So the blue truck in the picture belonged to my best friend in HS. A '74 Toyota Hi Lux, had some upgrades to exhaust and a couple other items. Was very nice compared to my '77 orange Datsun King Cab...LOL. I had white spoke rims that were horribly unbalanced. We used to race after school in a vacant lot by Tuckers Grove in Goleta. Once I got all the emissions stuff removed from the Datsun I got a bit more competitive LOL. Max HP for either truck was around 80.
Here is my buddy Dale helping me unload the KDX, site is just North of Carpenteria CA, now shut down, but still there.
Dale rode a new to market XR 350, we rode enduro events in the SoCal desert, his bike made hill climbs a walk in the park. Pro link suspension I believe is what it sported. The 4 stroke mill was far better than my 175cc 2 stroke.
Here I am in my driveway after picking up the KDX used from a guy who was a Kawasaki salesman in Goleta store. Looking at my shirt I guess I was aiming for a MD assistant, checkout the fragmented facial hair under my nose...LOL. Great days to be alive!!
