Moabiker's Tall Tales

Do a google search on this gentleman. Bill Baird enduro rider.
He's from the town I grew up in. Never raced with him or saw him race. Meet him many times. I did watch him ride a Honda road bike across a plowed corn field once. Smooth as silk.

Yes Mark was a hot shoe. I remember when he started. But I was always a Bob Hannah fan.
 
I have been enjoying your pictures and envy the weather. If you don't mind could you send me a link on your seat? I am interested in getting a loop on the back with that style of leather/vinyl seat. Cheers

...think XS650 leaving my place today, along with 1976 and 1980 honda 750's...
 
...but it doesn't seem right to keep posting, especially after 650 gone...
