I'll be on my '73 Tiger, if it starts,
and we're trying to get SFMC member
and BARFer Mick-e to invite some of the BARF
Racer's CORNER crew ...

I'll be representing the BARF Adventure Riding and
Vintage Cafe subforums, and will try to have
Dust to Glory on the projector for the
BARF Baja crew ... :ride

Hope to see you
In Real Life on

BARF Vintage Cafe meet-up at the SFMC on 11/1/16 ...

Hey Vintage Cafe-ers!

The famous Sunday Morning Ride in Marin County
has been going on for over 60 years! :ride

They made a documentary about it called
"The Dawn Riders"
and Two Wheel Tramp has obtained a DVD copy ...

I'm so stoked. I got my hands on a copy of "The Dawn Riders" and John got permission for us to use the SFMC clubhouse. Everyone is welcome to attend. The folks at the SFMC are friendly as can be and the price of admission is Free 99. :laughing Let nothing stop you from the fun times!

SFMC Clubhouse 2194 Folsom @ 18th Street.

We'll be arriving at 7:30, movie starts at 8:00. I'm thinking it might be fun to add pizza to the mix so holler if you like the idea of some New York style pizza from DNA along with your fountain beverages. That way I can order the right number of pizzas. If you want pizza, bring some cash and if you want fountain beverages, don't forget to tip the nice guy manning the fountain. Proceeds from soda sales will support moto racing!

This movie is about the early days of the Sunday Morning Ride, which still happens after over 60 years! :wow So come check it out. I've invited some folks I know that do the ride, and have been for many years, to come and watch with us. arty

There's a BARF Social Gatherings thread here:

Guess I'll ride the 1973 Tiger,
if I can start it ... :laughing

see you in
San Francisco,

You're the best co-conspirator EVER.

 

[SFMCjohn]

haha ... see you tonight! :ride
and thanks for organizing
this, looking forward to
learning more about the SMR! :thumbuparty

 

[SFMCjohn]

Wow, what a great snap-shot
"The Dawn Riders" is of the
Sunday Morning Ride from the mid-1980s!

The clubhouse was packed
on a Tuesday night
with mostly
Sunday Morning Ride vets and BARFers ... :ridearty

Big "thank-you" to two wheel tramp
for organizing the evening, finding a DVD copy
of the movie, and producing a wonderful
turn-out of people eager to see this seldom-screened gem! :thumbup

 

[two wheel tramp]

John, thank you for letting us use your space. It's wonderful. Tell the rest of your club I appreciate their hospitality, too. That was a great time. I'm really happy. I got to meet some OG riders last night. :hail

Holiday Social, Saturday, 12/10 at 7pm ...

Who: BARFers and friends

What: Come watch another cool moto movie at the SFMC Clubhouse. This time we're showing "On Any Sunday" - the original one. :cool

When: 12/10/16 @ 7:00 PM. Movie starts at 7:45

Where: 2194 Folsom Street at 18th

Why: Entry to the movie is FREE. Entry to the clubhouse is FREE. We may order some pizza again, which unfortunately won't be free. :laughing Did I mention they have a fountain so you can have a soda while you watch the flick?


In the spirit of the season (love, goodwill towards your fellow man, etc.) we will have a donation jar out and we will be collecting money for Glide Memorial Church's Soup Kitchen if you wish to contribute a few bucks. They feed over 2,000 people per day. :wow

How much?: Again, this is totally free. Our goal is to get together, have some fun and raise some money for charity.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you there. :love

Our 113th Riding Season ...

The weekend near October 25th, 2017, the San Francisco Motrorcycle Club will celebrate our 113th anniversary ... :ride

Our Season opener will be Sunday March 12th Kick Stands Up 10am. We will be chasing wild flowers.

Mark your calendars for future rides!!

April 28th – 30th Indian Rick’s Pioneer Days Campout in Smartsville. Suggested donation is $30. Includes Ride on Friday and Saturday, Dinner Saturday night (bring a side dish), bonfire, and live entertainment by The Cash Prophets and other musical Guests, Breakfast Sunday morn-
ing. Also, Smartsville will be having its Pioneer Days party which includes a tractor/hay bale tour of the hydraulic mine in town. There should be lots of vintage bikes in attendance ... :cool

May 19th – 21st (Friday - Sunday) for the Pasadena MC's 110th. They will be closing down the street in front of City Hall on Saturday May 20th and we’ll ride home Sunday May 21st. Points awarded for being present on Saturday the 20th. Todd has offered to connect SFMC members with PMC members for lodging if you need, as well as finding a local hotel. Unfortunately, this ride conflicts with the OMC Sheet Iron, but PMC only turns 110 once. :thumbup

August 21st is The Eclipse Run. Looking for Hotels in Madras Oregon. Apparently, they have been booked for this event for 5 years. He called a KOA 40 miles away. They are fully booked. Then he called a Motel 6 60 miles away. They have a 3-night minimum for this event. What does that mean? That means the eclipse runs from the Pacific to the Atlantic, so your Road Captain is open to suggestions. Sounds like we'll be sleeping in the dirt around a campfire on some public land in eastern OR ... arty

MotoGP should be returning to the SFMC on Sunday nights in 2017 with the Round 1 Quatar event on 3/26 ... doors should open at 4 pm to show Moto3 with MotoGP at about 6pm ...

Of course, the SFMC has weekly meetings every
Thursday night at 18th & Folsom ...
BARFers and motorcyclists always
welcome!

I booked a campground at Crater Lake last year. 170 miles & 3 hours away from Madras. Plan on getting on the road at 6:00 am to drive up. Watch the eclipse and then drive back to Crater Lake. Once in a life time event for me. We will be in our truck camper for this trip.

All awesome stuff John.

Pasadena 110!! arty

History rolls on two wheels!! :ride

Back tire - Isn't that a Gripster? or sometimes referred to as a "Slipster".
Appropriate I suppose, for a tracker. :laughing
