Old Scrambler at Bonneville BUB Speed Trials
« on: September 20, 2009, 08:37:07 pm »
My brother-in-law David and I just completed a van with trailer trip of 22 days.  We each had our original SOHC 750s in the trailer to ride through the scenic parks and monuments of Utah.  Our first stop was at the Flaming Gorge monument where we camped for two days and road our bikes about 220 miles around the gorge and over the dam on the Green River.  Good paved roads with a few twisties and lots of scenery.  Then we arrived in Wendover for the BUB Speed Trials at Bonneville.  For a few days there were 4 CB750s (all with original pipes) in the parking lot at the Peppermill Casino Hotel. My K3, David's K4, Frank (754 from this board) on his black K4, and a new friend Bill, on his nearly new K4 with a trailer.  More later.........Here's a few pics.........

I could mention that even at my age, one or two available females wanted company.........or I could tell you how stinking drunk my brother-in-law was for a few days.........he doesn't drink at home. Oh yes, Bill took the 1st-place trophy at the MOTORCYCLE CLASSICS bike show in Tooele!  When the AHRMA races (everyone has to see the Le Manz start to the CB160 event) were finished on Sunday at Miller Motorsports Park the track officials allow Bill and me to ride our 750s around the course.  Bill had his Blonde on the pillion with a video camera.  I stayed at a cool 35 mph for one lap and just enjoyed seeing the lines (rubber) on the track from the go-fast guys and gals.

And then there was the adventure at the 4-Corners, sand-storm.....hail..........snow...........rain....high winds..........and I didn't have my riding jacket.  We did a few miles on Route 66 and we stopped at a few parks.......Bryce Canyon, Zion, and the North Rim of Grand Canyon. We rode Hwy 12 in southern Utah and we did a little dirt riding on the way to and from Natural Bridges.  We were not the only vintage riders on the roadways.  As we were leaving Bryce Canyon a rider entered on what looked like a new first-year Suzuki Water Buffalo. Nearly everywhere we stopped someone would start up a conversation about the bikes.  I am working on writing up the adventure for a possible magazine article.  Still waiting for pics and video from Bill and his Blonde.

Its a pain to reduce the pic-bits to post but will try another time.
