My best friend ( whom I still go to the races with) Had a 74 Maico and he was Weil. We had some great times riding together.
You hit the nail on the head T. Us old farts are so damn lucky to have been on the front end of the sport.

Yup!
C'mon, T. Progress is the goal! MX/SX should be more like F1, the common man shouldn't even be allowed to ride the same track as the paid professionals! Soul is for losers who live in the past!
Oooops, too much coffee...

Now that's the way it's supposed to be. Out of the back of the station wagon with a two wheel trailer.
That's why I come here.

My jaw hit the ground when I saw that station wagon and trailer. Flashbacks are so cool...instantly reminded me of road trips to the races with jerry cans strapped onto our bikes on the 3 rail trailer so we didn't pass out from the fumes if they were in the wagon.
When I got my Chevy van...man, we were STYLIN' then!! Had a wall in between the bikes and the front, put a bench seat out of an old car from the junkyard behind the buckets so we could take turns sleeping on long road trips. Too cool!!

Exactly.
Personally, when I see shots of the old guys like Decoster and Hannah, etc., I think some local hotshots have more in common with them than some of the kids who have been groomed from the cradle to to be the next big start.
Pictures like the ones in this thread really get to the core of why most of us old guys loved the sport in the first place. It's really a shame that progress will make it so that the younger generation won't see their moto heros in the same, more human light.
He still has that bike and is in the middle of restoring it. He has the original tank and fenders and they still look that good. I am afraid that the Station wagon is long gone though
That pic was taken at Whitesburg MX, Georgia's version of chicken lix raceway

Where was Whitesburg Larry? I raced all over Ga in the early 70's.

When we moved some pic's got lost. Unfortunately including one of my buddy Mert poring water from a bucket over Bengt Aberg's head helping him clean up after a Trans-AM. He was the World Champion at the time a running out of a van.

I always wanted Full House riding gear.
If that's DiStefano, someone blew it.

***EDIT***
I guess [i:b1ca7]I[/i:b1ca7] blew it. Tony D. it is.
Found the pic again on this site:

Definitely not where I got it the first time. Can't bootleg from this site.
Some good stuff there. Take a look.
