West Coast Whizzers (club)

Hi Whizzerinos! Well some of the guys out here on the Gold Coast have decided to band together and form a club.

Dues will be cheap, and full disclosure of finantial matters will be the order of the day. We are banging around the idea of 3 rides a year, tho 2 are settled upon at this time. We think that Spring and Fall are the times to plan on, tho some thought is being given to the idea of a Mid-Summer Ride, if we can figure out a cool enuf place.

We are open to Vintage and Modern Whizzers, and any other Motorized bikes that can stand the pace.

We will do a newsletter, and some free advertising, and it will prove to be a great way to meet other Whizzer owners.

One thing I was thinking is that it would be a great thing to have an idea where everyone is located, and who would find themselves interested in a Camp-out Whizzer meet in North CA. (Sometimes for sure in the Delta).

Tell us here what you-all think about this, and I will start another thread about where you-all are located.

Any chance that there are any Whizzerers in SoCal? This would be fun to do down LA and south too. I'm in OC- Anyone local that wants to do something similar?

Hi all, I dunno what goes on in SoCal, we are planning 2 Whiz-In's here, in the California Delta, and I know a little about a Central Coast ride. Might want to put out a call here and other places to get to know local riders?

So, the title says a bunch of it! We are looking at May 1, 2, 3, in the California Delta. Friday night setup and camp (if you want) saturday am the Ride, sat pm a bring-yer-own-meat BBQ planned.

Sunday AM a vintage bike, Whizzer, and Motorbike related stuff swap meet. Mark your caladers, set alarms on your computer, what-ever it takes to remember to come out and meet a bunch of the gang at the First Annual West Coast Whizzer ride.

Check with me if you need details, and pics of last fall's ride are availble.

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?

Mike
