So when I moved out and went to college I bought my first street bike and been hooked ever since.

I age myself all the time with my 70s and 80s references. Jimmy Ellis on the CanAm, right from next door in Connecticut. Hurricane Hannah still coolest to me. I rode amateur class at Florida AMA Winternationals in '86. There was Hannah at the rider meeting. After meeting he got on a RM250 (no more works bikes in '86), and wheelied back to the Team Suzuki box van. Crispest MX engine I ever heard, think the engine was more works than production.
