You feel old ???
Hahaha !!!!

I remember when Bob "The Hurricane" Hanna was the top dog of MX.
Matter of fact, my buddies sister was engaged to him for a while.

Heck, I remember when "On Any Sunday" came out in the theaters, (waited an hour in line to go see it), and Malcom Smith was number one !

By the time Doug Domokus, (aka, "The Wheelie King"), was getting famous, I'd already been riding for about 20 years !

Ever heard of Bob Haro, of Haro BMX bikes ???
I grew up across the street from him.

how about R.L. Osborne, (pioneer BMX freestyle rider),...
I walked my high school graduation ceremony, with his sister Wendy, who is now a well known photographer in the BMX world.

Heck,... I remember when going for a ride in the desert, you were sure to be riding with guys on Ossa's, Penton's, Greeves, Rickman's, CZ's, Maico's, Hodaka's, Bultaco's, besides all the Husky's, and Yamaha's.
I'll bet most of you guy's have never even heard of most of those bikes.

In my sophmore year of High School Metal Shop, I built a go-kart from scratch, and powered it with a Ossa 250 Stilleto engine.
It Freakin' Hauled A $ $ !!!

Haha,
Who's old now ?????? LOL!!!
