Congratulations to Doug Rickertsen of Huntington Beach for winning Bike of the Month with his 1987 Honda CR500 Super Moto. Doug won a plaque provided by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys.

Doug has owned the bike for 2 years, and just recently finished the restoration and modifications to turn it into a Super Moto. Doug told me that he named his son Collin so that his initials would be CR.

He has won Bike of the Month six times in the past.
