[b]Rode 1971, then raced since '73; periodic breaks due to things called broken bones, stuff like that. Photographer for local CN, Modern Cycle and rider requests in old days. Took break called full time job; helped Nat. Pro for longtime. #85/851 as sponsor, mechanic, driver...Kid make his Nat Number with as shoestring budget as been in history. Most talented rider that never had amateur/factory support ever seen. Still think he can be a good racer...but makes more doin' other things..waay more. Proud of the kid... Don't know jack about moto despite being moto most of my 50 years here[/b]. Professional noob. Wear a defib/pacer; got long QT syndrome; electrical malfunction of ticker. I will ride again; winters are better on me than summers heat. I'll come back and challenge BobbyM to a match race. If you believe that.....
