I got adddicted to moto as a little kid growing up a few doors down from the Webb family. Today, Tom "Wolf" Webb is writting for DirtBike magazine after several years at DirtRider, Mike Webb is the manager of Team Suzuki Off-Road and Jim Webb (Tipper) runs a construction company that contracts for all the factories.
It's a small world. I also remember when Kenny Zahrt was the King of So Cal Moto! Indian Dunes was The Place and International Motorcycles in Canoga Park was selling YZ's w/ "Strap-On" tanks! How about Monarchs and Carabellas: Remember those things? How about the first CR's? Talk about "Revolution Coming"! Coffin tanked CZ's? Joel Robert?
And the real CSX of moto would have to be Maico...the whole going away and coming back again and again thing fits.
My favorite old add: "Kawasaki, we're making the Red guys Green with envy..." featuring Bad Brad!
Roger was the man, wasn't he...?
2-stroke is kinda sweet...too bad the Socialist elitist liberal moto haters are killing it off. The new thumpers are cool; but, it's just not the same. Out here in the "Desert" we drag out THE MOTOR (KX500) and remind everyone who's got the juice. Yeah, I know,"But Honda wins Baja" as all the Red boys say. Truth be told, ever since they (Mexican cop who pulled u-turn in front of him durring the race...) KILLED Danny down there, Kawi won't go back. At least not until another generation that doesn't remember is in charge.
'Til then: We'll all just hang out at the Nationals and the Best In The Desert series and win EVERYTHING in the Deserts of the good ole USA! It's good to be Green!
Take Care and never stop the MOTO!
Manny
