New Year’s Eve meet in Pasadena, CA

[SoCal250]

One of my riding buddies is a member of the So Cal Norton Club and invited me to join him at their traditional end of year meet & ride, called "New Year's Eve Run for the Roses". It was a cold, foggy, and drizzling morning so by the time we made it to the meeting spot in old town Pasadena we were cold and wet. It was nice in Pasadena but the trip over there was super foggy and drizzling so hard that it was nearly sprinkling.
A lot of cool bikes showed up in front of Lucky Baldwins Pub on Colorado Blvd. (which is on the parade route for tomorrow's Rose Parade).

After the 9am gathering each year, some of the group take off around 10am on a ride up Angeles Crest Highway. We opted out of that because we were too cold already, and instead decided to grab breakfast nearby.
I ended up doing 105 miles on my final ride of 2024

Looks like it was a great time.

Which one? I'm assuming the old custom bevel. Sounded pretty good when he fired it up to leave.

That 698 Mono is the first one I've seen in the wild that wasn't a press bike or vip loaner. Pretty cool
