| We head out through downtown. I think I need to get a faster camera ... |  |
| We cruise down Grand, past the entrance of the Biltmore Hotel - the last place Elizabeth Short was seen alive. |  |
| We roll down past the Grand Olympic Auditorium, historic location of fight nights and other sporting events for decades. |  |
| Cruising the streets southwest of USC, into Leimert Park |  |
| Spencer (right) chats with Eric at a stoplight. |  |
| We gather quietly at the spot where Short's body was found six days later and ignited one of the biggest L.A. crime stories of the century. |  |
| Its dead-quiet here, 54 feet south of the fire hydrant, in the bedroom community that was built years after Short's severed body was discovered. Some of the bikers take photos of the group, avoiding using flash. |  |
| By now, the owners of this property are probably sick to death of the attention. We manage to avoid disturbing anyone, and roll on. |  |
| |  |
| We cruise up a little hill into West Adams, admiring the big, gorgeous 1920s homes. |  |
| Among them is this handsome mansion, which was used as the chief location of "Fisher & Sons Funeral Home" in the HBO series Six Feet Under. |  |
| Some nice old houses here. Beautiful architecture. |  |
| Get a load of Roger's sweet, sweet fixie at this rest stop - a very clean machine, to be sure. |  |
| Back out on the road for the cruise homeward |  |
| ... past the Hotel Cecil ... |  |
| St. Vibiana's was beautifully lit up inside for a movie shoot or a massive wedding, I couldn't tell which. |  |
| The reward at ride's end - sushi and a very large beer at Joy Mart, enjoyed by Spencer, here resplendent in IAAL-MAF colors. |  |
