WHEN I WAS YOUNG, AROUND 15, THE REAL "SHOES" RODE 250 BULTACOS. SHORT TRACK WAS BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR AND WAS IT SOMETHING TO WATCH THE CLASS 'C' PROS RIDE! I KNEW I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD A 250 BACK THEN, AND WHEN I COULD, THEY WERE NOT AROUND. CHECK OUT THESE BEAUTIES, BEING SOLD BY TOM HORTON IN PALMDALE, CALIFORNIA, PRICES LOW ENOUGH TO MAKE ME THINK TOO HARD!
THE DROOLING STARTS HERE...

I WATCHED KENNY ROBERTS WHEN HE JUST TURNED PRO, HE WAS KILLER... JUST LOOK AT THIS GUY... ALL CROSSED-UP, FRONT END OFF THE GROUND. THIS IS A FLATTRACK RACE, NO HILLS, BUMPS OR JUMPS!
IN THE EARLY AND MID 60'S HALF MILE MACHINES WERE A THOUSAND TIMES MORE EXCITING TO WATCH THAN THE BIKES OF TODAY.
AN EARLY TRIUMPH 500
