Here's the late Jay Ridgeway walkin the dog on his Kennedy Triumph at Louisville in 1977. At 16 years old Jay was Cycle News Rider of the Year. He rode a Kawasaki 350 Bighorn by Woody Kyle. Jay, along with Ed Sally and Roger Crump were among only a handfull of riders from the south to make a showing on the pro tour. He died at the big mile track in DuQuion,Ill. in 1977 with the throttle to the stops.
Good guys wear orange and black.
Here is Gary Scott strutting his stuff on an American made HD 350 Sprint. Gary Scott was the man man who knocked the the wind out of Kenny Robert's dirttrack effort. This guy may very well be the ultimate American Hotshoe. This was the beginning of Yamaha's domination of American racing. Probably 1972 at Ascot Park.
