I have seen pictures of O’Mara on white RM 250s from 88 and 89. I think it was as only for some Italian races like Masters of Motocross at Maggiora or Fast Cross where he would be helped out by the Chesterfield Suzuki team who normally ran white Suzuki’s in the GPs.

Wow... never seen this photo... not a lot of photos of Oshow on the 88.... I believe he hurt his knee sometime soon after he signed with Suzuki, I”m sure that kept him out of action fo a while...great photo!

When I was moving last month, I found an old autograph card from '88. If I can remember, I'll dig it out this weekend, scan it and post it here.

Why is he running the Scott Goggle ?
That is the super rare thing for me,
O'Show and Oakley go together like a table and chair.

And he is wearing a jersey that says #19, while the bike says #16, and his helmet says #1. The #1 on the helmet is strange, as he last had a #1 many, many years earlier....

Could the #1 helmet be from an MXDN kit?
