Sam McDonald leans his Yamaha FZ750 Superbike into a turn and kicks up some dust with his knee during a WERA sprint race at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway in March of 1987. McDonald was one of the leading AMA Superbike racers of the mid-1980s. He was likely racing at Talladega that weekend as extra practice in between AMA Superbike events.

Marshall Rautmann says:
This bike ultra trick.
September 1, 2012, 12:22 amI think he had lots of Yamaha Japan parts on it.
He had a dry clutch and a massive swing arm.
I got one picture which looks like a quick change front fork.
Anybody else remember this bike?
