Joe Gresh Wants To Hang Out: Santa Fe Vintage Motorcycle Hang Out
Come hang out.
Begin Joe’s ramblings:Â
Long ago I wrote a story about traveling across the USA on an old, 1971 360cc Yamaha Enduro motorcycle. It was called Toxic Tour with the subtitle, The First Annual Blue Haze Across America Tour. I had grand plans of organizing a two-stroke only cross country motorcycle ride like the Three Flags Tour put on by the Southern California Motorcycle Association. Editor Brian Catterson?s warning to never call anything ?the first annual? until a second one happened proved prescient. The Second Annual Blue Haze Across America Tour never happened.
The main reason it never happened is because I have no idea how to organize and plan such a massive undertaking. I guess I thought the event would just magically take place because I uttered the words out loud. Motorcycle events require many selfless people working behind the scenes to make the idle talk happen. I still like the idea of an all two-stroke pan-USA motorcycle tour but someone else will have to make it a reality. Robert Pandya comes to mind as someone who could pull it off. R.I.P.
Which brings us to the (hopefully temporary) defunct Motorado Motorcycle show. The Motorado was a great, classic motorcycle show held each year in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Motorado died out around Covid time and try as I might, I can?t find any information online about a 2022 show. Motorado?s Facebook page responded to my query with ? Unfortunately no show this year, lack of interest.? Adding these bits...
