Just saw this thread, got a great story to tell. In '76 I was racing a '76 YZ250C, my best friend and race wrench Ronny would always take the bike to the line for me, where he'd pick out a good spot on the line, then after I got there he would build a little ramp of dirt over the...

Sorry, just saw this and wanted to reply. I'm not sure if he did or not to be honest, though it seems like he hung it up after that. I wasn't actually at the hospital, but I remember hearing that it got pretty ugly. His Dad wanted him evacuated, the hospital wouldn't even administer pain medication unless he was admitted...

The years have been kinder to you than me Bert, this was taken last year on Fathers Day when my son Bryan and I did an end to end ride on the BRP. [/img]

Oh man!!!! I don't see you listed in the rider standings for the WHGT, what's up with this photo? Nice Tiger btw!!! I'll be contacting you off list or calling you soon! I was forced to go back into the trucking industry last year and am working some really crazy hours. Was up until 1:30 this morning dealing with a...

I was looking for a photo of the FJR to show you, this is about the best one I could find quickly. I'm doing something called the 2012 Waffle House Grand Tour, the object being that you go to a Waffle House, then take a picture of your bike with your "rally towel" displayed and then post it to a...

I was about to give up on you Bert! *lol* Look forward to doing some catching up, but I haven't riden a dirt bike since '04 when I gave up racing hare scrambles here in NC. These days I'm riding on road instead of off road and have gotten real involved with LD or long distance riding. I'm on a...

No, it was Burt Barnes and he has posted in this thread. But apparently he doesn't visit here a lot or he's ignoring me! *lol* Bruce

Actually, I do. I remember that we decided to move the porta-potties after that too! That berm is visable in several of my photos too. I also remember sitting on the starting line next to Joey before a practice when our starter for the day pointed out that there were a bunch of people standing on top of that berm...

I liked the RM's, but I didn't get to ride either very long because I re-injured the knee at Homestead, which ultimately forced me to walk (limp, hobble?) away from racing. At least until around '94 when my son and I got involved with hare scrambles here in NC. The YZ was FAST, lawdy that thing would fly! I'd...

Man, great story there too... That was the BIG jump located in the center of the property at Clewsiton. Those that raced that track might remember that in the center of the property was a "rock pit" where the construction company that owned it dug out shell rock for use in their business. When we got permission to use the...

My trip down memory lane was a little flawed, but I can correct it (now that all the cobwebbs are cleared) and answer your question to boot. The name of the place I was actually thinking of was Cannon's Hammock, which was located out on S.R. 832 outside of Clewiston. There was a small MX track built there in the...

The way I remember it he seat bounced the bike on the face of the first jump and in one of those wierd things that just never happen, his front brake cable somehow got behind the top of the fork tube or number plate so that when the forks extended in the air the front brake locked up. When the...

I stumbled across this forum and thread by accident, which makes me wonder if it was fate... Lot's of great memories, lots of great photos, and I've got to add a few of my own and hopefully surprise one of the members big time. I'm going to try and upload some photos, but being a noob here I may screw...
