looks like a c-z, fullbore boots, jofa mouthguard, hallman leathers and gloves, a visorview
visor?, no silencer, i'd say 1974? John DeSoto?

72 CZ yellow tanker. I remember that pic as a poster. To me it epitomizes moto of the 70's.

Could be Jaroslav Falta...not exactly sure.

The helmet and Jofa mouth guard were too common. It looks to be a '72 250cc. Looks like an awfully big jug (could be a 400?), but it's definitely a "yellow tanker".

Best guess...

Larry "Skip" Froliech. He was a local racer that lived 10 minutes from Jawa CZ East in Plainview NY.
This is a guess but knew he was in one of there promos/posters and believe this is it.

I clearly remember this picture. WHO it is...no help here. That ain't DeSoto, he was bigger than this guy. Obvious to me it's a yellow tanker CZ..I'm thinking 250. I know the cylinder "looks" big, but the CZ cylinders' fin area WAS big. Hallman blue/yellow stripe leathers, Full Bore boots, cotton jersey, jofa,(is that a "visor view"??)anyway...standard fare for the "big boys" back in the day. That's a cool photo man...love it.

Hicks has been on the featured guest lists at Texas Vintage events over the past decade. What an epic and timeless photo.
