Family friendly, the smell of  meats on the &#8216;Que and a ton of shade to hide from the mid-day heat. Today  like any other Strangers show was a visual hodgepodge for eye to see.  Customs, bombs, roadsters, classics, rats, trucks and even some old  classic Schwinn bikes. Good lord, that alone brought back some memories!<\/p>\n<p>Also when you hit up a Strangers show you better be ready to see some  of the baddest pinstriping this side of Southern California.
