Back when a YZ was yellow and not blue. Him and Bob Hannah were a pair.

I was given this pic ( I have on my wall ) in 1984 from a couple of racers in a box van . It was in a grocery store parking lot late one night in Clarksville Tennessee . They had parked next to me and my 67 LeMans . I was a 17 yr old punk from Cali . They complimented my car and I chin wagged with them a bit and told them I was a fan of Yamaha . They handed me this photo then drove off . Never got their names

That's exactly what I was thinking about the yellow YZ of that era. The Suzukis were the same color but it was easy to tell them apart if you knew motocross bikes.

I don't remember this guy for some reason but I do remember Hannah.

I remember. Seems he wouldn't be that old...but I guess that was a long time ago. Doug Dubach is still around anyhow.
