We featured several products that we
evaluated over the past several months,
such as shocks, helmets, kidney belts and
skid plates in Cycle News issue number
13 50 years ago. And we also showed our
readers a whole bunch of new products...
We had race coverage of the first 500cc International
Motocross of the year, which took place in St. Anthonis, Holland.
Finland's Kalevi Vehkonen on a Husqvarna took the win, with
American riders Brad Lackey taking second and Jim Pomeroy
fourth... We tested the new Maico 440 Magnum motocrosser.
Eddie Lawson was pictured on the front page
40 years ago after beating Freddie Spencer
at the South African Grand Prix... We took a
close-up look at the new Honda 1100 Shadow...
Bubba Shobert won the Ascot TT after leader
Alex Jorgensen fell on the last lap, giving Shobert his first
career victory in TT... The great desert racing duo of Dan
Smith and Dan Ashcraft won the Great Mohave 250... Ron
Lechien, Jeƒ Ward and Broc Glover were all winners at the
Hangtown MX National... We interviewed 1982 250cc MX
World Champion Danny LaPorte.
