42 old school MX pics (tecate, 250r, tri-Z and even a tiger!

[Tri-ZNate]

I borrowed these from my neighbor's kid today to scan for everyone. These are pretty neat since they were all from one race in which my neighbor came in 4th. They were taken in June of 1985 at the Broome/Tioga Sprots Center in NY. His class was 250 expert. Enjoy, oh and see if you can find the TIGER!!!!



I tried to put all the pics together in groups like jumping, tecates, and so on for you guys. Oh and my neighbor's nephew has even more that he is supposed to bring on the bus tomorrow :w00t:. I gotta say there are some AWESOME tecates in here and in the one pic thats all there is :lol:


One of the smaller pics has an arrow pointing to my neighbor and in all the other ones he is the only one wearing blue jeans and a number 2 number plate.

[chris200x]

:w00t: You da man. :drool: but they are kinda hard to see.

The upside grab bars are way cool. :cool:

[ATCWRENCH]

I found the tiger. wonder why it wasnt racing in that shot.

[Tri-ZNate]

yeah the first pics are aged a little but on the upside I see some Hondaline Clothing!

[Billy Golightly]

Wow...now those are some cool pictures.

[Jeb]

Great Pics!

Is that the "CoeShow" (#23 Honda) in there! ???

Looks like a couple of Jimmy White (#31 Kawa) and Marty Hart (#1 Honda) ??

[traxxasx]

just click the picture hover your mouse over it this littel square thing will pop up in the bottom right corner click that and it enlarges the photos, (the tiger is in the last pic top left corner).

[Tri-ZNate]

I couldn't se the pics well before I scanned them but now I se a 350X actually racing too.

[Kintore]

Those are some sweet pics!
Cant wait to see some more, the upside down grab bar, whats the deal with that?

[trikezilla]

:w00t: You da man. :drool: but they are kinda hard to see. I wonder why they didn't race mixed classes? :wondering

The upside grab bars are way cool too.


I noticed the upside down grab bar(s) also. Anyone know why??

guess I gotta do that to my R in order to make it more "oldschool racer"

BTW: those pics are really awesome..id love that "HONDA ATC ' Follow the Leader'" banner!

[Tri-ZNate]

I think you dont go back as far with the grab bar down.

[Billy Golightly]

Also easier to pickup and load in a truck with it down, you get more lift out of it. Not much of a concern with it stock if your kind of tall but us shorter guys need all the help we can get :lol:

[Tri-ZNate]

here is one last pic of his pure stock 250R. Hot stuff. I also Have a TON of TRX 250r pics if you want me to post them as well from this race.

[BigGreenMachine]

That page with all the Tecates makes me want to be there so badly, they look so friggin nutz flying around the track like that. Favourite is the jump with one T3 in the air and two more T3's in front, wild! Thanks for the pics!

[85 250sx]

sweet pictures man. does your neigboure have any more?

[chris200x]

just click the picture hover your mouse over it this littel square thing will pop up in the bottom right corner click that and it enlarges the photos, (the tiger is in the last pic top left corner).

I did not know that


:pics: more :pics: :Bounce

[Orangecnty250r]

I love the shots to!!! I didnt know tecate tanks actually used to be the same Green as the rest of the bike :D

[firefirefire90]

i noteced the 350 as well. Actually i think that is a 200x!! cuz look atthe pipe. Only one tube!. Wonder how it did with the rest...Haha see in the pic of the one triz gettin hammerd by the rest of the Rs. I am guessing it is 1985?

[BigGreenMachine]

the one triz gettin hammerd by the rest of the Rs. I am guessing it is 1985?

Looks more liek rider skill or lack there of, his front end tells the tale.

Orangecounty, notice the small tank on most of the T3's pictured? Its a small aluminum gas tank made by Cal-Fab used on the shortcourse T3's to gain more steering lock, therefore decreaseing the turning radius. Thought I'd fill ya in as its a cool part of the Tecate history.

Ahhhha !!! Thanks...I did not know this

[Tri-ZNate]

more pics hopefully to come tomorrow. If the kid doesn't bring them I'll go to his house and grab 'em. I figured you guys would like these pics, especially with all the tecates. Before this I never saw tecates on a track course.

[deathman53]

also notice most of the r's have short track kits, where did all of these short track kits go?????

