Its was at the Motorama in Harrisburg, Pa. Not sure what those bikes are, maybe Itala Jets. This was before KTM minis and cobras.

This was 1991. I think the mullet was well on the way out at that point. Mike here was really holding on to that bad boy! haha. Roll offs on Sunny day as well! Great pic! That is funny stuff.

I had that same 1991 CR125. I HATED That bike. I am sure my lack of skills attributed to some of it, but you could be in first gear and sneeze and that bike would get death headshake.

OC I see you had to endure trying to moto on a twin shock POS. Wish I still had the pictures of me trying to race my SL70 in Marysville, it was awful. They got ruined in the flood of 87 I think. Crazy we grew up within 50 miles of each other, wish I would have known you back then.
Where did you grow up? i was a Bay Area guy (San Jose) born and raised!

Slippy, check out Nealer (Chris Neal) and I at Santa Clara PAL in 1979. He ate shit during the week on his bicycle and slid his face down the sidewalk Blink



btw: take a close look at his bike in the background, notice the pipe and the trick alumi swingarm (i think R&D or CRF) That thing was a rocket! He was hurt one weekend and i got to race it at Huron, holy hell!!

I am sure I have some totally unintentional goon photos laying around, (maybe some of my gooning out in my BMX days) I will try to dig up. Funny post though!!
Laughing

Glad you got a kick out of it. Every time I look at it, I just smile and shake my head. The funniest thing is that at the time, I thought I was the shit.

This is i think 1977 again at PAL on my RM50, check out the awesome starting technique lol We need to get Gary Semics in here to critique our pics Cool



I ran those goofy bubble visors cuz Ricky Ryan always ran them on his open face Electro helmets. Could the strap on Carrera goggles be any thinner? Laughing

Oh and how about the leather gloves w/ those big rubber deals running down the finger, im sure everyone had at pair at one time or another.

Some 1978 goon riding in my favorite corduroy pants on my first mx bike. Any guesses on the track that held some CMC golden state series races?

Yep, you and Scotty got it ...Madera Lake.

Another track in that area that was fun to go to was "Little Oakie" and their Saturday night races. There were nights that George Holland and Magoo would show up and do some real stylin.

Ha, didn't even see O/C's post. I raced the Golden State there in '85, but I think that was the last race they held there.

(Edit). Damn it! Meant to quote last post only.

Thats awesome! Guess my memory works pretty good even when my brain is "off" Dizzy

i remember in i think '81 or '82 it was freeezing cold! the puddles in places were frozen over and we couldnt get the forks to work on my bro's KX in the 1st practice sessions for shit! Scott Browns dad stood at a pretty big double w/ his arms crossed, and was really upset if he didnt hit it. Scott wore an all white one piece "rainsuit" that day. He use to show up around here and post once in awhile. His pop had a pretty bad case of "mini-dad'itis". Such a cool kid too.

Its so crazy how we can remember even the little things from this sport that we havent thought of in so many years.

btw: if i can get a hold of my older bro's photo albums there is some pure gold in them. Pretty sure my mom made an album for each goldern state series. He could of been really good, just didnt have the "head" for it, if ya know what i mean.

Swap the rear fender, side plates & shrouds for some solid yellow plastic and that bike rocks. Or just find a '89 or '90 model.

I loved little Oakie! I still have my big 6ft tall trophy from the summer series in '83, in fact it is right behind me, one of the only trophies i kept.

My mom used to sit up high in the stands right by the announcer (Tom Prichard, good friend of ours, and his son Timmy) and i could hear her yell as i came down the front straight through the speakers LOL
