Saw your son at washougal in 83 or 84 ,,he won that day ,,,I believe he won the title that year also!! Those days were so awesome,,box vans ,,pit tootsies ,,me and my friend snuck into the pits at that race and you could literally walk right up to their box vans and bikes, and talk to the riders!!! I met your son ,,,Hannah,,Barnett,ward, Chandler,Glover lechien,Johnson ,dymond, just to name a few !!! I got gobs of stickers and my friend got Barnett's rear tire off his bike he won the 125 class on !!!! Those days are the best memories of my life !!!
I don't think he made it past lap 2. He was pushing too hard and probably would have tired himself out,if he had kept that pace too deep into the 45 minute moto.
i remember running to the store to read about who won and it was great i got enthralled in the race just by reading wow how things have changed i feel blessed to be born when i was
I remember reading an article that David wrote about this race.....on the first lap Lechien went flying by everybody on the downhills at warp speed. David thought "If I have to go THAT fast to win then forget it, he can have it" only to see Lechien on the ground a lap later holding his shoulder. Crashing onto that rock hard Carlsbad track.
85 was Broc's last good year. SX title should have been his, in my opinion. For someone to take that 490 and whip everybody else!!! That takes talent and hard work 💪
i was a little tike and recorded this race on a betamax tape and watched it at least 100 times. I still like that jt face mask Ron Lechiens wearing. Only Die hard motocrossers know/remember that face mask.
i had one i bought a 79 yz 80 for 800 bucks bran new worked so hard for it paper route yard clean ups firewood nothing came easy still dont i got scammed pretty good and they keep trying no good indian red dot on their forehead should be a target on the scumbag thieves
it looks like water cooled bikes, but i remember the first 500 CR (1984) was air cooled.... but no way they are racing air cooled Japanese bikes here,right ? (except the Yamaha ,maybe ? )
how to degrade a guy out wear pink so anyone behind you is thinking im getting smoked by a guy wearing pink pants lol broc was the man total pro what an animal
I want to thank you for taking the time to share all of this wonderful footage with all of us. I really enjoy all of it!

The Machine doing his best Magoo imitation for a few laps ..
F Khan he was gone until that front end wash out! Dirt Bike Survival tactics needed😀

The Machine was a very stylish rider. The way he slid the back wheel around the hairpin with both feet on the pegs was so cool. 4:29
That's some great racing! Sure do enjoy seeing the old races that I only read about in the magazines back then! ~Russ

!!Honda had such awesome bikes in that era!!!
Thanks Gary, Keep them coming.
I never grow tired of seeing this race. Just epic!! Second Moto start was amazing.
This is awesome.
Thank You Mr. Bailey for sharing this.
In my opinion David is the best MX rider ever.
Thanks

Ein " the Machine" Lechien.....poetry in motion
Amen
Great job with the videos, Gary.

this is so great a true mx racer and fan can not ever get sick of it
Ron Lechien was showing the best riders in the world how it's done, if he would have stayed up nobody would have came close to touching him .
Mr. Bailey, please , does Geboers and other Honda riders already using the water cooled 500's ??? it's so quick and fuzzy that i just can't say....
Looking for 84 125 races ??

eyalcr500 these are the '85 CR500s. The '84 Works 500's were water cooled but production bikes were air cooled.
@1408 that little kid is like 40 years old now my god time is so unforgiven
dont ever let other people get you down they are just jealous you tell em broc
if lechien trained and really took it seriously he would have been the goat easily the greatest of all time
@2216 now thats a good wife o her knees when david gets home oh the life of a pro athlete
how to degrade a guy out wear pink so anyone behind you is thinking im getting smoked by a guy wearing pink pants lol broc was the man total pro what an animal
eric geobors dead wtf he drowned trying to save his dog
what was radical and crazy back then is laughable today
Great track.
