I had a cop call me once to ask me if The 1982 yz 100 kids were riding around in a dry retention pond was mine.

Yes-PDQ team was runned by Pro-Action founder George Guay. I actually found a former PDQ bike about 4 years ago. It was confirmed by George, found it on craigslist.
I remember Pat Moroney tearing up Englishtown on a white PDQ 1980 YZ125 . He was a wild man on that thing

Most of my old pics were ruined with the high tide of Hurricane Sandy 2 years ago.
I found this old pic of Pat on a 465 at Unadilla .Im thinking 81 in the support class of the 250GP
It's the only time I've seen him on a Open bike. His style definitely was better suited to the 125

Other than Johnny O on his Mugen, Pat was one of the first guys to wear white gear

Thanks, it's a "works" in progress. This is the label that was on the box.

Love this story.

My '89 YZ125 is the bike I miss the most, as it was my first full-sized Dirtbike.
I'd love to have it back.

Great story, what's the odds on that!! Getting your old bike back now you can relive your youth!

Finally got to ride my old beast, picked a great event for my reunion ride. The bike ran great, sounds awesome, needs some stiffer springs and I have a small leak on the top seal in the stem (pretty sure I know why). Overall a great couple days racing!
