Not Heroes, Legends
I admire and wonder about many motorcyclists that came before and many who are with us still that I've not met. I've ridden with and known a few listed here and read the words of others.
But the ones passed on can never know how we feel about them or how much we honor them, but the living legends are still here and deserve everyone's admiration and love ... NOW ... while still with us.
Just a few favorites:
Those passed on :
Steve McQueen (American, actor, MC racer)
Keenan Winn (American, actor, lifelong MC devotee)
Danny Liska (American, MC traveling pioneer, BS artist, writer)
Robert Fulton (American, early MC explorer, writer)
Joey Dunlap (Irish, best there ever was at IOM)
Lee Marvin (American, Actor, life long MC lover/rider)
Dennis Hopper (American, Artist, Actor, Patron of the arts, rider)
Those still with us:
Dick Mann (American, Racer, builder, legend)
Kenny Roberts (American, GP Champion, team owner, legend)
Ted Simon (British, Writer of best ever MC travel book,World MC traveler)
