I was fortunate to meet Freddie Spencer at his racing school in Las Vegas. It was Christmas time and Freddie was getting ready to go home for holiday's. He was kind enough to spend about 45 minutes to show me around his school and show me his MotoGP medals. One of the nicest racers I have ever met. He took the time to talk racing with me. Highlight of my trip to Las Vegas. I wish him all the best.

Freddie was my "bike-hero" back in the beginning of the 80's, and still is, because of his passion about motorcycling. Met him in Loudon in '93(I think he was with Ferracci)..Really nice and humble guy...Keep going Freddie!!

Yes people my age will never forget Fast Freddie, Double World Champion. My memories was playing 2stroke dirt and streetbikes when he was a champion. The scream of 2strokes and R40 Castrol is just so nice. Freddie Spencer is so gentle and soft spoken, a very good role model and ambassodor for motorsport> RESPECT !!!!!

We need more modern bikes that looks like older sport/race bikes. Especially now when many bikes uses the engine as a stress member of the chassis.

[@louismartin4446]

Freddie, GENTLEMAN first, FANTASTICS Champion SECOND

[@louismartin4446]

We had so many top American riders in the 80’s and early 90’s….why are most now all rom Europe? What happened our guys? Not enough tracks like in Italy or Spain? We have the population base but perhaps because most come from immigrant diasporas and money is too thin?

He's right about motorcycles. Billionaires ride 35yr old $2,500 refurbs.
