Thanks for sharing. Great read.

 

Ill never forget being at the Daytona 200 the year that Russell got in the bar fight at Razzles the night prior to the race. There were rumors flying that it was one of his own mechanics that hit him because he was talking smack about the bike....LOLZ Good Times!!! I also remember at Road Atlanta one year, watching the VR fly by every lap, getting louder and louder and the exhaust canister getting looser and looser every pass until it eventually went flying by with no canister and loud as all hell.... They had some FANTASTIC riders...Duhamel, Russell, Chandler, and Carr were ALL champions at one point with Russell winning both the AMA and World Superbike and Duhamel eventually moving on to be one of the most winningest riders in all of AMA until Matt M'Ladin came along
