 Re: West Coast Whizzers (club)
HI Buzz and Lobster, there are LOTS of owner/riders in your area, BUT there is no organization that I know of. there used to be Whiz-in's in Hungton beach, and thereabouts, but none in the last 10 years that I know of. There is one ride, on sundays, for Mopeds, launching out of Fullerton CA.
Sean owns Myron's Mopeds, and is a cool guy with organized rides, other than his, I know of no others. I rode with the gang from Myron's BUT not convienent while living here in Sacramento, to make a sunday ride in Fullerton!
Does it seem to be time to "Rise up" and create such a thing? Now, a word of caution, when riding with the gang from Myron's, we were treated to a stop by La Habra PD, who pulled a couple of Mopeds over..... seems an old lady had called on her cell phone a 911 call that a Motorcycle gang was in town.
NOW, here s what is to be learned, in a large group you MUST be lawful!!! Before the ride, we had all been informed, DOT helmet and right hand mirror, or you are NOT riding with us! Easy deal, I bought a mirror for wifey's bike (mine had an ignition failure the day before).
Whizzers, and other motorized bicycles that can sustain the pace are welcome at the Whiz-In, But, we will be acting mostly Lawful, and this needs to be understood and accepted. The max I did at this Whiz-In was 43 mph (in a 45 zone), tho we mostly travel 25-35 mph.
What do you think?
