I think it was the fact that it wasn't something anyone done at that time.

I concur. I grew up on bikes like the Yamaha Enduro 125 and 250. Then on to the XT250 which was just as fat as the earlier Enduro's. Then I had a XR200 that seemed like magic next to the others. From there, it was all 2 stroke coolness that jumped like mad. I have ridden the new 450F Honda's and that shit just ain't for me. It's like having a rocket on dirt. :D

I happen to see the little paragraph to the lower right of that clip and it got me intrigued.

Quite rightly, it is no longer acceptable to mock people for being black, homosexual, ginger, deformed or Irish, so let us start this morning by mocking Gerald Ford, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, Ross Perot, Al Gore, Obama Barrack and John McCain. People, in other words, who are all left-handed.

At present, this terrible condition affects around 11% of the world’s population and yet in certain fields the number is high enough to raise statistical eyebrows.


I find this humerous, as I too am left handed. :D

Have you ever ridden an old Triumph?




BTW - I own a '69 TR6 and I bet you'd have a hard time

He was not only cool, but also a bad motherfucker as well.

This. The guy did the jump, but he's missing the 5000 tons of fucking cool that McQueen had.
