Bad ass dude! Some serious Steve McQueen vibes going on here. I grew up next to Lakewood "Thunder Valley" national motocross track in the 80's and 90's. Riding and racing moto was the shit! My body has paid a bit of a price at 40 now, but nothing beats riding. Happy Birthday to your pops!

Thank you! He unfortunately was in an accident when my mom was pregnant with me and had an under the knee amputation. He sure missed riding that's for sure! He still crawls under cars to wrench on them to this day though. He is still a bad ass lol

If this photo was taken in the US then Steve McQueen helped make it possible. In 1963 Kim Kimball began importing Montesas to the States with the help of Steve McQueen.
