Here are some vids from the Cali trip...

The Captain Canada thing is mind boggling in that who fits cloths from 41 years ago ? I have cloths from 41 years ago, but...........            And leather jackets, I've noticed, shrink on the hangar every winter for some reason...... So, what gives here ??

....these guys were supposed to blast past the camera operator.........

..........one nail-in-the -tire, and one dying battery. Not bad for 3250 kms.....

And 41 years to day....................
Traveled with really kind, considerate, thoughtful, caring guys. A sentimental moment ..  (Venus stuff)

...........here endeth the Cali Blog.......

Stay tuned for the next         BIG EVENT

THE MAIN EVENT

Ok Blog followers, the big blog is here..............

Some have a way with words, some can wax poetically, and some are high tech electronic guys.....meaning this blogger is deferring to a co-author  (like BIL). John has all the attributes of director, writer, producer, camera man, actor, sound & video editor, makeup artist, best boy & grip.

( There'll be the odd post-event  pic, vid, and commentary on this blog;
however, the live action stuff is located at www.oldhog49.blogspopt.ca. )

Intermission :

1st & 2nd

WOW  --  here's a quiz for discerning viewers.  Gen Y is on a SuperMoto (???). Bob is on his 248cc crotch rocket. Al has the Devil's bike (#666). John is on the 850cc making it's first big run. And that leaves me, and yet, there are still 2 other bikes in the pictures...........................

(Can't stand how a blog needs to be read from the bottom up - who reads a book backwards ?)

(Major production issues. Snippet 3 is a Gen Y post. Vids are pending, no commentary. If unsuccessful, the the blog is toast (like BIL). The word 'snippet is also toast.)

The following is the gathering for the Circle Route -  and John's 850 Norton's maiden !

Ran flawlessly, but the great big smile plastered on his mug (Nortons do that) was hard to take after the first 30 minutes........... 

And then, the vid card was out of memory. Either inexperience, bad memory, or incompetence....

Snippet 3

By waving the red flag at the end of the driveway (the chair), I'm inviting what ? Neighbor conflict ? Chair wars ? A feud ? We'll see............

(PS Apparently I'm either rusty, or incompetent; or in desperate need of BIL... 1&2 have been edited - hopefully 3 works out )
