I knew Doug would come through with some awesome pics as always. I think I might have one pic of me on my 200s in 1987 but no others that I can think of. Looking back I wish I had thought of a camera as part of the riding gear,

Awesome picks. Love seeing these old pics and cant help but wonder how many of those machine are still running! Anyone got any cool videos of old school racing, I saw the ones the other day but theres gotta be more out there. Love the red tecate dcreel, you still got that baby?

Yep, it's now green with a disc brake front end.

What was the deal with the red tecates?? Just the plastic or was there something else that they did performance wise? I am curious because someone told me they are worth more.

They made more red than green Tecate's in 84. In 85 it was a flip flop there were more green than red. To me a red 85 is worth more than a red 84. A red 84 I wouldn't consider rare.
