McGrath for me, living in the mecca of motocross, California and all the great stuff he got to experience in and out of the sport. Truck racing, etc. Still involved and living large.

Tomac wouldn't be too bad either if you wanted to be kind of low key and living the dream in Colorado. Did things his way and been relatively injury-free.

Wouldn't have minded feeling what it was like to ride like Magoo.

And Jeff Ward with moto, supermoto and nearly winning the Indy 500.

One of these four... With Bradshaw being my first pick! Damon was such an iconic rider... style, attitude, speed.

Sounds like some kind of a greek/italian fusion sandwich.

During their racing career.... and and after racing, who would it be and why? I'm going with Roger. Multiple time world and Trans Am champ He is still involved in racing, bagged some hotties, traveled the world, and looks like he could still kick ass and take. names.
The Man is my choice too. Most of us over 50 probably fall into The Man category.

I think this is a weird question. People like us see the success but would you really be willing to trade everything and live their life with all the sacrifices, training, stress and injuries?
Most of us have the injuries without the fame and money...

Yeah I would put Cooper on my list too I only saw him race once but it was great . and other under dogs. Larry Ward , federicci, etc. it’s always more exciting to see a under dog win. All the riders listed r great. 95-2000 was the most fun time.

Dungey, hands down. Plenty of titles and accomplishments, but also has a balanced family life (and with the man above), great wife and kids, still in fantastic shape (and likely always will be knowing him), and clearly he has his priorities straight. I've met him outside of the racing scene 3 different times (really strange to run into one person like that, but every time was in an airport since I travel a ton and obviously he did too) and every time we talked, he's just always been a pleasure to converse with. Extremely genuine, very humble, and just a great person. He is a fantastic ambassador for our sport.

Rick Johnson, because he was on the 86 - 87 CRs. BUT - without Danny Storbeck or his bad wreck in ‘84 with the hip dislocation

Being McGrath in his prime sure looked fun from the outside. I’ll go with MC.

Maybe Ty Davis because he got to compete against so many of my icons. Imagine racing competitively against Jeremy McGrath, Scott Summer, Danny Hammel, Destry Abbott, and many many more all in one career. Pretty insane.

For the fun little to no injuries and being a king it has to be MC plus doing it in a semi normal world and fun era.

For pure bragging rights and being a mythical legend JS7.

Mc.

RC had an amazing career, but would you really want to be stuck as a red head?

I'm aboard on McGrath band wagon too. He was racing in a era when training wasn't as serious as it is today. Riders where treated like rock stars and our sport was regularly noted in the main stream media. Camera phones were not yet invented and I have heard that there were crazy parties after the races

R C the complete package hard work supporting parents and a never give up attitude equals fame and fortune and R C is still working in a industry that he loves and looks like he's still having fun.

100% Roger in my books. Besides the fact that I had a poster of him on my wall as a teen and I rode Suzukis, he did it all and came into the sport in the early years and has seen the sport through several transformative periods, all of which he was a significant part of. He always exuded cool confidence and was poetry in motion on the bike. And still in the game.

Marty Smith. Dude had a Porsche 911 in high school after he signed with Honda. Awesome technique and one of the first U.S. riders to take training seriously.

Yep the Mac ruled the sport during some great years in the 90's.
