Title: Motocross Jersey for the cashed up.
Post by: firko on August 08, 2013, 01:58:41 pm

   Back in the sixties and seventies Webco was the coolest of cool aftermarket motorcycle gizmo manufacturer. They're most famous in VMX circles for their two stroke heads and myriad of Triumph accessories but they were pretty diverse, making crash helmets, leathers and BMX bikes plus very cool plastic and mag BMX wheels which today get huge money with BMX collectors. They even delved into Hollywood, producing  the"Little Fauss and Big Halsy" movie starring Robert Redford. The motorcycle accessory side of the business shut down in 1976 when the original partners split but the BMX side continued until well into the 90's. Both Alan Jones and myself collect Webco accessories and we often try and outdo each other with the most obscure item. With me it's the uber cool magnesium petrol cap on my Maico that's the only one I've ever seen. As cool as I think Webco is, there's no way I'd pay $300 for a bloody motocross jersey ::).

The WEBCO sweatshirt might be worth it.  ;D
