2008 Easter Ride to Mt. Tam - San Francisco

Shot with my little dinky camera -- The annual Easter ride & hike to Mt. Tamalpais (just north of San Francisco) have been going on for almost a century, and for the last few decades the moto people have more or less taken over (about 300 motorcycle riders show each year). 2008 was my 7th year, and also this year it was stunningly beautiful to watch the sunrise from the 2,571 feet summit. As always, everything from Italian marquis to vintage rat-bikes showed, (although this year I had to take the roadster since my bike is in the shop). It's also cool to see how everyone, including pooches and the constabulary, could handle my silly impositions.

What is this song and who performs it?

[PeerLanda]

It's a Bach piece.

Who is that DORK riding in front of the camera at the end of this video. Maybe he should stick to video games in future. My Mommy rides faster than that and don't need to put her feet down at every turn. What a Nonce.

Well, since there was a lot of gravel (after the mountain snow) that portion of the road was all tiptoe conditions. But yet, I take my hat off to your mother -- she must be a hell of a rider.

Thanks for making me aware of events like these...now I just have to make it out there!

Btw...you sure have a way with the ladies ;)

[SidVisiousSimon]

Nice.

Yes I know what a dual sport is all about, do you ? Look at the video, look a his style, then go look at the road. I wonder if the guy in question even gives a flying fuck about what I think, more power to him. Go ride how you like, I promise I'll never again bag on anyone here for riding like a fucking retard.

Good luck and for crying out loud please, please try and develop a sense of humour.

Now all of you please FUCK OFF, I'm truly SORRY I ever posted anything!

Ummmm...you do realize he was riding a dualsport/supermoto right Mr. 35 years of riding? That's kinda how it's done.

[blakkenbloo]

Do you actually have a crush on the guy I insulted or are you just bored and looking for trouble? Maybe you don't think he's capable of defending his squeemish riding style on his own ? I've re-watched the video and I still don't think he needed to ride like that, super motard or not. I was there, were you ? I only posted a comment here because I was bored and thought it was funny, if you don't like it fine. I didn't expect to get into a war of words with a dyslexic hipster.

[Farkeer]

You talking about "ghey"? Welcome to the internets old man. I bet you can ride without putting your knee down too huh?

[blakkenbloo]

Yup I'm fucking awesome. I can ride without putting my feet down and I can spell.

[DarkNinja75]

Super Motard.
