[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1311833, member: 17212"] I always wondered how they made ice cream. :whoa: The lawn mower repair shop was a joke in reference to Carlo the Latin lawn boy. I actually own a small aftermarket motorcycle and metal fabrication business. We do racing engines on modern four-strokes, custom metal fabrication and product development and complete ground-up restorations on British motorcycles. The name of my company is Alloy Graphics. Not a graphics arts company. Means 'Artistry in aluminum.' I raced sportsman scrambles in Southern California's AMA District 37 from about 1964 to when I turned pro in the late 60's. In the sportsman events I rode a Triumph 650cc twin, a BSA 250 single and various other bikes along the way. As a pro novice, I rode a BSA 250 single that belonged to a guy named Kenny Noggle. It was the same bike that David Aldana rode as a novice. Although, I didn't go as fast on it as David did. Also rode 250cc Hondas and a DT1 Yamaha and road raced a Yamaha TD1C, 250cc twin. Raced class C flat track, short track, TT's and road raced. As an expert I rode a Triumph 750cc twin in a Trackmaster frame. Also had a Yamaha 750 Twin in a Champion frame and a Triumph/BSA 750cc triple that I road raced. Was sponsored by Bill Krause Sportcycles in Inglewood Ca. and had a partial factory sponsorship through Triumph. Mostly a back-door deal. All the parts I could eat. ;) Retired from class C in the late 80's. Still do an occasional grand prix but, mostly just try to keep up with my grandson on the local mx tracks and trail ride. My avatar photo is one of those 8X10 glossies taken at a class C national at the San Jose mile. Clay was Clay Miller. I say was, because Clay is no longer with us. He passed away several years ago due to health issues. He was a good friend a great guy and a very fast desert racer. Clay actually did work for the movie studios. Ike is Ike Mizen. He is a life-long friend that I met in the mid 60's. We have been friends ever since I stopped in the middle of a race at a track in Perris California to pick his motorcycle off of him after he crashed. We raced District 37 together and traveled together on the AMA pro circuit. He was a commercial artist and was the one that came up with the name for my company. He also raced sports cars along with motorcycles and after retiring from motorcycles he raced sprint cars. He is now retired and living in Willow Springs Mo. He was also involved with the movie industry. One of the nicest people you will ever meet. Just talked to him last week. The only trading card I have is a Visa. They let me trade it for all kinds of goodies. Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. :fft: [/QUOTE]
