weird....those bikes seem to have two differnt tails, even though they do seem like the same bike elsewhere.....maybe one is a factory and one a privateer?.....but they seem like team mates with the leathers and sponsors?

awesome pics, jdZX9 and everyone else

this has to be the best thread of all time for what we're here for!!!

Thanks Budman!

I received a note that Kenny Roberts has seen them & loved them!

... and still, all I can think is "WOW" as if I was that 16 year old kid that took those pics.

What did a yellow plate mean back then? Now it means Novice in club racing of course. I don't get it :confused

I think the 500's had the yellow backing & the 250's had green, and if you were a rookie they had a letter that they added to it.

Here's a few more pics....

The KR500 stripped... guess Kawi wasn't as protective of their stuff as Honda, Suzuki, & Yamaha....

In 1980, before the billboards went up you could park & watch the race from the outside of Turn 11 (back then it was Turn 9)
