Amazing how Chesterfield's bikes were rolling billboards. Much like today's bikes.

This one is interesting because some countries would not allow the cigarette sponsorship so the Chesterfield bikes would have no graphics at those rounds.

Gone way too soon.

Dude's mullet was good enough to play in the NHL, and was the standard to which I aspired in the 80's.

Where are the shots from the Snowpercross track?

Best pic thread so far. Schmit was awesome. Those '86 KX 125's were slow as hell until you DMC'd them up.
