Huntington Beach, Calif. - It was a warm January afternoon in HB today, almost on the hot side but as the sun dipped it cooled off quickly. Our Bike of the Month contest was a tight race between the top three contenders. 72 votes were cast and the winner only took it by one vote. 51 bikes were in the lot so many people are to drive.

Congratulations to Aaron Lopas of West Bloomfield Michigan for winning Third Place with his 1985 Suzuki RG500.

For the past four years Aaron has travelled from Michigan to Orange County to enjoy our winter riding weather. He always tries to make our meets. This year he trailered four motorcycles including his RG500.

Aaron has owned the RG500 for two years. He imported it from Canada. Just across a bride...

Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this another great event. A special thanks to John Zindler for helping out with the voting and setup.

I'll see you at next month's meet, Super Bowl Sunday, February 9, 2025.

Keep On Ridin',
