MOVIE NIGHT COMING UP

Spread the word. Come on down, go on the ride, meet a bunch of good people that have been riding for many moons. The club did this a couple of years ago at an old theater in South Pas,

unfortunately the place was shut down due to some code issues. Now that a new venue had been found, this will hopefully grow into a traditional event.

SUNDAY PMC RIDE FOR A GOOD CAUSE

The good folks from Pasadena Motorcycle Club are sponsoring this ride to help under privileged kids. Check it out and do something that will help someone out. Click on the flier to get more info, or email...jmckenna1983@hotmail.com

MARCH RIDE

COME ON DOWN AND JOIN THE FUN. MEET SOME INTERESTING PEOPLE WHO TRULY ENJOY MOTORCYCLES.

COME ON BY. BEER ON YOUR OWN-LATER

MAKING UP FOR MONDAY

I don't like to use the word "epic", it's used way too much, so I won't. However, the Pismo Beach Classic Rally was in a word "FUN". The ride was amazing and made me really want to devise something to enable me to take pictures while riding.

Had to Work Friday so I missed some of the debauchery between two very unlikely bike clubs. It became very obvious to me that the times are a changing. The "young guns" are definitely making their mark and showing us grey beards (in my case half a grey beard) how to put on events. Oh yea, they party like devils. Two kegs of PBR in the bedroom and music blaring for most of the weekend, and that was at the hotel!

It's been a year now in the making. Countless hours by dedicated folks who simply LOVE MOTORCYCLES. Here are the final details to an event that is certain to be a killer. Don't miss it.

If your bike is tired of all the summer runs and needs a little attention, then just drive out to enjoy the day.

In June 1929, hundreds of riders from the Pasadena and San Francisco Motorcycle Clubs gathered just north of the pier in Pismo Beach for a group photo during the Western Federation of Motorcyclists Rally.

The panoramic shot became famous and has appeared on numerous posters, postcards and other collectibles. That was 81 years ago and the two clubs have planned to meet again at the same spot on Sept. 19 for an updated version of the picture.

"One of our members happened across the 1929 photo," said Edward Rodriguez, secretary of the Pasadena Motorcycle Club. "He did some research and discovered that this was an iconic photo. There are several people who are always selling copies of it on e-Bay and there's a restaurant in Pismo Beach that displays it on its wall and sells it to tourists.

"The idea was to have the two clubs informally meet, but it snowballed because everyone we talked to got excited about it."



The groups are hoping to renew the tradition of posing for a shot on the beach during a rally, just as was done in the 1920s.


The Pasadena Motorcycle Club was formed in 1907, making it the third oldest club in the country. The second is the San Francisco Motorcycle Club, which was established in 1904.



PMC originally began as a sporting club, holding Hare and Hound races in the orange groves and unpaved streets of Pasadena and surrounding areas. From the `30s through the `70s, the focus slightly shifted to off-road and enduro racing, but in the years that followed, complex off-road legislation and other issues compelled the organization to change into a road-riding club.



The PMC has been involved with the Pasadena Rose Parade since its early years. The group had a float in the parade in 1911 and has provided float escorts, drivers and assistants, as well as traffic control since then.



Rides are vital part of the organization. There are monthly daytime outings,which sometimes include breakfast, and summer dinner rides



"There's a heavy social aspect to us," Rodriguez said.



PMC's biggest events of the year are the March poker run and the Greenhorn Ride in May.



"Steve McQueen once rode our Greenhorn, which is really cool," Rodriguez said. "It was in the `60s. He was familiar with one of our members, Bob Green, who started the Greenhorn ride. This upcoming year is our 65th annual Greenhorn."



PMC meets 8 p.m. Mondays at 21 E. Howard in Pasadena. Membership is open to anyone who has a motorcycle. You must show up to meetings and a vote will be held to determine if you are good fit for the group.



"We've got a wide range of members," Rodriguez said. "We have people who work in the entertainment industry, we have plumbers, we have lawyers, retired policemen, it really runs the gamut. We run (in age) from early 20s to 80s. It makes the meetings very interesting."



Rodriguez lives in Encino and will be polishing up his 2009 Harley Fat Bob for the Pismo Beach Motorcycle Classic, which kicks off Sept. 18 with three different rides from Northern California and one with the PMC from Cycle Gear in Newhall. Check-in will be 7-9 a.m.



All of the riders will meet at the Rock and Roll Diner in Oceano for an afternoon of entertainment and fun, beginning with an appearance by a United States Air Force Color Guard and the singing of the National Anthem. Performances by Rubber Side Down, Tiny Television and The Blessings will follow and there will be a bike contest and other activities, as well as vendors and food.



The riders will meet at the pier at Pismo Beach 9:30 a.m. Sept. 19 for the photograph.



Anyone is welcome to participate in the events or just show up for the photo. A portion of proceeds from the event will benefit Optimist Youth Homes, James Cornell Fund and Association of Amputee Surfers. Visit http://pismobeachmotorcycleclassic.com/

PISMO BEACH MOTORCYCLE CLASSIC UPDATE !!!

Greetings from the P.B.M.C. headquarters. We have registrants from all over California,Arizona,Nevada, and even Canada pre-registered, so this is sure to be a great time.
FREE:
First the good stuff...to show our appreciation in pre-registering, we have decided to reward you with 10 free raffle tickets. We will have lots of great prizes being raffled off throughout the day, and you already have a head start. This offer is open for anyone that registers by May 31st, so tell your friends they had better hurry. (Don't be stingy with the raffle tickets, remember, givers gain!)
Gear:
We are also going to have a very limited order of T-Shirts on hand for sale Saturday, and Sunday, while supplies last. Because of the limited number, we have created an option for you to pre-order your shirts on our website at http://www.pismobeachmotorcycleclassic.com/GEAR.html Be sure to get this one of a kind collectable in your size by ordering now. All pre-orders will be waiting for you, in your check in bag, on Saturday.
Sponsorship:
We are always looking for ways to keep our cost down on the PBMC, and one of the ways you can help, and be a part of history, is to sponsor our T-Shirt, and/or donate something for one of our raffles. If you are interested in learning more, please check out our website http://www.pismobeachmotorcycleclassic.com/SPONSORS.html and contact Laura or I so we can get you signed up.
Party:
Saturdays event is shaping up nicely as well. We have just signed our first band "Rubber Side Down" http://www.rsd-music.com/ and we can't be more excited. We also have vendors lining up, to complete the street fair atmosphere. The city of Oceano Beach, has graciously granted us a permit to close the street down in from of the Rock and Roll Diner, so there will be plenty of room to mingle and enjoy some great food and drink.
The rest of the day is coming together, and I don't want to spoil any surprises, but we are looking at more bands, bikinis, trophies, food, cheer, laughs, and not necessarily in that order. Stay tuned for further details, and make sure to check out www.PismoBeachMotorcycleClassic.com for updated details.

MOVIE NIGHT ON HOLD !!!! VENUE SHUT DOWN !!!!

Just to let you know this event is on HOLD for the time being. I just got an Email from George last night and he reported that the Rialto has been condemned. Yep, the fire marshals were not impressed with the electrical system in the joint and shut it down.

PMC members are working hard to come up with a different venue for the show. If anyone has any suggestions I’m sure George (626) 818-2450 would like to hear them. Stay tuned for up-to-date information on this and the other PMC events on the official web site..
