Actually, probably not. I ended up with a dead motorcycle battery and broken clutch cable in Newark one day (don’t ask, but it made push starting basically impossible). Saw some dudes working on a car in their garage, asked if they had a charger. They let me chill there for an hour while I charged the battery, and let me borrow their tools to remove the fairings.
I can’t speak to Logan Heights, but I’ve heard of out-of-towners getting shot because they went down the wrong street in L.A.
