After the Race- article DIGITAL copy 1971

 When I started racing desert on a regular basis, I developed friendships with guys I raced with, some which last to this very day. And back then, there was a fierce brand loyalty that you just do not see today. Oddly enough, this old column was very, very prophetic, in that I felt that ours might be the last generation to be able to ride on open public land. Anyway, for those of you too young to race back then, this was the way it was at those rest stops before and after the races. Hell, it almost makes me want to drive to a Denny's and strike up a conversation with anybody with a motorcycle t-shirt.
