Bubba was one of my early bike racing hero's and I don't have too many photos of him nor do I have
a TON of stories. I just remember him being fantastically talented and a classy, humble guy who had
his career cut short. I just wanted to read some stories you may have to share and also any photos
you may have as well since I am working on another art piece of him. Thanks! :wave:

These are currently the only snaps of him I have in my flickr bike set. If I find more...Laguna '89 was the only race I shot that he was in...I will post the links here at a later date.

Bubba is a great guy and still around at races. I talked to him quite a bit at laguna last week. Unfortunatley for this forum most of the bubba stories cannot be repeated in mixed company! Huge talent and loved by all.
