The 70s thread has taken off and no reason to have the people fortunate enough to be a decade or so younger not to have their own thread too.

Post 'em if you got 'em.

80's is still too old for me, haha. I'll have to wait for the 90's thread to post up my "sweet" chrome numbers, a pink pw50 and TLD fin on my helmet. All with a bowl-cut, if I might addTongue

Micheal, should let that 70's thread run its course, then do 80's. These have HOF potential.

1980 RM80 and some fresh JT Gear. This was taken in Africa. Kenya in 1980, which had a healthy MX program. Kenyans that had come from Europe and Brit kids were the competition. Me and my buddy were the only American racers.

Yes jemcee!

Reckon that front numberplate was probably robbing you of that extra 1.5mph though.
