I can't really speak to how I feel now as a 35 year old, but as a youngster did it matter to me what a guy like McGrath wore or rode? Absolutely. I was a freaking billboard for whatever Jeremy was doing at the time. No Fear everything! Now Thor everything! Helmet fin? Sure! Giant numbers for my bike? Hell yeah! I also (like the poster above) bought my first Suzuki after RC went over and am thrilled that I did. Hell, even now my son has an RC replica Stider bike. Now? Hard for me to say. I don't really ride these days. Once that changes we will see. But I sure remember a ton of people wearing whatever Fro, or MC, or RC or Bubba were wearing back in the day. The second RC took the throne from Jeremy the number of people I saw wearing the orange Fox gear was nuts.
Are you smart enough to buy a bike that costs less, weighs less, makes more horsepower per cubic centimeter, can be rebuilt for recycled aluminum can money and is giggle inducing? It is hard to believe that the American riding public flunks this test en masse. How stupid are you?
