Colorado’s Ricky Orlando races his Honda 500 Interceptor at Road Atlanta during the Honda 500 Interceptor Challenge at the WERA GNF in 1986. Orlando was part of a very strong MRA contingent that raced in the Interceptor Challenge that year, including riders like J.T. Terry, Geoff Cesmat, Danny Walker and Philip Johnson. Orlando finished 10^thin the race, which was run on a wet to drying track. Orlando has a rich history in road racing, having started in the mid-1970s, becoming one of the top AMA Superbike riders of the mid-1980s and scoring some other surprising results along the way. I’m featuring Orlando in an upcoming Cycle News Archives. Keep posted.
