In the early 1900s when cars and motorcycles were exciting new ways to travel, motorcycle riders would start somewhere at the Mexican border and ride all the way to Canada, just to see if it could be done. These rides were referred to as border to border runs. In 1974, after reading about the border to border runs in a 1914 newspaper that was published by the American Motrcyclist Association, Josef Joe Usatin of the Southern California Motorcycle Association SCMA thought it would be a great idea to rekindle the old spirit of border to border runs. Joe decided to name this new ride; The Three Flags Classic. The ride was to start in Mexico near the US border and end up somewhere in Canada. Labor Day weekend was selected for the annual date of this long distance motorcycle event.
