"Where they raced" dvd just came out, here are a couple of clips
WHERE THEY RACED: Speed Demons in the City of Angels tells the story of a pre-gridlocked Los Angeles... a time ripe with orange groves, movie stars, year-round sunshine and more auto racing and innovation than anywhere else in the world. This documentary film is told with hundreds of vintage photos, lost archival films and revealing interviews that reunite the ghost tracks of Los Angeles with the cars that raced on them to give these fading memories a victory lap.
You will not find a more complete perspective on the historic Southern California racing scene. - AUTOWEEK

get my good side... amazing, the drivers side bumper and fake wood siding is nearly gone
I can only imagine that it was parked facing the West, and in the north hemisphere, and the sun just destroyed the one side and never saw the passenger side

1984 Raleigh 555sl Team USA... all original and nearly unused bike
I stored this for a dozen years and finally sold it
Chrome Moly tubes under the paint
All Shimano stuff here
Original tires and everything else
by the condition of the stickers, this hasn't seen any water
another view of the tires... and evidence that the tread hasn't been used much if at all.
the bottom of the kickstand
meant to show the top of the kickstand, I noticed that the original tires were marked Raleigh, so I moved the tire a bit and took the photo again, below
