How unbelievably cool is this!
I'm off the board for a little spell, and come back to find factory racers(heroes of my childhood) and someone that headed up one of the magazines I spent most of my young life reading.

Hey Mike!
Guess who I just talked two? Your brother! Sam-the-Mustashe-man he is! What a cool dude! Now i'm on the lookout for a Bills pipe..I met him over at Alba in the Dyno room. He was testing out a SWEET rhino!
In the 5 minutes I spent talking to him, I learned an essay's worth of information. Can't wait to let him see what i've been coming up with!
Chat back bro.

Rest in peace Rex Carlson
Hello Mike,
Glad your on board here. I have read a lot of magazines as a younger kid but never saw and video of ATC racing. Do you know where one can view some racing action from back in your day.
Take care -Matt
Hello Mike,
Glad your on board and good to have tha chance to ask some questions. First - is there a way to get some old video of racing back in the day? I would love to watch some footage. Do you know a source ?
Check this out -my first ATC experience, convinced my dad to let me use my lawn mowing money to buy the neighbor kids (he had every toy) 1982 250R. After coming off my YZ 60 the 250R was absolutely awesome. I'm 36 now and can't let go of my fever for ATC's.
I now recall having dinner after that Baja 1000, with Coe, Sundahl and Driscoll somewhere in Cabo San Lucas. Coe was so out of it....... He didn't know what planet he was from.
my name is brett driscoll, i notice your from holland... i raced a yamaha at schkaveningen and rotterdam in 1985-86. i raced against alot of the factory honda USA riders. those stickers dont look familiar to me at all. they must be a european team. dean kirsten may have more info on the stickers. your picture reminds me of holland... the wet coblestone streets....
yes, the veronica beach race is at sckavenegin. i was invited to holland by veronicaTV {bob dejong} that race is crazy.. i hole shoted the first race that 3wheelers were allowed. they had us start with the side hack motorcycles. the side hack guys laughed at us, and didnt want us racing in their moto. they said we were slow and would get in their way. me sundahl and fox kicked their ass'. i think there was 300 entries in that single moto!
your 3W looks like some of the 3Wers that were in that race. the europeans do their stickers and #s different than the americans.
So what happened to Coe? Did Brett scare him off with the concussion story? He has not posted since December, whats up is he ok?

WOW!!! I'm 35, and grew up on 3-wheelers. Found & purchased an '85 250ES Big Red in LA. in Dec. of '05.
This site is great, and having Mike Coe....MAN...the memories!! I'm hoping to be lucky enought and acquire, preferably a 350X, but will take a 250R, to ride and race locally.
Look forward to hearing more stories Mike!!![]()
