I forwarded this to Al Jesse. The guy with the full Beard.
He worked here in Monterey for a few years and now makes Jesse Luggage in AZ.
Here is his reply:
Holy Shit!!

Keep it on 2 wheels!
Too funny!
Going through the boxes at the time I started this thread I know I found some pics of your old CX Turbo and Pantah, and interestingly found a pic or two of the day Briggs' Hailwood Replica was uncrated. (I hope I can find them again....)
Don't know who the guy on the pickup truck is, but the guy on the back of the box van is Terry Yarger. He's the one who actually made the Vetter Mystery Ship fairing mold...according to him.Free pair of earplugs for the first correct guess of who the guy sitting on the truck tail (behind those guys) is!
No he was racing Ducati Superbikes the year Gardner wore the #1 plate.Oh, yeah #5 is former FIM 500cc World Champion Marco Lucinelli (spelling?), I think he was the 82' Champ?
John Bettencourt....
