The Venice Vintage Motorcycle Club's annual ride and rally starts with a morning rumble up PCH to Malibu and back. Anyone – preferably on a sweet vintage bike – is welcome to meet on Abbot Kinney in front of The Stronghold with kickstands up 9 a.m. and then return for the rally starting at 11 a.m. at 2150 Dell Ave. If you purchase a ticket for the charity raffle, you could be cruising home with a 1973 Honda CB 350 G Street tracker, which was built for the event by Scott DiLalla. There will also be live music, beer garden, food trucks, vendors and, of course, the Pinup Contest.
