Won on a Bultaco. Later competed on that other H-bike. Was there a Hodaka connection?

I,m not sure if he raced them in his very early years,but I think so.I do know that he was good friends with Harry Taylor and that he and his brother Ron were big supporters and contributors to Hodaka Days.
He was a true ambassador for vintage racing and a great person.

I agree Mac! Jim was a great ambassador for vintage bikes in general and Hodaka in particular!

Ah! So that is the story behind the story. The bio material I googled didn't mention that.

What a wonderful story!
