I don't know a single person who has ever been into motocross, that hasn't tried to emulate that beautiful baritone with their voice. Some bar owner should do a motocross karaoke night. I'm afraid to sing in public, but if it was motocross night, they'd have to yank me off the stage.

(I was thumbs up #50) Yeah, go check out the _1996 Motocross Des Nations from Jerez, Spain_ which featured a _Team USA_ Sweep _team USA_ members being Steve Lampson (American Honda Factory Team 1996 Honda CR125R), Jeremy McGrath (American Honda Factory Team 1996 Honda CR250R) & Jeff Emig (American Kawasaki Factory Team 1996 Kawasaki KX500)... when I first started watching this, I wondered why they didn’t put Jeremy on a Honda CR500, but Jeremy was presumably the captain of the team & the most dominant racer of the 3, which explains why I’m the first moto (which was 125cc & 500cc racers) both Steve Lampson & Sebastian Tortelli passed Jeff Emigs KX500 (Lampson on a CR125R & Tortelli on a KX125...)

Saw him in Tampa Stadium years ago. That night a local radio station gave away 5 or 6 kids bicycles and the winning children got to ride on the track during intermission. My son won a bicycle that night and it had MX style handlebars with a padded cross brace attatched. When Jeremy McGrath won the main event that evening my family met him in the pit area. I asked him if he would sign the crossbar bad on my sons bicycle and he did ! Then he pulled the Renthal crossbar pad off his motorcycle ( 250 Honda ) and signed it also and handed it to my boy. Jeremy McGrath is a class act. Thank you SHOWTIME !!!!!

@@codprocamp4690 For a track absolutely. 2 stroke technology stopped 20+ years ago. Imagine if that stayed up with the times. It would be very interesting to see all the little tricks they would have came up with. I think for a 2 stoke to be modern it would need something like traction control. I've had plenty of 450's and I have had plenty of 500's too. I now have a CR500AF that I built. The 2 stroke spins as its more powerful. The 4 stoke puts the power to the ground better.
