Oct 7, 8, & 9th, Sacramento CA Delta, 7th Annual Delta Whizz IN and Swap Meet, held at the Brannan Island Resort and Marina KOA, 922 West Brannan Island Road, Isleton, CA, 95641, phone (916) 777-5588, southwest of Sacramento off I-5, usually over 75 riders, here is what the organizers sent me: It's that Time Again! Our annual ride is coming up Oct. 7,8,9, If you didn't make the last ride, we moved from the state park to a KOA. The good news, lots of room, full RV hook ups, cabins with full kitchens, standard cabins that sleep 4, or tent camping sites. This new place has been a hit with the riders. The bad news, everyone has to pay their own way. Guys start rolling in Friday through Saturday morning. Whizzer Ride starts 9:30am Saturday morning, the swap meet is Sunday morning. The ride is 90 miles of winding, straight, flat, levies, draw bridge's, 24/7 free ferry crossings. There will be stops along the way for food, drinks, and R&R, and we provide chase trucks with trailers for those break downs we all dread. For you new comers: this is a classic "motorbike ride". Whizzers, Simplexs, Cushmans, Salsburys, Marmans, Super Twins, Mustangs, and anything vintage, but no Chinese 2 stroke junk please. For those that prefer a Hotel: Rogelio’s 916-777-5878, Delta Daze Inn 916-777-7777, or Rio Sands 707-374-6374.
