Well not a place exactly but in the same vein.
My dad on his Triumph and 50 years later me on mine, didnt dare take mine to to the street where my dad had his taken though, after a quick drive by I decided not to bother
Now a big poster on my wall
Yes I know he had more hair than me before you all start

OK, I not minding some more...
The well attended Boulder Falls in Boulder Canyon with well attended to men sitting still for the cam...
The Falls were closed to stabilize the rocks and hillside behind me, so I looked left and right and snuck in for a pic with no one present...
Platoro was a flare and fade mining community in deep southern Colorado...
Today, it mostly sees residents in the summer. If you have a DS bike, while not observable in this pic, the South San Juan Wilderness abounds in all directions. Forest Road 250 winds through it all, and it is a truly magical place that will put you in a I-have-no-words-to-say trance...
Russell Gulch is another boom and bust town. During boom times over a thousand lived here...
Today during bust times it is hardly populated with people, but it is populated with old and empty and small miners cabins...
If you hopped off the train in St. Elmo in 1878, this is how you might have been greeted...
If you rode in today...
And after walking through town and looking back in 1880...
And doing the same today...

gray... You certainly have pics of a profound time. I just had to stare at them.
Ouray at the turn of the 20th century...
Pausing above Ouray today at a frequently paused at overlook on the Million Dollar Highway...
Creede back then...
BTW, the Silver Thread Scenic Byway (CO 149) passing by Creede is one of the pre-eminent riding roads in the country. 117 miles, no stoplights, two mountain passes, two historic mining towns, two river drainages, the headwaters of the Rio Grande, with entrancing riding the entire length...
As fires swept through wooden frontier towns, few were as fortunate as the Victor fire department with a dedicated truck and crew, in a brick building no less...
The two wheeled truck paying homage...
Nevertheless, little could be done when roaring flames consumed the wooden fuel elsewhere. The great Victor fire of 1899...
Those without a home to return to following the fire...
I'm actually on the train bed, and looking the same direction as the fire pic above, but difficult to tell...

For something different, especially the 1906 San Francisco streetcar video.

Great pix of Creede CO. Took 11 guys through there a couple of years ago on Bilco's 2010 US tour and the 149 is brilliant ride even though it was wet and with huge thunderstorms 
Aidan1150 will remember it as that is where his 1150 FD failed

Sounds like CO 149 was memorable in more ways than one! That would be one removed place to have a final drive go south. To kill a few minutes, a couple of CO 149 onboard ride vids are here... http://rmridervideo.com/?cat=151
A few more...
Here's the old Foxton Post Office 60 years ago...
I don't think the wires have moved since!...
A Lookout Mountain curve 1930...
Today from the parking lot at Buffalo Bill's grave site. This is a fun riding road...
The Nevadaville City Hall in 1933, decades after the mines closed down and the miners moved out...
I think it is better shape today...
