I first met Ivan major 1970 Costa Mesa fairgrounds, I was new to speedway as a spectator fan but was blown away by the speed full throttle all the way around every lap I've been major would ride that little track it was amazing. An old friend of mine father built Ivan major it's been way bike frame out of titanium and had it nickel-plated as a gift his name was Fuji Yonahara master welder and would have Ivan over for dinner often. This was back in the day that the Euros came here during their off season and we here in the US would go over yonder and race against the Euros I'm sure you've all heard of Bruce penhall hehehe good times good memories peace
