The photo at 32:23 was pretty sad. Nothing lasts forever.

Great film footage! I'd guess most of this was taken with 8mm film cameras of the day. Those things were strictly mechanical and pretty bulky. Not the easiest things to handle on a bike, even for a passenger. (No auto-stabilization back then! 😆) But because these riders took the time and effort, we can watch them today. Marvelous.

Thanks so much You should be very proud of yourself. Great job on the commentary and the music !!!. I was born in 1956 the year of Elvis and the Interstate hyw syst. In SoCal. I was surprised there were not more Indians also did not think that I would see so many BMWs and One Yamaha. Hard to believe that Harley went 10sec in the 1/4 thats fast. I like the line that you used." The more you know the faster you go" It was also cool to see the 841 Indian. Nice job thanks so much.

This is so cool my dad n mom rode about the same time in Illinois n mo on Harleys n bsa dad was a contender. At drags marathons n endures dad died in 2000 mom 2004

This was better than watching the Browns attempt to play football.

I just can't figure out where this first part is. There are flowers etc but it might not even be in Oregon. The wikipedia article on Jantzen Beach is really good and glad that they saved the carousel. My mom told me that she rode that crazy roller coaster many times back in the day.

That is Peterson's Rock Garden around Redmond area. I remember going there a few times. There were quite a few peacocks that roamed the grounds there and you would hope to see one of them spread its tail to see that huge fan. Too bad it had to close. The Wikipedia article on it is quite interesting and worth reading.

It is Jantzen Beach Amusement Park because of that huge roller coaster that was made out of wood. It was a famous one for a long time.

Nobody in my family were truck drivers or ever had a motorcycle. I was and had both. Still riding my motorcycle at 72.

The best films . Thanks

Great finished product Jamie, proud to have been in your dad's garage more than once back in the day. You should also consider a possible side gig as a radio DJ.

great old footage

I just shared this a couple days ago…your comments touch my heart, like I said, I’m proud to be part of the biker family. Please keep sharing your stories.

No yuppies back then real men and women

I’m not a computer person. My grandson just showed me your movie. I’m in my 70s now and your movies made my heart sink. One spot was when you said somebody wanted to buy your dad’s drag bike for the frame. It shows you the progression of thought. The other was The crawler in front of your dad’s demolished building … just made my heart sink… I still have my 55 pan that I built from scratch in 1970… Bad back too many broken Old bones to start it, but I still have it… your dad and I would have gotten along fine… I might have even bought parts off him… just can’t recall… I hope that same feeling is in you. I

Super cool film. Thank you. I bought my first Harley in 1971 and still have it and a few more including Ol John Martinolichs hill climbers.

This is great Jamie. My parents were bikers too as they are in this great video that you have put together. Glad you made connections with Denny and I on putting some of this together. Thanks again. My dad's bike belongs to his son now and is a cherished part of history for him.

Nice job Jamie! I told your Dad I wanted to buy the Drag Bike, hey laughed and said Bobby you would not know what to do with that thing! Your parents were Awesome!

Woowww! I miss these days!

Do you have anymore videos of my grandfather?

Nice mix. Tight!

Nice! We both miss the golden 80s. Check us out too... Thanks. Cheers!

you should have panned left at the funeral home... you missed Dick's man!

Thanks for sharing. I would have been 3 years old, and living right by Sicks’ Stadium and the Macdonald's on Rainier Ave. You guys probably drove passed my old house. There use to be a Remo Borrachinnis backery in that area, that we would go to, to get donuts.

I like it !

Wow. That might be where I actually saw "Terms of Endearment" the first time.

Ahhhhhhh.... Bob Dylan ! 😍😍

Ah, this just showed up on my feed. This is incredibly unnerving to watch for me. Good!

Seattle population has never been over 800,000. He must have meant king county.

Fantastic!!

Back when you could rent a studio apartment on Queen Anne for $150/month.

Before Seattle died

Thank you, thank you, thank you Jamie!! 🙏🏻❤️

Nice song ! :)

Thanks Jamie !

"Terms of Endearment" was released on November 23, 1983, so this is definitely late 1983.

Was cool to actually get a quick glance at Ernie Steele's restaurant and Keeg's furniture.

I'm in the same age bracket as these guys; I'm viewing this through my own experience with those roads, and I know exactly where they're driving! Amazing archival video!

This is fun!

This is wild. When this was filmed, I was living in Seattle - came in 1976 and left in 1985 (the good old days of Seattle - and for me...). At this time I lived on 16th E and I drove a bookmobile for the Seattle Public Library Mobile branch, located off of Broadway behind Fred Meyers. I covered the entire city every month and probably took the route you do here many times. Someone commented on Ernie Steele's - my cronies from the library and I would go there for lunch on occasion for a soul burger - one of the best burgers I ever had. In fact, Broadway had some places to go for lunch that have never been surpassed to me for what they provided - the best omelet (Bernie's Best) at Bernie's Tavern, and the best nachos at La Cocina as well as the best hot and sour soup at a Chinese restaurant both on the row of stores across from Fred Meyer's. A special place that I still visit when I return to visit friends. Most of the restaurants are gone although I'm amazed that La Cocina still seems to be there! So sad what Seattle has become...
