Some of the MT regulars may have seen some of these pics before but I thought they really belong inhere.
These are some pics of my old man racing in the early 60's. He was old school, and one of the first guys to race in the Netherlands. He raced from 1959 to 1976. I was 6 years old when he stopped racing and went on with trail riding. He learned me how to ride bikes, took me with him to many, many GP's and Dutch nationals. I have so many good memories of those days. My dad died 6 years ago, I still have some of his riding stuff. Unfortunately I don't have one of his racing bikes. He sold them when he quit racing. He raced on CZ, Triumph, BSA Goldstar.
Anyway, here are some pics. My dad is # 37.

Did your dad ride the GP's?
The Shop
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
They took a whole different style. He'd have to remember to "never" land on the front wheel.
If it can be raced RC can win on it. So would JS and all the others. Bell and Stanton would have been world champs on those bikes.
Hey man nice shots.
Your dad is the coolest dad ever !
Larry, he never raced GP's.
Thanks for sharing.
