For those interested, this is hopefully going to print in a couple of weeks time and should be available soon after. In brief, its 144 Pages of insights and pictures from the era 1978 - 1986. Many of the pictures have never been seen and are from the personal archives of the riders covered in this volume. I spent some time on the road in the states last year as part of a mini film crew recording footage for a DVD we hope to release. I also interviewed everybody featured in different parts of the country to get some new information.

Dominguez haul of old photo's and slides..

Riders- Bob Morales, Eddie Fiola, Ron Wilton, Rich Sigur, Craig Campbell, Mike Dominguez, Tony Murray, Marc McGlynn, Ron Wilkerson, Brian Blyther, Dave Nourie, Terry Jenkins and of course Dennis McCoy. Rick M and Joe Johnson both joined at the end of the period and will be covered in detail in the second volume (if that happens) which covers 1987 - 1991.

Christian, the current situation is that I have around ten hours of interview footage shot and sat on my Mac. I have interviewed everybody that is featured in the book minus the two English guys Craig and Terry. I have good dialogue with both (I met Terry at Interbike last year) and I expect that to happen at some point. The challenge is to move the first book through, start the second in the foreseeable future which allows the opportunity to interview the later 80's guys (Rick, Joe J, Joe G etc) on camera  (all fully supportive and ready to roll). I predict this will all happen in the first six months of this year as Haro are able to move it forward. They are keen to have a series of books telling there story up to present day but that wont happen overnight.


Thanks for all of the support in this thread. Ill keep you updated.
