Living in Southern California, you can see how easily one can get tainted in thinking that EVERYONE owns, drives or is in the process of building some custom ride (i.e. bike or car), simply because of the sheer number of customs you see at cruise nights or shows. From seeing 32′ highboys at the gas station to cruising down Hwy 55 beside a group of Camaro’s, or checking out the next door neighbors radical Triumph, (BSA, Honda or Iron Head), you do start to take the “availability of them” for granted. Well at least until you get a dose of reality while visiting or talking with friends back on the east coast where we’re originally from. Granted, there are some radical builders 
and cars back in our old stomping grounds and we’ve had some ourselves, however what IS different on the west coast is that; 1) there are more sunny days to drive-the-rides; 2) the sheer volume of cars in one concentrated spot (we’re in Orange County-the meca of custom cars); and 3) the car clubs and drive-in events are off the chart in sheer numbers! So, while we’ve feverishly trying to finish our own 67 C-10 custom build for our “time-in-the-sun” opportunity, we’re just walking, driving around with our eye’s peeled for just a glimpse of someone else’s idea of cool.
