Bruce Ogilvie on the Harley-Davidson Desert Racer (circa 1975)

Just came across this faded black & white print of Bruce Ogilvie on what I think is the famous Harley-Davidson SX250-based desert racing machine. The SX went through extensive modifications (this version sported a C&J frame) and amazingly Bruce and Larry Roeseler won the Baja 500 in 1975 on the machine. A Harley winning a desert race? Now that is something to brag about. (Cycle News photo)
