Bike Feature ā€” Tribute Chopper To Garry Hughes

Camarillo is a city in Ventura County, California. Itā€™s south of the 101 Freeway and north of Pacific Coast Highway just minutes from entering Malibu along the winding coast. Camarillo is named for Adolfo and Juan Camarillo, two of the few Californios (pre-1848 California natives of Hispanic ancestry) to preserve the city's heritage after the arrival of Anglo settlers.

A good way for him to understand or compare high speed was that: "its only fast if you fall off," he said. Following in Burt's footsteps added no pressure but was rather an honour, Munro said. "I'm super-proud, super, super-privileged," he ...
