April 13, 1969 Suzuki TS250 at Adelanto Raceway<\/h1>\n

April 13, 1969 – I was still working at Dale Brown Motors in Long Beach Callifornia when I bought my first 250. I put it in the back of my ’69 Ford Econoline and headed for Adelanto after I got off work on a Saturday afternoon. My buddy Jerry drove the van while I was pulling lights and other street stuff off. I didn’t have anything to block off the tach and speedo drives, so I left them on the bike. The “Universal Trials” tires didn’t work too awful bad, but it was a stock motor, so traction wasn’t really an issue… ‘cept in the corners!! This is how the bike got it’s “Break In”… Ride it like you stole it!!<\/p>\n
