| Yep, this is how my Sunday started, at the DROWSports Store getting ready for Super Sunday. In the background is Jay. He is the proud new owner of a GY6 swapped Honda Ruckus who moved from Georgia. Before then, he only rode his GET powered, 49cc Ruckus for about 25 miles. This would be the longest he's rode his Ruckus and would be glad of the GY6 swap later! |
My duty in this Super Sunday was not only to act as media, but also help out downed riders in the DROWSports Chase Truck. Well, we called it a “Chase Truck” because we thought that sounded cooler than “Support Vehicle.” I arrived at 7am to meet with the DROWSports and a small portion of Long Beach riders at DROWSports, in Signal Hill. With Ricky Bobby, the driver for this Super Sunday, and me in the Chase Truck, we went off at 7:30am to meet up with the rest of the Long Beach riders at a Starbucks off of Lakewood Avenue. After getting everyone ready, we made tracks for the starting point of Super Sunday, The Hat.

| This was how the ride up to The Hat mostly looked like. It was a nice and easy ride that flowed through Lakewood, El Monte, and finally to Temple City and The Hat. |

| Custom Honda Cub! I thought it looked cool and had a great vintage bike look. |

There were so many riders that showed up! They ranged from nearly stock Honda Ruckus, Vespas, and Yamaha Zumas, to wild one-offs and fully custom builds. Rucksters and Standard Functions both brought out turbocharged Ruckus Scooters, which both used a Yamaha Zuma 125 engine and a small turbo. While both bikes seem similar by just saying that, they each had a character of their own!

| Where most of the Long Beach and DROWSports bikes lined up. Some hung around the “Chase Truck.” |
 |
| Scooters on scooters and more scooters! We took over the parking lot of The Hat! You may wonder why in some of the mentions of Super Sunday you see “The HATe.” Well the backstory is, unfortunately, with so many scooters, we take over the whole lot. The owner got mad one time and ever since then, it's been given that nickname. The Hat was closed for this event, so there were no worries this time! |
After drooling over the many good looking custom bikes, the riders meeting took place over at the Killer Scooter Support Truck. There, words of caution and safety were preached and hints about the ride were given, but never full details on where we would be going. This is what makes Super Sundays so interesting, the adventure that is the ride!
