A Trip Down Memory Lane
Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 8:40AM
If you ever want to take a walk down memory lane just sell your house. You get to move all the stuff you have had packed away for 30……………. YES 30, years. I found jerseys I wore when I rode the 250 Nationals in 1983. A jersey from Sun River cycles, which was owned by none other than Art, the creator of this website. Jerseys I wore when I rode in France for a company named Motocross Marketing and across the rest of the European countries to include Spain, Luxembourg, Switzerland, England and Belgium. Jerseys from my first REAL sponsor, Hi-Point Racing, courtesy of Bruce Young and Dave Duarte.
A special shirt instead of a jersey with a BP racing logo that stood for Bruce Porter whose name is associated with Arai helmets. Bruce was a true enthusiast and loved 4-strokes 30 years ago. He had a pair of the best hand built racing 4-strokes of the era. I won a 4-stroke National championship on Bruce’s big thundering 600cc piece of art that would be competitive with today’s modern 4-stroke bikes on the market.
I even have a MAICO/Hi Point jersey with my first Pro number #219 from 1980. Well I guess I had better get back to folding and storing these treasures until the next time I move. Hope you have a few things from back in the day and smile remembering days gone by.

Hey "Ironman / Geezer" I believe I still have the Sun River jersey hanging in a closet over at my mom and dads house, you gave me one along with a hi point Yamaha jersey when I was 15 or 16 yrs old. I remember wandering the warehouse of Hi-point with you and literally a "shopping cart" as you gathered gear for the Nationals .. Kid in a candy store is all that compares !! Lol.
