I had the same year YZ100 with 3 different pipes. One was a Snake Pipe that would come off of the cylinder after every big jump. The engine was blueprinted, ported and had a huge Mikuni carb that sucked pre-mix I bought it used from Tim Oliver.
Yes this is a real beauty.......I won a letter jacket at Mosier on this bike. I still have it. You had to win 5 races to get one. Funny. This was my favorite bike I raced. All we did was put a YZ 100 pipe on it and it was graet. Loved it.
Bike...$795,, stick on numbers....2.95,, T shirt.....3 bucks,, bell bottom jeans....6 bucks,,, Picture of all the above, complete with 70s hairdo............absolutely priceless !!! That's a cool picture.....I love it.
Just noticed Cole showing off his broken tib/fib. I think he did that one three times.
Isn't that the same thing that happened to DeCoster years ago after a crash at Saddleback?
Cole looks impressed!
What a crazy bastard. You know he is up to no good.....Just kiddin big guy!

Craig Knight said… - hey Jim, I figured you knew I was kidding, but wanted to be sure. you know how "e-contact" can be easily mis-interpreted. BTW - I have no problem with more pics of you or others. not everyone is fortunate to have them, and you were a fixture in the mid to late 70's, for sure. the photos are a huge part of what makes this site fun. glad you're on it.

- hell no, I don't golf. I tried..., really. gave it a shot while I lived in Houston (87-95). I suck at golf, can't relax, and just don't enjoy it. Skip Franks is a crazy good golfer. he's over at Ridglea. sees Bramer all the time. I did see your pic last year in the tournament program. I live just up the hill fron the zoo. I'm close enough to Colonel's bikes to go hassle Randy Sullivan any time I want.
I quit racing in December 1980. completely walked away from it. then, 27 years to the month, I got sucked back into it....., thanks to Hance and Kirk Spencer.

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
Mcgiffin on the cover of Riders Digest
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!
