1975 Baja 500 endurance race
Larry Roeseler and Bruce Ogilvie win the Baja 500 endurance race for Harley-Davidson with a time of 8 hours, 16min, and 53sec.
The Baja 500 is a 360-mile course that begins and ends in Ensenada on the Baja peninsula of Mexico. It is an annual off-road battle between motorcycles, cars, jeeps, and custom vehicles. On June 13, 1975 (a Friday, no less), Larry Roeseler and Bruce Ogilvie rode their SX-250 to a 250cc class win, an overall motorcycle win and they came in second out of all 375 vehicles in the race. They were the first and only Harley-Davidson riders to achieve such a feat.
