I had never heard of Jimmy John's until I saw it on Roczen's bike.  Shortly after that, a couple Jimmy John's opened near me.  Sadly the closest one closed down a couple years ago.

And I thought "Freaky Fast" was just something Roczen put on there to describe himself.  Didn't realize it was the JJ's slogan.

This exact bike was hanging in the Soaring Eagle (Snoring Seagull) Casino about 20 minutes from my house. I was blown away as the tribe was never about anything like that. Turns out a friend of mine who I built lowriders cars with worked for the marketing crew at the casino and he said he had a small part of making it happen. Its when I got back "into moto" again around the early 2000's.

They also had a bike hung upside down in the cafe area that Hart "claimed" he did the first backflip on. I dont think it was the real one as it looked like a bunch of parts that were laying around in RC and Cary's garage that they threw together. 

Def a cool era for Mid Michigan moto scene.

Factory Yamaha brought on "Knich" as a sponsor, never really knew what they did but the company disappeared not long after. I think Davi had some stake in it, can't really remember though.

Yamaha dropped them because they made ammunition PREVIOUSLY  in their history (not currently), then wasn't public about the reasoning for fear it would anger their base consumer. 

 

True story, I was always surprised this  didn't get any coverage. There's enough info out there to verify what I'm saying

Do you know where the bike is now? I'm also in the area and have looked around for it when at the casino the last few times, but never saw it.
