ISM _
Qualifier.
It all started the weekend of
March 27th"and 28th at the
Shamrock Motorcycle Club's twoday ISDT Qualifier at Cal City.
Larry Langley rode his virtually
stock-except for shocks and ex-
haust -MR-250 through the rugged
-350 -mile torture test to capture a
gold medal in the 250 class. To
give you an idea how tough it was,
there were only 84 finishers out
of all toe 300 starters! The MR·250
handled the race the way you'd
expect a Honda to handle it-no
complaints, just performance.
Langley then took the bike
home for a week of R & R.
Changed the air filter and spark
and sent it back into action
the next weekend with his riding
partner, Terry Swets.
First i Class:
Tecate 500.
The event was the Tecate 500just a 420-mile weekend's ride
through some of Baja's scenic
countryside. Especially scenic if
you like rocks, sand and brokendown motorcycles.
By now,the MR·250 was getting
warmed up. After the dust cleared
on Sunday, Swets and the reliable
MR rode away with #1 in its class.
Now, the MR-250 looks like
any person would look after two
rough weekends and 870 miles
of constant beating, but it still
runs beautifully and has some
nice decorations to show for its
endurance. And that's what it's
all about - endurance.
The MR-250 is at your Honda
dealer's now. It's the two-stroke
built with the same dependability
that has made the Honda fourstroke famous . Take it out this
weekend for a ride.
:H:ON"DA.
F' I'St. For good reason.
