On May 10, 2008, the highly anticipated MID-VALLEY CYCLES reunion took place in Lake
Elsinore, California. This event, planned for over a year by Peter DeLaTorre, was to pay
tribute to his parents, Andy and Marie DeLaTorre , owners of MID-VALLEY CYCLES in Van
Nuys, California. The DeLaTorre's were very active in the motorcycle/motocross community
during the 1960's, 1970's and into the 1980's. Through the years, they established very close
relationships with many of todays motocross legends including Roger DeCoster, Joel Robert,
Torsten Hallman, Malcolm Smith and the list goes on..
The DeLaTorre's have had a tremendous impact on American motocross and motorcycling in
general. The lives they have touched are many and this reunion was an opportunity for us to
express our thanks for their support and encouragement over the years.
Peter DeLaTorre hired Marty Tripes to cater the event. Marty and his crew treated the 250
plus guests to an unbelievable meal topped off with a 25 foot long dessert table and open
bar. No one went home hungry!
Congratulations to Peter DeLaTorre, Marty Tripes and the rest of the planning committee for
putting together what will undoubtedly go down in MX history as one of the most enjoyable
and memorable evenings for two very special people, Andy and Marie DeLaTorre!
