Honorable mention to Tim Frank Spitzer of Costa Mesa for his 1972 Harley Davidson Electo Glide. I heard second-hand that this bike was his father's, and Tim did the restoration on it. A unique period piece.

Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this another great event. A special thanks to John Zindler for helping out with the voting today. Debbie and Tom Hopkins were unable to attend today, I look forward to seeing them again soon.
