It's Smets. Stayed at our house a few weeks in the late 90's while prepping for the GP's. Super down to earth guy. Luckily by then he was out of the porn industry.

You guys already have it covered. Smets rode a Honda in 1992 and switched to Husaberg in 1993, I think.

Very good! Laughing

From what I remember 1992 was a breakout year for Smets. He put in some great rides in the GP500 class on his privateer Honda and caught the attention of the factories. Cool pics.
