Welcome to the forum! You might want to check out the Member Map and see who's on there near you. There should be at least a dozen, I myself lived not far from HB up until a year ago. There are also several track events coming up where you can meet a bunch of SoCal members and get some track time!

Yes, the car and bike show happens every Saturday morning from dawn to around 8:30-9:00. It's very informal and relaxed. When I don't feel like riding, I just drive my truck and enjoy the gathering of vintage wheels. Search my threads and you'll find a lot of photos and posts.

So got the bike back in tuned today, rode from magnolia and garfeild (home) to hb peir, it was running great. Started heading home and noticed my rear hub was a tad loose, got it home took it apart, it was time to re grease the bearings, when i tokk it apart all 3 bearings and the 2 outers cups were destroyed, so now i need new bearings, the cup for the coaster arm, and sprocket(sprocket and cup is one peice). I looked into sealed bearing hubs but there $$$, im just going to drill and tap the hub for a zirk fitting so it doest have to be dissassembled to get serviced,
