Not motocross, but American & World Racing legend King Kenny Roberts after racing a factory specially built Yamaha TZ 750 Flat Tracker said in an interview……. “They don’t pay me enough to ride that thing.” If you have never heard the story behind this , I encourage you to look it up. It’s legendary.

My favorite was Bob Hannah at Saddleback. He was asked how nervous he was having Howerton on his ass the whole race, Hannahs reply” I was more nervous than a blind faggot at a weenie roast”

"If he was going any slower, he'd be going backwards"  RC said something to that extent watching Justin Bogle get passed by rider after rider while he was a rider for RCH Suzuki and Carmichael was on the broadcast team for the race.  He sounded like he wanted to hang himself by his press pass lanyard.

Not a quote per se, but I think it was James Stewart or RC that nicknamed Andrew Short "The Smiling Assassin". 😆

I can’t remember where I heard this. “Torque your sprocket bolts.”

Bob Hannah  on what if's  -   " If my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle" 

 

After a little research to try and find more context for the quote,it wasn't his quote but he is the person I heard say it. so for me he owns it.

I do wish I had found the source for where I read or heard him saying it. I know it was in some sort of response to somebody asking him" what if ".  

The person credited with it originally was a hockey coach Don Cherry , I know nothing about hockey .

I guess things have changed. I said the word “jack ass” when I was 8, reffing to a donkey. 
My mom poured a half bottle of soap in my mouth. Im still blowing bubbles 40 years later.

Gonna guess they meant Joey Savatgy and something went wrong on the spelling?   As a bad speller its my best guess.
