Ultimate solu tion 100,000 critics This letter is in response to a query from one of your readers, Voices of the West, February 4, 1975, co ncerning the availability of sufficient supp ort for bulky b osomed . bikers. You r reply, "An other job for duct tape?" How tac ky (p u n in tended). besides unimaginative and uncouth. We o f l.M . Ho rn ee and Associates have d evised t he ul t im at e solution. The enclo sed pict u res illustrate the engineeri ng prototype of our soon to be marketed "Universal Tit Pootsie." It fits all sizes fro m 38EE to 55D without adjustment. There are two points I'd like to bring out. One is the superior materials, expansion chamber steel which is galvanized to prevent those unsightly rust spots, and the other is that it can also be used to prevent bruises from those handy MXers. The cost of the Universal model will be $ 75 , cheap at half the price. Also available is the "Custom Deluxe Tit Pootsie " which is hand fitted and tailored. Although some girls have un surmountable problems it is priced at only 5 15.9 5 which includes five to 10 fitting sessions. Cycle News are you out o f your minds? An all-sex issue?

The Red Garter Enduro is fill ed to capacity, A 500 limit with no elasticity. The date to close was noted March Nine, And alas we hav e filled each and every line. A preference was given to A 's and to B 's, Because National points are acquired by these. A sad thing it is to return your blanks, But it is don e with heartiest thanks. We wish we had room for on e and for all, But indeed we do n ot and no use to call. D.D.M.C. Inglewood, Calif. DIS GU STED Long Beach, Calif. You are obviously a phony letter because you were sent before this issue came out. Besides, Playboy started it, by showing pictures of bikes . . . Head Ed. No excuse That 's no excuse. BROKE, BUSTED Signal Hill, Calif. So. another one, eh ? We always have the last word, you know. We can tie you to the light table, stuff a shop towel in y our throat and split your lower end if y ou're not careful. But that would be wrong . .. Ed. Dear Sirs, Recently, you did a road test on my sister. I'm gonna get you SOBs. KILLER My dog 's better than your dog Thanks for the note . First Comparison Test? Granted. First Knievel story? Granted. Staff size? Hard to say . A look at you r masthead shows C. Clayton, Editor, Lane Campbell, Assistant Editor, Bobi Scott, Sec retary and Calendar. The rest are what I construe to be support p eop le accounting, ci rculation, lab technician, typographer, etc. If you co nside r the support people that don't get on Cycle's masthead, those throbbing mi nions back in NYC laboring over hot expense ac counts, typesetting bills, inventories, promotion ideas, etc., then Cycle's staff numbers - As you probably know, this year's Hangtown Clas si c N ation al championship motocross will be held in the sleepy little town of Plymouth, California on April 5·6, 1975. This year will be the six th year in succession that the people of Plymouth , an d Amador County have welcomed the Dirt Diggers North and their race fans, but . . . we may all be under surveilance by law .enforcement agencies this time as a result of a couple of motorcycles lost to thieves last year. The Man will be checking all of us - all rip-off artists should stay home! The camping gates will close at 11 p.m. on Saturday so club members can get some sleep for the next day 's work. We hope everyone enoys the races and camping, and may all your camp fires be little ones (last year so me asshole burnt a large bam down !). DIRT DIGGERS NORTH M.C. Or an gevale , Calif. Numbers game I have been riding enduros for the past three years. (D-37 , . B ride r ). What does it take to get a decent riding number? (Other than your name ending with Ekins, Evans, etc.) The drawings for riding positions are really a jo ke . The same fa miliar names keep cropping up in front. I always find myself somewhere in the last 20 or 30 numbers. Maybe I should change my name to Ron and enter as an A rider. FRANK BOHN South Gate , Calif. It 's worth a try, Frank. just think, what if your last name w ere Schneiders ? . . '. Editor Cow power! Thought you 'd be interested in this article I clipped from "Happy Landings" (a paper fo r p ilots): .. . Cows have sweat glands on their noses. To keep cool, a cow faces the wind and turns away when she wants to keep warm. When all else fails, lo o k at the wind sock. Cows, by the way, are probably the number one source of ai r pollution in the U.S. According to the EPA, co ws burp 50 m illion to ns o f hydrocarbons into the atmosphere yearly . At that . rate, it wo ul d o nly take 10 cows to supply enough energy to heat a small house. Good to know, right? G. E.NEWTON Mom's Fast Action Racing Team
