Dick’s parents were the first Husqvarna dealers east of the Mississippi river - Robbins Sportcycle of Pontiac, Michigan.
He was a Husqvarna supported rider from 1966-1972 and was an Ossa Factory racer from 1972-1974.
In 1968, 1969, and 1970, Dick won both the District 14 Championship as well as the AMA Sportsman Championship.
He turned pro in 1970 and competed on the circuit for 3 ½ years with several top 10 finishes as well as several Pro-Am victories aboard his Ossa.
It was also in 1970 that Dick was asked by Edison Dye to be a part of the first American Trophee Des Nations team. Along with his teammates, Mark Blackwell and Bob Grossi, they ventured to Knutsrop, Sweden and were the first American team to compete in this prestigious event.
