SEASON 02: EPISODE 13
Live the Super '70s In A Ferrari 208 GT4
The Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 is a unique car. Overshadowed by its bigger brother, the 308 GT4, the 208 was originally created to skirt under the Italian tax levied on engines above two liters. What the 208 GT4 lacks in displacement it makes up for in sound and style. For Bradley Price, designer and owner of Autodromo, the opportunity to acquire a practical "super car" of the '70s with its famous wedge styling was too hard to ignore. After a year of ownership, Bradley can consistently be found escaping the city and revving the sweet-sounding V8 along the roads and hills of New York.

The film is well made, like always. But I don’t understand it. You show riding bits of a motocross bike and they’re exclusively done on tarmac. Even if it is a collectors item, this is ridiculous.

Auto captions were incredibly accurate:

Idling down hill = [Applause]

Light throttle = [Music]

The Blacksmith Garage where part of this is filmed is an interesting shop. One of their strengths is with mid-century Dodge Powerwagons. For back ground information on the Blacksmith Garage in Eden Utah try this URL: http://www.blacksmithgarage.com/ Eden has a population of about six hundred people. Looks to be a charming place.

Husky did everything. I still have the Husky rifle that put moose meat on the table for our family back in the 1960’s.

2 Stroke > 4 Stroke. not even close. The sound, the smell, the powerband that in many cases wants to kill you. Love them.

What a trip! Just last night I stayed up too late watching the documentary about the making of the ‘Lemans’ movie. I was of that generation that thought McQueen was THE coolest! ‘Bullit’, ‘Lemans’, and ‘On Any Sunday’ were highlights of my childhood. As a young rider the look of these old “Huskies” was already iconic and defined what a dirt bike should look like. It is still such a beautiful, purposeful look and even way back when long travel suspension revolutionized MX racing, I already missed the look of the earlier, low-slung bikes like this one. Beautiful restoration Dell, I only wish we could hear it “up on the pipe” more!
