I clicked onto a video about Can Am on You tube the other night quite interesting with Jeff Smith telling the story of how this all went really well after he as hired – he moved to Canada and developed the bike which was quite successful – We saw a lot out in Alberta, and Jeff came to the 1976 Moose Mountain Cross Country ( where I followed him up the first big hill on the Yamaha Canada IT 400)
Another video shows the history of Yamaha – but they neglected to mention the TY series that Mick Andrews promoted for them ( And one of the reasons I went to work for them in Canada)
====================================
We had a nice visit with Katie yesterday – she told me all about Donner – sounds like an exciting time.
