"So-Cal Cycle Show & Swap Meet"
Today Sunday March 25th is "So-Cal Cycle Show & Swap Meet" at Long Beach Veterans Stadium. Personally like this event as I get to see Japanese bikes which I don't even get to see in Japan.

My generation bikes like Honda CB, Monkey, Yamaha DT250 are still many existing.

The first bike I bought was Honda Monkey. I didn't have enough money but I went to look the Rikuo (Knock down prodction HD) in Ueno, Tokyo but I ended up with buying Honda Monkey Z50Z. I think it was about 25,000yen (about US$240.00). I didn't have more money but I don't know why I was thinking I could buy Rikuo which was last model and priced about 350,000yen (about US$2,900.00). The Honda Monkey I bout back then is still at MOONEYES Area-1 in Honmoku Yokohama.

Honda Monkey is priced high in USA too. There were many out there at Long Beach too. The Long Beach "So-Cal Cycle Show & Swap Meet" had not so many entry in few years ago and it was fun to find good parts in deserted Swap Meet.

Especially finding Japanese bike parts, "still these parts exist?" or "Doesn't this look like Gettukou-Kamen (the old Japanese TV drama with main character rider on bike) ?" There were bikes that will never get to see in Japan sitting like so ordinary thing in this Swap Meet. Plus HD has increased.

Today I thought Triumphs are getting out there. And more of a Bobber than a Chopper. Triumph, with original ridged frames (the non original ridged looks too long for me). Young generation are into Triumphs.

The "Another World of Chopper" is Chopper Book other than HD made as sub magazine from "Crusin' magazine" in Japan and will be out soon around April 10th. I am looking forward to see as many Triumphs are said to be shown on this magazine. These Triumphs are making own style and scene in Southern California.

There was message from Yoshi, friend of mine that the engine was fired up so I went to check it out. There was build up with low narrow compact cool Triumph, front has springer cut to fit 275-21 tire which looks perfect. Please ride in on Saturday July 14th MOONEYES USA Open House. Thank you!
