Ol Smoke Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 This took place in Barstow, California in 1975. I was racing in a cross country motorcycle race with a friend. We were racing over the open desert from Barstow to Las Vegas. I was looking around at the hundred and something riders there when I saw, who I thought, was Steve McQueen. It turned out it was. But the greatest thing I saw during this race was a guy riding a 400 Husky with a dog on the gas tank. I found he road with that dog everywhere and the dog never fell off. He had made a carpeted area on the gas tank for the dog to ride on. I saw him twice on the course and the dog was just riding along....about 75mph. The cool thing....the dog wore goggles and a handkerchief around his neck. The dog's name was "Cookie". John McGowan was the guy's name. 1 Quote
