20
" iation-of
Nevada race waiting for the leaders' to come throu .
comes the unmistakable sound of a big bore Husky, an
ack
Johnson comes into view. Nobody is surprised. You -can tellTt's Jack
before he's close enough for number plate or jersey to be recognized
because of his unique riding style.
~ He makes a ',q u ick but relaxed gas stop and takes off again. You
watch him ride out - fast, smooth, controlled, relaxed - man 'a n d
bike working_as' a single unit, and you think, "It looks so easy!"
Then you settle back and wait for ,the rest of the racers to arrive .
