my uncle did some of the welding on his and evils bikes along with robbies and my family also helped build the engines and fuel tanks - me and robbie are still good pals to this day - me and robbie ran around hamilton montana together - my dad grew up with rex and are still pals to this day - when rex and evil went to japan we took care of there white malamute dogs

I helped build that ramp there on the Bell road crossing at Bell pond with John Mcnolty I think that was his name.

it was no accident...reckless rex toured in the 1970'sand 1980's in places such as the astro dome, the king dome, the oakland colluseum, mardi gras, and japan. He performed his backflip many times all over this country long before anyone else. he did this withhis best friend, Evel Kneivel, and famous photographer Jeffrey Werner by his side...dont believe me, google it!!
