Cool story "> So did I, watched a motorcycle documentary called "Bike Heros" on Amazon a few days ago about the likes of Shakey Byrnes, Kenny Rogers, Wayne Rainey, Randy Mamola, Eddie Lawson era of riders and was surprised to see this pop up in my news feed... I'm glad to see he can still ride thanks to some nifty technology, I can only imagine after that day of riding he had a whole new outlook on life... 1 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Rogers is a country singer here in the U.S. Significant difference there... I'm thinking Wayne Rainey already had a whole new outlook on life considering he was out thrashing around on shifter carts not all that long after his injury. Never one to let the moss grow under his wheels. I'm sure he loved riding again, but has been playing hard in other ways. If you get a chance look up what Doug Henry has been doing off road. Really wild. Edited November 9, 2019 by klx678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you who don't know him, he was 3-time National MX champion in both the 250 and 500 (two stroke) classes, as well a one-time 250 Supercross champion. His career was cut short like so many with a crash that left him a parapelgic at 25. I saw him race live a couple of times - he was FAST and so smooth! The first link is the Wiki page on him, and the second has a link of him riding a MX bike on a MX track 19 years after his wreck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bailey_(motorcyclist) https://www.adventuresportsnetwork.com/sport/moto/video-david-bailey/ Edited November 10, 2019 by FZ07R WaNaB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Well, that's a name (among others mentioned) that I haven't heard in quite awhile, good for him. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossrider Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Wayne has been very active in the sport since his forced retirement from racing due to his crash. He, as CEO and 2 others, formed the KRAVE group to resurrect and promote the floundering DMG/AMA pro racing series in 2015 and formed MotoAmerica to get roadracing back on track in this country. I see him at every race event. He's a great ambassador for the sport as it seems to be doing a little better each year since they took over in 2015. He's always jetting around on this or in his chair, Props. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
