At the risk of sounding pedantic, I have to point out that the bike labeled as a Honda CB160 at 0:33 is actually a CB77 305 Super Hawk.
I had a CB160 in high school and lusted after the Super Hawk which I never got, and haven’t been happy since.
Great meet, lots of cool bikes!
I grew up and lived with those bikes and sounds, Yamaha Big Bears, Honda 350 twins and Kawasaki triples
i just got a 1964 yamaha yjq i think and i was wondering if you knew anything about it?
I just restored my 1973 Honda SL125 K2 dual-sport bike. Is there a club like this local to Southern CA?
Love those Dream bikes, how retro!
Yes, thank you for the memories. I had three bikes back in the 70’s. A 125 Yamaha, 360 Honda and 450 Honda, I’m 63 now and don’t have the balance anymore…old age sucks. But thanks again for sharing with us.
Thanks Brother! Please do it again.
Wow! These babies sure do take me back. Nice collection of bikes.
Thank you very much for these images and sounds especially that we will hear less and less.
One biker in French Guyana.
Nice gathering of bikes. I drool over these early japanese bikes when i read my monthly magazine
C.m.m.
I own an honda bb 250 rsa[81] and a Gsxr1100h[87].
It was the 70’s and 80’s bikes that catch my eye every time.
Ride safe .
Bunch of geezers except for the talking head, he is cute!
Hey it was a hoot and when we rolled through a couple of small towns (and I mean small because there were more dogs than people!) everyone stopped to check it out. James
Looks like so much fun. I’ll bet the sight and sound of so many old bikes was turning heads!
