There's no helicopter floating around me when I start a race :o

I laced a set of wheels back in late 94 for Danny. Not only was he "pin-the-throttle" fast, but he was a great guy to have around and talk to. He was missed by my whole shop, and everyone that could traveled to his funeral where there had to be about 400 people.

One of my all time favorite riders. Those Kaw 500's were untouchable.

Love that song.

Helicopters couldnt even keep up with him ,hes the man

[LORDTREVORTON]

His style was ahead of its time. it was smoother than johnnys ever was. Imagine if he had Honda technology behind him instead of archaic kawie crap... He'd still be winning. Thank you for posting this video. If anybody has anymore of this man please show the world what they missed out on if they never got to see him ride..
