Moto Guzzi
Moto Guzzi celebrated the launch of their new California 1400 Touring and Custom motorcycles at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel on Friday. April 5, 2013 Moto Guzzi gained prominence in the American market via its exclusive contract with the LAPD and California Highway Patrol, over 40 years ago. In 1970, Moto Guzzi won the first motorcycle fleet contract in America ever awarded to a foreign manufacturer and developed the California model for the LAPD and the California Highway Patrol. It was this model that propelled the Italian brand to success in the U.S. market. The Moto Guzzi California designed for the LAPD was decidedly different from the base model V7 sold in dealerships. The California featured an oversized saddle, bullhorn handlebars, platform footrests and an abundance of chrome protection. Since then, seven generations and four engine capacities (750, 850, 1000, 1100) have alternated in more than 100,000 units manufactured. Founded in 1921, Moto Guzzi is Europe’s oldest continuously operating manufacturer of motorcycles. The brand continues to produce bikes from its original location on the shores of Lake Como in the village of Mandello del Lario, Italy.

Whale Bone Workoutâ„¢
Whale Bone Workout - Images by Fabian Lewkowicz
"Working out with whale bones is far superior to traditional weights, dumbbells or kettle-bells," said Personal Trainer Fabian Lewkowicz. "Whale bones are nature's greatest workout equipment. They are highly versatile and can be used for any number of exercises. The imbalance weight engages significantly more muscle fiber and uses more of your core resulting in a more intense strength training workout."
Heal the Bay Program Manager Tara Finch has been taking the Whale Bone Workout class for 6 weeks, "This is by far the best and most effective exercise class I have ever taking! I have lost 15 pounds of fat and increased my strength by 75%!" she said, "and it's so much fun!'
The Whale Bone Workout is designed to target the entire body. It increases your lean body mass while reducing body fat and increasing overall conditioning, strength and stamina.
The Whale Bone Workout classes are $12.00 or $10 for Heal the Bay members. The classes are held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 am at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium.
