Rooster Cafe Motorcycle Rally May 2008

May 4, 2008


rooster-2008-05.jpg The Rooster Cafe, located in Costa Mesa in Orange County, CA, hosts a vintage motorcycle rally on the first Sunday of every month. They have tables outside so you can enjoy the great food, beautiful Southern California weather and interesting bikes. They are right near the Extreme Dream Rider shop. Thus, it is a great place to meet someone before the ride if you are renting one of our bikes. I have included some pictures of some of the cool bikes I saw today.

Scott is the owner of this beautiful Harley. Notice the stick shift on the left side by the gas tank and the kick starter on the right side.

bernelli-1966-jason.jpg 1966 Bernelli

Jason traveled all the way from Santa Barbara, CA to show off this beautifully restored 1966 Bernelli. It has a two stroke 125cc engine. He said the bike tracks very well even at its top speed of about 62 MPH thanks to the steering damper. The steering damper was stock for this bike way back in 1966.

Bruce said he may have lots of other bikes throughout his life but he hopes to always hang on to this classic 850cc El Dorado. It has been very dependable and still runs great on the freeway.

It is hard to believe this custom hard tail started out as a Honda CBR.

yamaha-400-roger.jpg Yamaha Daytona Special 400
This Daytona 400, owned by Roger Arreola of Wicked Motorsports, brings back memories as the first street bike I ever road. I could not believe so much horsepower could come out of a 400cc two stroke motor even if it was highly modified. It nearly pulled my arms out of socket when I snapped the throttle open. I remember my friend, Crazy Craig, passing me on the freeway on his Daytone 400 at about 80 mph on one wheel!

This nice Harley hardtail custom has a 96″ S&S motor and 6 speed transmission.

On the first Sunday of each month, the Rooster Cafe hosts a gathering of vintage motorcycles. This is a great place to stop by and see beautifully restored motorcycles including Triumph, Norton, BSA and Harley-Davidson. The Rooster Cafe also serves excellent food which makes this a great place to plan to meet for a Sunday ride. While you are waiting for that one buddy that is always late, you can be enjoying a great breakfast and admiring some interesting bikes. The Rooster Cafe is located at 750 Saint Clair St., Costa Mesa 92626 (corner of Saint Clair and Randolph). They are just two buildings down from the Extreme Dream Rider shop. I eat there often and everything I have had has been great. My favorites are the Breakfast Burrito and French Dip sandwich.

If one of your buddy’s no longer has a bike, have them meet you there for breakfast and rent a bike from us!
