Trip Back in Time...



This 7 minute film is from a different era entirely...like 104 years ago... ! It has nothing to do with motorcycles but is so cool I had to share it anyways.

This film was taken from the front end of an electric streetcar on San Francisco's Market St., supposedly in 1906 before the earthquake. No traffic rules, no paved roads, no traffic lights or pedestrian crosswalks. So sit back and enjoy the ride on this streetcar for a look back in time! This is very cool..... !

Thought it was pretty interesting to see how many people that were jumping back and forth in front of the street-cars and autos.

I suppose several didn't make it once in a while!!!! ;)

That was a neat video, Im amazed at how built up and busy it was for 1906. They didn't travel very fast though, the guy on the bycycle passed the streetcar. I wonder what those people in the video would think if they saw that same street today.
