Thanks for all of the kind words...the coolest aspect to riding with this group and others that I have found is that everyone is welcome. So Cal gets a bad rap for a lot of things-and most is deserved but these are groups where everyone is welcome. We had the 100pt restorations, the one-off custom chopper, full-optioned Sting Rays and direct from the barn (including mine) rusty riders. We had bikes from the 1930s to the 70s and the only requirement was the willingness to put in the miles...and that we do! A normal ride runs a minumum of 15 and can exceed 25 miles at a pop. That is a lot to ask for on a full boogie Aerocycle but pedal on-these ain't no museum pieces.
