it when i got back scared me off!
