Title: Danny Hamel's bike rides again!!
Post by: USMC 500 on February 19, 2013, 03:26:22 PM

A buddy of mine offered to sell me one of Danny's practice bikes last year but unfortunatly I didn't have the cash.  I spoke with him today and he said that he still had the bike but he was no longer selling it.  Instead his 17 year old son has become quite the little desert racer in the hare and hound series.  Here are some youtube videos of his son racing Danny Hamels bike.......Danny, miss ya buddy.
