Nothing super special but I thought some of us would get a kick out of this.

I once heard my buddy Bill ask Danny Hamel after a race....
"How can someone who looks like a high school band tuba player go so d**n fast on a bike?!"

Thats cool thanks for the post. I'd have a hard time being a shop owner having that much $$$ in irreplaceable machinery on the floor, let alone being Ward & just setting it out like that. Lot of skill & hard work to earn those machines.
if I only had a pair, I could actually ride this thing

& to the people I like  FYYFF

Jeff Ward was one of my heroes back in the day, and he can still rip on a dirt bike!

VERY cool post.

 I remember meeting him when I was about 11 yrs old.  I was trying to get his autograph at Hi Point in Pennsylvania. I kept saying Mr. Ward!  Mr. Ward!  He never turned around.    Somebody came up and said  Hey Jeff!!!  He immediately turned and gave us all autographs.   :-D   He probably didn't know who I was calling.   hahahah.

Yeah Thanks. Just rub it in...lol

Would be pretty sweet to have that many bikes to choose from. After watching that video I looked up a bunch of motox that Ward raced in. Was a good 3 hours of watching him kick dirt in everyone's face.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

I remember those '85 "Works Replicas".   I had both an '84 KX125 (insane power, and a junk unreliable frame), and I had an '88 125 (fantastic all around bike).
