All

I have lived in Calif. all my life [53yrs], Central and Northern [Folsom, Placerville]. Can't believe nobody has brought up WATER!!!!!!!! Were looking like we will have a wet winter, but if we don't SoCal will be lucky to have enough to take a shower. Here in Central Ca wells are drying up like crazy, 8 to 12 month waiting...

Interesting to look back how some of us felt/looked at adderall when it involved somebody [Jeremy Mayfield] outside of our sport back in 2009. Doug S.

Thanks Scotty for moving it over here and thanks Greg-15 for the original post in old moto. Lots of debating lately over how today's stars would compare with past riders in there prime, pretty much impossible to really reach any kind of logical conclusion on how this "MX Fantasy Race" would end. That being said, if this race could be...

Not sure if this is the same death/accident you mentioned seeing, but I was racing 125 int. in 1983 [or 84] and saw a kid about 14 yrs old in the 125 jr class unfortunately crash and pass away. I was standing about 40' away from were he went down. It was the 2nd or 3rd corner, and was the...

Hey dr516, What is the name of the shop in visalia that does the re-chroming? Doug S.

So sorry for your loss Marty. Nor Cal sure has been hit hard recently. Godspeed Fred Lewis. Doug S.

Check lower triple clamp is not bent. rare, but does happen. Doug S.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, old vs young, moto has now been around long enough for generation gaps. Metal Mulisha definitely has moto roots, no one can take that away from them, and as much as I hate flat bills, I respect them for that. What freestyle-rs do on a scooter, just amazes me. Way to late [approaching 50] for me to even think...

For this wknd Townley should have had a but patch on that read "SUE ME" Doug S.

Bobby, Looks like you got some great replies. I have been going there since the sixties, a lot has changed. It use to be possible to ride for miles [any body remember devils slide?], now only about 10% is available. Still a great place to ride, and nothing else really compares, especially if you are lucky enough to be there...

HOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, should be a sticky. Any body who has ever welded, fabricated, machined and raced, will get so much out of this film. Loved watching the Konig factory shots. At first glance, looks crude, but if you look closely, everything is well organized, and bleeds craftsmanship, and pride. Even the electrical conduit is perfectly placed. The Konig 250cc water-cooled...

Wow, was starting to think i was the only one that remembered some of these. I am surprised though, that one of my favorites [and very popular] has not been mentioned. I will give a hint, I believe their was only one episode where the main character ever uttered a word. Need a second hint? When he did speak, he...

Hey Matt, Did you race in the central valley [calif] open class in 1980? I raced there during that time on a canam 370 for the hanford cycle center, mostly in the intermediate class. Just curious if we raced against each other. Doug S.

I am a lot more comfortable turning left than I am right. Hell, I even have a hard time walking my bike on the right hand side, and never push it up a ramp on the right hand side while loading into the back of a truck. Anybody else feel he same way? Looks like most of these pics [especially...

I had some pics from the 1977 sears point TRANS-AMA, but could not find them. Seeing those factory RC500's was just unbelievable! In my humble opinion, I don't think there was ever a bigger gap between factory bikes and privateers. I did find my ticket stub, hopefully it made with this post. I am a virgin at trying to include...

No gloves, must be Coupe. Doug S.

How well is it working out in road racing? Doug S

With all the different ways to add HP/torque, including fuel, and all the the different ways needed to properly inspect, for all the different model bikes/yrs, it is almost an impossible task to catch the cheaters, without spending an incredible amount of time/money with the current system used, tear down inspect/measure, sending fuel out for lab testing [any track side...

Looks like everybody else have already covered what is available. Might want to try asking a couple of local bike shops, they may know of a few places. You would have loved Santa Maria. Always had good turnouts, and when they didn't they would run three motos. Practice was a blast, about as smooth and hooked as it gets,come first...
