The Feed

 Aaron from beautiful downtown Rancho Cordova, CA, checking in… Only eight months to Hangtown! My neighbor at work had a fledgling semi-professional motocross career in the late ’80s and early ’90s. He has great stories and great pictures. Anyway, he was cleaning out his shop the other day and came up with this gem-a brand new seat from a 1987 or ’88 Honda CR250R. He pulled it off the day he bought the bike and put on a custom seat. Believe it or not it’s never even been sat on. It’s a little dusty in the picture, but believe me it’s in mint condition. I don’t know if it is something that you might be interested in? I know from what I read that you are quite the historian when it comes to motocross and thought it might be something that would look better on a Racer X desk than the floor of my sandblasting and Cerakote business! And I would just give it you-I don’t need any money-or maybe trade a VIP ticket for A1 or at Hangtown? Or maybe just a handshake next time I see you in the pits. Thanks in advance, and let me know if that VIP ticket comes with food, so I can leave my warm cheese sandwich and Coke in my CHiPS lunch box at home the day of the race!

(Thanks for the offer, Aaron, I forwarded your email to Honda historian Nick McCabe to see if he was interested and he is, but he’s pretty sure that’s actually a seat from the 1991 model! DC)
