That one horsepower could be harder to manage than the CZ with 3" of travel.

That's great! I'm 40 years in with my son, although my participation now is limited to mostly watching and putting gas in the bike😔.

Dang…how did you manage with only ONE “horsepower” there!? 🤔 💥 🤪 😎 👍❗️

In the 70s I went from a bicycle to a CZ 250 to cars, girls and race horses. Good times

This thread is hall of fame worthy. Keep the pictures coming guys. 🙂

Love it! How long did you continue to ride together?

My dad on his Elsinore - you guys tell me the year

I went from that Triumph in 1969 to a beater Honda CB160 to my first race on my dad's BSA in 1972 to my first real MX bike a Suzuki TM250 in 1974 to a Suzuki RM250 to a Yamaha YZ250. From 1966 - 1980 was the best time of my life.

1975 or 76

The 70's for me, good times but no racing pictures. I didn't enter a race until I was 30 (1989) Parents thought motorcycles were too dangerous, never mind we were going 40 mph downhills on our skateboards barefoot in surf trunks....When I turned 15-1/2 I bought my first transportation, a '72 SL70. No they weren't real happy about it but it got me out of their hair so it was ok lol. The day I turned 18 I moved out, started buying toys and going to the desert to ride and Baja to surf every chance we got. Barely owned...
