I know it's not ancient but it's 1991 at Tomales in Marin County. I've got my FZR400 and my riding mentors had the CBR600F2 and BMW R100GS (?).

This was when I started doing the SMR (Sunday Morning Ride) starting at 730am at Tam's Junction.

Anyone still do this ride?

cool pics, thanks for bumping the thread! :thumbup

did the SMR a couple years ago with two wheel tramp on my ‘73 Triumph Tiger and had fun ... get the impression from twt that the SMR is still going strong, think she’s a regular recent participant:

... I was not the only vintage bike to show up at 7 am at the Starbucks in
Tam Junction ... Gil had just finished the Moto Melee on this '74 Suzuki Titan
... he was riding it two-up with his teenage daughter ... :ride

Two buddies and I rode from Dixon to the top of Mt. Diablo. Good times.

Baja, just down to San Felipe area. Lots of desolate desert, long ways between gas stops, strapping spam behind the cylinders for a hot lunch, Spam and Bimbo bread for dinner, yum! :laughing

I've got a few photos from years past. This first one is of a side car rig that made a number of appearances at Seca through the years when they ran side car races. The head was part of the bike and it was raced as you see it.

This photo is of one of my brothers at workers camp after the events of Saturday. The beer flowed freely. And I have no idea who the guy on the left is. Perhaps one of you knows who it is. He was working with the regular corner workers. Me and two of my brothers were with the National Motorcycle Patrol back then, hence the blue shirts.

This next photo is of me and my brother, taking a break between races up at the corkscrew. We were both with the National Motorcycle Patrol. I'm on the right.
