This summer, I plan to put together a video of me riding my motorcycle by famous LA landmarks at night. It'll be filmed using a GoPro 3 camera with a chest mount. The video will be about 4 1/2 minutes long. The locations will need to be visible at night (good lighting) and without stopping/getting off the bike. It'll be on youtube and I'd like the landmarks to be touristy and well known.

Any suggestions aside from the following landmarks?

- 6th Street Bridge, Downtown
- Staples Center
- 101 Freeway, between 60 and 101 freeways
- 2nd Street Tunnel, Downtown
- Disney Concert Hall
- Hollywood Blvd, around Chinese Theater
- Capitol Records Building
- Sunset Blvd around Chateau Marmont
- Rodeo Drive
- Griffith Observatory
- Sunset Blvd before PCH
- PCH going south towards Santa Monica Peer
- Santa Monica Peer
- Avenue of the Stars, Century City
- LAX
- Mulholland Dr (any particular section of it?)

Comments and location recommendations are very welcome.

The peristyle of the "mammoth" Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

Watts Towers

This might be tricky and more work but somehow getting shots of many of the "Little..." blue neighborhood signs like Little Eithiopia on Fairfax, Little Armenia, Little Saigon, etc

Also tricky but something with the Hollywood sign

1st Street Bridge excellent views of DTLA and if timed right wait for the Gold Line train so you can zip past it.

Hope street from 7th till the LA Central Library
Around Bank/Historic District like on Broadway or Spring or down 5th, 6th, 7th street.
Pershing Square but not really visible from the street.

WILSHIRE
Through Koreatowns neon lights, Wiltern Theatre,
Past LACMA and the light display
Westwood and Condo Canyon

OTHER
110 Freeway north has these tunnels from Chinatown to the 5fwy.
Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena is lit up at night.
Rose Bowl
Pasadena City Hall
Melrose shopping area, and Melrose past the Paramount studios entrance.
Randys Donuts in Westchester near the 405

Yeah, Hollywood Sign is not lit up at night. And neither is Watts Tower i think. Other than that, thanks for all the other very good suggestions.
