I took it at National Trail Raceway outside of Columbus Ohio. I remember there was an earthquake that day and they went on to call it the Earthquake Drags. Late 80's..early 90's if I remember right.

Wow I dont!!! Its been over 25 years. I forgot I had these pics!!! I do remember there was a Sohc dual engine fuel bike that crashed and they took the rider out by air medic.
It was metallic green with dollar signs all over it. It was really cool but had a terrible speed wobble. The rider ended with two broken legs. Funny I can remember that like it was yesterday.

According to Jay our forum sponsor from APE, that is the old Teson Bernard bike when Larry Hayes owned it.

Is he using the headlight as a cheap form of fairing?

Thanks Guys!!! I took that pic at the Pocono road races. Me and a buddy loaded our bikes in my dads Chevy LUV truck and went to the races. I had my XL250 then. We spent several days riding throught the Pocono Mtns. They were in the process of removing the mountain railroad and we rode the trails through till we came to the areas when they had blown up the bridges between mountains many were still up. Best ride I ever had.
Back to the pic, I always loved the CB750's so that was one of my favorite pics.

Im am so glad you guys know what you do! I have had this pic forever and knew nothing about the bike other than it was cool as heck!
Mama O comes in here and asks what ya doing??? She just looks at the screen and says "bikes" "I love you".  After being married 34 years and me taking her to anything with a motor she knows me all to well.
