Second Place - Kevin Blaty

Kevin Blaty of Huntington Beach won Second with his 1964 Hodaka Ace 90.

Kevin is no stranger to our group. He and his brother's have been bringing cool bikes to our meet since the beginning. He built this bike from parts that he's gathered over the past 2 years. Not a trailer queen, he built it to ride and race.

The Blaty family has won Bike of the Month twice in the past. Bill won in January 2010 with his 1968 Hodaka H100 John won in December 2009 with his 1969 Sears SR124.

Third Place - Mark Compton

Mark Compton of Los Alamitos took Third place with his 1976 Laverda 750 SF3. Mark has owned the bike since November 2017 when it was red and he tied for second.



Just back in June 2019 Mark got Honorable Mention for his 1983 Honda CB1100F.



Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this another great event. A special thanks to Brian Tinkler, Al Haskel and Pete Whelan for helping out with the voting today. I'll see you at next month's meet, September 8, 2019.

Keep On Ridin',
