Hallo Onkel Helmut
Meine ganze Kindheit kam als schoene Errinerung zurueck als ich Deinen Homepage fand....
Errinerst Du Dich noch an mich? Renata..Eines meiner treusten Kindheits Errinerungen und Fotos ist wie ich als kleines Maedchen
auf einen Deiner Maschinen sitzte, die Du an der Hunter Street repariert hast. Ich habe Deinen Homepage wirklich genossen. Es waere schoen von Dir zu hoeren. Ich lebe jetzt in Maryland, bin verheiratet (mein Mann ist

I have a bid to get my two Hercs to Brussels from Portland, Oregon (in one crate) of $1600, which is roughly half
of the last quote I had. I realize that this doesn't do you much good in Ontario, but does give you some idea of what a single crated bike might cost, depending upon how far the crate has to be taken to the nearest
international airport.

Helmut,
I talked to you a
number of times at the Corduroy and other enduros in Canada a few years ago. I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I traveled in a large motorhome with former KTM factory rider, John Farrar. I noticed on your homepage that you
competed in 1959 in a town nearly the same as my last name. That was also the year I was born. You are a true gentlemen and our sport and KTM is lucky to be associated with you.

Started street riding, if you can call it that, in 1962 w/aHonda 50 while at LSU. Graduated to a Honda CL72 to ride
towork and school. Gave up the street stuff after a few close calls w/idiots. Took off the mirrors and started riding in the woods of south Louisiana, when I could.
Tried a couple of more Honda street bikes sort
of converted to dirt, which was an experience.Found Hodaka in about 1968 and stated riding local enduros. Came into a 1969 Maico 360 enduro. The one w/a steel 4 gal tank and up pipe. W
Went to graduate school in
1971 and stopped riding for 2 years. Then bought a Combat Wombat and sundry other Hodaks for spouse and kids. Rode a couple of nationals on the CW. Finished but no trophy.
Went through a couple of Husky 250s, a
PE250 and finally a Husky 390 WR. It ate me in 1980 and spouse suggested the injuries were not so good. So...stopped riding until the kids gave me riding for the 63rd birthday.
have a 1982 Husky 250XC I am
resurecting, a 1983 Honda XR200R that is called Frankenbike due to the conglomeration of parts we used to build it, and the Sachs?Hodaka project.
Am 66 years old semi-retired Architect. Wife suggested I get out
of the house and find something constructive to do, so I help local A/E firm w/QA, specs and CA. Am moving to Shreveport, La as soon as the house sells and start a small practice in Construction Defects Analysis.
Kids live in Eureka Springs, Ar and will visit them and look for a place to ride. SLOW cause of various maladies.

Hallo Helmut, habe mir heute am Neujahrstag einmal
Zeit und Muße genommen deinen Werdegang zu studieren. Du hast es ja weit gebracht im Leben. Der Motorsport hat Dich geprägt, nie losgelassen und wie es scheint auch gesund gehalten. Ich würde mich freuen Dir bei Deinen
nächsten "Gastspiel" in Old-Germany über den Weg zu laufen.

Opa Speedy! When will we see some photos of you at the 2002 ISDTRR? Oh, maybe when I send some to you? Once
again, a pleasure to meet you and share the trails with you, Burchard and Leo this year..although I could never catch up to you in the woods! They do not call you Speedy for nothing!
I look forward to the next time we ride together.

Having the opportunity to watch Helmut ride as I grew up was a thrill. It didn't take a lot to figure out he was one of the fast guys.
