The Ben. Again.

Stickboy has the same bike.

 

No doubt. Heck if you have the money you might as well set your kid up to be successful. Not faulting him for that at all.

 

Same. Crawdaddy was cool.

 

Jamie is way freakin' cooler in person.

and even if you don't understand 1/2 of what he says the other half will leave you laughing. and you will also leave talking just a bit like him as well. Great guy who corners low.

My kid's first name came from Lawson. Another good dude.

 

My shop teacher in high school was a racing fan. He asked me if I knew who the fastest racer from Louisiana was and my immediate response was “Jamie James!” He looked at me weird and said “ummm no! Freddie Spencer!” Oh yeah, that guy was pretty good too! Hahahahaha

 

You named your first kid Eddie? That's mean!!!


Jamie is one of the funniest and coolest fast guys I know. I crashed in front of him during one of the 24 hr of Nelsons and he ran off the track to avoid hitting me while I was laying in the middle of the track. Later he came around and found me to see how I was doing and I think he said he recognized my pink and grey leathers so he avoided me. I wonder if he hadn't known me if he would have just run me over? I gave him a beer and thanked him for not hitting me.

The end

 

Hey hey hey... TAKE IT BACK!!!

 

A local dealer was trying to sell a Jamie James replica forever. Hell, they might still have it. Doubt too many people down here even know of him.

 

You know Freddie was fast, he will tell you. Too bad he wasn’t fast at looking at his bank account or he’d have noticed all the money his ex wife took.

 

I believe you are correct, they had some decent parts IIRC.

 

Yeah. Go get ‘em Eddie!

 

You cannot understand him but always seemed to be smiling.

 

I think he was a two time world champion (At least? More? From memory). I don't understand the purpose of bringing up issues he experienced in his personal life.

 

I think he and his old mechanic Doug Crawford were building them at their shop in NC. They were crazy expensive for that time period, around $20k I think. I think Jamie moved back down here to the swamp somewhere a few years ago.

 

Sadly, there were issues that prevented him from even greater success. Well beyond a spouse.

I hated him as a TV person cause he always said "Yaou-maw" instead of Yamaha. :--)

 

3 time. Last person to win 2 world road racing championships(250 and 500) in the same year.

Does Pridmore annoy you too when he says "YAMM-a-haw"?
