Rides and Cruises
You’d think Mooneyes has a deal with the big one upstairs. Chico has been fairly lucky with the weather for the Mooneyes X-Mas Party. A couple of years ago it rained buckets, but this year another heavenly surprise. A Lunar Eclipse. Yep, a Lunar Eclipse for a Mooneyes party. Who’d a thunk it? Only for […]
As the threat of rain was to slide down the Roller Dome in Long Beach, the girls were prepping for the battle of the season. The winner of this battle of the 4th Street Retro Rollers vs The Belmont Hot Broads would go against the undefeated Bixby Rollerettes. The rain never came but the wicked […]
Potter and I rode out to the desert. Not just any desert. The Mojave Desert. That may sound daunting, but what was particularly spectacular was all the customs and hot rods out there. It was time for the Winfield/Watson show at Gene Winfields’ shop in Mojave. It was tough call. At first I was thinking. […]
While in Las Vegas for the SEMA Show, I had an opportunity to get out of the busy halls and head over to Rick’s Restorations in Downtown. You may recognize the name from the hit History Channel show “American Restoration” Rick and his crew recently moved their shop from his home about 15 miles north […]
We’ve seen their ads. You know, the ones with the vintage pinup drawings of Miss Easy and her sister Miss Easier. Well, we brought The Queen of Cars herself, Genevieve Chappell over to the Packard Industries booth at the SEMA Show. GC thought the girls were cute drawings and we thought you might prefer the […]
We’ve seen the flyers all over the place, and again at the Born Free 3 event. The West Coast Premier of The Salt Ghost-Return of the Nitro Express was going to be playing at The District. The District is a cool little bar and grill just west of the Circle in Old Towne Orange, CA. […]
– Gary Morin My boys at the Mercifuls Car Club host a weekly cruise on Thursday nights. The Cypress Cruise is at VJ’s Hamburgers on Walker St. just north of Ball Rd. in Cypress CA. The cruise night is right for friends, fun and frivol. At 7pm they have a raffle, 50/50, drivers raffle and […]
Aloha. Here’s where I may get a bit personal. I dig hawaiian kitsch. We recently joined Netflix at the house. Hawaii 5-0 is now in the top 5 “Recently Watched” programs. And, not the stupid new version, but the original from 1968. In fact, I recently repainted a patio table of a pattern I saw […]
– Tony Colombini, photos: Billy Colombini This was the best damn show ever! There I said it. Grant and the boys should be held up to the heavens. I’ve been to a lot of bike events and the quality of vendors, bikes and people was absolutely awesome. For those of you who don’t know, Born […]
The Daggers OC Car Club hosted a car show at Bigs Grill in Fullerton recently. After hitting a couple of other events, I rolled in there early in the afternoon as the show was just getting started. I almost missed the show. As I pulled in the parking lot of Bigs, there were only three […]
A Vegas Hot Spot for Gearheads. I’ve mentioned this shop before. While on our way to the Viva Las Vegas Show we got a call from our Hub Buddy, Bad Ass Bob suggesting we stop in to his favorite shop in town and check out the cars he has. Quite surprised on the open invitation […]
It’s that time of year again when the biker nation gets together for what has been billed as the largest one-day motorcycle fundraising event in Southern California. The Rip’s B.A.D. Ride. In it’s 14th year, the BAD Ride has helped to raise over 6 million dollars for the American Diabetes Association! That’s incredible and the […]
