Huntington Beach, Calif. -
It was a great meet today, it was a little overcast and started
off slow but ended with a bunch of great bikes to check out,
including a very rare 1975 Grand Prix racing bike. 51 people showed
up to make it a great afternoon.

No So Cal Marketing Representatives for Russ Brown Motorcycle
Attorneys were available today to promote their BAM program.

Again, Phillip de Lespinay brought a 1975 Morbidelli Grand Prix racing motorcycle.
He wasn't interested in competing only here to share his passion. That gave the rest of the
field a fighting chance for a win, and we had a great competition.
We have an honorable mention page for this unique piece of history.

Congratulations to Randy Ressell of Westminster for winning Third Place with his 1935 Cyc-Auto Anthony.
Randy has been trying to win Bike of the Month for nearly 20 years with this bike!
He first rode it to our meet in June 2008.
From Randy:
1935 Prototype Motorbike
Built by the Anthony Mfg. Company
in Streator Ill.
The Anthony Mfg. Company made only two of
these motorized cycles,
one mans and one ladies model.
These prototypes were built using the
British Cyc-Auto Motor.
The plan was to import these motors and mate
them with an American styled chassis and
market them as economical transportation.
Shortly after these prototypes were finished the
Cyc-Auto company changed from this style
motor to one built by Villers.
Shortly after that change, the Cyc-Auto
Company was sold to the Scott Motorcycle Co.
The Scott Co. continued to produce Motorized
Cycles until the 1950's.
The Cyc-Auto is credited with creating the
Autocycle (as motorized bicycles were called in
England). These were built 5 years before the
first Whizzers were manufactured.

Randy has won Bike of the Month twice in the past:
October 2018 1961 Triumph/BSA
January 2015 1965 Triumph Dual Sport
Honorable Mention - Philippe de Lespinay
Philippe de Lespinay of Newport Beach with his 1975 Morbidelli Grand Prix Bike.
Honorable Mention goes out to Philippe de Lespinay of Newport Beach who owns this 1975 Morbidelli Grand Prix Bike.
This 1975 Morbidelli Grand Prix Bike is so special, that I've decided to make a special page for it: 1975 Morbidelli Grand Prix Bike page.
Philippe has won Bike of the Month once in the past and another Honorable Mention:
May 2026 (Honorable Mention) 1972 Derbi Grand Prix
April 2026 (Bike of the Month) 1966 Honda RC116
Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this another great event. Thanks to John Zindler for helping with the

Next month's meet is, August 9, 2026. I'll see you all there.
Keep On Ridin',
