The general consensus of opinion, as I'm told, is the following, and I couldn't agree more:

Jay Springsteen is considered to be the greatest Grand National Flat Track racer in history
Kenny Roberts is considered to be the greatest "all-around" motorcycle racer in history
Ricky Rizzon is considered by the AMA to be the finest east-coast based Flat track privateer in history


All 3 written about extensively in the just published September AMA issue. Based around the epic 1975 Indy Mile...2-strokes vs. Harley-Davidson...incredible read. Fetch one if you can and hang onto it.

Posted this pic on here once before, but it's timeless and worthy of a repeat. Rizzon with Springsteen at the York Fairgrounds Half-Mile Grand National race Spring of 1982. Rizzon one of my best friends. I took the picrizzon.jpg
