The big K.R.



YUVON DUHAMEL AT INDY RACEWAY. What kind of Kawasaki machine is he riding?



And then Gene Romero and Dick Mann



Give a big thanks to some of our fore fathers

Thats pretty funny, this web site won't let me write "D*ICK" Mann.  ???

[Super Dave]

Yvon is on the Kawasaki H1R that he rode for Bob Hansen.

Ooo, and I raced against the BSA that Mann is on in 1997.  If that picture is from Daytona 1971.

Duhammel is on a buell and it's leaking oil!  See, he's looking down to check the level!

What's Gene Ramaro riding?

That would be Romero and it appears to be a Yamaha TZ750.

Oh, no, it was better yet.

Kawasaki made the H1R so trick on year that they made the engine cases out of magnesium.

The cases started on fire with him aboard at like 170.  He had to bail off because the heat of the magnesium fire...well, you get it...

[Super Dave]

That would be Romero and it appears to be a Yamaha TZ750.

I agree, but it might be a TZ700, as it has low pipes.

Do you think he's looking though his corner enough Dave?

[Super Dave]

Romero was a dirt tracker.  Probably doing it right.  By the banking, it looks like the old Loudon.  Maybe not...

Here's a few of Steady Eddie Lawson  :) It just amazes the he*ll out of me how far we have come with Technology in the past 20 years. Vintage motorcycle racing is very interesting.
