I’m told that if you venture into the Livermore City Hall, that somewhere within the halls is a picture of 1,000 motorcycles taken on one of the city streets. Yawn! But if I told you the picture was taken on Sep  24, 1911, then would you be impressed? (Did they even have cameras in 1911?

Fast forward to 2011 – A local motorcycle dealer wants to recreate the event – He gets local permission to block the street  and sends out invites. If I understand properly, 299 other nutcases descended upon Livermore this Sunday. It probably took 30 minutes to get all the bikes lined up properly, then another 30 minutes waiting for the morning sun to be in the right place, and a final 30 minutes to take the multiple pictures than will then be stitched together, and … be hung in the Livermore City Hall.

Fast forward to 1:10 on the YouTube movie. That’s me in the blue suit on the BMW R1200RT.
