-
Wards :-[
-
Howerton
-
Dave Thorpe....oops, Thorpe was on a Honda in '84. Let's go with Jeff Ward.
-
Ron Lechien?

-
Goat Breker ?
-
Holeshot Buddys' ?
-
That is Kent Howertons bike.
-
That is Kent Howertons bike.
Na he road a SUZUKI. maybe Ron Lechien ;)
-
Kent Howerton had factory rides for Husqvarna & Kawasaki , as well as Suzuki .
-
I think Howerton had retired from full time racing by then
-
I'm voting for the Flying Freckle (the american one) too by the way.
-
My guess is still Goat Breker . He finished third in the 1984 AMA 500 class on a factory Kawasaki . But while we are talking about goats , Holeshot may have to be renamed " Goat Molester Buddy " if he passes the new Montesa owners club initiation process.
-
The suspense is killing me!
-
George Jobe
-
Ron Lechien didn't ride kawasaki's until '86
Jeff Ward rode 125's in '84
Kent Howerton rode 250's in '84
Gotta be Goat Breker
-
Is it Dave Watson??
-
you guys crack me up ;D
one of you guessed it ::)
ill wait a bit longer ;)
-
Ken Smith
-
Bring on the goat if I can get me one of those '77 VB360 Cappras .
-

-

the bike is kent howertons he had two of them
he still owns one the other is
here in australia
he raced the bike in the usgp
very nice bike all hand made
worth more than a maico ;D
-
That is Kent Howertons bike.
See the authority in this reply? He knew...
-
Doh! I knew that I had seen that bike before . It is pictured on pages 136 & 137 of Ray Ryan's " Motocross Racers " book. Holeshot's description was inaccurate though because it is actually an '83 SR500, not an '84.
-
i knew that i was just trying you out ;D ;D ;D
-
No wonder you get "holeshots", you tell everyone to come a year late?? ;) ;D
-
hmmm, love a good quiz..anyone know who's ride this was? :-X

My Postman
-
nope! he rides one of those fast red bikes ;)
-
Rick Johnson ?
-
Good point Doc. The mail has to get through rain, hail and snow so it would be no good using a Yamaha.
-
no but that is oh so close! Rick reputedly had (correction - rode) another and it was all but the same ;)
Yup Magoo, Honda's do have that agricultural aura to them ;)
-
My next guess is Doug Dubach .
-
I think I'd better quit while I'm behind Doc. My guess is Mike Bell.
-
That's hard to say without numbers on it. Those Protec bikes were ridden by a few stars over the years, Rick Johnson the most notable.
-
no, no, no,
that is why I removed the number from the picture Maico31 ..a cunning stunt! :D I guess I could pay Rick Johnson as his was the same but not the bike in the photo ;)
The riders name has been mentioned in this thread but not in regard to this particular bike.
Sorry Magoo, was jus' kidding! I dun like those tuning forks either and I proudly own a Honda ;)
-
your a cruel and hard may Doc ;)
-
:o I am not cruel! :-\ I just don't tell the whole truths is all so at worst I'm only a liar :P 8)
I will tell you the bikes owner, Greg Bastek.
-
Ron Lechien?
-
Ummm I dunno but either his career took off when he got on a proper bike or it nose dived not long after he got on it.Am I close Doc? ;D
-
I know I got beaten to the punch but it's definitely Ron Lechien.
-
Yup, Pokey and Firko have it! The bike was ridden by Ron Lechien ;)
-
Another bit of Ron Lechien trivia . What motorcycle related company is Ron Lechien's father the president of ?
-
Maxima
-
Thats right & they make good oil too . Even smells nice . I have swapped over from Castrol to 927 Maxima in my bikes & I am going to run it in my Jetskis as well .
-
just for the smell of it! ;D
