We totally agree!

Best backstage,sorry pits,truck,bus,Limo 1995 and on US nationals stories of MX wildness I used to imagine when I got back into bikes around 1995,watching races after playing guitar with HITMEN DTK in AU late 80's to 1992 MX I raced as a kid and Rock N Roll definitely has similarities after watching this.Brilliant Video Max.

[@bobhappel4168]

Awesome interview! As an old guy, 70s motoX, this was a great trip down memory lane.

[@johnkorhonen40]

I consider myself very lucky, was stationed in Germany in late 80’s. Met a Dutch women at a 125 WC, In Germany. Started going to as many 125,250,500 WC as I could.3 Motorcross des nations. Dutch national championships. Met Mike Healey became good friends with him, when he was racing Factory KTM out of Holland. Broc Glover, Jeff Stanton, Kiedrowski, Mike Jones. Pedro Tragter. I mean it was the best time of my life. Mickey Diamond. The Volland brothers. So many Americans coming to Europe to race the outdoors. Best years for motocross.

[@SeaWolfEntertainment]

Restoring my dads 1976 Suzuki RM250A. The 1976 A model was the first time that Suzuki introduced the 250 into the RM series. My dad is the original owner of the bike. He raced for one year, doing desert races, before going to college and meeting and marrying my mom. But he always kept the bike all these years. I am currently restoring my bike. My bike is a 1982 Yamaha XT550J Dual Sport Enduro. The XT550J was made for only two years-82 to 83 and is kind of rare and sought after model. Bought it for a $100 bucks and had no idea what I was purchasing.

Covered in oil and bathed in glory! The Wob rules! Great video epic bikes

[@greensocks4507]

Great interview, very interesting . Still got an '04 KX500 with only 50 hours and an '01 CR500 zero hours in the shed. Bought them both new. I was never a star sadly, rode the 500's for a few years. Love to have a look around his shed I must say.

[@999lazer]

Wow, that '01 sounds awesome. Not too many of those to be found these days! I've been looking for a fresh CR500 myself .Thanks for watching dude

[@mainadmin9432]

@@999lazer I bought myself a cr500 in an alu frame. It's in decent condition. Definitely worth it

[@RobertJones-ix2hu]

Bet both of those would bring stupid money if you ever sold them. Be pretty cool if Doc Wob or Kaplan America had them one day. Doc, would rebuild them and actually have it back racing, probably. Kap would make sure they’re in top condition to be ridden & have them in his museum

Remember when the yz490 came out, one dirtbike mag uk 🇬🇧 had a guy doing a know hander jump with a white Arai helmet ,it said "Professor packman ponders his flight path" ,I can't remember anymore front covers. 1980s .

But I did buy a 2022 Honda crf450rl so basically it is a 450 Supercross bike with lights on in and a license plate but I did put $4,000 worth of mods on it already it is the first fuel-injected year ! this four-stroke absolutely amazes me the throttle response will rev instantly I never saw anything like it from a 4-stroke I already got so much done to this bike even all new reworked suspension the suspension on this bike is still as stiff as a covered wagon even after new suspension I cannot stress how stiff this suspension is until I get the suspension under control I will never never never ever take this bike off road!
