Anybody remember this place? Have the years softened the pain? Remember the glass and the trash flying by in the roost? The smell on a hot summer afternoon? Anyway, name the riders. SE7ENMX: That's Chris Grewer on the inside toward the back, 17p I think. [img:b1e70]https://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL844/4049544/8417262/132327465.jpg[/im…] So, I'm a newb. How do you post pictures at a larger size? I...

Anyone remember if it was a book by Rolf Tiblin or Torsten Hallman with Tiblin in it? I can't remember the name, but the book had some great "home grown" workouts in it. Like squats and hops in sand with a basketball between your legs. Tiblin was an animal in his day. Anyone? T-Bond? BobbyM? Though you might even be...

[quote="RussS":c6884]Thje problem with using Maico forks was that you needed to use Maico clamps ... and Maico wheels. That meant using Maico brakes and when talking about Maico the use of the word brake was an oxymoron. I think they meant Maico breaks ... LMAO. Hell the only reason BobbyM, Gaylon Jim West and a few others were so fast...

Anybody have a copy of that old "Snoopy" ad they used to run in Cycle news all the time? "Happiness is a day at Baymare"

Wow, Thanx Lenny. I used to watch that show every Saturday morning. Fractured Fairy Tales, the Way Back Machine, Wassamatta U and how can we forget: Bulwinkle: "Hey Rocky. Watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat." Rocky: "Again?" OK, back to work for me.

[quote="indy_maico":102c2]It was old gear from 1976 when Maico colors were blue & yellow. They only just changed to red & yellow in 1977 with that red-frame AW.[/quote:102c2] Dude, don't confuse us with the facts.
[quote="T-BOND":7c7b1]I think the one you are thinking about is " The Husqvarna training manual" Rolf Tibblen was in charge of the Husqvarna motocross school at Carlsbad for years. Another good one was "The tecnique of motocross" by Ake Jonsson.[/quote:7c7b1] Yup, thats it. Thanks. I doubt I'll ever find a copy though.
I saw a pair at an AMRA Off Road race a few weeks ago (Phoenix area). I did a double take. They were in very good condition, must have been in someones garage for a while. They'll get trashed pretty quick riding off road around here. The rocks are ridiculous.

[quote="SE7ENMX":cd106]I grew up with Jim and Paul Turner, Redwood City, CA. I wanted to be as good as Jim. He rode Trans-AM's, Nationals, Two time Canadian champ for Suzuki in the 70's. I loved the way he would just throw around his CZ's. Paul became a Team Honda mechanic, and founded RockShox company, with Keith Bontrager, and Steve Simons. Bontrager...

[quote="FreshTopEnd":0a9d5] I have to respectfully disagree. It was really cool the first year, virigin grass, but it was a beat, baked clay piece of crap the years after that.[/quote:0a9d5] I guess being a local has some advantages. Carnegie's upper track was awesome a lot... if it was damp. I think the problem was getting water up there. It was a...

[quote="SE7ENMX":f11e7]Trickster, no I'm not a Grewer, Dan Geery, that picture of Bobbym is me, behind him on the Honda. Sandhill rocked. Rode 125's all thru the70's and 80's. Remember Lenny Macerella, Mike Amaral, so many more?[/quote:f11e7] Wow, Mike Amaral. I haven't thought about that guy in a while. We were room mates before he joined the Military. Never heard anything...

You were better off. That was one of my least fav bikes. The first RM's were terrible. They should have been called flexi-flyers. I broke the frame, swing arm, and bent the forks different times while racing it. The Husky GP's were awesome.
