Default SoCal ride a big success!!!

Thanks to all that made it out to the SoCal meet-up in long beach today.
there were some awesome MB's there today and at it's peak was over 60 bikes strong!

It was the first time iv'e seen so many MB's at one time, And don't worry if you missed out, were doing it again soon so stay tuned.

WOW looks like you had a great turnout. It's really nice when a group of riders get together like that.
Glad it turned out to be a fantastic event.

It was a good event and a pretty good turnout for a first time event, but there were never 60 bikes there during the afternoon. There was a bit of turnover during the afternoon at peak attendance there were at best 24 bikes. When it came time for the lineup photo there were only 18. Still a good event and great people and bikes.

People that downplay events are the main reason people dont plan any.
I brought 6 bike myself and there was a **** of alot more than 24.
since i planned the event (though a couple others took credit for it yesterday) i was first there and last to leave so i have a good idea of how many were there (including a group of 9 riders who thought it was the start point of a ride and decided to do so)

ever heard of hyping an event so it gets stronger each time out . im trying to make this a regular event and negative comments (just to be right) doesnt help any of us.

It was awesome! met some really cool people with great tips, ideas and saw impressive bikes. I felt slightly drawn back at first due to not knowing anyone and being my first time, however, left with a positive attitude towards this great community. Hopefully these type of meets become more frequent. THanks Rock

Daryl, that bike of yours is bada$$... thanks for offering to let me ride the ol' MP

24 bikes or 60 bikes, still seems like a GREAT event. Very nice MB's..............
