If you come to town early, all the test tracks are off Temescal Canyon Road south of Corona. A couple minutes on Google earth ought to make it easy to find all the tracks if you want to check them out. Last I knew, there is at least one test track at Glen Helen as well, and Glen Helen is open for practice on Thursdays. If you’re a skier or snowboarder, you could head up to Mt High in Wrightwood and do a few runs, then hit up Glen Helen on your way down the hill. When I used to live there, I used to load my dirt bike in the back of my truck and head up the mountain to snowboard for a couple hours and ride some moto at GH before heading home.

I'm not sure if the TLD showroom is still open. I would double-check on that one since the last time I was out there in May it was closed. Fox had a big party last year the night before that was really fun. Not sure if they're doing it again but if so I would recommend going to that.

There's plenty of bike rental / vacation rental type places if you want to ride yourself or like others mentioned hit up the test tracks and watch as well.

It's worth going to Chaparral in San Bernardino or Bert's Mega Mall in Covina. Those are the biggest retail showrooms I've ever seen.

Berts, Chaparral, Pro Circuit and TLD are all well worth a visit,

What airport are you arriving? If LAX you have to check out the beach cities (Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo) for lunch and walk on the strand. Easy to access the 91 from that area as well to head out to the Inland Empire AKA MX Central. Avoid getting stuck on the 91 freeway in the afternoons. 91 is the east west corridor that runs through Corona and PC sits on the north side. Use GPS with real time traffic updates plus have 1070 AM traffic on the nines I think it is but is has been awhile. They have traffic updates every ten minutes.

Glen Helen to see the facility, get some Woohoo's fish tacos in Norco heading south on the 15 then check out Chaparral would be a full day. Friday hit up Pro Circuit in AM then head to the stadium on Friday early afternoon. Security is typically lax on Friday .

Have fun.
