Marty Smith
Bob Hannah
Don Kudalski
Tommy Croft
Jimmy Weinert

1980's
Ron Lechein
Micky Dymond
Rick Johnson

It was a struggle since I said only 5 from each decade.

Magoo should in there for sure, it's tough to pick just 5.

I'm still a fairly young whipper snapper so my favorite "old school" riders are MC, Lusk, Bradshaw and Emig. I have also become more of a fan of Denny and Chicken after hearing their stories on Pulp, but didn't know much about them during their actual racing years.

Jim Pomeroy (was my first and biggest Moto hero)

Jaroslav Falta (Falta was fast, did well from a time that Czechoslovakia was an iron curtain country with little resources, was cheated out of World Championship (1974) by the most pathetic dirty riding ever)

Roger D. (He has not always been a team manager. A statement that reminds me of when someones kid exclaimed: "Dad did you know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?")

Heikki Mikkola (Carmichael determination and legendary Viking fierceness)

Brad Lackey (Peace bro)

Malcom Smith (Smile and have fun eh?)

Not to leave out the young up and comers like: Marty Smith, Bob Hannah. Or the guys like Torstan Hallman, Arne Kring, Bengt Aberg, Joel Robert. They were all moto heros
