MEMORIES OF THE WAY WE WERE: LEATHER BOOTS
Anyone who was anyone in the early days of motocross wore Hi-Point Champion boots. In a later incarnation they were known as Alpinestars Super Victory boots — and Alpinestars still offers them. No one wears leather boots today. Oops, we forget to look at the two oldest members of the MXA wrecking crew — because both of them still wear leather boots today. Why? Lars likes the flexy feel and Jody prefers thew ultra light weight.
Most modern riders are used to five-pound, plastic-clad, hinged boots. They would be a afraid to wear all-leather boots from the 1970s. However, these two guys aren’t. Why not? Because they are from the ’70s. Lars Larsson (60) wears black Super Victorys, while Jody Weisel (192) wears white ones.
WANT TO OWN A NEW YAMAHAULER? WELL, NEW GRAPHICS ANYWAY
Justin Barcia needs one of these.
North American Muscle Cars’ “Yamahauler” decal kit is based on the original van introduced to the public as the grand prize in a raffle back in the early 1970’s. Yuu have to provide the shorty van, but the kit includes the Yamahauler logos, racing stripes, strobe decals and squeegee for $550.00 at www.ebay.com/itm/291247110405.
HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO MXA AND MAKE MONEY
Interested in getting a new 2017 bike this year? The October 2016 issue of MXA will be on the news stands soon and has test of four 2017s and two-stroke projects on the YZ125 and Suzuki RM250. Plus, if you subscribe now you get a $25 gift certificate from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC which more than pays for your subscription.
Do you subscribe to MXA? You should. We know that you think that print magazines are dead and that the internet will fill the void, but most of the stuff in the current issue of MXA won’t appear on the web for several months, if at all. Luckily, you can get all of MXA on your iPhone, iPad, Kindle or Android by going to the Apple Store, Amazon or Google Play. Better yet get the Digital desktop version at https://hi-torque.com/product/motocross-action-digital-edition/ for $9.99 a year. The MXA test riders prefer the print version and not just because it is delivered by a uniformed employee of the U.S. Government, but because for only $19.99 you get 12 issues and a free $25 Gift Card from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. That means that there is a profit to be made in this deal for you. For the Print magazine go to: http://hi-torque.com/product/subscribe-to-motocross-action-magazine/