[MTS]

I found the tiger. wonder why it wasnt racing in that shot.
Well it IS a bombardier engin...so probably broke down hahah :lol: anyone notice the wicked front end rake on that Z,,,nuts

[Tri-ZNate]

I'm still trying to figure out what an old CBR motorcyckle is doing on the track (last pic upper left side, under the tacate)

[BigGreenMachine]

old CBR? no, CBR's weren't made until 87 and besides thats a trike...

[Tri-ZNate]

eeer I was thinking it looked like my CB400. The front tire looks too bicycle like I guess.

[2XTREME]

Great pics!!!Thanks alot for sharing them.You da man!!!!!
X:beer

[250RNUT]

Hey, Ask your nieghbor if he is sure that is broome tioga. I have been 1/2 hour from that track all my life and cant recall it ever looking like that. I really think it is little valley speedway out in western ny (cattaragus cty fairgrounds) They Just race dirt cars there now.Real cool pics and make sure you post some more. http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/

[Dammit!]

Yeah, that's the real reason. A lot of guys taped crossbar pads onto them too just in case they hit their tailbone on it.

[MTS]

They have been making CB honda's since the early 70's CBR's in late 87 as stated, a 350x front and rear end will bolt up to a CB 750 so im told.

[AirManCam]

I dont know if its just me or not, but in the 3rd picture, the one in the top left, when you enlarge the pic doesnt it look like number 43, the seat says 200R?

[chris200x]

[KASEY]

#43 is sparks on a 200x too,,,,, grab bars were upside down for a reason ,,,,anyone know why?????????? I DO,,,

[AirManCam]

Ahh, sorry about that, I saw 200 and got excited haha, I didnt even think to look at the header..

[atckowalski]

Is that Danny Noonan on the 200x in the last picture?:lol:

[Meat-BoX]

All i see is a whole bunch of cool racing trikes and most of them have the Vented # Plate we all want. Just imagine if some one sent one to Aussiedunner to reproduce. TrikeFest Motocross would never look so good.:w00t:


Yes im still pestering people for a plate to be Reproduced. Shame on all here with a Vented Plate that wont let Aussie use for a few weeks.:banned:

[edog]

Thanks for posting the pics.I have enjoyed looking at them.If i had them i would mount them in a frame,and put them on display.

Pretty sure he made some but they didn't sell well and he said he wasn't gonna bother with them again :(

[BigGreenMachine]

Thank you Billy. Aussie had too many strokers looking for plastic and when the time came to buy no one owned up to it so he lost money. I'm not sending mine, it looks too good on my trike, sorry Meat. Plus I'm sick of being pestered.

[OZQUAD44]

those photos should find there way onto to "back in the day" section

[Meat-BoX]

Figures all the good stuff gets ruined.

Ok I went to Aussie's thing and looked at his posts. I Never saw a post for Plates nor any pictures. Untill just then. He told me they were universal Plates and I swore they were just a normal plate. I did ask about one for my Tecate I remember but the Fork width was wider than honda. Im getting a Honda 200x tomorrow so I want one for that.
Why didnt anyone let me know and show me pics. Ive been up on my soap box for months begging for a doner plate for him. :crazy:

Anyway I want one or two so can anyone help me out? Or Did I miss out and Im screwed.

[BigGreenMachine]

As far as I know hes put all his unsold plates away. PM the guy and I'm sure he'll sell some. Only able to get black and white however.

[2strokepwer]

#43 is sparks on a 200x too,,,,, grab bars were upside down for a reason ,,,,anyone know why?????????? I DO,,,


I was told that they were upside down to prevent a rider from getting hurt by the grab bar in a wreck. I am not sure of that but it seems logical

His first one's title was like "Anyone interested in reproduction plastic parts?". I got a hold of him around the time he made the post you speak of and got my plate yesterday. Looks Really good too.

[Bryan Raffa]

Now that is some cool stuff....:w00t:

[Tri-ZNate]

Wow yeah good eyes Bryan, guess it isnt broome/Tioga

[Red Rider]

The pic of the hick looking guy is named John Baker .I remember that guy! I used to love to watch him ride. He was into all kinds of sports though, not just 3-wheelers. He used to hanglide, skydive, jetski, jog. In one episode, he even competed in the Baja 500 in his blue Chevy stepside pickup! You probably remember his riding partner better though, Frank Poncherello. :D


Is that Danny Noonan on the 200x in the last picture?:lol:You don't mean Danny Noonan of Bushwood Country Club fame do you?

[badasskfx]

sweet pics thanks a bunch those are awesome!

[BWard]

Number 79 riding the tecate was Tim Weaver I believe. He was one fast smooth racer.
