He was delighted that someone from the other side of the world remembered him. Said it was difficult to obtain VMX mag in the states. Firko helped out by sending a few copies to him. I'm gutted. RIP Kenny

Great story & those classic photos.

Bailey, Pomeroy & Kenny Zahrt had me hooked on Bultaco's in 1973 and ever since.
