I got lapped by Torsten Hallman twice at the Wilseyville Enduro 1966ish. Rained for 3 days. Hodaka 100.
Edit
Full disclosure: twice on the first lap.

I got the holeshot in my first ever moto at Loretta Lynn's. I didn't win, but man that was a rush.

Here's a couple good ones. I was able to check out how nicely KAWASAKI was engraved in JS7's skid plate as he flew over me on the finish line table triple step down at Comp in maybe 2009ish? Music wise, earlier this year worked a private event, was able to hear The Red Hots warm up and got into some back and forth with one of their manager/agents about parking. Fun stuff!

By most it is that I crashed myself into a coma and lack the sense to hang up the boots. I still ride once a month.

I almost forgot this one, Kayla Kleevage dragged me onto the stage at the Gold Club one night and I was nearly suffocated by ALL of her goods, upstairs and the basement apparatus.

Yes, really.

I went to get the drinks when we arrived and my wife went to the beer garden. I returned with the beers and she’s sat at a bench talking to him. I sit down and pick up the conversation and we end up talking moto for a bit (Jason Bonham used to race with me in the schoolboys).

He then leaves and Mrs A says “How do you know that man then?”

I say, “Do you not know who he is?”

“No”, she replies. “I was talking to him about his dog.”

“Er, that’s Robert Plant”, I say.

Should’ve offered to buy him a pint I suppose. But then he didn’t offer to buy us one.

True story Bros.

(He lives not too far away and has been to our pub before, although I’ve never met him previously. Seemed a nice guy)
Robert Plant is a God!

Hit a hole in one on a 253 yard par 4 in June this year and thought that was my best shot, but someone told me my 2 on a par 5(albatross) last year is harder to do.

I once holeshot and won a sx. It was Atlanta 2000 ktm challenge.

Off the bike, probably some of my graphics kit I designed that ended up on the cover of magazine or battling up at the top of mxgp races

Theres a few, but my friend Jerod Stoner and I (mainly Jerod) beat this guy in his own race. That's kind of neat.

Did my first tandem skydive at the age of six, with my parents who were doing this a lot jumping out in front me. This was in 1992 and blows my mind now that I’m a parent myself.

Lapped the whole field at the Dutch Championships 60cc race in 1997. If only I could have done that in my later years of racing too.

Something about her big fake cans, I don't know it was a long time ago.

I won my one and only go at road racing on a borrowed ZXR600, beating, amongst others, Keith Flint from the Prodigy (RIP) before his record label told him he had to stop racing. He was a great dude that day, plenty of banter, humble bloke.

Moto-wise, I got nothing- I'm a C class rider, B-maybe. Outside of moto, though....

1) Some people consider me one of the best Martin guitar repairmen in the U.S. (so... by default... "anywhere"), esp when it comes to 70's models which have a lot of problems. Due to this, I was on the cover of Tone Quest Report two months in a row which I don't think anyone else can claim. Here's my YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/user/NMHighPlains

2) I wrote a book on falconry equipment in '92 that's one of the best selling falconry books ever, in its 6 printing, 2nd edition, still going strong. On the recommended reading list of all the State game agencies and the Nat'l organization. It's affectionately known as "The Orange Book".

Stop-Light Drag Races on The Streets of Ensenada with/against KC66 on the FMF Baja Ride in...2012 or 2013...?
We must have pulled off 10 of them.
I was on a very nicely prepped Honda CRF-X from JCR, he was on a Bad Ass KTM450 that was waaaay for MX than you'd think it would be...
We ended up tied, no shit...it was a "Hole Shot" thing. We were laughing like a coupl'a school kids and riding wheelies. We're dirt-bikers...in Mexico...ya'know? (Peelout can explain).

So...we got back to the San Nic (Hotel) and the Red Bull "handlers" are all pissed and unloading on me at the bar..."You could get him in trouble! People know him! They know our brand! Dude, NOT COOL!"

Kurt pulls me aside..."Dude, Forget those guys. That was insane and is exactly why we're down here. Forget them!" He said it as he stared them down and handed me a Pacifico & a glass of '42 (my drinks of choice in The Baja).

I've had some amazing experiences on my dirt scooter; but, that day was epic.

I miss him. I really do. He was VERY "punk rock" and in it for the fun.

Myself, and alot of other people too, used to beat Doug Henry in the 125B class in 1985. But as we all know, he got a late start and hadn't been racing for very long.

My first 11 jobs in the current career had me dressing as women. Most of which, you bro’s probably geeked out on.
