The Good Friday Ride
After the Chili Bar rest stop, the Georgetown big feed stop, and the Folsom Dam view stop, there are those who wish to take off in their own direction for what ever reason, maybe time
constraints or want a more continuous non stop ride. The dam stop is the last stop and those who wish to converge on Steve's house are welcome. Of course you will have to follow him back to fined it, especially if your new to the ride. The first thing you will notice after parking your bike and walking up to the garage, is, there are a few bikes in it and looks like a working shop. Well, it is. The one on the stand is a classic mid. 60's Honda red and grey CB-160 vertical inclined twin , which was very popular in the day. Also in those days there was a Yamaha 100 two-stroke inclined twin that really screamed (10,000 rpm). I knew a friend named James Childress who's father owned a Yamaha shop in Rancho Cordova that let him put together new bikes, did maintenance on customers bikes. He also got to race on local tracks of the time such as New Helvesia in North Sacramento and down south at the famous Lodi Cycle bowl which still to this day has local dirt track races and has produced such famous championship racers like Chris Carr. Anyway, the two bikes on the right are a Yamaha 250 early dual
purpose machine and an Schwinn, early moped style paper boy bike with a one cylinder engine mounted on the frame with a belt drive. The name is a ______________.
