Fifty years later, savvy motor-
cyclists are still scouring the ads,
looking for a deal on that one bike
they've always wanted. It's still
a fun pastime, and technology
(video clips of the engine actually

little less dicey for buyers. Sadly,
no one is held financially account

which means the shopper is play-

Russ Darnell was one of America's top MX'ers in the

traveled the country in his motorhome and conducted
motocross school at tracks across the USA.

Becoming a
top Grand Prix
MX star was
a full-time
gig, so Jim
Pomeroy's
family was
getting
out of the
motorcycle
business in
order to focus
on the "First
American's"
career.
