On Any Sunday

Tonight my wife, Krystal, and I watched Bruce Brown's 1971 film On Any Sunday. I had seen parts of it years back but never the whole thing. Since we are on a month trial of Blockbuster's online service, I figured "what've we got to lose?" I really enjoyed it. Motorcycling memorabilia from the 70s has always held a special place in my heart because that's when my dad grew up riding them on Catalina. I grew up hearing stories, envying him for his pioneer experiences and wishing I could have lived about 30 years earlier. In fact, there was at one time a "Catalina Grand Prix" where racers from all over would come a race a cross country course throughout the island. I think I remember seeing an old reel-to-reel of it when I was a kid, but it's one of those memories that I can't be sure it wasn't just my imagination or a dream. Man I can't wait to get another motorcycle.
