Anyone have that old school McGrath no fear poster. It's a under shot of him jumping on a Honda and it says "find the limits and push em" or something like that. One of my friends had it. Always loved that poster. It's Mid 90's

Damn lostboy, are those all yours? You must have worked at a honda dealer back in the day! Those thinks are hard to get. One of my prized possessions is a large Ricky Graham poster that I managed to talk my local dealer out of in 1983 or 84. He's riding the RS750 dirt tracker with the number 1 plate.

I had that one too, I still might have it. I also have the Bubba Shobert and Freddie Spencer posters. Honda would send one to every dealer when ever they won a championship. I still have unopened posters tucked away that I dont even know whats on them just a Honda part code. I still have the silver tube frames that Honda made you buy to display the posters.I still have a bunch of the VHS tapes Honda sent out

I was getting $90-$120 for the ripped ones in the photos and I sold all of thoses with no problem and the buyers knew about the condition and didnt care, I think one guy in Canada bought 4 or 5 of them as was happy as could be.

Morey is one of the greats from back in the day.

Picked a clean copy of this one up a couple years ago, 25" by something I think. One I expect to hold on to.

Going through stuff and realize I have way more posters rolled up in tubes than walls, and probably will be spinning some of them off. Mostly generic stuff, some one-offs of my own shots liked and had blown up.

There's been a few iconic, high value posters over the years like the long Oakley Carmichael whip poster, the old MXA Hannah off the pegs at Unadilla one, Fox's one of MC with RC whipped next to him. I know wall posters are less popular today than in the past, but are there any you consider must have classics?
Must have this on on your wall......?

Chuck Tannelund was Richter's mechanic and one of the developers at the Fox Team.

Wish I had sent my $3.95 in for the poster version of this. I'd put it in the iconic poster category.

Jeff, I'll file this away for the next couple weeks. I for sure have a bunch of the Oakley Carmichael series (not the B&W RC 70 whip alas) and I'll be spinning those off for sure.

Fox's first Bubba Scrub poster, Chris Tedesco's shot at Budds I think, has got to be up there. Nice big 37 by 20 something classic.

Thanks Micheal!

Small world indeed! The brake shop where I worked in Hollywood had Miss NGK on the BR door too. When I was parts manager at Sherman Oaks Honda (Once Bud Ekins Honda) I picked up those '85-'86 series posters from Bob at No. Hollywood.. They've been framed ever since. Pristine condition. Bailey, O'Mara and RJ. RJ graced my living room for 20m YEARS! Goose came over one day and was more interested in the guys standing next to their bikes in the background. Classic. OH, Anyone remember Sport Time Yamaha? (Reseda & Ventura) I have the tuning forks sign from that ill fated shop hanging in the garage. Never won a trophy but some of these I wouldn't give up for anything.

The top guns of motocross armed forces salute shown a few posts back is an all time favorite. The Fox 30th aniversy history posters are badass, sorry no pic. Somehere I also have a 8 foot yamaha 50th anniversy banner with speedy reedy and the rest of yamaha's iconic racers. One day I will have a garage with enough space to display it.

I have the Bubba scrub in a tube, brand new. I will have to go thru my collection. $90 to $120 each, I'd be inclined to sell..Smile

New to this site, and thought I would share about 15 if my old MX posters for you guys. This pic of Donnie Hansen is one of my top 6 all time rarest posters. This is of ALL the Honda dealer posters the one I have been offered a cool grand for!. There is something about this poster that makes it that way,....Can anyone guess what it is? (will post all my posters over the next few weeks)

Donnie Hanson on the 1982 works bike with #1. Pretty sure he never got to race with his #1 plate. Is that the rare point ?

I am biased to this one, because I am in the background.

YES!....You're right. Since he never got to be photographed, let alone race the next year with the #1 plate, Honda airbrushed out the entire white background, added the #1(Helmet also), and printed it. Good job on that!....

OK that is cool, I have that poster still along with many other Honda and Yamaha dealer posters so when I sell that one I will hold out for big $$$

The same guy who wanted the poster bought Marty Smith's #12 Team Honda helmet from him a few yrs back. He has to be the biggest collector of everything HONDA and has no problem paying out of site $$ to get what he wants!

I've got some stuff I'd like to move as well. Wheres the best place to sell, ebay?

I've got the BubbaScrub. I know I am a big Bubba basher, so that ones a deep dark family secret. But hey, it's a cool poster.

Those 82 Honda posters are too cool. I got a bunch of early 80s Honda stickers, but no posters.
