Without stopping bis urgent work, he greeted us and went about exPIa1ning that he' bad just installed a SUZuki A-I00 engine with a racing kit in a TC 120Cc tube frame. He bubbled with enthusiasm as he exPlained ttiat the lOOcc bike bad a pressed steel frame and the TC 120 bas a tubular frame that handled better and is stronger so ,it stands less chance of fallure in the grueling 75 lap IOOcc Grand Prix. He went on to exPlain that bis youngest son, David, would be riding the Bultaco Lobito tflat Don rode last year. "Of course," he added, "the little guy w1Il get this bike when I feel he is ready for it." "You heard that Donnie won the production race at Willow Springs didn't you?" Without waiting for an answer, he motioned me to another section of the shop. "This is Don's baIfmiIemacbine" he said, pointing to a worn looking Suzuki tflat was more apart than together. "Don bas won six Novice Mains at Ascot on this bike including the opener," he boated. "I have to have it ready for tomorrow night!" Thus once again we tailed to get an interview about Floyd Emde because he can't be bothered talking about his own successes when he bas two racing sons. Floyd started an indian agency in National City with bis 1948 Daytona winnings. He now bas three stores in the San Diego area: one in National City, one in downtown San Diego and another on El Cajon Boulevard. He sells BSA, American Eagle, Sachs, Hodaka and Bultaco. In the National City and downtown locations he also sells Suzukis. His oldest son manages one agency, Don works at the National City store and Floyd holds forth downtown. Since 1913, when Floyd'S father opened an Indian agency in Imperial Valley, there' has always been an Emde in competition on the motorcycle iracks of the western United States. That includes Floyd and bis father Floyd's brothers, and hearing Floyd tell'about Don and David and their two wheel racers you somehowknowthat the family is a long way from being , through with racing.
