Chicks love guys that ride trikes
.
Well today I scored a complete rear suspension for an 85 Tecate which is an extremely rare setup. This is the upgrade I used on the production 85's to fix the severe bottoming problem the 84 Tecate's had. I also bought another 85 rocker and dog bone today so I now probably have the single biggest collection of 85 rear suspension parts in the universe.
The shock on the top is a stock 84.

I bet that brings you back to 1985.... Barnett was Kawasaki's main man, plug chopping like a mofo..... itching to holeshot Dunlop & roostn everyone at every turn!
What are your plans for this one? Trikefest Drags 2018?
I beat donelop to the first turn on more than one occasion on my Tecate with basically stock a chassis and stock suspension with worn used tires that jimmy white gave me in san diego at the stadium race, and believe me it wasn't difficult, nor did his name ever even enter my mind. From the races I have seen him in on youtube, the only time he got a holeshot was when he left before the flag was thrown (as can be seen in the two races below) which I suppose is one way to get to the first corner before everyone else.
Number 19 in the 1983 Santa Cruz race at the 1 second mark. I didn't even see him in the video after the second start because the cameras typically focus on the fast riders whom are up front.

Number 19 in the 1985 Miama race at the 48 minute mark where he finished a commendable 38 seconds behind the leaders in a short 10 minute race.

Just got back from Gulf Shores. The USS Alabama museum was very cool.
