RM 100.jpeg?VersionId=MO8cd12x8.5H8O4KPd01980 back in England . I wasn’t quite 5ft and could only just touch floor on one side so if I wrecked I had to put it on side stand to start it then jump off,  flip stand up put it in gear and jump back on as it got going. Spent most races reminding myself “ don’t crash” instead of actually trying to go fast .

Of course! I won $100 that night for winning the contest. I went 1-1/2 laps around the 1/2 mile oval. Easy money! I'm from Niles, Michigan...

And an electric motor on his front wheel to keep it spinning.  He was awesome  and a super nice guy.

IMG 1981 0Great thread! 

Did some digging and this is the earliest moto (first submission was just of me on my first bike) picture I have from 2003 on a 2003 KX125 in Stillwater, OK. 
 

This jump was cool for me to hit as it was one of my first “big” jumps and I was new to big bikes. Not too long after my 14th birthday.

Brighton Michigan 1989Iron Mustangs MC Brighton, MI 1989.  After coming across in front of the starting gate, you had a step-up jump that took you to the top of the old quarry.  One of my favorite tracks!  

One of my favorite tracks as well and I miss it! And that was a fun jump being able to cross it up right in front of the clubhouse on spectator hill. I was in the Wednesday Nite club there and have so many moto memories! Great pic!

It's not about the content, it's about me.    There are people who downvote everything I post.    It's funny really....that I have somehow managed to have that much effect on their psyche.  Grinning

I had the zebra print on my '88. It was gray with green stripes I think. The stock cover didn't last.

LOL thanks MxA, I didn't feel like a badass on the Trail 70 at the time, but I surely wish I still had it! I do have the tank to dad's Penton since he parted the thing out and kept the tank. We also still have his '77 Penton 400 MC5 hanging on my nephew's shop wall. His mom is to my left... she's a Harley lady now-a-days but at least still on 2 wheels. We're at 4 generations of riders now... and yes those were great days!

CMC Friday nights at ASCOT, circa '88 on my Z50, with my Pops '87 CR500 in the foreground of the second photo. Sure do miss that place!! Nothing like the smell of pre-mix race gas and fresh donuts being baked below the grandstands!

First turn at Red Bud, 1981.That's me (#19) sandwiched between Mark Hinkle (#1N) and I believe Troy Bradshaw (#1). If I recall I beat Bradshaw that day but I was never able to beat Mark...Dry
