Hey! Did Brad charge you $100.00 for the autograph? There was an auction on "one of the online auction sites" where one of his buddies, named Joe Abbate, would have Brad sign a poster FOR YOU...for $100.00. The poster was freebie given out at one of the vintage events and Abbate musta' got a hold of a bunch of them. (I actually pictorially captured the auction in fact) And THANKFULLY, "Techniques, Training and Tactics" are nothing like this in the 21st century and ESPECIALLY training. Memorabilia possibly. But fitness, as most of today's have exhibited in spades, has reach new heights unheard of "back then." In fact, "back then" there wasn't a pro on the podium who could give an interview just minutes after a 30 minute moto and after a 30 minute moto...on a big four-stroke oink-er! (Think Villapoto, Dungey,Reed, Short and the like) These are the REAL professionals in our sport who have raised the bar of fitness that have proven who the real champs are and will continue to be for quite some time to come! (Much to the dismay of the 'slackers" who haven't seen an outdoor season in three years!)
ACTUALLY MOTODG1977,THE AUCTION UR TALKING WAS FOR $150. I WERE SUPRISED WHEN I SEE IT. I HAVE ONE OF THOSE POSTER TO
"Back then" they raced 45 plus 2...On much less refined equipment...
Thanks for the article,first book I gave my son to read when he got old enough.still cool to leaf through now and then.
man I send some good pics of some sweet p dubs that got two generations of men into moto and you put that lame stuff up.... its neat and all, but two different generations of dubs, one being an eighty four and one being and 04... geeeez.
No, Brad did not charge me for the autograph. I saw him at Hangtown in 2004, introduced myself and showed him the book (which I always carry with me to the track) He told me to mail it to him, he would autograph it and send it back, which he did! And while I agree, the physical conditioning has certainly been elevated, that in no way distracts from what these guys did in the 70s, I have ridden modern bikes, and if you want to have fun, take a few laps around on the machines we rode!
I do wish I could see the pictures though...
I know I have a several "classic" motocross training books, including this one. I should fish them out. This one he's talking about definitely has some great 70s era world championship photos.
