Grew up dirt bike racing/flat track, hence Malcolm Smith, Cal Rayborn, Scott Parker and who could not forget Jay Springsteen who is pretty good right now in MotoST. Bruce Brown for the greatest motorcycle documentary ever and finally my current hero, Erik Buell for what I ride. Too many others to list in drag racing, road racing, flat track, endurance racing, the magazines writers, actors and all who helped me gain my knowledge and experience in this sport. | ||

Toni Mang -- Lucky for me he went on to be a legend because as a youngster I was sold on him. Mostly unknown in the US, but I witnessed his very first win (I think it was his first,,,,I could be wrong,,,Augsburg) Gene Church -- this was pre-Internet and the Stars & Strips didn't cover American motorcycle racing. I'd have make collect call to the states to get my updates. My dad would spit out the results and hang up on me Great memories. | ||

I made the Spider's list! You're my hero! w00t! Evel Knievel when I was growing up. Now a days, I admire a couple of riders. These would be the riders I personally know. Street Phenom, Hooligan Extreme would be Good Ol' Uncle Charlie. Racer, Lightweight Twins Champion 08, would be Shred. Both of these guys are my heroes. As well as a long list of people I haven't met...yet | ||

Spidy take out a line of new harleys rather than have a rampaging MJ take out a crowd of by standers at great hazard to him self.. KR Decoster Brian Kenney ( some 3%ers may recognize him ) aka buffalo Brian Erik Buell ( for a variety of reasons not directly related to racing ) Ferris & D many others I can't recall | ||
