He has a willingness to put time in for practice (three times a week). and plans ahead by checking the starting area, making sure of the right gearing for a particular course. keeping himself in proper condition, and many other small items that the average rider leaves to chance. His bike. too, receives the care due a winner. and is expertly tuned by Tracy's of Burbank. A rider such as Roberts must acquire a working knowledge of speed in the desert to be in the correct gear and the right rpm at all times. He must read the trail a hundred feet ahead to be ready when approaching a dip or turn, because when you're going fast, it's too late to worry TTR , t 't '" DESERT COIPfTlTlOII : COMBINA 1I0N! about the rock five feet in front of you. Fast Expert Roberts was born in Indiana. is married. has one child, and works as a carpenter for Universal Studios. He started riding in the desert in April of 1965 on a 250 Honda. then changed to a 350 Honda in January of 1966. He was made Amateur in April 1966 and Expert in October of the same year. the 350 class almost each time he finished. Plans are now being made for Roberts to enter into a contract with the Husqvarna factory in 1968. He will be the first factory sponsored American to compete in the World Championship 500cc class in Europe. If all goes well. he will leave in February of 1968 to practice for the first round which will begin in March of the same year. The tentative plan is to add a few more young riders to this American team. They will be taken under the wing of world champion, Torsten Hallman, who will school them in the Motocross riding. J.N. Roberts, our local champ, is most qualified to represent our Southern California riders and hopefully all details will be worked out so that we will have a top notch team in Europe.
