That's great, Gary! I forgot that Joe Motocross was a cult hero!

I have my RacerX collector copy at home and trot it out every once in a while to read, especially in this weather.

Here's another one I think we can all relate to:

I was a big Peanuts fan as a kid. I had scapbooks full of Peanuts comic strips that I cut out daily from the local paper. Then around 1968 I discovered motorcycles...

Sure would love to have that RACER X collectors mag. I'll have to keep an eye out for it on evil bay.

Joe Motocross after the Italian round of the World Motocross Championship.
Translation:
"Here comes Joe Motocross!"
"What happened, Joe? You were going like a rocket..."
"You missed a curve?"
"No, I always have a fence like this around the leg!"

I believe this motocross cult age of Charlie Brown was in the 70's, which correlates perfectly with the explosion of dirt bikes. The last clip of Charlie and Linus googling over new bikes in the shop says it all: kids + bikes = fun!

Here's a different version of the video. The video starts at the Bike Shop.
