BSmith, could you shed some light on that YZ980? It's quite the machine.
How well did that dual rear tire bike work?
These guys are all about innovation.
Thanks again for the pics.

Nice photo of Jim True and his wife at De Anza, probably before I was born. I recognize the realestate in the background. :wink: Great hills back in the day. :D
