of his EZ motorbikes.

This is your very big chance to meet Mike Simpson in the flesh :D as

Let us know what you guys and girls want to do on the big day

Hi all, sorry I have taken this long to post! Wifey and I will be in OC near Dizzyland from 12 july till the following Sunday. We would like to do visits and of course the Big Ride! I will get a chance to go see some Vendors, and wife's Mom is coming to visit from AZ.

I am planning to bring my Honda EZ-Bike, her HS EZ-Bike, and my Model 08 Racer, now powered by an EZ-Bike drive system (this bike is the very first of the Racers, chopped repeatedly, and was once Whizzer Powered). Now in Black Primer, the bike looks pretty good, especially considering that the whole time I rode it before was in bare, rusting metal!

if there was anything special someone wanted I might be able to bring some stuff.

We look forward to meeting some of you-all.

Mike

OK, the park is very nice, and there is a Zoo for 2.00 per person more, tho I did learn that they do not have any monkeys. For some this may be a problem BUT, I'm feeling sure that I can manage ina total lackof Monkeys.

There is a little train, and rental Horses, Nice paved roads, and clearly marked where to ride and where to keep off.

John and Raully have a ride planned out to Irvine Lake. Get here at 8am, to have Breakfast, or 9:am if you want to skip the breakfast.

If you ride the bike into the park, there is no charge, if you drive in the weekend charge is 5.00.

If you have any questions, you can call Russel, and you just might get what you want to hear?

Hi, well apparently there are a lot of people coming who are reading and not posting so expect to meet quite a few people here.

It looks like that breakfast will begin at 8:00, and parking is free at Chapman and Jamboree, with about a 1/4 mile drive to the park, or drive in and pay the 5 bucks to get the vehicle in.

It's looking like 10-11 in the park, with a strong 24 mile ride in one direction that includes some grades,and assorted smaller casual buzzes all around a very nice neighborhood.

You should easily find my Orange and Yellow Chevy camper van in the park.

Should be breaking up around 4 we think but who knows?
