Located on the outskirts of Los Angeles, California, Dave has some incredible riding roads just two blocks from his driveway. In this video, Dave takes us on a tour of some of his favorite routes through the mountains around LA, culminating in a tour of the Mt. Wilson Observatory’s 100-inch telescope, where Dave used to work.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to ride a Halcyon 250, sit back and take in the views and sounds of Dave’s epic route. From every shift to every apex, this video gives an in-depth look at the riding experience found on our lightweight ramble machines.
Dave was first interested in a Halcyon 450, but after riding both the 450 and 250 at a test ride event near San Diego, he fell in love with the lightweight simplicity of the carburated Halcyon 250. With a few upgrades and customizations, Dave enjoys carving up the canyons around Los Angeles.
