About Me
Got my first mini-bike September 1970. Sold it for a Trail 70 Feb 71'. Scored an SL100 Jan.72'. Picked up a Montesa 125 Cappra Oct. 72'. I wanted to be Mike Runyard (#43, and everything!). Did my 1st race on that "piece" March, 1973. Bought a Monark 125 April 73'. Paid for it myself (13yo),by making and selling leather visors at local races for $4.00 a pop. You can see a guy wearing one in "rider's meeting" footage in "One Chance To Win". Plenty of other bikes while racing most every weekend from March 73' to December 80'. Went from 125 novice to 250 expert.
Didn't touch motorcycles for 27 years until riding a friend's Maico last December. I now own, and race, a 77' AW 440. I'm also the Vice-President of Texas Vintage Racing Club (TVRC). The club has operated consistently since 1988, and celebrated 20 years October, 2008.
