A great big Brembo on this Ural - it takes a lot to slow this behemoth with sidecar down. And I love the look of the old-school leading link forks.
This Ural with sidecar came prepared for the Easter Morning Ride. Boxes and boxes of doughnuts to provide fuel for those hiking to the top to catch the sunrise.
The Black Bomber (Honda CB 450) and rider preparing to head out after having watched the sunrise on Easter morning. Time for a spirited ride up the coast.
A pair of twins! Two BMW R60's. I believe the one on the right is a /2; but both might be.
Cutting edge brake technology from the last century: dual leading edge ventilated drum brakes. Still tended to fade rather quickly, but good enough to lock up the tires of the day. This is on a BSA.
A close-up of Sergio's BSA showing the primary drive belt. The bike was just put back together the prior night, and this was its maiden voyage. Quite the test run.
5 Ducatis all lined up at the Mt Tam parking lot. Having watched the sunrise on Easter morning, its time to get out and ride again.
A beautiful classic styled bike bearing an old marquee name - the Royal Enfield. Looks like a joy to ride.
A beautiful sunrise over the SF Bay fog. Mt Diablo to the right and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge below. Another great Easter Morning Ride.
Poll pontificating on the trials and tribulations of riding the TransAmerica Trail on a hard tail. Fun stories for a beautiful morning on Mt. Tam after the Easter Morning Ride.
The sun is just breaking the horizon over Poll's shoulder - what we were all waiting for after the Easter Morning Ride 2018. An unusually nice year - it wasn't raining, the fog wasn't too bad, and it was warm.
Brandon waiting on the sunrise from Mt. Tam after the Easter Morning Ride.
Waiting on the sunrise at the Mt Tam fire lookout.
