Favorite Rider and Why?

[Master Yoda]

My fav rider of all time was Bob Hannah, not just cause we've rode together at the King's place but Bob rode anything and everything! Hes the Rick Flare of motocross... they best there was , the best there is, and the best there ever will be. WHOOOO !

Doug Henry another rider that gets a high five from me... even he he does ride a Yam-a-ha ha ha.
The dude is just awesome, he spanked the two strokers with his thumper and had them crying for their mama's. And to come back after all his injuries including a broken back! Amazing.

Rick Johnson also one of my tops... real nice guy, can't drink worth a sh!t but what the hell. If it wan't for his career ending injury I think he'ld still be spanking the kiddies on the track. His MX school is good too.

How did he get injured?? And how did david baley become paralized like that?? Both were super fast...they had a supercross race on ESPN classic a few months ago from the 1980's and it was awsome to see how fast they were on the equipment they had.

Rick Johnson and Bob "The Hurricane" Hannah both had their carreers cut short by a injury to their thumbs and wrist problems.
David Bailey cased a double jump and broke his back and crushed a couple verabras.

FYI Bob Hannah actually tested and help to develope a four stroke YZ back in the 70's .

yeah but they decided not to use it because they couldn't get it light enough and it was too complicated for the average joe to own and wouldn't keep up to the light 2 strokes of the time.
