Is that the factory sprocket on that ATK? Does anyone remember an old rumour/story about some Euro guy who wheelied (a trials bike, I think) around some Dutch or Belgian town til it ran out of gas? I think it was in DB or MXA in the late "70's.

My dad has the same kx 250. Setup the same way. He has wheelied tracks and stuff all over the country as well. He was inspired by doug. My dad has been told by some that he would make doug proud. My dad has been doing it for a long time. His name is Brian Austin. He actually has the same gear as well. My father and his brother also raced pro. He still does tracks to this day when requested. My dad did all of gatorback I'm pretty sure.

We met him a couple of times, and saw him wheelie several complete MX and SX tracks. Really nice guy and a party machine too.

Let me just say, a 4-stroke with an oil pump in the front would seize up under Damokos, just sayin'.

Saw him at Unadilla also. He even wheeled the steep uphill with the hairpin at the bottom.

Someone asked him in the pits why he didn't race.

His answer-
"When I'm out there, every eye is on me. What racer can do that?"
