1971 Suzuki TS185 at Perris Raceway

Another picture from Perris Raceway. The 175cc kit that Suzuki made for these really woke them up!! I did a lot of modifying to the motor. Played around with different ignition boxes and later added a 34mm carb. The leathers were purchased from Bill Buchka who worked at U.S. Suzuki with me at the time. Racing Specialties, the name on the front of the jacket, was a business Ron Grant (Suzuki Factory Roadracer) started and ran out of his home in Brisbane California. They were a bit short for me, but fit the need at the time.

This is one of my favorite shots that Manuel Burton took ( www.faphoto.com/index.html ).
