Legends Honored at 81st
Trailblazers Banquet
T
he 81st annual Trailblazers
banquet took place at the Car-
son Center in Southern California
on Saturday, March 14, and was
another sold-out event.
The banquet began with the tra-
ditional bike show. As usual, there
were several flawless bikes, from
street to motocross to flat track. In
the courtyard where the bikes were
displayed, racers, riders and enthu-
siasts mingled, some reminiscing
about how fast they were "back
then." Afterward, the large crowd
slowly moved into the conference
room to find their seats and enjoy
the catered dinner and ceremony.
