Saw another today at noon, a 24" black cruiser frame cut with a rake, offroad handlebars and a chinese two stroke. Eastbound on Ruthraff Road and La Cholla. A dude, no helmet turned south. Heard one in that intersection on Friday night. I was waiting at the red light, it came by my truck window when I saw him, no light, no reflectors and dark clothes. I couldn't tell what kind of bike or what the rider was except he was probably soon to be known as the"Dearly Departed"

Tucson: I saw a lady last night with a red cruiser 2-stroke china motor and a basket in the front. She was going East on St. Mary's just East of SilverBell in front of the Safeway.

This lady had a bunch of that red & white reflector tape all over her bike, it really stood out.

Wow! Edge you've seen 9 in a town of 33,000. That's a good MB to human ratio. I was on 4th Ave yesterday and saw a Spooky Tooth sticker on the front of an electric bike, locked up. Today at about 11:30 I saw a 26 inch cruiser 2 stroke with ape hangers as he went north on Main crossing Speedway Blvd.

I saw a guy with a lawnmower engine on a cruiser bike up in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Empire Grade. The bike was already strapped to his Mercedes Benz station wagon. I stopped to say hello and the guy jumped in his car and put a towel on his driverside window. I rode off thinking "WOW this guy is definitely one strange individual.
I forgot to mention he had a sticker from the other forum on his gastank.

Edge, You are not far from me and I have only seen 1 the guy was going around the fountain in front of the Aquarium of the Pacific my turf for sure, I would like to find someone else to ride with. There is a bunch of guys that ride from Myron's Mopeds they used to have a few Happy bikes but I look at there site and I don't see any now. So for now it is 1 and counting. Have fun, Dave

PS: I have had a few people, counting today another, that ask for the place to get them so there should be a few more.

Tucson sighting of two bikes. First, a two stroke black cruiser with a whitewall tire on the front ,on Ruthrauff Road heading west at about 11:30 AM. A rear wheel (geared?) electric was spotted on Prince Road at Tucson Blvd at 11:55. Busy lunchtime for motorized bikes.
