@ Burd!

Thanks for the reminder, was actually meaning to do that reference point, so have just added that and will do for the future top 5's and other articles. That fight with flight promo is crazy! Good to see its got so many viewings!

Mark "Rad Dad" Dandridge said...

That was a great Top 5. I had the opportunity to ride with Steve one time. It was very brief yet very memorable. I am post #6 so at least 4 more comments should be made to round it up to 10.

Keep on Riding!
