The Yarrows also were big into hill climbing an the late 60's. If I'm not mistaken Allen held blue Plate #3. When I started Supermoto, guess who I ran into? The Yarrows. seems we followed a similiar path.

That would s classic. Blow up pool and flamingos
Yes! It took awhile to fill it with water, though. No convenient source close by. But it was worth it.

One of the first club outings @ Knoxville, Solano Trail Riders Assn.
A short regroup @ Turtle Rock.
Early trailhead just off Knoxville rd.
Camp down by the creek, this looks like another day,
All of this was before the gold mine got bigger and trails/roads/closed areas, have changed since.

This thread has been moved from moto-photos to our new vintage forum. If you have old pictures or copies of articles, advertisements, what-have-you, post them here.
I've got a fairly extensive collection of old magazines, which I'd like to eventually scan. That's a project that I may never have the time or energy to complete, but I have scanned some interesting stuff more or less randomly.
I've created this thread to share it in. Anyone else who wishes to post scans from thier own collections may post them here as well.
I'd like to limit posted material to really old stuff, partially because of the historical interest, but also because under the "Fair Use" rules for using copyrighted materials, it's acceptible if there's no effect on the works value, which is the case with 40-50 + year old publications.
I'd like to start out with this article from the English magazine Motorcycling from 1938. A road test of the Brough Superior SS100.

I haven't seen this trailer, more footage of Needles, Bullhead, and Flag.
I found this spot by accident, really surprised where it was, down the dead end street from the HD dealer.

October 3, 1926 Sacramento Union newspaper. My grandfather, John Ruskin Keith, after a gas mileage run as part of a national PR campaign by Harley-Davidson oriented to newspaper editors. We called him Ruskin. He worked for the newspaper at the time. He was not a small man - maybe they should have found a jockey!
Also on that page was an ad by the sponsoring Harley dealer in Sacramento.
There was another motorcycle connection in my family. At that time my mom was 1.5 years old and her brother Kenneth Ruskin Keith was born within a year. Ruskin had been a sailor during World War 1 on a submarine. He transferred off and on the next voyage, the sub was sunk. Lucky. During World War Two, Ruskin commanded Victory cargo ships. We don't know how that transition occurred, he must have graduated from the Merchant Marine Academy in New York. Uncle Ken had graduated from the Academy and was at sea as a Third Mate (Third Officer). He made several voyages on different Victorys. Ruskin knew his son was on a ship but not which one. So any time another cargo ship was in signal lamp range, he would have his signalman send, "Is Kenneth Keith aboard?" Off of Okinawa in 1945 he got a reply, "Yes." He had Ken transferred aboard his ship so they could serve together. It was not normal to put family together on Navy or Merchant Marine ships. They got to witness many Japanese planes attacking the ships including Kamikaze attacks.
I bring this up because Ken got into motorcycling after the war. He was known to stand on the seat of his Harley riding down busy Watt Avenue in Sacramento. We don't have a record of what his father and mother thought of that. My mom knew what her brother was doing. I think Ruskin experienced fear in a WW1 submarine, and both did in WW2 battles, so getting into the relatively dangerous motorcycling was no big deal to them.
In the 1960s when I was 16 I wanted a motorcycle, and my younger brother Jim wanted a minibike. I had a good job at Petrini's Market in Greenbrae (Marin Co.) so I could afford one. My parents resisted because of course all motorcyclists were hooligan bikers. But we learned about the rider training class offered by the Marin County Motorcycle Association at their off road riding area now known as China Camp State Park. We enrolled and learned how to ride on a 1960-ish Harley Scat 165cc. Our parents realized family type trail riding was an OK thing. So I bought a new Kawasaki 120 from Marin Motorsports (original location, west San Rafael). Jim got a lawn mower powered minibike and he would take it out at night with friend Mark Slate (later to own Wilderness Trailbikes) and they would terrorize Greenbrae and Kentfield on mini bikes. Then he bought that Scat. This started a lot of street, trail riding, MX for me and flat tracking for both of us. During the early 70s, mom bought a Honda Trail 90 and was putting around the Ross Valley. Then Jim did Speedway for a while, then Box Stock AFM road racing and then AHRMA road racing. Now I have a 1941 Indian 640 Scout and go slow.
The point here is often the apples don't fall far from the tree.

very cool ... think this is a pic of the model your grandfather did the 126 mpg test on:
my great uncle Spencer ran away to sea and was a merchant marine during WWII ... retired as a captain.
