On Racing Motorcycles: Growing up in the Salinas Valley, I worked in the family business fabricating water storage tanks and virtually anything else, as long as it was made from steel. Motorcycle racing was a huge part of my life. Our area was filled with talented riders such as Ricky Graham, Doug Chandler, Bubba Shobert, and many others. My brother and I lived for the weekends, where we got to bang handlebars with some of the best. |
