Full disclosure: twice on the first lap.
The Shop
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
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.
Pit Row
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:

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".
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.
