Title: K&N Yamaha's 50th Anniversary Commemorative TShirt
Post by: AMP on February 08, 2007, 05:42:07 PM
Thought a few of you, especially Yamaha Fans, may be interested in owning one of these cool shirts. K&N has become a Tulsa Tradition since their move here from Riverdide, California.  When they first arrived the owners and their kids lived in a home off of Brookside near Channel 2.  News reporters came to their house one afternoon wanting to know why they all drove these mysterious vans with no side windows, and all wore high tech sunglasses. LOL

Something old, something new. Long list of riders and photos of the K&N sponsored racers going back to the early days and up to today. Tyler McDonald #20, Sam's son is leading the pack of riders in the mural.

Shirt comes with a printed list of the Names and Numbers of those pictured on the shirt.

I went through the AMA Hall of Fame and Museum up in Ohio a few years back.  At that time, Norm McDonald was still not nominated into the hall.

Few people in this area have a clue as to his significance in the growth of motorcycling in America back in the '50's and '60's.  Few also realize he is the "N" in K & N filter company.
