Pics are from early on 72-74.  JP's dad was a British transplant living in So-Cal.  he raced motorcycle sidecars and ran a shop called "Motorcycles Unlimited"
The hacks handled great with a good monkey.  Doug Takahashi was simply the best
In the early days, civilians used to drop by the races, watch the sidehacks race and leave afterwards.

Phwoah, did I spot a pair of braces in there?! I remember A'ME used to make them. Must track down a set for wearing underneath the suit to the office. Thanks for the pix, what a bunch of loonies.
