Sweet article, thanks for posting

Check this out


3-Wheeling Magazine debuted an ’81 ATC 250R named the ghost – it was one of only a few trikes that Honda made white. Dean Kirsten and Tom Chambers made it all happen with the powers that be at Wright Publishing. The team was selected, all expenses were paid and the end results were great. The idea not only pleased Harry, but it made for great advertising for 3-Wheeling Magazine. After that Harry got picked up as a Honda factory rider! Harry’s highlight of his career was winning the Baja 500 in front of his wife, son and mother. This was the only desert race that any of them ever attended, so it was pretty special for him. Harry will always be known for his never-say-die character. He finished every single race he attended! Harry explains his last race, "I really took pride in my career of zero DNFs. I remember my last race – I crashed hard and fractured three ribs, broke my wrist, put the handlebar through the back of my leg, and suffered a concussion. I somehow re-mounted and rode off -- but in the wrong direction for God knows how long! Later I got turned around and back on track. Just when I thought it was all over, I seized it up only two miles from the finish. I pushed it for over a half mile! Just as I was about to pass out, it freed up, I was able to start it and I finished the ride from hell".
