I believe they were the first company you could order a professionally done, custom lettering job on the back of your pants?

Mine was "LATER"

Those were really good days. That gear was, and still is the coolest.

"FASTBONE"

The year was 1990 and I was a 9 year-old boy SOLID HOT PINK MSRacing pants with white lettering and a white matching jersey with pink and black accents. I had been to a race in Oklahoma City at an amazing facility named "Strictly Dirt" to contest in the 65cc Open class. Anyhow, a big purse one weekend attracted the likes of Grayson Goodman himself. I followed his every move throughout the day and that's when I saw the back of his pants said, in big bold white letters, "FASTBONE". I knew right then and there what I was gonna have put on the back of my pants. I hadn't then, nor do I have now, a complete understanding of what it ever meant but I loved it just the same.

Mine was, "Don't Look Back".

A common theme I've picked up on at this site is how people love to live in the past. As many of you know, I'm not a big fan of yesterday. I love listening to Elvis and Mystery Train and all those old albums but it gets really repetitive and irritating how this demographic prefers to dwell on the past.

What he said.




PS: My butt patch said "Kardy", sort of a knock-off of "Wardy", who's photos held the greatest amount of real estate on my bedroom walls. I switched to Sinisalo when I moved to 125's...

Back around '83 or so, mine said "THRILLER". About six months before David Bailey had the same thing.

I had the Hallman Viking pants (Black and red) with PSYCHED OUT on the butt. (I have no clue why?!)
Also, I had DUST' EM on a pair of Blue Sinisalo pants after that.
Both were probably around 1988-89

Anyone know the story behind Lechien having " Van Nuys" on the back of his for a while back in the day ??
I'm presuming he must have partied REALLY hard there or something and was giving props up to the place :-)

Honda had a test track out that way in the 80's, plus he had lots of friends in that area.
