THANKS FOR ALL THE NICE PICS OF BIKES AND PARTS FROM BICYCLE LARRY

Another fine day out enjoying this crazy hobby of ours.
Here’s a few pics from the ride and the lunch that followed.

EL HEMI was just a little too much for a guy named, FordMike.

That’s Frank about to dive into the biggest chicken sandwich west of the Mississippi.
Crazy huge!

Mark, @tripple3 you’re probably safe taking off the helmet indoors!

I know. i'm Safe.
Funny, there are a bunch of beach folks, that don't recognize me without it.
Super-Awesome, Amazing day.
Thanks Mike, Steve, and all the rest of Overtown for a great event.
My day started in the lil' black 2001 Honda, CRV with 333,333 miles
rolled at Sunrise:

Ride a bike for the breeze it creates....

Brought this back to Monrovia, it's "BirthPlace". @rustjunkie
See some of you tomorrow,
in Old Towne Orange.

While Frank looks great on the Autocycle, I’m envious of Steve on that high wheel! It looks like that’s why Mark is riding the Blubird and somehow @fordmike65 is on the grass tuckered out with a Schwinn nearby?! blasphemy!

Shame I missed this. Had to attend a bday party but I’ll make it next time. What fun! I def would have made room for some tires, fenders and chains. The green Columbia would’ve been tempting, as well. Does that Brewery really dedicate that much space to displaying bicycles? If so, that’s pretty awesome of them

I'd like to thank EVERYONE who showed up and made this event a great success! I ran around with little sleep from Thursday afternoon til Saturday evening, but it was so worth it! Lots of vendors, tons of parts and bikes for sale and so many great bikes on display! Oh...and don't forget the delicious BBQ and refreshing brews! It was a lil warm but I'm glad several joined me in a short ride around town. I was great to see out of town faces including @slick , @JAF/CO and @island schwinn ! You know it's serious when Jim shows up! A few asked when the next one would be, so please keep a lookout for the next event! Maybe next time I'll have time to unload my truck and sell some parts! See you next time....

A few pics I managed to snap while running around...

I am very grateful to see so many people flock to the small town of Monrovia to share their love of old bikes. There were plenty of friends to talk to, parts to buy, displays bikes to see, Bbq to eat (best beef brisket I’ve ever eaten) and, of course, plenty of beer on tap. What a perfect day.

I’d catch @fordmike65 napping in his truck or sometimes on other people’s lawns throughout the day. He put so much time and energy into making sure gates were open at the crack of dawn, that vendors had spaces, displays were hung, flyers were posted, and riders had a memorable tour of Monrovia.

I didn’t find the opportunity to take many photos but here are the few that I managed…
