Mike Trapp
 

Thanks for posting up those pictures 1nc 2000. I wish that I could have been their today to pay tribute to Mike Trapp. He was responsible for influencing me to buy my first sled (1972 Yamaha SL338) the following year after his stellar season on his SR433.

I'm glad that they recognized Mike this weekend with a special Hall of Fame ride and a tribute at the Derby track. Those were some pretty lofty years in the early 70's getting Yamaha noticed as a heavy hitter in the industry after just a few short years entering the market. It's hard to believe that was 50 years ago.

Last time I went on a Fri nite it was $50 I think? New owners doing a good job.
