Speaking of memories, and changing the subject just a little, tonight I hauled out of the basement hundreds of color slides I did of motocross events back in the 70's. The first box contained pics of my first trip to Red Bud in 1978. I got fantastic shots of Bob Hannah, Rich Eirdstadt (sp?) and all the other famous dudes from back then. What a trip! The neat thing about color slide film is that the colors don't fade, so these things look like they were shot yesterday! I'm thinking of digitizing some of these and posting 'em on DRN, as well as making some photo's with my digital gear.
What is interesting besides the cool old bikes is the transport vehicles in '78 compared to today. Bob Hannah basically worked out of a box van. In one picture, he's helping his mechanic on his "regular" bike, while next to that is a bike they've obviously canibalized for parts. Today, Bob would have at least one huge semi rig and certainly wouldn't dirty his hands by working on his own bike!
