French Dips, Doodlebugs, and 2 Weeks 2 Go!

Things are hopping, folks!

A bunch of us are riding over to Mike’s NoHo Scooters in North Hollywood, and from there we’re going to Philippe’s for dinner.  Philippe’s is actually the birth place of the French dipped sandwich (no kidding).  It’s gonna be a fun trip.  Mike said about 25 scooters of various other makes showed up on the last NoHo Scooter ride, so when we get there with our California Scooters it will make for an interesting mix.  Like many of our new dealers, Mike’s gaining traction selling California Scooters, and we’re happy to see that happening.  We’ll be taking both stock and custom bikes on this ride, so the step-through scooter crowd will get to see CSC style from one end of the spectrum to the other.   Like I said, it’s gonna be fun.

Tomorrow night will be cool, too.   We’ll have a booth at the Glendora Flashback show.  This show attracts a lot of classic and custom cars and bikes, so I know I’ll get a bunch of great photos.  I’ll post them for you in the next few days.

Hey, here’s a cool shot I grabbed yesterday….our good friend Hans is taking his beautiful new BabyDoll to the Doodlebug Reunion (Sep 17-18) in Webster City, Iowa.  

The Doodlebug was a scooter made in the late 1940s…there’s only about a thousand of them left.  Steve and I took this photo yesterday before Hans’ new bike shipped…it sure is a beautiful bike.   

More good news…we got to talking about it, and we’re leaving for Baja on the 10^th instead of the 11^th.  Yep, you got it…we are just two weeks away from our departure.  Man oh man, I am so excited about getting back to Baja on two wheels again…I just loving riding down there!  I’m going to rough out the ride plan later today and send it around to John, Simon, Arlene, and J, and I’ll post the text of that e-mail on this blog for you a bit later. 

Good times, folks.
