That thing is badass. 192 was the first number ever given to me at Indian Dunes in the late 70's when I first raced.

Mustaches too. Personally I think the men wear them just as well as the women.

Always been a huge fan of his writings etc....         Can't imagine anyone in their right mind not liking the guy.   He's got that no bullshit mentality....I guess that's what rubs a lot of sensitive people the wrong way.

Still hope he does an interview one day....would kill to see Ping interview him on Whiskey Throttle.

I'm in my right mind and think his content more often than not is terrible.  As is his attitude that he's some wizard that decides what motocross is.  MXA was a better Magazine under Rick Miller, but that was a long time ago.

If you know you on know.  Jody's Hodakas back then were a part of his personal brand.
