From Super Hunky's website :

Rick Sieman 's 640 page book is now in its third printing, and if you're a real dirt biker, this is for you. Read what it's all about:

WARNING! STRAP YOUR HELMET ON BEFORE YOU READ THIS BOOK! IT'S A WILD RIDE! Outrageous, hard-hitting, hilarious, brutally honest, wildly entertaining and loaded with inside stories about the dirt bike industry, MONKEY BUTT! ch ron icles more than 30 years of this amazing phenomenon. Everything from bench racing and tall tales, to the huge land battles with the Phantom Duck, can be found in these pages.

If you've been a dirt biker at any time in the last quarter-century, you'll find plenty here to make you smile, some stuff to make you mad, and things that will stun you. Want an inside line on who really runs the AMA? It's here. What almost killed the motorcycle industry? The real story is in these pages. Want to get behind the scenes of the tests and stories that you read? MONKEY BUTT! tells the amazing saga of Dirt Bike Magazine, from Day One. “... I'm sure there's a number of things in here that will get both of us in a fair amount of trouble, but this is as close to the truth as you're going to get. - Paul Clipper /Trail Rider “... Finally, a book for those who remember what it used to be like in the Good Olde Days.” - Rondo Talbot/Mr. Know-It-All

“ .... This book is going to rattle a lot of cages, and it's long over-due. “Tom Fiala

“... A ch ron icle of the glory years of dirt riding, MONKEY BUTT! takes you through a time of radical changes, from the early days of crude, ill-handling bikes, to the current generation of high-tech marvels. It's also a behind-the-scenes look at the land use battles, and the motorcycle industry, recounted with humor, honesty, and great insight. You will be educated and entertained, for Rick is a very funny man who tells it like it was.” - Gil Vaillancourt/Works Performance

“ .... You are about to embark on a strange and wonderful journey through the rise and fall of the motorcycle industry, and I can practically guarantee that what you read here will not exactly be what you thought it would be. - Paul Clipper

Hey were doing a thing in school were we have to read a book

Now that I think of it there is a teacher with a new concept- actually making a student READ a BOOK :yikes: Hard to believe a teacher would be so cruel at least she makes it possible for the student to pick a book they can enjoy

maybe ill check some library's around town for it thanks

and now a second life lesson tossed in there

Lellis I hope you can find the book and get through it

Rich thanks for the offer but I think I will put it on my CHRISTmas wish list for now- If that doesn't work then maybe

 

[AJ Waggoner]

Sweet! I pm'd you my mailing address. You could just package it with the Demo 09 KX500AF and I'll help get the word out to the Canadian Market for you ;)

 

[AJ Waggoner]
