You know the ways of the Force. Those two you speak of rode crazy enough to make a seasoned Special Forces Vietnam Army Colonel take to drink.

Sherman also sponsored Steve Wise to race a relatively big money indoor motocross race in 1976. Wise usually rode modified Elsinores. But in El Paso, he rode stock Yamahas with the air forks that looked like a speedometer and tachometer on the bike. Wise was very fast and split wins with Carlos Serrano who was riding Husqvarnas at the time.
