Love it! Started going in the early 80s, been to the last 42. Foggy memories but rolled into town in 82 and stayed in a field with port-a-johns which was called the "Police Overflow". Things were different back then, loose and wide open. All kinds and styles of bikes and people. Now it's cookie-cutter. Still gotta go. Still love bikes. God I miss those days!
Vantastick to see this time machine .
The good ole days.

Why the music?
There is no audio track as the original film did not have an audio track, placing music is what Successful UA-cam content creators generally do when there is No Audio! his keeps people from feeling that there is something wrong because they don't hear anything.
Kind of blurry.Almost not worth it.
Gee sorry you feel this way, just a note to your young self(I assume your young and yes I know what it means to assume) These were taken on movie cameras, video cameras not with cell phones so the quality was not what we have today. These gems are getting lost as the years go by since the film they were taken on disintegrate so any that can still be found are Gems. Embrace History my fellow human and take a chill pill
So, do you suggest that I stop processing and placing this content because you think it is too blurry! This is as good as it is going to get. I know it is not perfect, but it is recovered never before published video from 55 years ago. I am trying to save it from being lost forever. The process used was done by Harmons Photo processing, the best photo / Video production company in all of Southwest Florida. It is all that could be saved off of these reels. BTW, did I mention they survived the Flood Caused by Hurricane Ian. I think we are lucky to get whatever we can get from 50 years ago. So, to me it is worth it. I am sorry you did not think it worth it.
