Great article about a great era.
I had the pleasure of seeing
"Springer" race a Bultaco at
Sante Fe back in the summer
of '75 while he was in his rookie
year and with Vista Sheen, so
he obviously was already used
to the two-stroke bikes.
As always, Double L [Larry
Lawrence] hits it home with this
one.
Thanks CN and LL for helping
us old guys relive a great era!

Been a "Springer" fan since the
beginning.
Thanks again, Cycle News.

Loved watching Jay ride. Truly
one of the best ever.

Yamaha, shame on you, and to
add insult to injury, will you be
expecting us American riders
to plunk down a $500 non-
refundable security deposit
when it is finally released, like
the FJR1300 and 1200 Tenere?
Remember those insults?!
Steve Reid
Crevier Inducted
to Canadian
Motorcycle HOF
It was my great pleasure to
present Steve with his first-place
trophy at Mid-Ohio in 1998 for
his win in the 600 SuperSport
class that day. He was always
very gracious with his fans, mak-
ing him a fan favorite wherever
he raced.
I was also at Daytona that
spring when he wiped out the
bike in the picture at the kink af-
ter the international horseshoe.
Absolutely the most spectacular
destruction of a racing motorcy-
cle I have personally witnessed.
Steve came off a lowside, when
the bike hit the grass/sand it
caught went flipping up about 12
feet up in the air, and exploded
when it hit the ground again. The
mushroom cloud that rose up
from the explosion was some-
thing else! I was told that the
bike was so utterly broken apart
that it came back to the pits as
pile of parts on a pallet!
Congrats Steve, it was great
being a fan of yours and hope to
see you again sometime at the
races.

Congrats! As a huge '90s AMA
Superbike fan and former club
racer in the Canadian scene,
there was not a nicer guy to run
into, see that smile, shake his
hand, and wish him the best.
Really, all the Canadians who
were part of this scene and su-
perbike/supersport glory days
played a big part in the enter-
tainment and racing we enjoyed
back then. Oh Canada!

Congratulations on your induc-
tion to the Canadian Motorcycle
Hall of Fame. I was a volunteer
pit crewmember in 1998 for
Yosh/Suzuki at Daytona and
some other AMA Road Race
Nationals. You were always
a fierce competitor and a fun
guy to be around. It was an
honor and a real fun time to have
worked with you.
All the best now and in the
future.
