    An American MX legend dies

    Marty Smith. My first moto hero before Bob Hannah passed in a dune buggy crash along with his wife.

    Very sad to see that. He was one of the stars of the 70's for sure.

    We also just lost Joe Bolger, one of the original NESC guys:

    If you've ever been through Barre MA and saw a Morgan 3 wheeler in town I've been told that was Joe. I always hoped I'd bump into him there some time but I never did.

    I heard he also invented a suspension system way back. The Bolger link? Kind of like the Suzuki full floater idea IIRC. Never mind just read the article.
