What’s going on here with Kenny & Pete ripping  my style moves off.  It’s more of a combo move of the 2.  Hand behind the helmet into a disco #1 with a slight whip with daddy long legs splits. Just remember it’s not if you win or loose. It’s how good you look. 

Kenny and his no-footers and no-handers back in the 70s, me and everyone at the trails were inspired and throwing these, and Rex Staten knee out cross ups, and Bad Brad or Decoster cross ups.   and Pete, always was the most stylish looking test rider.  Icon's in my book.  

Got Kenny's autograph at the Trans AMA, just before he got on his street bike to ride to the next round.  Those were the days.

And yet it still has less moving parts than a 4-stroke.

You can run your clutch lever like this when you don't use it 😉

If you were around in the late 70's/80's you remember this guy....

The Wheelie King.

 

Anyone notice anything "special" about the bike?

The world is filled with petty/little assholes.   Simple as that.

Carburetor was mounted at a different angle to prevent fuel starvation.

Watched Doug wheelie around Unadilla (except Screw-u section).

I think you'll find a lot of what you see on here has to do with who posted it and not the post itself.
