This was a awesome man. He was a high school friend of my Dads. Both Growing up in Union Grove Wisconsin. Both went off to the War (WW2). He and his family knew most of mine. He sold me my first Street bike in 85'.... a Maxium 700 and traded it later for a V-Max. He thought I was a crazy kid.lol He will be fondly missed in my Community. Hell of a guy a great man. http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?artic le=50867 |

oh yeah, those were the days for AMA [not "AMA Pro"] roadracing..... you'll occasionally see similar '60s & '70s Daytona fotos for other BIG factory teams from H-D, Triumph/BSA, Yamaha & Suzuki |
