Dixon Motorcycle Swap this weekend, Friday -> Saturday June 14 and 15. Looks like they're featuring Japanese bikes! Who's going?Here's a link to the PDF: http://www.amcafortsutter.org/2013-SWAP%20MEET%20MAILER.pdf
"My interest extends to all era machinery that were engineered, designed and manufactured with the user and technician in mind. They were destined with style and totally unique from each other. Everything else since has been borrowed from the past. I'd rather ride the original.
How did I find it? My dad bought the guzzi in the early 90's. Supposedly it was an unregistered farm bike with off road tires. Who would 'a' thunk!"
In June, the best cure for the heat is cold drinks, and friends to share a good story with. Let's meet up this Thursday and do just that! When/Where: the 6th over at Giovanni's on Folsom blvd. in Sacramento
I don't know how I found this unique page on Kārlis Ploks - 1930's Stunt master, but this photo is incredible. Born in Sinole, Vidzeme (Latvia) in 1895, he grew up poor, served in WW1 and ended up working in a gypsum factory in Riga, Latvia. After some work in Odessa, Russia, Karl moved back to Riga and took to doing what he loved - being a motorcycle stunt king. Cheers Karl, you're remembered.
Please visit the Latvian Footprints website for more about Kārlis Ploks.
What a badass...
Fish n' chips, tasty drinks and tons of oil, good friends and new ones to boot. Cheers!

If you're not racing this weekend, stop on by Moto Meeto over at Fox and Goose this Thursday night, so we can see who's at least going to the Quail lodge Gathering! See you there!
Is sharing good times, know how, the occasional wrench and a good laugh. Our biggest goal is to ride a bike and be happy, help a fellow rider out, and that's about it!
