Vintage Motorcycle Hillclimb Part 1

[justjam38]

This hillclimb was not at the Cherryland Eagles M/C club on Cedar Run Rd TC this was before . It's the Cherryland Eagles putting the hillclimb on at Copemish MI, this was 1959 & before we owned the property on Cedar Run.

*+The guy on the right string at the bottom of the hill is Don Philo from TC & the other send of the string on the left is George Peck of Kewadien.

The sign in pt 2 at the end is in our garage. My hubby, Earl Moss, was 1 of the charter members of the Cherryland Eagles in 1957 & I joined in 1964. It disbanded in the 1980's. Only 2 charter members are still alive.

No sound in these old 8mm movies, but the Lynyrd Skynyrd's groove is a good replacement !

Great stuff! Riding any street bike on such a course would be challenging, even now, and the bikes here look like they're straight off the street

the last comment, very well put!

ON todays bikes, that would be called a jump, but take a trip back in time, and throw a leg over one of those machines, and your whole world changes, it becomes a hill again !
