Honda Xr 75 - 4 banger thump

Michael Brindley, age 12-13 yrs, 1973 or so (this is my early beginner outfit)
2 first place wins advance to novice
3 first place wins advance to intemediate
3 first place wins advance to expert
I was one win away from advancing to an expert before the family moved to Belgium
I got to watch Jeff Ward race in the expert level back in those days
all during my European stay people foreigners would ask if I surfed....always everytime
Parents divorce in belgium brought me back home at 17 with no moto
So I dedicated myself to becoming a real californian who surfed.........
this photo to me is a turning point in time from becoming a die hard motocrosser to becoming a die hard surfer
A time of adolescence, aerosmith, hippies, lime sherbert ice cream and pure magic..............
