What’s your riding season like when you have spring training starting this early and a professional baseball schedule that lasts so long?
Well, if we’re not in contention (for league championships) then I’m looking for October 1st. My bike’s already clean and ready to go. I ride from October to the middle of January, maybe February. I’ve got a motocross track, a half-supercross track and a cool 50 track at my ranch in Texas. So, me and the kids, we have a good time riding.
I’ve seen you stir up the press in LA about reading motocross magazines in the locker room. Any truth to that?
Yeah, I wear the motorcycle magazines out. I read you guys every month for six months.
