I went down a YouTube rabbit hole and want to hear from everyone else. Share your personal list of motos that are most memorable to you. What comes to mind when you think about the greatest motos of all time?
I think about Southwick 2011 Moto 2 and Millville 2006 Moto 2. I can replay those in my head without even watching video. I also can visualize Freestone 2012 for the sole reason that Baggett was launching himself into those rollers.
The 2000 MXdN is a really good watch. Ricky, Hughes, and Travis get it done.
I think it’s 2003 (?) Mount Morris, Pa. I consider it the greatest day of pro motocross I’ve ever witnessed. Hughes Vs Brown in 125’s, RC Vs KDub (250/450) …. Absolutely bonkers.
Rup, mine is a very obscure one. 2000 Anaheim 2, 125 Main.
Talon Vohland was in the lead with Danny Smith behind him. Midway through the race, Danny put the front end of his Honda straight in the air and started doing the quad on a 125... and the place went mental.
Danny caught Talon on the last lap but finished second. If there was just one more lap, there would have been an epic drive by pass over the quad for the win.
If Dungey rode every race with the aggression he had at Southwick 2011, I think RV may have missed out on a couple of outdoor titles. He was going so freaking fast in moto 2.

DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Yup, that was insane to see in person. Difficult track to pass, 7/8 of a lap down, make that 15/16 of a lap down. Must see moto for sure.
The whole 2011 Outdoors is awesome, starting at Hangtown with Dunge as the defending champion, RV coming off his first SX title and Reedy’s first year on his own team.
Moto 2 on a chopped out Hangtown had the three of them going at it from lap 1.
JACKSONVILLE 2009 SUPERCROSS

I say this every time a thread like this pops up
1999 Washougal! Special guests! Surprise winners! Moore sisters!!
250's are incredible but the best is the second 125 moto! RC and Jason McCormick are going faster than anyone I've ever seen on 125's! Yeah yeah I know Stewart was probably faster but holy shit they were hauling
First moto is the stuff of lore...RC/Bubba (the incident)
2006 Washougal
Canard and Pourcel Steel City 2010
The 2006 Hangtown first moto when both RC and James went down in the first couple corners and blew through the pack together is a good watch.
JS7 Totonto 2014
Kenny @ Millville 2016
1986 Anaheim SX epic battle between RJ and Bailey.

I can't believe this race hasn't been mentioned yet. RC vs Bubba - 2007 Budds Creek Moto 2. This race was legendary. One of Bubba's scrubs over Henry Hill had my jaw on the floor. Absolutely epic moto!!!
Atlanta 1999 250 main, probably the most exciting Supercross race of all time. Race starts at 28:00
2008 Daytona Supercross
1986 Anaheim hands down.
Great choice, Rup.... BTW, how's the Camino doing? That tailgate alone could tell some good tales.... Merry Xmas buddy! I'm a Ford lifer, but I'd welcome her into my home any day......
Pit Row
Michael I don’t think Steel City was 2010, but my memory is as hazy as my IPA’s….
Cheers, brother, latest projects are a 1968 Ford Country Squire wagon and a 2002 Caddy Limo. Installing a Tremec 5 speed in the CaMoto this winter, out with the primitive Muncie 4 speed.
The Tremec is legend, have one in my 86 5.0 GT my parents got for me for HS graduation......borderline bulletproof. The 68, is it an FE big block car? If so, reach out.... Got a few FE goodies lying around I could help you with. Again, Merry Christmas!
It is indeed, 390 4 barrel, my mechanic Danny has been doing the heavy shtuff. Please find me on FB, I’ve never been able to navigate the Vital messenger very well… Definitely interested in FE goodies…. Or email at rxpellett@gmail.com
Look I know you wanted the sports wagon in arctic blue but the family truckster in metallic pea is a damn fine automobile
“You think you hate it now, wait until you drive it !
2012 Beneliux GP MX2 race 1.
Tomac edition:
2022 Millville 450 Moto 2: Tomac going ballistic in the opening laps.
2022 Detroit 450 Main Event, Tomac come thru the pack
2023 Anaheim 1 450 Tomac crash and win,
2023 Seattle 450 Tomac blitzing the whoops by everyone.
Damn I wish I'd known you had that, I just got rid of a 68 428 CJ aluminum intake that would have been a direct bolt on..... I'll reach out to you via email, haven't been on FB in over a decade. I can help you on any questions Danny may have on the old FE stuff to my best ability. My Dad had a bunch of that stuff throughout my life, and as I stated, all we know is Ford, especially 60's muscle parts. We have had 427 SOHC's. 2 Thunderbolts, 427 Tunnel ports, etc...
Some stuff still around I'm keeping of course since he passed, but a few things I'll let go..... The 390 is a solid ass plant. Can't go wrong, easy to wake up.
