The fact that Lechien was able to pass 39 riders in the first moto is a true testament of his natural ability. I was incredibly lucky to witness him absolutely embarrass the rest of the field in 1987 in the first 250cc moto at Southwick Massachusetts. His pace was like nothing I've ever seen before or since from a motocross rider. I've watched the video of this race, but unfortunately, it doesn't translate to being there in person. If the story is true, he took his high school girlfriend to her prom the night before in California and had to catch a red-eye clear across the country and made it just in time for practice. Chances are he did it with a raging hangover, which makes it even more incredible.
if Ron took motocross seriously everyone else would lose to him for as long as he chose to ride and there wouldn't be a thing they could do!!! its always the guys with raw talent that dont train?!?
@@zacharyldalziel7569 More power and more weight, a 450 YZ with gas is 250 pounds, the YZ250 is 215 dry.. In my opinion the 4 stroke needs more flywheel effect.
Randy Vertrees Never part with all or part of any 89 KX! My favorite bike of all except any 89 and up KX 500. I have two 500s, three 250s, and so many parts! I even found one I forgot, when cleaning out my shed!

Back when all the factory riders had box vans. It was good to see Bevo Forti at the Millville Pro National yesterday in 2022.
This is really cool. A nice look at the Millville from back in the day. I also like how you can hear the sounds of the 2 strokes wailing away...
Thanks for that throw back Danny super sweet, bad boy 500s
Ward was a such a hard worker his regiment got him where he is the smallest guy and wins a 500 championship!!!
Hi Danny great video, it’s your friend Jeff b
500cc 2 stroke for a full moto! The fitness level of the top guys Ward, RJ etc had to have been amazing to race one of those beasts.
Team Kawasaki jeff M. . ANS TWAM YAMAHAS DAMON BRADSHAW. AND GUY COOPER. MY 3 FAVORITE RIDERS. LOVE THESE OLD SCHOOL RACES.
Guy Cooper looked like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber.

Didn't Jeff Wards 500 look good. No anodising, all silver, green and blue. Sweet.
Even with anodizing looks worlds better than Grn n Blk tractors they got now ..
The Second moto please
You ain't mixin gas, you ain't hauling ass.
If you're mixin gas, you probably line up next to a guy with an 85% bigger engine! SAD.
@@user-sp8eb6iz7f True that. And that four stroke, will have more power as well.
