No wonder you were always so fast.While we were on tricycles,you were on a unicycle.It just ain't fair !!!
Yeah,but it looks like it came easily !!!!
Mr.Hance !!! You're the Man.We'll look for you at the Banquet.Take care.
Clay !!!
I painted mine.
I was in this race too but as I recall I'm about 100 yds behind all these fast guys.
Last Race of the 2009 TVRC Fall Series @ River Valley MX at River Valley MX
December 8, 2009 all day
Our good friends David and Liz Lux will host the final race of the TVRC 2009 Fall Series at River Valley MX, this Sunday December 13, 2009. This track is always fun and challenging for riders. A great place to spectate also, as almost the entire tra…
The YZ's they sold in 74 were silver and yellow in 75 & 76.The bikes in Europe,Canada & Austalia were white with the red stripe.Mine are both 75's and are painted white.One has a red stripe & one has a black stripe.
Might have to drag out my New Ducati !!!!
Yeah Rick but it might have been those Gabriel HiJackers you had on the rear.It looked like an Anteater in search of dinner with the rear up so high.
Get some automotive ones like Rancho,should work.If you can't find any let me know.I think I may have some black and red ones.
Joe !!! Glad to hear from you.Had us scared.Oh,yeah,check your messages !!!
At least it didn't have a Husky logo on it.But you're right,those are kinda hard to get out of.I just kinda roll off then push up off the floor.It's not a pretty sight.But at least I can still do it.
Is this sponsor still around ??? Us vintage guys could really use the chairs now.
Thanks Jack !!! It's an honor !!!!
In neutral !!!!
What if Hannah had been on one ???

Joe Joiner said… - 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?

Ken Walden said… - Mr. Bill, what's the deal with that avatar pic.....is that a little bear cubbie? Did you make that yourself ??? I hope you have a good MX story to go with that; sure would make me more comfortable.

I have to admit I'm not a super fan of Hannah, but I did see some of the greatest come from behind rides from him. I know Johnny O' put in a great `125 ride in the MXD on a dry track, but I got to see Hannah's 125(a true 125!) ride in the mud and hi…
No Thats Keith at Mosier getting the starting gate holeshot. Keith rumor has it that your famous starting gate holeshot is how you broke your leg. No wonder Talbot used to chase you all around mosier

Wow Keith your right looks like him on the #816 bike........................;^}
Get some meds..... Get some meds CK. Regards MKA
cut the crap! Hannah..., the best MX'er of all time?!?!?!? uh-oh, I have a little bit of vomit in my mouth!
short list of better, faster guys: Robert, DeCoster, Mikkola. there's more, too!
"LET BROC BYE!"
none of the three guys mentioned above wou…
Un freakin believeable! It is still in such excellent condition!! I still have my original 1969 and 1970 monthly sales sheet with the invoice # listed on it. I'll skan it and send it to you. Let me know when there is another VJMC gathering. Maybe I'…
Yes it is. That was the bike you sold to my dad. It is unrestored. This was taken a couple of years ago at Up "N" Smoke in Keller at a VJMC gathering. That's one of Tony's Z-1's in the background..
Bill, I second that. Hance, you're OK, even though you laughed so hard at me last year when I missed the berm and crashed my XR100 in front of you. Your entry fee is certainly a nice gesture for Stacy. I'm sure he will appreciate it. It's things lik…
Rick, is that the same bike I think it is?
Mark, it's been 41 years now, so my memory aint as sharp as it maybe once was (If it ever was) and maybe you influenced me and Greg to learn how to ride the uni-cycles............. No wonder you were so much better on your uni-cycle than we were !!!…
No wonder you were always so fast.While we were on tricycles,you were on a unicycle.It just ain't fair !!!
I must have never told Joe, but I had a unicycle when I was a kid. Seems like your your balance is so much better when your young that it is easier to pick up when your a kid. There were 2 other kids in the hood that rode them, and we all rode them…
Thank you, Mike. Send it to Walden or Craig. Do I hear $105 from anyone? 110? How much would someone pay NOT to see me in the Pink Thong again?
Yeah,but it looks like it came easily !!!!
Craig- I think 68 or 69- not sure though.
David Donaldson used to MX some in the Metroplex area, and Craig on a day like to day Bishop would be covering that head with a toboggan- a stocking cap for any yankees out there . Miller and Gotschall are CC guys.
Mom & Pop were big into the Elks lodge, and every year they would have a Christmas program for under privileged kids, and I was drafted into clowning.
Mr.Hance !!! You're the Man.We'll look for you at the Banquet.Take care.
I can't make it but please sign me up for $100 entry, and let me know where to send my entry fee!
