Malcom Smith riding his bike down the widowmaker was briljant ! and what about the guy with the dog making a pitstop ? or the guy building a fire in the dessert pretty funny stuff Cheers, Ed This is the kind of movie you'll watch over and over for years. As to the pitstop desert racing dog, I can't remember the racer's name, but as I remember, the dog's name was "Cookie". Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the framed Sports Illustrated photo of him on the cover pictured there. A Buddy gave it to me for my birthday one year, knowing what a McQueen fan I also was.

greeves Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 "On Any Sunday stretching up, reaching high Leaving my Monday world behind I fire my rockets and explode in the sky Kick up my heels until I find, I'm Flyin' Over my shoulder through the dust I'm calling Run wild and catch me if you can On Any Sunday I'm a flyin' man On Any Sunday looking back on the crowd From the far out place I found Screaming inside of me, and laughing out loud I'm losing contact with the ground, I'm flyin' Over my shoulder through the dust I'm calling Run wild and catch me if you can On any Sunday I'm a flyin' man Free as the wind, faster than time, reason and rhyme are running behind. Tasting the sun Feeling the Earth, Knowing my worth and freeing my mind... On Any Sunday, like the tail of a kite, Flying and dancing in the wind. I'd like to break the string and drift out of sight I may not pass this way again.. I'm Flyin' Over my shoulder through the dust I'm calling Run wild and catch me if you can On Any Sunday I'm a Flyin' Man" Big John (Fan of Bruce Brown's 'On Any Sunday') Watch and listen it here: http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=1qODJEH1JhE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriksson Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hello: I write you from Madrid, Spain. A friend of mine is working in making a book related to the 1970 ISDT, San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid, Spain. We are looking for an image of the announcement poster of the event. That is with the FIM logo, the name of the place, the date October 5 -10, and the picture of someone riding an off road bike. Should I ask to you if any of you have one? It is very important, because one book about the event without it will be incomplete. Only the jpg with the picture is needed for printing, and the procedure to get the rights permissions to print it, forms, charges and so on. If you do not have it but know who owns one, please tell me who, if you like, and we will get in touch with him. Thank you very much. Un saludo / Best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
