VINTAGE BIKE OC NEWS

16 Year Anniversary!
Huntington Beach, Calif. - A perfect summer afternoon today with a great turn-out. I took this meet over in August of 2007 with the launch of this website. I never expected it to go on and on and on for 16 years... From our small start with 16 bikes, to today's meet with 75, I'm constantly amazed. Thank you too all of you who have made this event great over the years.

We had a lot of new people this month with many bike's I've never seen. A few of which came just a little late to be entered into the Bike of the Month contest. The guy with the all chrome 1969 Harley Davidson Sportster is one of those people.
