Bonneville Vintage GP

It was either ride to the Fort Bridger Rendezvous, or head to the Larry Miller Motorsports Park and check out some old bikes tearing ass around the track. I chose bikes of course. My neighbor showed up on his HD Rokr-C mid morning for the 113 mile ride to the Motorpark. I fired up my bobber "Lil' Sandy" and we hit the road. It was a clear day in the mid 60s, with a pretty strong headwind as we ventured West.

Things got a little hairy once we hit Park City, Utah drivers are notoriously bad, and we were required to fight our way through clear to just outside Salt Lake City. It was pretty rough riding from there on out due to my bike's hardtail frame. Still had a smile on my face, though. We got to the Motorpark around noon, and we were ushered into the park with our bikes. We wandered around the open garage areas scoping out the vintage, and some newer race bikes. We saw Hondas, Kawasaki, a Yamaha or two, but mainly Brit bikes. Triumph, Vincent, and a couple BSAs were represented in various forms of dress. It was impressive seeing these aged bikes all in running, well, racing condition.

We then cut through one of the pit garages, across pit row, to the safety wall adjacent to the starting line. We had a great view of the bikes as they were mashalled to their places ready for the race.
