On their way to Laguna Seca Lorenzo, Spies and Edwards stopped off briefly in Los Angeles, where the Yamaha trio were given a guided tour of talk show host Jay Leno's extensive collection of cars and motorcycles.
Lorenzo was a also guest in the audience for the filming of Leno’s ‘The Tonight Show’, and then joined his fellow MotoGP riders as well as legends Eddie Lawson, Kenny Roberts and Wayne Rainey as guests of Leno, who presented his private collection of more than 200 cars and motorcycles to the stars.
Leno was presented with a Yamaha superbike and a Troy Lee designed helmet, which incorporated the designs of Lorenzo, Spies and Edwards, along with that of Lawson, Rainey and Roberts. Alpinestars leathers were also given to the presenter, who then hosted a dinner in the setting of his own garage.
On Wednesday Dani Pedrosa took a surfing lesson from Red Bull sponsored surfer Levi Siver at Sunset Beach, spending an hour picking up the finer points of the sport.
Following that Pedrosa then headed over to Universal Studios where he was joined by San Francisco Giants’ pitcher Tim Lincecum for a skydiving lesson in a wind tunnel with Red Bull Air Force member Sean MacCormac.
“It was great, something really different to what I’m used to! It was good fun to join Red Bull for this and I was very happy to. When you have new experiences and new friends it’s always nice and I really enjoy doing this kind of thing. It was also my first time ever surfing, so very cool,” said the 24-year-old MotoGP rider.
