It’s funny to see how motorcycles have changed over the years. I’m 58 years old I grew up racing flat track motorcycle racing. In the 70s racing consisted of taking a street bike and turning it into a dirt bike. Even dirt bikes sold new were of street bike designs, just stripped down. It wasn’t until the late 70s that motor cross bikes were sold. I watched flat track die and motor cross become the norm. Now they use motor cross bikes for flat track racing. In the 70s everyone raced flat track there were no motor cross tracks. I’m hoping to see a resurgence of flat track racing. I’m looking for a good framer to race if anyone has one let me know. I still have my hot shoe I made in 1978. It needs to be lengthened to fit my foot now but I hope to get it done soon as well.
Oh lord, I remember talking to you at Willow Springs 40yrs ago !!!
