On my brother's Suzuki DR 250 back in '83.

Skowinski · 03-09-2013, 08:38 AM

Here's one from about 73 or 74, Yamaha 250MX. Damn thing had way too much power for the frame and suspension to deal with.

My Dad and I, 1958, next to his Indian, in the front yard of the house I grew up in....

A beautiful photo.......it captures the 50's so well. I can see the caring eyes of your dad and his protective gestures.

Early 70's, got me some trophies with this baby. Good times.

Late 70's, riding my brother's R100RS from Texas to Alaska. Ride on, Mark H.

The first (only) new bike I bought, a '94 Ninja 600. On the seat is my girlfriend at the time's son.

Arzach · 03-11-2013, 06:39 PM

Early 70's in Kinshasa .
I brought that bike back in France in 74 swapped the original fork to a Marzocchi to upgrade and
race local enduros and sold the original to a friend building a trials hack .
