VINTAGE BIKE OC NEWS

Huntington Beach, Calif. - A perfect cool November afternoon today. 115 people brought their bikes out on this Veterans Day. We took a moment to honor our Vets, and I would like to say thank you to all who have served our Country.

Bike of the Month Contest
We had a great Bike of the Month contest this month. Eugene Gacin of Hollywood took an easy win with his 1954 BMW R51/3. Eugene had just won back in July with a 1953 BMW R68. Every bike he owns is a show stopper. Eugene was awarded a $20.00 gift certificate to Beach Burgers, provided by Beach Burgers and The Scooter Solution.

Mike Dunn of San Jacinto took Second place with his 1941 Zundapp KS600. Mike is the owner of Vintage German Motorcycles of San Jacinto. Visit his web site: www.VintageGermanMotorcycles.com

Clive Brookes from the BSA Owners Club of Southern California came in third place with his 1961 BSA Super Rocket. His club's web site is: www.bsaocsc.org/

Grant Lappe of Huntington Beach usually shows up with a crowd pleaser and today it was a perfect 1974 Honda ST90. He gathered enough votes for fourth place.

Longest Distance Traveled
My cousin Arnold Knott gets the prize for Longest Distance Traveled. He's from Copenhagen Denmark and happened to be in LA on business. In Denmark Arnold rides a 1986 Kawasaki ZL600 (California model) and he promised that in four years he may consider bringing it to the meet. Arnold and I had never met until today so it made it an extra special meet for me.

Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this another great event. A special thanks to Debbie and Tom Hopkins for their help with the voting and Brian Tinkler for helping with set up and Photography. I'll see you again on December 9, 2012.

Keep On Ridin',
