Found these old magazine bike test pics from the 70's and early 80's. It took me a while to post all these
and put as many as I could side-by-side to save space......
.I tried to put them in the Bitchin Photos Only section, but for some reason they didnt go there.......Enjoy !!!
Nice, really gives me a nostalgic feeling. And I noticed something, there is one thing 95 percent of those pics have in common. It's that Bell helmets ruled motocross, that's why I still buy them now.
I think at one time I had that mag with the RM vs CR 250 shootout. They said RM was better so I went with that.
Yeah photographors today, I keep telling to zoom out. There always cutting off your head or wheel. The whites of your eyes is fine once and a while but sheeeee's.

Purity of what it once was. I saw some of the rebuildable Scott boots and some Hi-Points too in those shots.

Great photos and I can say I remember many from the original magazines. I have a pair of NIB Scott boots in my garage that are too pristine and rare to wear. This is the 1979 Elsinore I should be racing...
Those pictures are great, reminds me of the pictures I have seen in old dirt bike magazines. My uncle John Desoto was in quite a few, not sure if you all know who he is. I believe he was inducted into the motorcycle hall of fame in the past 10 years or so, maybe a liitle longer than that. Anyway, great pics...

I met his dad when I worked at honda along time ago. Hell of a nice guy.
