Pictures I got from old Hutch factory rider Walter "Tiger" Holda.
This was before Hutch came out with his own stuff. I (Walter) was ridding a JMC and Richie was riding an SE PK Ripper. I also had a Redline at the time. It's funny, when you think of "Hutch" you think of his great bikes but there was a time before he started his own line when we all road different manufacturers, and we just road what we liked. This was the time (1980) just before the first "HUTCH" was released. I remember at the time some of the pro riders and Rich Farside were riding some of the prototypes first before the rest of the little people got theirs. The HUTCH team did very well and we had a lot of great local talent. So even before the "Factory" team we won our share of team trophies up and down the east coast.
