A common sight at my home in Scottsdale, bobcats (Rufus Lynx) would often sit on the boulders in the front yard, presumably waiting for a desert cottontail to hop on by… at least I hope they weren’t looking at me as a potentially tasty treat!

Flat Track by BSA

July 23, 2019October 22, 2019 editor

Growing up in Long Beach in the 1960s, Flat Track racing meant taking a trip to Ascot Park in nearby Gardena and watching the greats of the day under the lights, hypnotized by the speeds, the roar of the engines, and the sweet smell of racing fuel.

Far from the Southern California beaches is #46g, currently on display at the Hill Country Motorheads Vintage Motorcycle Museum in Burnet, Texas. It’s a terrific museum with a great selection of motorcycles from across the generations, but especially rich in 60s dirt bikes.
