Yeah !!! One dead Taco is a good start.
You look bigger in this pix !!! Is Burleson a little guy or was it your Afro ???
It's all that rotary valve power.Right JT ???
What's up with all the Snores ??? Sure they look cool but when's the last time you saw them win anything ??? Or even finish ????
Hey Joe !!! Quit looking at this pix and check your messages.I also have Jackie's Entry coming too & trying to run him down too.
Yeah,Paul.Way to go.
I had mine one year then went on welfare as my total Pro AMA winnings for that year was $ 160.00.
You taught him well And once he got on Yamaha's,the rest is history.
A couple of buddies of mine in South Texas,Ricky & Ray Byrd flat tracked a couple of these back in the day.They smoked my S-90 and then my Hodaka.But now that I think about it,it was probably the rider as they usually dusted me later when we went ...
OOPS, I think I'm confused (seems I stay that way a lot lately), The Horex was German ( I just called Perry. He also told me that he has a nice one in his collection) , and the Japanese copy was called an Olympus. Uh.....and Mark.....I coulda done...
And some of our members are old and barely walking!
A Horex was an early example of Japan copying an existing bike. I don't really know what they copied with this bike, but it looks very European. Perry Bushong is very knowledgable on Horex motorcycles, as he is on most older bikes. The guy is a wa...
Yes,that's it.I never heard of one.
Maybe a Horex ???
Ariel is the background ???

- Bill, as I remember, there were only 2 motos in the Jr. class. On Sat. the 9th, I went 1-1 in the 250 class. On Sun. the 10th, I won yhe firdt heat in the open Jr. and had a good lead in the 2nd moto when I hit a rock and bent the shift lever around the foot peg. The tranny was in 3rd gear and I could not shift up or down. I continued for another lap then pulled off the track and tried to kick it back out straight, all the time holding the clutch in and trying to not let the engine die. I finally took off again ( numerous people had passed me by then) still locked in 3rd gear, and limped in the next lap to finish way down. With the 1st moto win and the dismal finish in the 2nd, I had enough points to finish 3rd for the day in open Jr. class. Thanks Bill for the interest.

- He want's an old style mini and sent me that pic. Not sure if that is what the market wants so I'm fishing for some idea's. The Honda copies have already been done. Think he wants a cheap unit to sell our gocart dealers.
Too cool what you found for Mark & Joe. Good work.

- Hey Bill- Thanks for the info on Hartwig, Ed Terrell and I both marvelled at his speed on that Husky, hate to hear about his back injury ending his career because he really had a bright future ahead of him. I remember the names Tom Volin and especially Russ Darnell from very early on.

- Hey Bill, sorry to take so long to get back to you, but I just had my right hip joint replaced with the newest, best (lets hope) ceramic type. Re-hab will be 6-8 weeks, they tell me. So I should have plenty of computer time on my hands. I have 2 older brothers, Johnnie and Jimmie. We came from San Angelo, Tx and Johnnie was a motorcycle racer in the mid to late 50s and early 60s. He also had a BSA and Maico dealership there in town. My dad had 6 uncles, they all came from West Monroe, La, , so maybe a long, lost 2nd or 3rd cousin or something. Not aware of any Frank close around though.

Clay Coburn said… - I might have to give it a shot. Is it easy to replace the spring? The bike worked really well out at RV the other day but the track was real smooth.

- I have never heard of Orange County Cycle but I might have to try that. Is it good to go or does it need to be rebuilt?

While I may not know Jack's doodoo, I am familar with grammar.
EXACTLY !!!! "Poor Thang's" story is just one more example of the misery and tragedy that befalls any devotee of the evil rotary valve design!
Mike likes to ride occasionally, did i mention he brought Tvrc back from less than ten payed members to closee to 100. Was it his Bar BQ. And then Ken and Craig take the reins and beef it to over 100 close to 125. When ya meet any of these three s...
Dear Mister Edwards, Rick Oestricher dont know JS. I recommend you gear the sach tall use a little bitty sprocket and never shift past first. that eliminates your tranny problems. Regards MKA
David,
This is not exactly what you're looking for but I am selling my 88 CR250. It is in immaculate condition with very low hours. I purchased it from the original owner in California (have original title). He could ride the DOS XX class? Asking...
This was my dads bike he let me ride cause I had sold my Mini-Enduro and was saving up for a Yam MX100. We had to do a bore job on it and there was this guy in the nieghborhood that raced short track and he polished the ports and that bike was fas...
Mr. KIA, Let me assist. The neutral-ectomy is properly performed by twisting and then pulling sharply up on the Sachs-engined device's gas cap making sure to carefully toss the remaining motorcycle in a garbage can and sliding an Elsinore in its p...
Dear MKA, trying to uncover the true facts on my Sachs Shifting adjustments. I have looked in the the transmission and found 347 extra neutrals. Do you (seriously!) have the magic formula for correct adjustment of the the shifting mechanism.
If a...
We got a new kart and I was assigned the task of finding the roll over limit. Given our budget I couldn't afford the proper electronic equipment so I had to devise a simple base line to work off of. Knowing the scientific principles of basic fluid...
And I hear he is a great Mohel, on the side ;)
Yeah !!! One dead Taco is a good start.
