Black Friday…

Things are popping at the P-51 plant, folks!   

After a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, Susie and I hopped in my orange Subie (now known as “The Tangerine”) and braved the Black Friday freeways to stop by the California Scooter factory.    I’m happy to tell you that everything is zooming right along.   The first thing that caught my eye as soon as I entered was a dynamite high performance VW engine Steve built up to show off the Pro-One accessories line…

Wow, that engine just glistened!   The funny thing about VW engines is they remind me of motorcycle engines…air cooling, horizontally-opposed cylinders, and the mechanical beauty of the things.  It’s easy to understand why VW hot rodders often remove their engine lids.   Engines this beautiful should not be hidden!

When I wandered into the factory, our folks were hard at work on the next big order….we’re sending an entire P-51 squadron to Dubai!   That’s fascinating…a bunch of folks in Dubai zooming around on California Scooters!    Take a look at just at just a few of the bikes in work and soon to be headed to the Middle East…

And before you guys start sending the “where’s Lupe?” emails to me, here you go…

We’ve had a bit of rain in the last few days, although Thanksgiving was a gorgeous So Cal day.   It was raining again this morning and there’s snow up in the mountains behind my house.   I caught a foul weather photo at the California Scooter factory showing our favorite riding region…the San Gabriel Mountains!  This is what we see every day right out the factory door (except that usually the sky is bright blue)…

Knowing So Cal, it will only be a day or two before it’s sunny again, and then I’ll be back on the Baja Blaster making another video.   I can’t wait, folks, and if you can’t wait to get on your very own CSC-150 or the street-fighting 250cc P-51, give TK or Steve a call!   Trust me on this…these guys are in a dealing mood!

I guess that’s it for now, except for one last shot I grabbed on the way out using that dynamite VW engine Steve built…

Ride safe, and keep an eye on your CSC blog!
