Piggy-backing off of MLs Honda topic, I thought it would be fun to see which rider immediately pops into your head when you think of a certain number. Obviously this will be pretty heavily skewed by when you were most active in the sport. I just focus on 1-20 to keep it a little easier to see which era everyone thinks of, and for some numbers, if I had to think about the number, I didn't list anyone
1.) McGrath
2.) Villopoto
3.) Brown
4.) Carmichael
5.) Dungey
6.) Have to think about - no iconic 6's to me
7.) Stewart
8.) Langston
9.) Tedesco
10.) Have to think about - no iconic 10's to me
11.) Emig/Lusk
12.) Have to think about - no iconic 12's to me
13.) Voss
14.) Windham
15.) Wilson
16.) Have to think about - no iconic 16's to me
17.) Reynard
18.) Have to think about - no iconic 18's to me

When I looked at the first post I noticed Vuillemin #12 was missing so I checked if it was American riders only. And it looked like American born riders only 😅 but glad it’s random riders and numbers so to make up for it
Dv #1 DV #2 Dv #6 Dv #12 Dv #99 Dv # 934
i watched him race with all those numbers number 8 I know only from pictures. I had my whole bedroom wall covered with his pictures. Lol pretty funny now i look back I know exactly wich number wich picture i had printed 😄
I liked that one the best, and he also used 104.
Close, 19 Doug Henry.
RICK JOHNSON WINNING 5 IN A ROW....I WAS AT FULTON CO WHEN HE LOST THR 6TH...BEST BIKE EVER....
