| Woodley Park 2006 Two-Stroke
Extravaganza... just a few of the bikes |
| |
|
Of all of the two-stroke extravaganzas we've done, this one really
rocked the entire Woodley Park, no small feat I'm told. The vast array
of beautiful bikes was almost as incredible as the level of finish of
the average bike in the show. The RD guru of OC & Hooligan president Jay
Mendoza, was once again, the man of the show, as chairman of the judging
comittee. With such tough competition, Jay had a tougher job than
usual. His standards have a lot to do with the overall quality of the
show, as he has set the bar high over the years. The majority of the
entrants were truly, of museum & concours quality.
And very few of these are trailer queens! Nearly every bike there started & ran
as well as it looked, except for a few, like that of my buddy Al Lopa,
whose immaculate stock '76 RD400, siezed on the freeway on the way to
the show. Dozens of RG500's & RZV's & just about every other exotic were
there to make us all drool with envy, as well as a few obscure specimens
such as a 125 Runi and a 1959 Berkeley car powered by a 328cc Excelsior
2-stroke twin! I am still amazed at the turnout and feedback. The crowd
was full of such notables as Jay Leno, Dan Gurney, and Perry King.
Hundreds, maybe well over a thousand motorcycle enthusiasts showed up &
ate some of the best bbq burgers in the world, thanks to beef guru, Stan
Mendell. Lots of t-shirts & oil was raffled off, in fact, an employee
Curtis who was raffling off the t-shirts & oil, got real generous & gave
away complete cases of Motul for each winning ticket! I got away from
the raffle area to mingle as soon as I handed him the mike, and didn't
hear about it for a couple of hours later. One happy winner was even a
motorcycle dealer who came in a huge transporter. I'm sure that oil went
right onto the shelf as soon as he got to the shop! Dozens of t-shirts
sold, until we ran out - all in about 20 minutes. People were walking
away with money in their hand for the rest of the show. We'll bring more
next year, for sure! Event
t-shirts are available if you missed out on one, just call us. Thanks to
all for making this such a successful event. We hope to see you all next
year at the 10th annual extravaganza. |
