"Why? I didn't want to ride my 1974 CZ in 1975, and I sure don't want to ride it in 2009. To me, a vintage bike is the one I just got off of. "

"True-to-life races were 45-minutes long. That distance was chosen to test not only the mettle of the man, but the metal itself."

 "History is rarely written by the men who lived it–instead it is often overanalyzed by those who came after. These ante-bellum historians infuse the past with nostalgia, quaintness and errors. They coat it with the colors that they think will make it seem the most romantic or, in some cases, archaic. They make heroes out of the villains, ascribe greatness to machines that were horrid and miss the watershed moments in their hindsight. "

"–a racer from the seventies would find modern motocross neither manly nor gentlemanly. "
