Guys and gals,
"It was forty years ago today, Jim Pomeroy showed the Euro's how we played..." (not much at writing to Sgt. Peppers)
But anyway, Tomorrow or today depending on when you read this, Jim Pomeroy became the first American to win a GP in Spain aboard his trusted (sometimes) Bultaco. April 6th, 1973.
So how about we post some pics and have a "Bimbo Day"? (not that kind you pervs...well, now that you think about it...)
Let's see 'em!

Bultaco Pursang........fast and slid like a flat track bike.
A single tear rolls down my cheek.
and remember riding a Bultaco with the shifter on the wrong side ..what a trip.
The Shop
Favor request from me .... anyone got any good photos of Jim on the 78 RC500 Honda's? They are few and far between on google and not detailed. Possibly at a Trans Am / AMA event anyone??? Need some research material for my project.
Since he and Lackey always seemed to be vintage racing together... When was the last time two 78 RC's shared the same floor space???

RESPECT
Anyhoo, Jim says.....No Jap Bikes!
My 1977 250 Pursang. Jim Pomeroy was always my favorite.
Pit Row
I had to older models back in the day but always wanted a '77.
JK sounds cool though. All racers are bad asses.
Thanks. Keep em coming... leaving this open on my screen.
The days when MEN rode dirt bikes and had mustaches and smoked between motos and drank beer during the race!
Solid baddass.
For those of you not familiar with Jim being the "First Amaerican", read this about his trophy from that race.
