July Vintage Bike OC Meet
Suzuki Rotary

Huntington Beach, Calif. - I was working remotely from Michigan so we had a crack-team of of great volunteers helping this month. A big thanks to John Zindler, Brian "Tink" Tinkler, Ken Deagle and Jinx Verona for helping out. It sounds and looks like it was a great meet with 70 bikes showing up.

We don't get a lot of Suzuki's showing up to our meet. This month we had two fairly rare ones. A 1977 Suzuki GT 750 (Water Buffalo) and a 1975 Suzuki RE5 Rotary both of which are rarely seen at the meet.

Interesting Rare Suzuki
1975 Suzuki RE5 Rotary
It was an strong showing for Suzuki's this month with a rare 1975 Suzuki RE5 Rotary also showing up. I'm not sure who owned this beauty, but we've only had a couple over the history of the meet.

Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this another great event. A special thanks to John Zindler, Brian Tinkler, Ken Deagle and Jinx Verona for helping out with the voting. I'll see you at next month's meet, August 14, 2022.

Keep On Ridin',
