found this old pic. Me on a YZ465 in about 83, on a MX track, my girl watching, full face helmet, levis, hoodie, in the air wooohooo funny stuff.
a head of its time Motosportz proto-type neck safety brace.....ah no thats your hoodie.....great shot!!!
is right! nice, sweet mellow XL175 to hold on tight, hit ya in the groin power of the YZ465 (forget about traction). Awesome bike!
That really is a pretty big leap but from the looks of the photo you made the transition pretty well.
nice shot! I thought you didn't ride MX? haha... I really like the open face and no visor too...good old days.
Nothing wrong with open face helmets. I raced in them for years and still like to wear them, although it's hard to find any dirt oriented open face helmets these days. Usually sported a weepul on the peak or the top of the helmet, like in this picture in 1976. Got my Jofa mouth guard and my Carrera goggles.
Hard to see but i had these "killer" gloves too... And to top it off I wore Levis with leather sewn on the thy area. My mom sewed in on there because i could wear out a set of Levis in a week slinging bails onto a flatbed. That was hard work, with many 12-14 hour days of it and I was in awesome shape. Those were the days.
sweet gloves!! I sported the old pudding bowl lid too btw...the only thing is, mine had a really cool 70's mural design.
Geez here my first 'full face' helmet Check out my stellar boots not even tied up... 1976 Yammie 250 We still use 'open face' helmet on our Trials bikes.
Buddy of mine that was there the day this pic was taken and also on a YZ465 (but much nicer than mine) and I were just talking the other day about how simple dirtbike riding used to be. Get an old bike, toss some gas in it, find a helmet that kind fit and go have a great day. I spend more now on a helmet or boots than I did on the entire bike and setup back then
