I won Best Motorcycle at the Bob Paeth Memorial model contest at the Portland Roadster Show- the trophy girl was Miss Oregon, whose father was later indicted as a Serbian war criminal
Very cool... I used to race a RS 250 in the SW Division... did't race it but maybe a season. Coming off an R6, I thought I'd give this class a go... it's not for the faint of heart, much less a 500. Went back to the R6. The powerband is crazy to get used to on a 2 stroke coming out of the apex.

That's pretty sweet!. I like the old scoots! Very clean Sir!. My 73' Honda CL100 is not quite this clean, but it stays in the the shop building.... I had the forks rebuilt, but couldn't find those rubber boot covers. Mine has a tear in it. Not noticeable, but I thought they would be easier to find. What year is this one?
It's a '74 and and unrestored other than the seat cover was replaced prior to my owning it

CIrca 2004, Texas World Speedway... in my younger days. Turn 5. I couldn't do this anymore if I tried. Did it for 10 years, 4 as an Expert License holder... my back still hurts. The CMRA would hold 4-8 hour Endurance races at 6 different tracks during the season. TWS has 14 turns per lap.. best time I ever got over 2.8 miles was around 1 minute, 55 seconds. Top speed on the straight, 168mph.

Man... I've done a lot of shit in my 54 years.. this life is a one way ticket ride. Take the risks, scare the shit out of yourself, and then in your latter years, you can reflect on it, and say "I did a lot of shit".
You know when your parents tell you to not touch the gun? They also do it for electrical outlets..and when you're age 4, you're grown and know better..so you go get the butter knife.
