    Bike/Boot Wash?

    Simple green diluted with water half and half. After rinsing, dry bike off. Spray everything with tire foam, plastic, engine, tires, everything. Let it sit for about ten minutes and take the damp towel and lightly wipe off the runs from the tire foam. Looks better than new. Mike Hawkins

    O.I.R history remembered

    Frank Jackson-Portage Cycle. That's who I was thinking of. I remember OIR having a jump contest during the 250 moto. They used the uphill jump, had a guy with a pole for a marker standing up on top off to the side. He would keep moving back and marking the landing spots. I don't remember what...

    O.I.R history remembered

    I raced my first race there on a hodaka 100, sometime in 1971. Raced there through 1977. That was one of the longer tracks back then, 20 minutes motos x 2. Trying to remember the guy that ran the bike shop up on rt. 5 back then. Think it might have been Frank Jackson, maybe. Can picture him, but...

    How to: Ride.

    I just went out in the shop after watching this and burned all my bikes. My feet were sweating after watching that. Loved the outside lines he was taking. I kept waiting for him to clip a tire. Good video.

    Ready for a Dust-Free '79 Season?

    That was it. 422, Parkman, Ohio. I drive by now and then and always want to take a ride with my jeep inside to see what's still there. After they stopped racing there, the name changed slightly and they used to hold music concerts there. Mike Hawkins

    New vs Old

    Interesting thread. I started racing in the very early 70's on a hodaka of course. First race was at OIR, back when they had loamy dirt, 20 minute plus a lap motos, and big turnouts. I consider myself lucky to race back then during the golden age of motocross. With the suspension changing every...

    Ready for a Dust-Free '79 Season?

    I raced both of those tracks back then. I don't remember the irrigation system at Buckeye. I just remember it as one of the dustiest tracks we raced. Norwalk was a pretty flat track with some man made jumps. Only raced there once because nobody else was running races that day. The six classes...

    Thoughts and prayers for Joe Rice #23

    Joe, Keep your head up. Good luck with your surgery tuesday. I don't know you but have been reading this thread. Sorry for your accident. I used to race many years ago, still ride now. I'm probably old enough to by your dad. My son's a nursing student. He is doing clinical rotations at Akron...

    Open riding woods and mx track-7 days a week

    My buddy and I stopped out last week. We had a great time. The track is very vet friendly. My buddy was riding a 78 husky 250 with pretty weak brakes. He was fine on the track but had some trouble on the trails. Couldn't go down some of the steep rocky downhills with no brakes. He is also...
