This pic is from 1974. It's a little Elsinore 125 I bought used. It was loud, obnoxious, and ran like a scalded dog. I thought it was great. That's my Mom's 1964 Ford Fairlane in the background.
This is my brother, jumping my red Honda SL-70 at the nearby public school campus. I threw paper routes on my bicycle to pay for it in 1972. Sold it to him when I bought a CR125. This picture doesn't show it, but at one point I welded plates on the swingarm to move the lower shock mounts forward. Long Travel! Yeah!
Another shot of the CR125. I never raced this bike, as I wasn't old enough to drive and my parents weren't into taking their kid to the races.
HONDA/FOX RED RIDERS 2000 TEAM
From the beginning, the history of modern American motocross has been written in Honda red. Measured over the final two decades of the 20th century, no team has so thoroughly dominated the sport.
The story started in 1974 when Honda's Marty Smith won the American Motorcyclist Association's first 125 National Championship on a CR125. In 1981, Honda-powered Trophee des Nations and Motocross des Nations teams established Honda and America as the international motocross superpower by beating an international field of world-class riders.
Beginning in 1982, Team Honda won at least one AMA Pro motocross title every year for 15 straight years. That includes winning the triple crown (three titles in a single year) seven separate times. For an encore Team Honda nailed down the ultimate achievement in 1986 by making a clean sweep of all four AMA Pro titles: 250 Supercross, plus the 125, 250 and 500 outdoor National series crowns. In 1991, Team Honda rider Jean-Michel Bayle pulled the ultimate motocross hat trick, winning the 250 Supercross, 250 National and 500 National Motocross Championships. All told, Honda has won almost three-quarters of the AMA Pro motocross titles over the last 18 years--40 of the last 66 AMA motocross championships.
In 1999, Red Riders ruled the first round of Supercross' 25th season, finishing 1-2-3-4. They took home seven of the season's 16 Supercross main events and a total of 25 podium finishes, saturating the final Supercross championship point standings by nailing down three of the top-five slots. This year Team Honda has all the tools to do better than that.
Armed with new-from-the-knobbies-up Honda CR250R race bikes--the only bike in the field with an advanced aluminum frame--the three-man team of Georgian Ezra Lusk, Mississippi's Kevin Windham and double FIM Grand Prix motocross World Champion Sebastien Tortelli of France are ready to leave a trail of Honda red across motocross and Supercross victory podiums from Anaheim, California, to Unadilla, New York.

As you can see, I also thought I was Marty Smith. Eventually, I completely disassembled the bike and gave it a Factory Honda Red paint job.
Bought a new CR125 Elsinore when this came out. Paid $600 for it at Long Beach Honda. I love this bike & was addicted to dirtbikes ever since.

Ashley SMASH!!
Today had lots of fail and some win.
Woken up by a call from a guy interested in my CR250 dirt bike who says he is on his way and will be at the house in an hour. Oh crap. Ian hadn't gotten around to getting the front sprocket bolt in because the bike was missing the sprocket washer and the blown rear shock hadn't been changed out for the fresh one because Ian has been so busy with work lately. I technically wasn't supposed to be working on stuff like with my back surgery because of the extended time of bending over. Ian stole a washer off an older CR125 we have and torqued the sprocket on, no time to swap rear shocks so when the guy arrived we told the him why the bike came with an extra shock. Well, turns out the first guy wasted our time because he was more interested in a 2006 he was driving to Dallas for, but wanted to check out our 2001 anyway. Thanks a-hole, wasted an hour of our time for nothing.
Then after lunch we went to look at 3 more houses since the one we were going to buy fell though. One was newer and nice, the other was way too old and big, and the last one was nasty and old. Decided to make an offer on the first house, but turns out it already has TWO contracts on it. Yeah. Good luck with that. So three more hours of our time wasted.
After we got home from the houses two different people needed vinyl jobs quoted. Big jobs, time for some win. That took a lot of time to quote and proof since one business was a brand new customer wanting a bulk rush job. Why does everyone need something immediately?? Around the same time another person contacted me to come look at the CR250 around 5pm. Ian had to get back to work at his day job so looked like back or not I was swapping the rear shock out on the bike.
Took the back half of the bike apart and swapped shocks and as I was putting it together the guy calls and says he will be over in about 40 minutes. Spent about 20 minutes buttoning up the shock swap, then went to start the bike to make sure all was good. Well, it wasn't. The damn thing ran out of gas and I had no premium mixed gas anywhere. Grabbed the gas can and headed down to the local gas station for some premium, brought it back and mixed the 2 stroke oil, then filled 'er up and got it started. The people showed up about 10 minutes later. Fortunately they loved the bike and left a wad of 100's with us and took 'er home. One more thing out of my life and will help with a house down payment.
As far as the shot:
Canon 30D
Kit lens
1600 ISO maxed
Ambient light since that's all I have
...yeah, so I have a badass 5D Mk II and no lens smaller than the 100-400mm to put on it. My lens selection is severely lacking with the big monster and a $30 kit lens that has so many scratches it isn't funny.
