I remember one summer day, ('78 or '79) I was at the Saddleback track in Orange county, and we seen Rocket Rex Staten in the pits with His Harley MX250, It was super rare
to see a Harley MX'r at any so cal track, so When the 250 pros came on line we hiked up
webco hill and waited for the gate to drop & to watch rocket Rex brapping that shiny orange
Harley on the adobe hills of Saddleback. Well, Rex got the holeshot, & the bike looked fast, but
eventually Rex lost the lead & I think He got 3rd or 4th. I remember the HD MX250's were not
noted for their suspension, and Saddleback was not a forgiving track.
The highlight of the day was when Rex swung wide to the outside berm, sporting a menacing
look on His face. And sent a huge roost of dirt & rocks at Us, We were super pissed, but then
laughed after the pain subsided from the adobe rocks. lol
We know He did it on purpose because He took the inside (faster) lane on every other lap!
But we got a good look at that orange Harley!
Here is a really clean one.....................& check out that kewl Jersey!
