Ron Bishop smoking a cigarette on the starting line of A Checkers Hare and Hound when suddenly the banner was blown up with dynamite! Boom! Mid 1960's 8mm action in California. Old cars and trucks, old bikes, young people. Song playing is "Ashes and Dust" by the group "Menchen".

  • that is some sweet vintage footage --- was there no audio? It would be cool to hear the motors and spectators.

  • 1960's hand held 8mm camera, no audio.

  • Geez that takes me back. When a dead engine start was a challenge to see who could get their bike started, and who forgot to turn on their gas petcock, smoke at the end of the bomb run, lining up with a BSA 441 with strait pipes on on side and a Hodaka Ace 90, toaster tank, on the other. Creosote, bean oil and lots of dust. Scatter my ashes on the bomb run.

  • My uncle and lots of family friends were members of the Spoke Benders back in the 60's-70's... I remember going to the races and riding my Yamaha Mini-Enduro 60 around pretending to me one of the racers. I got lost once during a race at Soggy Dry Lake at 8 years old. I was lost most of the day and pulled in to a check point to ask directions. They thought I was crazy being out there alone. I followed a guy back to the start/finish line who had a flat tire. Got back to camp as I ran out of gas

  • My dad raced desert bikes in the 1960's. He was a member of the Spoke Benders club. Good to see those days again. Thanks.

  • The audio is completely out of character with the vintage of the video. It doesn't work.

  • EXCELLENT!!!!! The good old days of open desert, no fences and good dusty fun.

  • SICK FOOTY! Thanks for sharing!

  • damn i see some checkers!
