A1 COUNTDOWN!

[B-dub#15]

My dad's 125 Zundapp American Eagle with SRA numbers. He's with leather sleeves early 1972; w/o sleeves May 7, 1972. Desert size fiberglass American Eagle tank, Curnutt shocks, Bassani up-pipe, Uvex goggles, lineman's boots, Bates leathers, Preston Petty fenders, home-made skid plate and side plate, and Bell helmet. We weren't wearing visors yet, but I don't remember why.

Beginning towards the end of 1971, my dad tasked me to help him set up another Eagle for desert, for "a friend of his". On Saturday night January 22, 1972, we took both bikes out to Salton City for camping, and to deliver the "friend's" bike.
Morning comes early, and my dad says, "Go out and get 'your bike' off the trailer."
"Huh?', I grunted.
His response, "You didn't think I'd have you do all that work for someone else, did you?"
He was 33 and I was 15. We'll be 88 and 70 this April.

Holy shit! What a great Dad and thanks for sharing this story!   He created a very special memory for the two of you that day!

Too damn cool!! Thank you for sharing! I have a pair of Bill Walter's sleeve's just like those that I wore once at a race on the abandoned West Winds golf course at George AFB in Victorville. I quite enjoyed that race as I absolutely hate golf!

Mark Ashworth (319) leading Reggie Yarbrough (38), Scott Ward (17) and Mike Webb (13) in night motocross action from Travelers Rest, SC in July 1987. Another interesting item with this photo - see the bikes with lights in the background? This was a combined 125cc Amateur and Enduro bike class race. (Loren and Barbara Williams photo)

I thought you would post the pic of your holeshot.

"Days 'til A1" need to match number plate. I've set a variety aside, as I didn't post for last year.

Sure seems like #277 meets the criteria.

Now I see what you mean, however...
...I used the 277 picture to get a picture of me included.
I'm N16 on the '87 CR250 Honda. (My next photo(s) are ready for day 268.)
