Impressive is the fact that Lonnie has only been riding for two years; his first ride was the 1964 Greenhorn. Like Jim Bassey did last Sunday at the Prado Park TT-Scrambleswhere a slightly modified X-6 took First Place in the 250cc Ex. Class and the Lightweight Sweepstakes. You can own an X-6 for as little as $29.75 per month.
