Those are awesome photos. That Bradshaw replica YZ125 in the second post is badass.

Both of these (ones like them) bring back great memories, as they were my first (Penton) and second (Husky) real race bikes! Thanks for the pics, Herb! Smile

Was “floating” the rear brake drum just a fad?

We dont “float” rear disk calipers.

Awesome post. Thank you! Anyone can buy a new bike and bolt on parts. Takes a real fan of the sport to locate and restore to new the bikes that made this sport. So much more character and uniqueness than anything since 2000.

A lot of beautiful machinery, thank you for posting.

I had a flashback to 1974 of walking through the pits at an NESC race at Southwick Motocross 338 when I was a kid. What an era to grow up in.

Rick didn’t ride. Broc was riding a Honda Elsinore 125 very fast. Saw him over jump the finish line table top one lap.
