Well I've been to supercross many ,many time's before ,but yesterday I went to my 1st supermoto race and was blown away.It's kinda a long story but to sum it up my buddie's nephew is a chiropractor and he has a booth set-up in the pit's too do adjustment's on the pro's.Soooo me and my Daughter were VIP's for the day.All I did all morning was walk around and talk to these rider's and there mechanic's,I did say Hi to Jeff Ward but he looked pretty wore out,so I did'nt really talk to him ,but I did chat with Broc Glover for a couple minute's.He's given up on the racing and is a Big Wig for Dunlop tire's.He explained the whole process on how his guy's do the tire's for supermoto and said he is a busy man nowaday's with PR work.He was a very nice guy.The best part of the day was walking by a trailer and seeing this rider,I had too do a double take,at 1st I thought it was Ron Lachine(former MX ,supercross rider),anyway's I asked him who he was ,He was sitting on a chair,I said he looked really farmilar.At this point I knew he was someone but,could'nt figure it out.He put's his hand out and say's Micky Dymond,whew I talked to him for a second and he sat back down,told me he was hot and told me too have a seat.Anyway's I talked too him for a few minute's and told him I alway's loved supercross and bike's but my real root's were with Trike's.I was representing my new trikefest '07 shirt and told him about 3ww.Told him that we have guy's like Coe,and Driscoll and other's from back in the day on the site also.He was really impressed.I also was telling him about how guy's have been doing the 450 Honda and Yamaha conversion's and about my 600,he was amazed about that stuff.He reminised about how back in the day when he was mx'ing 125cc and how the series was back then.He then started telling me that Denton was a rep. on one of the race team's there,pointed me in that direction and told me that he'd get a kick about talking trike's with me.I never found him later.But Mickey told me that he was 42 year's old and felt very privelaged too be where he's at ,and I agreed that he probably was.He laughed and said that at least he's younger than Ward.I laughed and told him it was great talking too him and I was gonna go but wanted a pic's with him.That's me with mickey,and A few other's of the event.I gotta tell you that those rider's and mechanic's were really nice ,Basically I was blown away at there hospitality,I also got to check out some real sick pit Bike's and got some behind the scene TV interview's..I will with-out a doubt be there again next year,check out the vacum system on the pit bike,never seen anything like it before..
