Long Beach, CA Ride Sun April 3rd from El Dorado Park
- Thread starter bairdco
- Start date
Had a great time hanging at the bar with Jeff, Jeremy , Jen , Norm, flex-man and Shawn. I'm still a little hung over 
.
.
My liver hurts!!!
Yes, it's true.... all the 'LA heads' broke off from the ride & went to a little biker bar named 'Mothers' on PCH & drank all day!!
It was the best party in town with a kewl blues band & the coldest beer in town!!
When we first pulled up at the bar, everyone came outside to look at our bikes & they were telling us that they saw all 30 of us riding past & they were hoping that we'd come back!
This was a great ride, but in a way, I'm kinda glad we didn't make it down to HB to end up getting tickets for not having plates on our bikes!!

it was great getting to know the community and learning how to fix a mb on the fly.
I suffered a couple of potential tragedies when my muffler cracked at the weld and started rolling down the PCH.
then I had a couple of fellow message boarders replace my clutch at a gas station while the chase vehicle caught up with us with my red hot muffler.
THEN, on the way back up Studebaker, about a mile away from the park, my pivot bolt on my front fork COMES COMPLETELY OUT at 25 mph...
I signaled to the chase vehicle again, pulled over, and called it a day.
overall I had a blast though and am grateful- of all days to have a complete breakdown, I had some real knowledgeable folk helping me out...
thanks edgar, mo sean and paul...
any chance of making that video public?

Hey, Ray. Those were the best looking late model Whizzers I've ever seen. Had a great time riding with you guys.
I missed it and it sounded like a good time... if anyone is down for a weekend ride let me know in OC. I have never been riding with others would love to cruise PM me if your down
I had a GREAT time. Fairly new to these things so this was my longest trip so far. Really enjoy seeing all the creative ideas and workmanship.
Hope we all do this again soon.
RE: Video
Tried to capture it to my computer but no luck.
Didn't see a way to download it.
Is there another way to post it so this is possible?

Yes indeed... Cool pics. She was on it with photography/video. Nice lady too. Thanks for posting.
Haha..! Yeah, didn't recognize you at first, but the accent seemed familiar. Good seeing you as well. I still have have all the bikes, except I keep them at the shop in Burbank. However, you should still come over one of these days though. We'll make an LA ride soon.
Good ride! Managed to avoid the fuzz. Need to work on my top speed to keep up with you deuces.
