Having the talent to race mx on a Pro level is amazing. What I don't understand is the hoopla around Mosiman racing on a whim. He works for a magazine where he tests dirt bikes 40 hours a week. And he rode a stock machine that is incredibly good. And he finished into the 2nd half of the results. Yes huge achievement for anyone . There are lots of privateers racing basically stock machines every weekend. Now if he took a stock machine from a dealer and won like Hannah did with the 77 YZ250 at Daytona I think that would be something to talk about. I sincerely am not pooping on Mosimans efforts, he is a great racer.

You kind of are dumping on him. In 1976, Hannah was 125 national champion. In 1977 he was 250 supercross champion.

In 1977, no motocross bike had a single shock rear suspension except the 1977 YZ250. In ‘78 it got a new motor and frame too.

Hannah was the best rider on the best stock bike.

What Mosiman did was cool, but how about Layton Smail qualifying on stock 350 at Washougal, Fox and Hangtown while getting a 19th in moto 2 at Hangtown! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
