A picture of a bike restoration done by YZ Works in Maryland, built for George Quay. The bike is a replica of a Keystone Motor Works racer. See http://yzworks.tripod.com/id109.htm for more.

Didn't Mickey Kessler race a Keystone bike at some Nationals back in the late 70's or early 80's?

I wish I still had that bike and I'm sorry to hear someone stole it. I just raced a friends 1981 CR250 in the Ultima 250 Expert Class at The Gatorback Vintage National on Sunday and it was a blast.

Hey Ray! Yea it got swiped while I was in good ol Fairfax Hospital getting my knee worked on. Your bike was an absolute rocket, it didn't sound like any other YZ that I knew of. It freaking barked. I think Don Dailey bought if from you then I bought it from him. I only had it a few months, believe me I was bumming. Good to see and hear you're still the same Rocket Ray! I can remember you killing it in the A class, 125's, 250's and the 500's. I learned alot watching you ride.

I think Keystone worked with Team PDQ in1980 with white YZ's Jimmy Ellis and Arlo Englund were the riders.

Thank you and yes, that bike was a rocket.
