Supercross Classics 1989 - Pontiac

[@johnpena9165]

If Ron "THE MACHINE" Lechien would have taken racing as serious as other top riders did he would have went down as one of the greatest !

[@boeingdriver29]

The “Machine” at his absolute best, 👏👍

[@goldenera4ever]

Ron Lechien was absolutely the smoothest ride at to ever throw a leg over a motorcycle. I loved JT riding apparel.

RIP Pontiac Silverdome. Only place I ever was privileged to see the greats.

[@jasonwulff8341]

I love my 89 KX 250. This racing was so much better than today and the bikes were to.

# 4. Team Kawasaki Ron lechine won. RIGHT on. That's cool. I wish # 23 micky diamond would of won. Or # 10 team hondas guy cooper. Still a good race. Love these old school supercross races. Thank you for sharing this

Man, there's just something about a two stoke dirt bike. I like the 70s early 80s finned air cooled motors the best. I rode the tar out of my Kawasaki's back then with Bel- Ray MC1. And never had any motor troubles. 79 KX250, 80 KX250, 82 KX250. The 79 was twin shocked and very beautifully made. The 80 was first year for UNI-Track rear suspension. The 82 was first year for front disc brake.

These tracks seem way more technical then they have now

[@talon0863]

Smooth move at 3:27 like a boss

[@halroy774]

Wow ! Look ! The bikes are not corporation billboards.

[@toddneal7310]

I was in the Front row in the first turn. what a race! Bring back Detroit Monster SuperCross again in THE D!!!

[@55tmilam]

I know there has been a debate about the most naturally talented SX riders such as Bailey,Bayle etc. but I think It’s definitely Lechien! And style for miles!

[@mickharryharris6866]

Lachine one of the greats of that time as was Geoff Ward Guy Cooper and of course Rick Johnson he was amazing , I remember one race where he came off and and was passed by all the other riders only to get back on that CR and win he did !

[@Djtmanga]

Jeff ward is the living legend the goats all time

[@davemiddleton8104]

Blendzall love the smell and the memories

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Lechien was known as fastest rider for 1 lap back then.

[@wernikd]

Why is Jeff Stanton on a 1990 machine and everyone else on 1989's?

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

The chicken !

[@derrickzenner9300]

Stanton had a white frame. Prophetic.

[@colinscott3828]

its a 90 frame

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I am so sick of "penis pill" ads, and ED ads dominating the local radio, (in my area). How about some dirt bike ads? I can't remember the last time I saw a modern dirt bike ad.
