The 3rd Annual Moto Concourso Motorcycle Show was held at Rock N Roll Cafe in Simi Valley, Ca this past Sunday. The event attracts a great mix of vintage domestic and international motorcycles to the area. Eric Reeves that puts on the event, does a great job of restoring motorcycles and many of his friends and customers bring out their bikes to this annual get together.
The last few years, Moto Concourso was held at the Simi Valley Community Center, but this year moved to Rock N Roll Cafe. It was a much better venue with the cafe serving up food all day, plus there was a live band playing classic rock all afternoon. There were plenty of vintage BSA, Triumph, Moto Guzzi and Husqvarna motorcycles on display.

The free show attracted a nice group of vintage motorcycles. Many local motorcycle club members all road their touring bikes or choppers over to the show.

Recognize these bikes? The New Era and Emblem motorcycles were on display at the Greystone Concours Show I attended a few weeks ago. Check out my blog post on the Greystone Show if you want to see more photos of them or the other bikes on display at that event.

This past Saturday was our Classic Ford and Mustang Show at California Car Cover. It was the second show of our 2013 Car Show Series we are hosting at our store in Chatsworth, Ca. The event attracted a nice mix of classic Fords to our headquarters for a few hours.
Our friend Mitch from eco-shine auto reconditioning conducted Golden Shine car care demonstrations throughout the day.

The show wouldn't have been as enjoyable without the support of our event sponsors. Many great companies donated items to the prize raffle. We gave out door prizes every half hour, plus had a large prize raffle at the end of the day. Proceeds from the raffle ticket sales will be donated to Movember, a men's health awareness charity California Car Cover supports.

Thanks again to everyone that attended the show. It was a great time at California Car Cover. Hopefully, some more local friends and customers can join us at our Camaro Show on June 8th. It is just a few weeks away!
I enjoy sharing my love of classic cars and traveling with my friends and colleagues. Though most days of the week you can find me at California Car Cover.
