Today in motorcycle history, April 29, 1979


  

     



  


  Riding his Can Am, Greg Robertson of Woodland Hills, California finishes 17th on Day 2 of the Pontiac 250 Super Cross at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan.






  Greg began his career riding a Coffin Tank CZ250 on May 28, 1972 at California's Carlsbad Raceway. In his debut he pulled off a respectable sixth place finish.




  Belgian motocross legend Joël Robert won three 250cc World Championships ('64,'68,'69) and German Paul Friedrichs won three consecutive 500cc titles ('66,'67,'68) all aboard CZ machines. CZ was the first motorcycle manufacturer to introduce expansion chambers on exhaust systems.
