Put up a post whenever you decide- maybe we can get a few folks to come out, and show you the town. JWM

If you want to do some riding I'd recommend the Santa Monica to Venice Beach and Marina Del Rey bike path. This is the distilled essence of So Cal. Get off and walk the bike down the Venice Beach boardwalk; it is just crazy - One of the most fun afternoons to be had here. If you don't have a...

I'll be going for the Cyclone Coaster ride tomorrow despite the rain. (I'm stupid) John M

Bring that Dyno! I wanna' see! John M

A good morning and a happy New Year to all of the great folks who come out for the So Cal Rat Rod Ride. Our next regularly scheduled ride will be Saturday, January 12. This will be ride number 11- on our way to the incredible 13th Ride. If you've been cruising with us or if you've been thinking...

For a hundred bucks, jump on it, and ride the wheels off of it. Even if you want to get rid of it later, you can get most of your money back when you sell it. Go have fun. JWM

It was a great turnout. We missed you, Troy- look forward to seeing you at the next one. But, yeah- once again the So Cal Rat Rod Ride found a tiny corner of perfect weather in an otherwise cold and stormy week. How much better can it get? While a storm hung several hours out over the ocean, we...

How fat do you want to go? If all you have is a frame, you'll have to get fenders, and a wheel set anyway. If you get original Schwinn S7 rims, you can get the 1 3/4" tires. You will love the middleweight tire/wheel combo as soon as you ride it. If you really want a balloon tire, Kenda makes a...

Re: Electrolysis Time to Reflect Bet it would!- Soak your head in that tank for an hour and you'd never need a shave or a haircut again. JWM

OK, let's do it! Max suggested we meet up a little early what with it being shortest day of the year, and all. Let's make it 10:00am Corner of Brookhurst and Atlanta, Huntington Beach. Dress warm! Look forward to seeing everyone. John M Hey, Troy- is that a Dyno frame?

What did you get? And there will be time around Christmas and New Years... John M

Hey- Friday will be 12/21/12, and the world is supposed to end, or we're having the great moronic convulsion or something, and that will probably mean the end of the So Cal Rat Rod Ride. I mean- if we're all- you know- sucked up into some trans-dimensional world ending vortex, then we can't...

Glad you're feeling better, Max.This made up for last month's sandstorm ride. What an unexpectedly sweet day of cruising we had! The morning looked dismal, foggy, and cold. I was tired. Didn't want to make the miserable drive. The drive was really miserable, too. Traffic. But. We got there. Took...

Here's mine. I've made a few changes to the stock bike. The three speed, and seat came from Choppers US. I modified a sissy bar bracket from an OCC seat pan to fit the Choppers US saddle. The bars came from my old Dyno Moto 7. Those small additions more than double the comfortable cruising range...

Well, Cyclone Coaster got rained on today, but the good news is that the So Cal Rat Rod Ride still holds the hard core prize for bad weather at last month's Sandstorm Cruise. And the early weather forecast looks good for Saturday. See y'all at 11:00 am. John M

Love my Spoiler! It's heavy, slow, and the best attention getter on the street. When you're out on the Spoiler, people will pull their cars over and ask you about the bike. You will draw a crowd wherever you park it. It's definitely just a path cruiser, but the cool factor is so high on this...

And let's hope we don't get to earn another hard core ride prize! John

Holy cow, it's almost Christmas! And conflicts abound in this most joyful of seasons. It seems that every Christmas event in the Southland is being held on this one day: Boat parades, Christmas parades, parties everywhere. What to do? Here's what: Come on out and do a Christmas cruise. The So...

Thanks for posting the pics, Max. Glad you guys made it home OK. I spent the whole morning cleaning sand out of the bikes. I got almost half a teaspoon full of fine grit out of the chain on the red bike, but I ran out of gasoline. I had a new chain that I bought for the Spaceliner, so I just...

What was I saying? Oh, yeah: from a half serious post on facebook: Sometimes if you get enough discomfort it actually turns into fun. And then I think- What? Are you nuts? Wreck your bike with water, salt, and grit,... Well, OK- there wasn't any water. But we had discomfort! And wind. And the...
