Nate – thanks for sharing this. Where was this held? I visit Socal about once a month, and like to
plan my visits for car stuff usually and family.
I had a thing for Spainish bikes – Ossa, and especially Montesa. Tha latter I raced in Socal when there
were tracks in OC!!
Are you going to the LA Roadsters? Always a good time at the swap meet.

It was nice ,I got there a bit early and looked at the many beautiful old British Motos , BSA's , Nortons , matchless , Royal Enfield ("Built like a gun ") and of course , lots of Triumphs , plus a smattering of Japanese and European Motos , I even saw one Aprilla (wow) , a BMW twin and some old fool on a Ural Solo , oops wait , that was _me_ 
.
I was hoping to see some V.J.L.A.'ers and L.A. Cretins but didn't . as I left at 10AM on the dot I may have just been to early .
The weather was perfect , about 75° F with very mild breezes , a few fluffy clouds far above , not much traffic in the mountains so on and so forth .
The Ural was running sweetly , I've been running it on Union 76 ' Racing Gasoline ' 98 octane , non leaded , not legal for street vehicles in California , best of all it's translucent BLUE un like the normal California MTBE ' motor fuel ' crap that's _YELLOW_ and about as good as the urine it resembles for making Gasoline engines run .
Yesterday I replaced all the old cracked 7MM fuel hoses and the two clear plastic micronic fuel filters , there was no dirt in the old filters but they were no longer bright yellow in the filter medium so out they went .
This is the first ride I've taken since January of this year when I did a major service of all lubricants , filters , valve adjustment and so on for the Norton Club's annual New Year's Eve Morning ride .
I have been worried I might have to give up riding because of diminishing musculature and increasing upper body pains , on the ride out to the meeting point I was considering skipping the ride completely but in the end I rode part of it then came home and took a nap , felt *much* better (! and happier too ! 
) so after an hour's nap I got up and worked a few more hours before packing it in for the day .
I hope to begin riding it to work again this coming week .
'Tis the season to RIDE ! 
.
Maybe not all day rides like I did 45 years ago but any day in the saddle is a good one .
-Nate
