Ha! My pleasure masta. Your outfit was great. Would've loved to see Roczen race that track..

Good question! I haven't heard Jeff's name in a long time. I was aware of him just from observing the Honda team. He seemed to fit in with the team going on runs with the guys and kicking the hacky sack around with Sun, Hansen and O'Mara, but he also had a professionism about him. Once I signed with Honda...

That top one is the huge finish line structure at the Bologna SX in Dec. '86. That turned out to be the last race I ever rode. There was a Superbiker deal mixed in to the program on 500's as well as the SX. It was two days of racing in cold weather but really fun. I had just won...

It was my pleasure. I had a great time out there and a great run in the sport. It's hard to put into words the feeling I had to dream of being one of the best riders during the 70's watching Marty Smith and Hannah and so many great names and then actually become like them. However much joy you...

Lee. Not as cool as some of your guys' guesses/ideas. Thanks TsmithMX. Nice of you to say

That's funny. My friend on here (Tbteam) had a band and played saturday night at my national in Va one year. For a gag, they had me on keyboards, but they were playing themselves.

Maggiora! That was a great time. So fun to hang out with Johnny and Rick and hear their thoughts on things. Team USA was having a rough day (which was a bit of a bummer) but I wasn't. I was having a blast! So were our wives. We were treated excellent over there and the fans were really cool to...

That was a fun day. I really enjoyed hanging out with people at local races, some of whom I raced with on the way up the ranks. Racing keeps you sharp and there was always a local kid who would test me pretty good. I was firing on all cyclinders at that time and pretty happy in life and loving...

I have heard some people say, I've never seen a bad picture of the Little Professor. Well, here's one. Yuck. However, that was a screwy drop off into a tricky right and I suppose that's how you look in that situation with 33 1/2 inch wide crome handlbars and whatever the heck I have on for gloves? Not sure if...

Hi Mike, I just saw you weren't through with your questioning ;-) Gary was really good as long as his body was. Once that started to age and stiffen up he rode less so I basically just moved past him as he wore out physically. We never really raced though. I knew my place with him. In 1980 when Bultaco...

You've got an inside line on those photos.. Yeah that camo stuff was cool. Laporte was in an add in it and I liked it, so when that CMC San Diego SX happened I was the new Supercross champion, but since it was a CMC thing and had TV coverage and I had to run #58 I was bummed and...

I loved Montrose. I just found a stack of photos from there with Timmy Walker and that tall guy on the Yamaha that was really good at 3-wheelers or 4-wheels - Steve Mendenhall I think ?? The track was fun, the family atmosphere was cool and I had some good races there that helped my confidence. Ricky Shearer and Tim...

That was the Hilton resort on the Kohala Coast north of Kona in 2001. Gina was like, you should do more of THESE! She got in that lagoon with dolphins, we got a helicopter ride and I rode 4 days in a row to downtown Kona and back. Long rides each morning reliving all the races there. We were having...

Glad to do it and glad you guys enjoyed it. Right now I'm thinking pretty hard about Jesse Nelson.. Lets keep him and his family in prayer! My thoughts: Here's to hoping this nonsense with so many ruts ends and they leave things more natural and hard packed so they quit forming. They're dangerous, not fun and not motocross! That...

I always enjoy looking through photos, especially ones I forgot about or haven't seen. That first one with Gina is right after I won the Anaheim SX in '86. We're both pretty stoked. Such a relief after a funky '85 racing season. The cover - I was stoked to be on one, but thinking, wear a face mask next time...

Webb already is established, but young Forkner is impressive. I think a lot of us saw it coming and it's really neat when a kid you think will do well does. I like the way those two ride. Forkner has a little spice and Webb is just smart. Both of 'em do subtle things that tell me they totally "get...

Hi Manny. I want to give credit to Lackey, Hannah, Broc, Barnett, Ward who were in excellent shape among the popular names and also as I mentioned before Steve Martin, Kris Bigelow and also Gary Pustelak and Tommy Benolkin to name some more amoung riders that may not have won titles but took training VERY serious. Johnny began after he...

Hi Xavier! Yes, you have it right. What I mainly remembered was I had left home to go test Dunlops with Frank Stacy at Gatorback on my 500, then I went straight to the Atlanta SX, then back to Gainsville (where I was robbed and tied up the week before), then straight to Daytona and I was SET on going...

Anaheim was really awkward and I wasn't sure how the night would go. After I walked the track I kind of forgot a lot of it on the way back to the pits. I didn't feel like I got enough practice and everybody looked fast - plus there was that big triple. You could do it, but you had to...

First of all, I'm happy to hear you won the fight with cancer! Yes, MX seems to help us through tough times. It did for me too. The way you wrote this is great and gives me a glimpse from your perspective, which is cool. I can picture Lechien. Ha! I was having trouble pumping up in Pontiac in '84...
