You know whats funny? My profile pic on this board (and facebook) is me crashing my brains out on the Camel Humps, circa 2005, and when you used to be able to double them. I got crossed up on the take off, cased the landing and high sided. Pierre Catilier (or however you spell it) got the shot and it...

Yea pretty cool. This was the old track before they moved to the Legion. Read the article, the author talked about how they were moving to the legion for 1973. Pretty darn cool.

had a brand new 2025 model. Used it once. It sat for about 7 months and the battery went bad and had to be replaced. Stark covered it, but it took a few weeks.

Did he retire or was he "kicked out" by Bud Feldcamp? I know Frank is very respected within the community, but I recall hearing that he was basically kicked out and that Glen Helen was "taking over" his Saturday series?
The one thing Jordan learned when he had his road racing team from 2005 to 2015 (or whenver it was) was that the factories do not like to get beat. There was no way Suzuki or Yosh was going to give him equipment that would let him beat them. Same thing when Pro Circuit was doing motors for Factory Connection...

The bike was designed and built by a company in National City, CA by Norring Mfg. Norring was a partnership of Rob North a very famous British frame designer from the UK who engineered the...
