Andre Malherbe kept friendly dogs

Here's another shot of my visit to Andre Malherbe's home, in southern Belgium during December, I think 1980 or 1981.  He was world champ at the time and I can't remember the back story on the broken hand.

At that time, Malherbe's life was high style.  The mansion, the dogs...who knew the dreaded crash at Paris-Dakar was in the future. That is how it goes for us all:  We can plan well, but none of us know what's around the next bend in the road.

Thanks Andre, for letting me into your life and home for these wonderful pics. I'm glad that I can share them with Retro Motocross readers 30+ years later.
