That guy was as cool as it got when i was growing up. I'm sure he was one of the reasons i couldn't wait to get my first dirt bike and learn to ride a wheelie.

I feel the same way Dan. I had posters of him in my room growing up.

When I was a kid my dad took me out of school early one day to meet him at Bill Breck Dodge in Tucson when he was here for some sort of promotion.

I had the snake river rocket, a stunt car, the chopper and the stunt cycle, used to wind the heck out of that gear to send him flying. LOL

One crazy cat from Montana.
I always thought of him as being bendable, but unbreakable.
Guess all things come to an end.
