L.A. to Laguna
Road Test & Review of the BMW R1200RT, Triumph Sprint ST, Honda Gold Wing motorcycles as they journey from L.A. to the Monterey Laguna Seca for the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix.
It takes most people five or six hours to ride from Los Angeles to Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey. We, as most of you have already figured, are not most people. Deadline stress and the first motorcycle Grand Prix on U.S. tarmac since 1994 dictated something more therapeutic than 325 miles of freeway. Besides, with some 80,000-plus fans converging on California's postcard-perfect Monterey Peninsula from every direction, our regular routes would be choked with motorcycling humanity along with the California Highway Patrol. Just as we learned the Primedia corporate jet was in for an oil change, the phone rang.
