BLAST FROM THE PAST

Andre Malherbe (Honda) and Hakan Carlqvist(Yamaha)  were fierce competitors on the GP circuit in the early 80s. In 1980, Andre captured his first 500cc world championship racing for the Honda factory racing team. Malherbe successfully defended his title in 1981 and in 1984 he won his third 500cc world championship for Honda. In 1983 Carla went face to face with the Honda duo of Malherbe and Graham Noyce to win the 500cc World Championship. We lost Carla in 2017 and Andre passed away this year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIPPER!

Winter solstice marks brother number three’s birthday. It’s a big number so we’ll keep that under the cuff.  Happy Birthday Tip!!!

Tip on his favorite machine ever, the Chilean 300 TPI.

 

Tom and Tip in the Piutes. Little bro helping the inflexible Editor manhandle his 300 under a decently sized stick in the woods.

 

Mammoth MX, the corner heading up the start straight uphill. I believe this was 1989. Tip would race any spare bike I took up to the event and always performed incredibly well despite little seat time.

 

Gorman California,1986. Tip is testing the Yamaha IT200 and I captured him in flight.

 

Tip, Carlsbad USGP. Not certain of the year, but think it was the ’82 race where Magoo dominated.

 

WOLF: BACK IN THE DAY

Back in the day the Wolfster was put in charge of a book called 3&4 Wheel Action. I had never ridden a three wheeler and went in hard. To be honest, I sucked. I was hanging with “Wax” from Team Honda and he was a magician on the machines so trying to emulate him was a lost cause. Life got instantly better when Suzuki came out with the Quad Racer. With ATVs it’s all about off-cambers and I struggled mightily, with four wheels it got easy.
