I ride LA freeways almost daily. Traffic is bad during rush hours. Bikers usually split lanes around here. As always regardless of where you are watch for anything and everything and I personnally choose to ride in an offensive manner, meaning somewhat aggressive. Stay out of blind spots, don't blend in and ride a little faster than traffic.
You'll find the highway speeds around here are rather high, considering the amount of cars on the road. My speed runs around 85 mph most of the time just to keep from getting ran over.
You'll find some great riding around here for sure.
And don't let the posers get you down with their $40,000 bikes. They ususally don't ride them fast or hard. Afraid to get dirt on them. I passed a really nice 40K bike this morning with a raked out front end and fat rear tire. He was doing 40 (at best) when I passed on the end side lane of an tight on ramp at 65. They just can't keep up with a tight running Speedmaster. Man I love the handling of that bike.
