    Nice, but you do that on your Special, don't you?

    I recently saw some sweet stunting at a local bike night. They had the Yamaha Star Motorcycle trailer there, and I'm pretty sure Bill Dixon, a Yamaha-Sponsored rider was one of the stunters.

        No matter how many bikes I wrecked, and how many bones I broke, I'd never be able to do that.

            Wow, that's pretty amazing - nothing phases him - wet or dry, high or low, big bike or small, he whips them around all the same!
