May Vintage Bike OC Meet
1973 Honda CB450

Huntington Beach, Calif. - Happy Mother's Day! There was a mixed weather report today, it was supposed to be mostly cloudy, but the weather was great and so was the turnout with 28 bikes in attendance.

It was a nice relaxing afternoon. Debbie Hopkins and her mom both volunteered to help pass out voting ballots. It was great to have several mother's at the meet, but hey, where else would you want to spend Mother's Day?

Bike(s) of the Month
The voting was spread fairly wide for Bike of the Month today. Four bikes nearly tied for the award, but ultimately Steve Davenport of Placentia won with his 1963 Honda CL72.

Mike Jongblood came in second place with his 1954 Velocette. Mike says this Velocette is sort of a mutt. The frame is a '54 and the engine is a 1946 KSS 350. The single overhead cam engine has been bored out to 417cc and uses a Ford 239 piston. My favorite part of his bike is the Coors can custom generator cover. It just reaks of Concours d'Elegance.

Hokan Martensson and Graig Gray tied for third. Hokan's 1969 Triumph TR6R and Craig's 1973 Honda CB450 are both great bikes. The Triumph is a very clean restoration, but the Honda is 100% original, including paint. Check out all these bikes in the May gallery.

Thanks again to everyone for showing up and making this another great event. I'll see you again on June 13, 2010.

Keep On Ridin',
