Riccardo shows us what a Grass Track looks like in Italy!

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

If you look back through my posts you will find that I sold my RM465 to a guy from Italy, Riccardo.  Riccardo has been very cool about sending me pictures and giving me updates about his racing exploits on the RM 465.  However, these pictures are something special.
I raved and went on and on about […]

More on the RM465 in ITALY!

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Riccardo sent me more pictures of him on the RM 465 yesterday.  If you look back at my blog, Riccardo bought my RM465 and took it back home with him to Italy.  These pictures were taken at the world famous GP track in Pinerolo, Italy.

Notice the holeshot that Riccardo has on the big RM465!

A few posts back I talked about selling my RM465 to a guy in Italy.  Well, he has it home and went out with it for the first time a few days ago.  Here is his email to me, as I got it:

Where to buy your motocross gear…..

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

I don’t endorse anything unless the product or the organization exceeds my expectations.  Atomic Moto.com is an online store that blows all others out of the water. 
First, they only have top notch products available - and the prices are the lowest around. 
Second, read this:

More vintage film - Early 1987, Carlsbad Raceway Motocross

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

This VHS tape was in pretty bad shape.  I remember watching this over and over, and now I have it saved forever.  The track they ran that day was very close to the USGP track they ran back in the late 70’s and early 80’s.  If I remember correctly, this race was the 500cc Novice […]

Blast from the past - 1986 footage of my CR500

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

This is footage from a very old VHS tape that I found.  The soundtrack was already there, but I put in the title and sound effect when I ripped the VHS tape to digital.  This was my second dirt bike that I purchased new.  The footage was taken in back of my apartment complex in […]
