Those are some really sharp looking pics. They look like they were taken yesterday, not 35 years ago.
Have they been restored?

Thanks guys. Gotta give it up to my brother for scanning these things. Slides like FTE said are very tedious n time consuming and my brother basically cleaned and got the scratches out best he could. Just makes me even more sicker for the hundreds of other slides, prints that went the wayside of that Modern Cycle been looking for. Thanks again!

Top down-
Start (novice or amateur) Helvetia.
#502 David Bollinger, 125 Amateur.
#24 Danny Olsen, 125 Expert.
Some Honda rider Helvetia.
Jim Lesniewski, #65 Dana Waxham and don't remember, keep thinking Rick Woodson.
My pal Tim Dickson, 125 Am.
#342, 125 Amateur riding for Gene's Automotive. Maybe Waxham remembers.
Start of 125 Expert class, #1 Jim Lesniewski, #65 Dana Waxham, #4 white plate Husky..Jeff Watts, Mike Marquez or Rob Stuart from that Moore & Sons Husky Santa Cruz posse. Can't remember rest.
The last 3 I don't remember. Really like one 3rd from bottom. Think 250 Experts.

Have some more to come.

Fabulous photos, I can almost taste the dust and feel the sunshine. Nice 'taco you got there, too.

I suppose it says a lot about my (lack of) sense of fashion, but personally the rider gear in all these pics is so much more appealing than the modern stuff. Granted, there may be some odd mixes of colors and lines, but there's something about that grass roots, run-what-you-brung look as opposed to the fashion runway appearance of today that will always work for me. Call me hooked on nostalgia, living in the past.Dry

This is the last straw. I had to join, after just looking for so long.

When I saw the 77 RM125 with the tank cover and Cross-Up swingarm memories hit me. The 77 RM125b was the best back then. Excellent pictures.

This means I am an old coot.

Oh yeah, I'd greatly appreciate any help with naming those experts I can't remember.

I admit, I rarely wrote who's who on the slides thinking I wouldn't forget....I forgot. Smile More still to come. Thanks again!
