Winner Chuck Sun's Honda tipped the
scales at 224.lJ lb., a scant five ounces
over the 224 lb. limit. And surprisingly
enough, the Yamahas- - the works
bikes with the most "extra" equipment
hung on them - were among the
lightest. Andre Vromans' Yamaha

"So, some folks thought the word 7nazes were too easy,
eh. Okay, try these! (! hope they get headaches!)"
Gordon L. Banks
Who races in what?
Randy, Leroy, Frank and Bob are motorcycle racers. each enjoying a different specialty. Not necessarily in order, they each prefer
road racing. motocross, enduros or flat track. They also prefer
the colors red, blue, yellow or green, but again not necessarily in
that order.
1. The road racer beats Leroy in trials riding.
2. Frank and the enduro rider often rode trails with the ones who
had yellow and green bikes.
3. Randy and the flat-tracker both disliked the owner of the green
bikes.
4. The motocrosser rode a red Honda.
Who rode what color bike in what fonn of racing?
