Vintage vid thread

Vintage 8mm film

Hi all. Long time, no see.
Just thought I’d share this film clip. It’s 8 minutes of 8mm film shot during the late 30’s in or around Eugene, Oregon during the 1930’s.
Pretty random stuff, but authentic. I was given 10 reels of film, each 200 ft, or about 15 minutes. I had it professionally scanned to mpeg format about 3 years ago. The film was on its last legs, and would probably not have held up for more than a couple more passes through a projector
Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for sharing. Great footage.
I love the cars in the background during the slalom section. Beautiful.

That is awesome John. :thumbup

I am amazed at how many guys I can name as their #'s fly by.
The champ changing his own tires... how things have changed.

So many good times at the SJ Mile. First one was 1969 I believe thanks to a friends father who would pack up his sons friends and take us out there.

Certainly helped that young lad get addicted to the sport.
 
I think this showed up on barf but I thought I would add to this thread. Pretty good.

Quite a few links have gone dead. Must have been copyright our something. :dunno

Go to 19;36 for Butch's twin giving an explanation on what it is like riding a motorcycle.
It goes for almost 2 min's and is... Really cool. :thumbup

Was watching this doc with my 2.5 year old son last week. Every time they had a shot of a start or a bunch of bikes attacking a corner together, he'd exclaim "Go, bikes! Go, bikes! Go, bikes!"
 
Ha...! Nice.

I remember my son being so exited seeing motorcycles on the street when young. He knew I was into it and it became a bonding thing when he point to them and said
"Daddy.. mo sci guy... mo sci guy"
 
Keeping the old school fun going! All you need is a pre-1916 bike to join the fun!

"Cannon Ball" Baker started the fun.

The Ace 90 blurred my 11 yo eyes... F@@@@@@CKing fast. :teeth

The vid gets life deep moody at the end discussing how the company died. Kind of cool. Thank you Hodaka.
 
this is brilliant … about Mr Honda, the IoM and the Grand Prix championship series, and why we race motorcycles:

for the Honda fans among us, found these vids mesmerizing.

provide some insight into how much work goes into resurrecting/restoring some of the old sport bikes we grew up with, now that we’re all getting vintage …

“Restoration Of A Ruined Legend - Honda VFR 400 NC30” engine work:

and body and paint restoration:
