Art in the Hall of Fame for sure. If ripping off the riders for there well earned year end contingency money gets you in the hall then yes to Fraser as well. Peace:-)

Isn't it obvious now Colin Fraser's oft remarked "Art Robbins was probably the greatest waste of talent in the history of the sport in Canada" is just stupid. Two #1 plates and a garage full of trophies just don't cut it for this genius. Colin's quote reminds me of a fool talking about his acquaintances tragic deaths rather than the fascinating lives they'd led.

Mr. Fraser, here's a quote - "Colin Fraser is the greatest waste of space in the history of motorcycle racing in North America"

@JAGaleaffan

Having known both Art and Colin 'during the time', well, I too have mentioned to people quite similar about Art - and it was never derogatory – fairly certain Colin meant (means) it in that light as well. Art's phenomenal natural talent *could* have taken him anywhere and beyond, just that he chose different paths. Art would get my vote for a Hall of Fame spot, as would Colin for his *decades* of positive effort towards the sport in Canada.

Thanks for the vids! ***** :-) Gord
