    Chuck and his brother were local racers here in the NW (Oregon) and when i was in high school we used to go out and watch them mop up on the field on Honda's. this was i think right before the big honda contract and national win. He was also the Berg rep for a while not to long ago and used to see him around here quit a bit. One of the Berg ads was shot at a favorite ride spot of mine. Washougal has a "chuck Sun" jump named in his honor.

    I recently scored a pair of his Sun riding pants, still looking for a jersey. I emailed him asking what the lettering on the side said- assumed it was Chines because of his heritage. Funny thing, he said, that the writing is Japanese and it's a translation of his last name. Now you know!

    Cool, dual rear shocks....now there's a blast from the past. My
    79' YZ80 was mono-shock, Yamaha was definitely setting the trends
    back in the day as I can remember my 81' YZ125 was the first motocrosser that was water cooled with the radiator mounted up
    in front of the handlebars. Not to mention the whole four-stroke
    revolution with the YZ400f in 98. Sorry for straying off the original
    topic.

    Hey! They stole little detail ideas from my old Husky!.. JK :D

    I remember tying a knot in the clutch cable to gain adjustment at the perch. And the tie-wrap on the spark plug wire. Thats funny.
