"These are the Good Old Days is a series of motorcycle recollections written by Smith, Hosaka and Kukla that originally appeared over a number of years in S&S Off Road Magazine. These are the Good Old Days Motorcycle Memories Delivers Informative, easy read, loaded with little jewels of information and facts not generally known among many enthusiasts. It gives the reader a sense of what it was like to be there. You can almost smell the fuel, feel the wind in your face and feel the excitement as you twist that throttle. - Debbie Matthews, WSMX-Women’s School of MotocrossYou’ll enjoy every memory they share because they’ll remind you of motorcycle memories of your own. Fred ‘Bro’ Smith: “In about 1956 a group of us formed the Lions Motorcycle Club and a couple of years later the Los Ancianos M/C. The Lions were a particularly strong racing group. The first year the members won every off road race in San Diego County."Wayne Hosaka: ”Back in about 1964, the area in El Cajon where Parkway Plaza is today was a wide open field . . . There must have been ten guys on 40 cubic inch Triumphs, BSA’s and Nortons lined up handlebar to handlebar, clutch levers pulled tightly against the grip, motors revving higher and higher . . . My excitement had built to a frenzy as the starter threw the flag and the riders dropped the hammer and flew out of the starting gate throwing dirt and dust 20 feet into the air . . . "Steve Kukla: “My first desert trip was in the fall of 1970 . . . knowing any riding areas beyond the hills of South Bay seemed completely foreign. We might as well have been going to the moon. An Apollo mission in the capsule of a1951 Chevy pickup. Mr. Reilly, my friend Jack and myself with our AT1 Yamahas in the bed . . . "Brings Back a Lot of Good Memories Nice review about the racing in the 60s and 70s. I never lived in San Diego. I was a North Hollywood dude. Like all the guys in the book I lived like that. Every Friday night at Ascot I was a pit man. Our club, the Lost Angels, helped put on the first AMA National Scrambles at Perris in the late 50s. Came down to El Cajon with the L. A. racers many times. I won the Open class at the first Tecate 100 lap in 1956 I think it was. This book brings back a lot of good times down south has we called it. Not many of those guys or bikes are still around and only a few of the tracks. Thanks for sharing. - Chuck Minniear, Lost Angels MC
