    Just stay away from Hollywood bike night unless you want to deal with police. I really wish there was a bike night for "mature" riders, not for squids who wheelie their bikes at 100mph in 25mph school zones....

    It's Wednesday. I went there a few weeks ago for the firs time and I was pretty disappointed. It was motogp weekend, so maybe the usual suspects were already headed to Laguna Seca. I did get to see Jason Britton who dropped in.

    Are you sure it's Bravo Burger? I couldn't find on in HB online. The closest is SJC.

HB police are cracking down but I havn't had a problem yet. they show motorcycle races from previous weekend (not supermotard)

    Beach Burger (Previously called Bravo Burger) is on Wed nights and there have been some good turnouts this summer. Cool little Thai restaraunt behind it called Thai Gulf, where you can find Amauri chattin' it up sometimes.
    The Aprilia turnout is definitely on the rise. Last time I went there were (2) Factories, some tuonos, and older 01/02 RSV-R from out of state.

    The Orange County Ducati Club hosts their IBN (Italian Bike Night) on the first and third Wednesday of each month at Gelato Paradiso in Corona Del Mar. They are all super chill, welcome all Italian makes, and generally you will see Aprilias there as well.

    and then...everybody (most) thunders into the bravo burger bike night after
    "Tuono doesn't want to gently take your hand and guide you on a trip, it wants to rip it off and run away with it! I always get the feeling that to ride a Tuono you have to be a real man, prepared to fight it every step of the way, where as on the Triumph you can have an off day and not be left feeling inadequate"

    Another One

    OC Ducati (the dealer, not the club), used to meet on Thursday nights at Knowlwood's on Thursday nights on the corner of Imperial and La Palma (91 off at Imperial, north to La Palma) northwest corner. Haven't checked it out for a year or so, but a regular small gathering.

    If this is the case then I'll have to roll to it next week. I haven't been to Beach Burger in probably two years. They still have that Vietnamese chick with the big, fake titties working as manager/owner?
