Addendum to the 70's bike video

This one is from the 80's, but the roots definitely go back.

I was at the Arizona Motorsports Park for a track day yesterday and was surprised to see this '85 RD350LC YPVS. It was a typical one-of-these-days basket cases when the current owner acquired it. Lots of time and work later he had a most unusual track bike. The only big mods were a shock from later model bike, different head, and a stroker kit.

It was nice to experience the sights, sounds, and smell of my two-stroke past.

Another one I almost had. Same as the GS 1000S I passed on, I had the chance to buy this KR painted RZ back in about 85ish for $1800 bucks, it being a brand new leftover. Bigger was better back then I guess and my young brain couldn't look far enough into the future to see what cool bikes they'd turn out to be.

The TZ gravel slinger!

I believe it's been posted before but so worth a second look.

"It came back to me." (Kenny Roberts)

Watching him ride like that With no practice, I'd say it didn't come back to him...it never left.

That was great!

I was lucky enough to see him race that TZ dirt tracker at The San Jose Mile just a few weeks after the Indy win. It was insane.

I got to see one of the last shuttle flights launch ... I think I'd trade ya!

The Golden Age of Dirt Track, glad I bought a ticket (and still have all the programs).

I got to see the Challenger land at Edwards, I cried like a baby.
